Nashville Star-less

Nashville Star is the official family program in our house - all four of us watch every (DVR'd) episode. We all love country music. It's 99% family friendly. The musicians are actually talented and the judges are trying to get the best out of them and not just score zings or upstage the hosts (like American Idol).



With only one episode to go this season, it's clear that the brother-sister finalists will definitely be around for a while, however this NY Times article points out that Nashville Star is missing a bona fide breakout star to really put it on the map. I thought for sure last year's winner, Chris Young, would've been huge by now, but for some reason he hasn't cracked the country music rotation. I'd like to think that this season's winner might get over the hump, but somehow I don't think they're the polished package Nashville is looking for.
