Tonight is the premiere of Nashville Star 5. I don't know if it can top last year's show, but I'm looking forward to seeing the contestants for the first time. And apparently, the judges eliminate two contestants tonight before turning over the voting to the viewers next week.
It's hard to pick a favorite from the clips on the website. I remember last year I wasn't too impressed with any of them, but everything changed once they hit the stage "live". I haven't chosen anyone as my favorite yet.
I'll miss Wynonna as a host and we'll see how Jewel does as the new host. She's got to be better than LeAnn Rimes/Sara Evans in Season 3! And what is up with Jewel? She's going from pop to dance to now Country? Although one could argue that her debut cd had tinges of Country/folk.
Cowboy Troy is back, as well as Anastacia Brown. No Phil Vassar this year (BOO!) but Blake Shelton & Randy Owen (from Alabama) are there. Some Beach!
The show airs on the USA Network at 9ET. Here's hoping for a good series.
