Reality shows that do not get their own thread

Anybody else watching Nashville Star?

I am so bummed that Ashlee was eliminated last night I just loved her. She and Melissa are my picks. I don't care about anybody else left. Who is voting for Coffey? He is nice - but a star? Shawn? She looks too much like Monica Lewinski for me Oh well. Just felt liking being all whiny about my girl Ashlee I sure hope somebody signs her. Like Jewel said, she is the one that seemed most like a real artist.

I'm watching it. I think Melissa's the best out of who's left, but really no one has wowed me at all this year.

Yeah, Melissa and Ashlee have been my faves all along. Of the people left I think only Melissa stands a chance at a real career and considering the track record for this show even that is iffy. I do think maybe Ashlee could be this year's Miranda Lambert.

Congrats Melissa! Well deserved!

YAY for the fat middle-aged looking woman! I know it is very un-PC for me to say that, but man it makes me happy when the one in the general category of me wins (even if I could be her mother...in Hollywood she would go up for the same parts as me, regardless.

I am assuming she won..haven't seen it yet.

OK, saw it, the win: YAY!!!!!

The one thing that makes me kind of like country music is that women are much more represented (and powerful!) in that biz.

Some of the lyrics make me wanna puke outright, but at least it is women who do not necessarily look like young hotties singing it. In all forms of entertainment, I like to see women who represent something I can at least imaginatively identify with.

I do love the Dixie Chicks.

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!
