Does anyone know if Nashville Star which begins next tuesday Mar 14 on USA channel, will be shown in Canada this year??

The website (click on the name above) has this to say:

"Season Four of Nashville Star premieres Tuesday, March 14 at 10/9C with new hosts Wynonna Judd and Cowboy Troy.

Each of the 10 finalists will get their first shot on stage, where they'll be evaluated by a panel that includes guest judges Big & Rich. Look out for a special performance by the duo, and, of course, be sure to vote for your favorite contestant at the conclusion of the first show! "


ETA: oops I just found the answer to my own question when I remembered that it was CMT that carried it. THIS LINK at CMT says that Nashville Star returns to Canadian TV on CMT LIVE on Tuesdays at 10PM (EEEK opposite Amazing Race and Boston Legal) and repeated thursday at 9 and sunday at 8!!!

Just found out that a local guy is on Nashville Star. He's not necessarily local to my area, but I believe he has relatives here. He has sung in the area, mainly what I remember is a concert he did to raise money for my mom's non profit organization. Anywho, I have a signed CD and picture of Chris Young already. I may have to start watching just to see how he does! :-)

Nashville Star gets a makeover to look more like American Idol, Dancing with the Stars

Nashville Star will be getting a makeover for its fourth season, and the resulting show will look more like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.

In addition to new hosts who will be “an unpredictable mix,” the show will be dropping the “feel-good projects or fundraisers or home visits” and the “dash of drama from the contestants’ house thrown in,” according to The Tennessean. Instead, we’ll see segments that “follow a contestant through each week’s song choice and any struggles that come up with pitch or tone or high notes or judges’ feedback from the prior show.”

Executive producer H.T. Owens says, “We want to deal directly with what we’re going to see as part of the contestant’s performance. … It’s not going to be Real World in Nashville. The focus on this year’s show is watching these incredibly talented amateurs perform week after week.”

did anyone watch? I had it on tape and when I watched the tape today, it stopped just after Shy sang.Obviously it ran way long. Who was eliminated??

I loved the girl who said she was heavy, the guy with the straw hat and melissa best i think.

yes - the schedule is at the USA website. According to that site, the USA will show repeats Saturday at 10PM and Tuesday at 12;30PM on the USA network.

In Canada, it will be repeated on CMT on Friday at 8PM

I watched. These are some talented people. I don't particularly care for country music so some of the performers that they heaped praise on, I didn't think were all that. The girl named Jewels was eliminated last night, the judges said she was too manic. I liked the girl they said wasn't country enough, Chris Young and one other guy that I don't remember his name.

Thanks, Lady. I normally don't listen to country either but I usually find these people more talented than AI - at least to my ears (Although AI is pretty good this year!)

I finally got to watch. It was very good! These people are amazing. One comment by Wynona left me with a look of bewilderment. She told the heavier female contestant something like "You're not just a number on a scale". I don't know, I just found it rather an odd and out of place comment.

Naja, either during the pre interview or the critique (i forget which) the subject of the contestants weight was brought up ( i think the contestant called herself "the fat one"). Wy was responding to that as Wy has been very ,very public about her own fight with her weight. in fact, she just returned from a rehab centre where she was treated for her FOOD addiction. ( sigh i wish I could afford rehab treatment for my food addiction )

ahhhh, Thanks Jan. I think I missed that. Then it doesn't sound so odd. But out of the blue like I had thought, that sounded odd to me.

Did anybody watch last night? I am really starting to like Chris Young and Nicole Jamrose.

and...does anybody here watch "My Name is Earl"? If any two people look alike, Kristen McNamara and the woman who plays Earl's ex wife do. Kristen to me just looks like a slightly heavier version of Earl's ex. And Kristen's wackiness even adds to the similarity for me.

I've watched the first two shows. The talent is good. I can't say that any one is standing too far out in front for me right now, but if I had to pick right now, I'd prob choose Chris Young. The show format really bugged me last night - it was soooo long, way too much inane chatter. I really don't like the judging - The one guy is too nice, the woman is too, eeeewwww - creepy, and the Cable Guy??? Puh-leeeze!! What the heck was he doing on there as a judge?? Even Wynona is way to chatty. Just show the profiles and let them sing!
I actually do like the one-show format where they perform and are eliminated (from the prior week's vote) on one show. AI could learn from that!

It is better for the viewers, the format, but how horrible for the singer who has to prepare all week and then is eliminated without singing a note after waiting through all the other performances..

where I live, if you miss the Tues. live show, you can catch it the following Sat. morning @ 10.00 cst on USA. About Kenny Rodgers - he don't even look like K.R. anymore. Why oh why do these famous folks mess with their looks like they do. Gosh, I would rather see them age & look normal instead of how most of them look. I am 48 & will never alter my face with surgery or botox or any of that crap - just give me my oil of olay that I've used since my early 20's & I'll stay younger looking the natural way. I would however do some lipo if I had $$ burning a hole in my pocket.

It was great to see Naomi Judd last night! I wish she was on the judges panel every week - her comments were reality-based and helpful to the contestants. Matt was my favorite last night - I love his voice and really love to watch him perform. Still like Chris, also.

The blond girl (sorry - can't remember her name...) has the better voice of the two remaining females. There is something about her eyes that I find very distracting - like they sort of pop (like they are too-wide open??) and almost cross when she sings. Very wierd. But I like her and will try not to obsess about the eyes.

.........................yes, it was Kristen, sorry ...

Nicole and Jared didn't do well on their original songs this week.

I was shocked that Jared is still around. He is not a strong singer like the rest. Maybe this week he will be gone.

Loved Chris Young's song and feel like he has this in the bag. You could definitely hear that song on the radio today.

And I must say that Anastasia is looking fabulous this year.

I thought all the songs other than Chris's were awful! Chris really shined this week - he sounded less like a clone of other singers and was more of an original. The audience really loved him, too.

I love, love, love Chris Young. I would buy that song today if I could. His was the ONLY original song that shone and if he doesn't win this thing, it will be a shame.

I think we'll be seeing him some more, regardless of the outcome, though. :-)

And it is hard to believe he is so young to have such a beautiful voice and stage presence.

Patti LaBelle is guest judge and looks fabulous! Matt Mason is first up. Wynona just loves him. He sings Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash. Patti thinks he is cute but he didn't move her.

Crystal Gayle is in the audience.

Casey Rivers is next singing Goodbye Time by Conway Twitty. Patti says you got me and you are a bad bad boy (in a good way). Everyone has chill bumps. Wynona thinks it is his best so far. Next week he is going to do a gospel song - How Great Thou Art. Ooh, I can't wait to hear that.
