Next Week - Nashville Star

Several shows seem to be winding down. "The Next Food Network Star" announced their winner on Sunday. "Design Star" and "Nashville Star" both end next week. DS on Sunday and NS on Monday. Last nights "Nashville Star" was really good. The four remaining singer each performed on song, then the person who came in last place in the viewer voting was eliminated. They make it seem like the viewers voted off the person going home, but that's really not the case. We chose who we voted for with the intent of answering the question, "Who should be the next Nashville Star?" We are not voting for "Who should go home?"

Coffey was the one who was eliminated last night. That leaves Melissa Lawson, Gabe Garcia and Shawn Mayer. If the poll on NBC's website is at all accurate, Melissa's ahead. I think all three are good, though Gabe and Melissa are my favorites. I think that more than one career will come out of the show. I'm not convinced, though, that none of the contestants were as good as some of the top acts in this season's "Can You Duet". Put Caitlin up against Melissa, Will up against Gabe and either Coppola against Shawn and I think the NS bunch would lose all three matches.
