we stopped watching several weeks ago..
The band is excellent for sure..some of the talent is good as well...
the judges..YUK for sure..that one guy, the left over hippy supposed world re-known songwriter..., I personally think he is trying to steal the whole show with his Simon impersonation. He stinks, the songs he sings stink, he's not even as good as some of the talent on the show..This show is HIS claim to fame..or at least he's attempting to make it that..
"Let me tell you what I think, here's the way it is, listen to what I'm saying, here's what I need to hear from you, this is what I'm looking for"
barf barf barf...
The young girl probably has the best opportunity to get anything out of this show..but she is NOT a Miranda Lambert or a Buddy Jewel..she is gonna need a serious top producer and a TOP 10 tune right out of the gate or she will just become part of the landscape with all the others who tried and now work at the Waffle House.
but in the scheme of things, I'm on the TV tube side of the TV show... 
what do I know..

| I agree what has a rock singer got to do with country. The show gets worse every year. The woman judge wouldn't know talent if it run over her. All in all bad show. |

As my wife reminded me, it is "Nashville Star", not "Country Star".
The band is great, and John (the band leader / lead guitarist) really does his homework - and he has a great attitude too.

"Nashville Star, not Country Star" That pretty much nails it.
I thought that Jaylon kid was the real deal. One can only imagine just where he could go with that voice. I couldn't help but to think that Anastasia influenced his demise with all of her mockeries about his faith. That was flat-out discrimination in my book. But, it seems like that's acceptable these days unless it come from the other side.
The cowboy, while he's got a good voice is about as Sears and Roebuck Cowboy as you can get on stage. He might be a real cowboy, but he looked like he seemed like he would sell out his own mom to win the nomination.
The girl has the best chance of really making it of all who are left. All the best have been weeded out now. |

I watched some of the show last year, and I enjoyed it for the most part. I watched one show this year, and haven't watched it again. And the judges are what turned me off!!Their terrible!!!

| I agree completely about the judges, they're pathetic. I watched three episodes and by the third one I found myself using the mute button every time the judges started to speak. That long haired songwriter...it looks like he riles a lot of people because he hasn't got a shirt left that someone hasn't torn the sleeves off of. |

Oh, he's a songWRITER. That explains why he is flat as a board every time he opens his mouth. Anastacia Brown? Did she exist somewhere before this show? Jayron, if you are listening out there somewhere, quit. You have done just fine with your singing AND your faith up till you met that panel full of losers. Go on, make your mark on this world. We love you! BTW, what happened to Leann?

Bret Michaels, a songwriter? I didn't know he was a songwriter now.
His claim to fame is being the singer from the '80's LA glam rock band "Poison".
I have NO idea how he got on a Nashville show.

There are a lot of better washed up rockers that they could have chosen to judge a country music talent show!

| Brett Michaels used to be this punk kids who would chase our band around wanting to open for us. He was an obnoxious punk back then and he hasn't changed much. He couldn't sing in tune then and he still can't. We all wanted to give up we he actually made it. It was like waking up to a nightmare. But, now he's a talent judge??? Sheeeesh!!!! |

| My wife and I watched the first season of American Idol and really enjoyed it. We watched a few shows the first season of Nashville Star and didn't like it. Sounds as if it's gotten even worse, which doesn't surprise me. We can't get it on TV anymore and can't say we miss it. Give me Kelly Clarkson any day. |

| Personally, I don't think anybody should be giving this show any credibility by watching it, besides, we all know that country music's better than it sounds anyway ......... |

I like the rockabilly dude. He sounded awful the night they had to come up with their own songs---but so did most ALL the contestants. He's gonna be too far "out" for the show, the hat guy is, well, A FREAKIN" HAT GUY, and the girl is OK, but she's missing something...
As far as Brett Michaels, remember, he DID front a band that was more successful than most of us, and he was probably given advice along the lines of,"Bring it---Make me feel it---Give it to me." And apparently it worked, at least for a while.
What about Phil Vassar? every other word is "GREAT!" Be OK if he was selling frosted flakes----which, come to think of it, may be what this show is all about. |

What was the name of the "Star" who won last year? .....Bret Williams "song writer"? Ok that explains most the crap coming out of Nashville. How is his mike stand twirling? That is how to judge a "big " act nowadays.Good vocals Ok but not necessary.

| Brad Cotter was won last year, I believe. I liked him. He was also bold about his faith. Maybe that's why they decided to crucify Jayron this year. |

The one thing I seem to get out of all these "reality" shows (Nashville Star, American Idol, The Apprentice, Survivor, etc.) is that the contestants are chosen because they will be "good TV" not because they are the most competent.
ie, it's not reality, just entertainment trying to disguise itself as reality. |

I sat and watched some of the NSTAR marathon over the weekend and my thoughts were confirmed..
Phil Vasser, who actually is a great singer, this lineup of judges , where do they come from ? The Anastasia gal, who the heck is she, ccan she sing, does she sing? does she work at Wallmart the rest of the week ?
The Brett Poison guy..if his arms and Tatooes got any bigger he would be on PPV as a Wrestler. They keep introducing him with his "TOP #1 Country Hit Single"..
I like Phil but he's pretty redundant, Everyone is great, he loves them all..Thats pretty safe as a judge I guess...
now for my full faced analysis..
The contestants were all singing with both Jamie O'Neal and Phil Vasser..both of whom I believe are excellent singers, they can both really rip..
there was not 1, and I mean not 1 of the 5 final contestants on the stage that came within a Country mile of the ability of Phil or Jamie..and I think thats what this show is supposed to be about, isn't ?
When I watched that "ALL TOGETHER" peformance I couldn't help but think to myself..one of them is supposed to be close to the level of the 2 who are already NVILLE Stars...and the lable execs are probably more criticle than I am..ya think ?
And of course the next show featured the Wrestler singing his #1 Country Hit song..
I think the radio's in our house are all broken..we've never heard of him or any of his songs before this NVILLE Star show..
Jayron, fine singer and seemed like a good guy too..his demise had nothing to do with the gal judge in my view. I think she was responding to all of the back stage moments that they filmed . Don't get me wrong, we are of strong faith here at home but I couldn't connect him with being a Worship Leader and a Country Singer at the same time either..being of strong faith , leading Worship singing on Sundays and singing " I Love this Bar " on Friday nights doesnt fit in my book either..make no mistake, it is a conflict....A record lable is NOT going to come out of the gate with a limited
song list for CD...
We have all played for years with musicians who drink , smoke and act like drunken Sailors on Fri and Sat nights, but on Sundays they put on there best duds and play music in Church..personally for me I don't care what they do but from the faith point of view that is a conflict...and I'm not infering that Jayron is a drunken Sailor ! I think the Gal Judge looked at the senario and called it as she saw it...I didn't hear her say anything that was off base or offensive to Jayron...She said she sees him on the bill with Amy Grant..now how is that an insult ? She aligned him with one of the most famous/popular singers in the nation...

Tony,
If I am not mistaken - Anastasia (sp?) is Tony Brown's wife. I'm not sure what qualification that is, but that is the only thing I have heard about her. Maybe she was in the "biz" before meeting and marrying Tony.
Just FYI,
