For those of you who know me well know I have never been a fan of country music. It gives me a headache. It has since I was little ...country music = big headache. HOT Sun blaring through my window + country music = Migraine. (j/k I don't get migraines but feel like this would cause one). I am not a fan of the whininess, twanginess, or drawls BUT one show has caught my attention..

Get ready for this...they have Dee Snider, Carni Wilson, Julio Igelesias Jr., Diana DeGarmo (of american idol fame), Sisqo (if you know thong song -you know him), Maureen McCormick (yes apparently Marcia Brady can sing) and get ready for this......BOBBY BROWN!!!! All vying to be the next big COUNTRY music star...there, I said and you heard me..COUNTRY music star. Okay. All I had to hear was Bobby Brown and I am all ears. He is a train wreck. Though I do have a soft spot for him cuz I was known to bust a move or sing along to "Every Little Step" or "My Preogative", and who doesn't love a little "Tender Roni". Am I right ladies?

The DVR is set to record and this our new late night entertainment. They aired the premier last Friday and Carter and I are hooked. These stars have to transform themselves into a country music singer.. I mean write their own songs,play the guitar, work on the farm, etc. The guy who teaches and judges them is John Rich. I don't know who this man is but apparently he is big in the country music world...big enough that he wears fur coats all the time. (pimp daddy) Anyway, we were laughing and are intrigued by the concept. I guess their goal is to reach a more diverse audience. I have a feeling we are in for some good laughs.

p.s. I know there are some of you out there that love country music so I apologize if I offended any of you, but we embrace each others differences, right? :)

I'll have to check it out! I'm with you on the country thing--can't stand it. But I am a huge fan of these ridiculous reality shows, not sure why, but I get a big kick out of 'em. Thanks for introducing me to a new one! :)

I'm with you on the Country Music. But how did I not know about this show? I will be doing a search on the DVR momentarily, the writers strike is making me desperate for entertainment!

Oh Sandra, I'm so disappointed in you. I can't believe you've headed into the dark side. No way in 'He double toothpicks.'

Kara - now don't think I am endorsing or enjoying country music...FAR from it. I am watching for the pure entertainment (and lack of anything else on TV).

Sus- the reason you haven't heard is because it is on CMT..and we both know we don't watch that channel I just saw Maureen McCormick promoting it on GTU the day before it aired.

This is freaking hilarious, Ive never heard of it yet! This has gone too far. I like country music minus the corny stuff...but Bobby Brown needs to stick to his preogative.

love ya, Karen
