but Reader, it was a really close vote they said (and Canadians couldn't vote by phone) so he must have been getting lots of American votes (like you great guys!).

Brad didn't seem surprised in the least that he won. I'll be hoping to hear more from George.

Well, it never matter to me that he was Canandian. I just loved the way he sang and I think he will be on the radio.

Well, I just am not a Brad fan, so my take on his closing song, and statements arent positive... only because I am being honest!! lol Plus I still think until they show the numbers of the votes, they have a way to sway the votes... there is talk on AI that they can bank phones... like have 5 lines to take one number and 8 to take another.... NOT that anyone on tv would like to have an outcome....

Hey if the great American audience did not support Canadian singers, a lot of famous singers would not be singing today!! Shania, Celine, Alanis, Sarah, Avril,barenaked ladies..and the list goes on!!!

Well, another one bites the dust. But where was Kady??? I hope you didn't post your picks and have them get lost somehow? I feel bad that you were leading the whole way and then didn't vote the last week for some reason. Anyway... congrats to Carlspsmom for sweeping the picks for the win! Thanks everyone for playing- hope to see you again for Nashville Star 3!

Crap...I thought I did make my picks. I even told my DH I had won. Oh well...I had it right so I won in my heart. I was pulling for Brad but I like George too. They are both winners in my book and I will buy their CD's the day they are released.

Wow! Now, I have to admit to all of you one thing. I never watched an entire show! I always forgot until I came here.I caught a few moments here and there and that was it. I truly just picked out of the air. Woo Hoo! This was fun but pure luck. You guys are terrific to hang out with and read.

Then, Kady, you should win. If you had your picks, then so be it. I know you would not post other than what you thought. Congrats!

You did that without watching a show. Now I'm impressed!! I usually let my likes or dislikes kill me in all these polls. This time I was lucky to like the right people!! You are a real sweetie to say that I should win. Congrats to you for being so lucky. Now only if you could be that lucky with a lottery ticket or something like that.

Ok came for fast final comments. I think if George doesn't get a recording deal out of this I'll FAINT! My take is country goes in cycles between classic country and more middle of the road mainstream and right now I think Brad fits taht mold better. BUT overall I think George is the bigger talent, just more traditional and a significantly weaker songwriter (which doesn't matter at all in Nashville, but gave him a disadvantage here. Pity that TNN is toast...Matt really should have his own show. Man he is fun. Hope he finds a spot too. I think the talent of these final three (and others before them) are SO much higher than the AI group it's amazing. Last, though I personally preferred George to Brad, one thing I loved is that Brad has worked Nashville for years and pitched and been turned down over and over and OVER. How awesome that America choose him....to heck w/the execs!!!!

I just watched the show... I feel riped off! I LOVED George Canyon. He was incredible! Brad in my opinion as good/cute as he is couldn't hold his own when he was on stage unless he had an instrument. He sure didn't do well when singing with the guest stars.He does write good songs. Oh well... just my opinion. I have listened to Country music since day 1 and I am a BIG fan. I agree with Lurk's post too

MsMoonie, tell Cowboy I went with his picks since they were mine too and we both did lousy!! But I love this show. I wish they did it more often than once a year.

I loved Brad from day one, he has a different sound and it will be easy to identify him on the radio. I think he could sing country or pop and be successful now. I like George also, but his voice is very similar to one of the guys of Montgomery/Gentry and to ? (name slipped my mind, he sings Chrome and was on the show duet night). I think he will do well and am very disappointed that he did not have the opportunity to be say his piece and hear a comment from the judges about his future!! Matt got to do this, why not George? I see a bright future for Brad and George and wish they could bring back HeeHaw and let Matt be a cohost!!
