Jan | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 07:02 pm     anyone out there to spoil for me???? I hope, I hope, I hope! |
Jan | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 07:47 pm     any news to tell? |
Snoopsmom | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 07:55 pm     Miranda came in third, John Arthur second, and Buddy won. |
Jan | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 07:58 pm     Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for letting me know Snoop. How was the show? What a great ending. Miranda is only 19 and has lots of time to make it (she'll probably get a deal anyway)...but J.A. and Buddy, at 41, really this is their last chance. I am so happy they won it. |
Snoopsmom | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 08:02 pm     Overall, the show was just okay. Buddy's performances tonight were definitely the strongest. John Arthur sang with Clint Black, Buddy with Trace Adkins, and Miranda with Jo Dee Messina. It was very touching to see Buddy after he won surrounded by his wife, mother and kids. He did sign language to his son earlier in the show, so could be that his son is hearing impaired. All of the other contestants were there, but none of them sang. |
Jan | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 08:04 pm     Thanks again for letting me know. HAve a nice night |
Purrceptive | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 08:07 pm     Actually, all 12 contestants sang as well at one point during the show. |
Meme9 | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 08:15 pm     I loved the part where the judges sang, and then the finalist judged them...LOL Whoa! Who would have thought I'd get the order right. |
Puttergirl | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 08:20 pm     Well, that was a great ending to a great show. Too bad I stunk up the last one or I would have won. But Congratulations to Meme9, the first winner on TVClubhouse of Nashville Star!!!! I came in second. Lets do this again next time and thanks everyone for playing!! It was alot of fun, even for us LOSERS.

Meme9 | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 08:47 pm     Thanks Puttergirl! It was so close, and so much fun. This was a good thread, thanks! |
Kady | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 09:07 pm     Congratulations Meme...you did some good picking. Thankyou Puttergirl for keeping up with the scores...another great job. I loved this show and can't wait for the next one. Buddy is so deserving of the win. I was crying right along with him. |
Marymc | Sunday, May 04, 2003 - 08:45 am     you and me both, kady. such a sweet gentle man. i hope nashville pays attention this time. |
Hummingbird | Sunday, May 04, 2003 - 02:26 pm     How on earth did John Arthur come in second? I just don't get the appeal. His voice sounded really weak when he was paired with Clint Black. He seems like a genuinely nice fellow and the dancing was cute but second out of 8,000? I just can't see where the guy is that good. |
Jan | Sunday, May 04, 2003 - 03:37 pm     Did you notice that buddy seemed to be the natural leader/father in the house? When Brandi got mad/hurt and cried, it was because she thought Buddy was scolding her. and when she was voted off, it was him she turned to for comfort. Hummingbird maybe part of JA's appeal is that he is so different from the rest of the 8000? He is bringing a Mexican flavour to country music and Mexican/Spanish things are very hot right now. Miranda is good but so are many young women her age. JA is different than the rest. ALso,I think JA and Buddy were the two oldest in the competition. Maybe many viewers felt, as I did, that this was their last chance while Miranda will have many years to make it? |
Grannyg | Sunday, May 04, 2003 - 03:59 pm     Jan, I agree with everything you said. I felt the same way. I loved JA's singing. I liked his soft voice. It's so different from what you hear today. I'm terribly glad Buddy won. I thought he deserved it and I love his song he wrote for his daughter. I can't wait for CD's to start coming out. I'll bet that somewhere someone was waiting to sign the one who didn't win. At least I hope so. |
Marymc | Sunday, May 04, 2003 - 08:05 pm     i hope they don't fall into what i call the "hal ketchum syndrome"....amazing singer/songwriter that came out in the 90's. he was older, handsome but not a pretty boy and he never seemed to catch on the way i thought for sure he would. even nashville has accepted the "youth is everything" mantra of hollywood. to me, country music is like the blues. you have to have lived a lil to really write and sing it well. |
Jan | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 03:48 pm     ain't it the truth Mary. I hear it is very hard for even the biggest "older" country stars to get any radio play time I hope you are right Granny...I am pretty hopeful that Miranda and JA and maybe even Brandy will get some work out of this show, but who knows. |
Jan | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 04:13 pm     Looks like Buddy agrees with you too Mary. An interesting article here that quotes him saying much what you did: Buddy's Interview |
Marymc | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 05:54 pm     i hope he gets heard.....he and every other person out there that's over 35 and has a dream. |
Calamity | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 11:46 am     I caught a little of 'Nashville Star' this Sunday. Guess Trio was running a marathon. The guy who won, was he the tall burly guy with the mullet? He was good but I think I liked the Tejano guy a little better. (Well, I thought he said he sometimes played Tejano music but considered himself a country artist.) Marymc: I think Hal Ketchum was having problems with, as they say, "substance abuse issues" a while ago. He has a web site Hal Ketchum. Hope he's doing better. I like lots of "alt-country", "americana", or "rootsy" artists but they're mostly from the 90's and I've never heard them on country radio. 'Course, I never listen to country radio, lol. It's as sad as pop & rock radio is now. |
Jan | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 03:34 pm     I heard an interviewer talking about Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen etc so I guess the age thing is not just for Country. She claimed that Bon Jovi said he can no longer make his sales from radio play (he doesn't get any anymore). He has to make his sales from tours and marketing and that Springsteen and the others are the same way. I guess radio play is reserved for the very young! |
Marymc | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 04:58 pm     so much so that i listen to talk radio now.... |
Grannyg | Friday, May 09, 2003 - 05:58 pm     I got this email today............ After nine exciting weeks, the competition has ended, and the very first NASHVILLE STAR is...Buddy Jewell!

Puttergirl | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 02:02 pm     I hope they do a new one. I'm actually not a country music fan, but I liked this show alot. I think it was done classier than American Idol, plus I liked that they had older contestants and that the contestants had to compose their own songs. That made it about more than just who can sing the best- composing is alot harder!!! |
Grannyg | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 05:21 pm     We have a AAA baseball team in Memphis called the Memphis Redbirds and before their game tomorrow night Buddy Jewel is gonna have a mini concert. I am dying to go but so far no one else seems to care but me!! |
