Well, duh. The ones with a bit of talent are "voted" out in the finals because they have a shot at stardom without winning. The iffiest candidate wins because they'd have no chance otherwise.

/trust me, it's all in the script

She's purty

Shocking that nashville picks a tall, good-looking blonde who looks really good in jeans. What's next, a guy in a black cowboy hat?

...but we already knew losers could be winners, since the winners are such losers.

all it proves is that the Nashville Pop machine is always on the lookout for chicks who look like strippers and maybe can sing.

Wow, you just made country make a lot more sense to me. I've wondered for years why I watch CMT on mute.

They even have stripper names now. Seriously, if I told you about this hot blonde named Taylor Swift, would you think she was a country singer or a porn star?

Yeah but can Kristy Lee cook?

Good lord, she was f*cking terrible. Really, really bad. Consistently flat, no rhythm, and spent more time on her hair and wardrobe than rehearsing. Pretty, but zero talent.

Oh, wait...She's making COUNTRY music?

I guess she'll fit in fine, then.

thread useless without pics etc etc.

She doesn't have the grace and poise of Jenny Pickler.

Why be surprised she signed with Arista Nashville. She was previously signed and dumped by them.

She sings "today's country music" (i.e. not country music), right?

More and more losers are going to Country music. Soon the entire genre will explode in a fantastic blaze of suck. I can't wait.

Country music fans - they just don't care a whole hell of a lot about that talent thing - as long as she's purty.

A skinny blonde girl straddling a horse. That just screams country or a future in kinky videos.

i like real country, not nashville pop.

i heard an interview with bo bice on the radio. he was thankful he made it far since it openned up doors but also was glad he didn't win. his reason was that if he had won, he would have had to make other peoples music. by losing he felt he gained some creative control.

Yeah, see also Daughtry.
