USA Network's Nashville Star has been greenlit for a sixth season, but this time to air on NBC, during the summer, where it will be paired with the sophomore run of American Gladiators.... TV GUIDE

How does this compare to Idol?

If you're a country music fan, and maybe if you're not (Like me), the talent is far superior to idol. these contestants seem to be more mature in their music and many of them play instruments and write their own music. last season many of them seemed to be on the bar/honky tonk circuit and were singers/musicians for real, and not students or youngsters doing it as a lark.

I have watched 3 seasons of this show. From the winners of this show, who has gone on to be a country superstar? (Serious question, no sarcastic tone) I am wondering because I don't ever hear about the people who won the seasons I watched.

All I can think of is Buddy Jewell, who had a few hits afterwards. I think that Miranda Lambert has done the best and she was third that year.

Chris Young still has a record deal, which is a miracle anymore in Nashville.

I like this show too - it just doesn't seem to "kick start" a carreer like idol does.

Has the winner from last year put out a record yet? I can't remember her name, but do remember her brother was named Zac. I really liked her sound.

2005 Winner was Angela Hacker. Miranda Lambert has made a name for herself. I remember even seeing her on a Grammy show or something like that. Season 2 runner up George Cannon is/was pretty big here. I know after his stint with NS he was very popular around here. I'm not sure if he's taking a break or what but I haven't heard much new stuff from him lately.

Thanks Spitfire! Miranda's boyfriend is Blake Shelton and he introduced her at the CMA Awards last week.

Yeah Blake said he had to do it right because he didn't want an Crazy Ex-girlfriend coming after him. I LOVE THAT SONG! And I love the fact that Miranda sings what she want's to sing and doesn't worry about being "PC".

The production is laughable/cringeworthy so far. Canned audience? I'm not impressed.

Taylor's microphone sounds messed up to me. Or, is it my TV?

First time I've ever watched it...I thought it was alright and I'm no big country fan...but hey...I'm always up to trying out new things. Think I'll give it a few more weeks. You gotta remember also that country music fans seem to take their music and their stars more seriously than other genres.

Had never seen this before; surprised me when someone was actually eliminated tonight, although I guess from now on it's by viewer voting. Like best Gabe Garcia, the Tex-Mex singer, and the 32-year-old mother of five, Melissa Lawson.

The quality of this show was definitely nowhere near as good as it was on USA network, plus the talent doesn't appear to be of the same caliber as prior years. I did not like the constant changing of camera shots during their performances (who really wants to see the audience?) and Billy Ray Cyrus is awful as a host. Jewell did not impress me as a judge and was much better as a cohost with Cowboy Troy last year. Overall, it has too much of a filmed look and not a live show look. You could definitely tell the contestants were all suffering from nerves and they should have given everyone a freebie this week and let the eliminations begin next week. It just isn't realistic to eliminate two people based on their initial performances.

I agree with letting them have a freebie this week. It seemed ridiculous to let someone go last night. Billy Ray is just not a host. I thought that Jewel was going to kick John Rich's butt when he told her that she got pitchy when she sang too.

I thought last night was going to be the beginning of the auditions process, I never expected anyone to be eliminated. I don't even know who I like best, let alone vote for; a week to see who gets voted off seems awful long. And I don't think Billy Ray should have been a host either, he should be a judge. I'm going to give it more time, but it was like I walked into the middle of the season.

I really like this show. I think the talent is very good, but, as several of you said above, all had a case of first-night nerves, at it is a shame to see them go based on that. My favorites of the nite are: Garcia (Tex-mex singer) Melissa (the last singer) The two girls (not sisters, but 16 and 18-yr-0ld friends) I also like the voices, but not the performances of several others: The military guy, the three sisters, the dark-haired girl who sang Janis Joplin. I would have voted out: The Las Vegas trio of guys (yuck), and the woman who almost was booted. I like the apparent honesty of the judges, but not their internal bickering. The host - whatever - they never have had any great hosts on this show, imho.

I can't find anywhere online that has the first ep, even the clips at NBC haven't been working, but for those lucky people with CMT, it looks like they are reairing episodes and the first one is this Sat. http://www.cmt.com/shows/dyn/nashville_star/series.jhtml

I like this show, so glad it's back. As for Taylor's mic, nah, it wasn't messed up - that's just the way she performs. I love her, but personally don't think she does that great live.
