And a lot of the songs women are singing now in country are about "women empowerment" or women taking back their lives! I have no real fondness for any male country stars, but there are several female stars I truly enjoy. I am really loving Miranda Lambert - she came in 3rd in the first season of Nashville Star and her career has really taken off!

So happy for Melissa and I also LOVE that the heavy 32 year old won! Mother of 5 boys! She has a fantastic voice! I happened to think she is just as beautiful as a lot of the young blonde hotties out there!
