This Friday is the hour long Gone Country finale! I actually have been watching this show and I can honestly say that it is terrible. There is hardly anything to with music on this show. The finale is going to be all of the stars with the songs they have written performed in front of an audience. I hope Carnie wins. One thing I know about country music is that if the song isn't honky tonk ridiculous or vocal acrobatics aren't involved they aren't interested. So we shall see.

I've been watching every episode as well and must say I've been disappointed. First of all, the show should be an hour, not 30 minutes. More like 20 minutes after all the damn commercials. And yes, there should be much more emphasis on the music aspect of the show! Enough shoveling horse shit and seeing who can burp the loudest already! Get down to the damn music and creativity! I am a country music fan and just think it's ridiculous to have spent this much time on BS and the show is over already. We've barely seen anything to do with their songwriting process or recording. Very disappointing.

Yes, it's been entertaining to watch....I just wish there was more of it to see and more focus on the music.

Here's hoping Carnie wins! And if not....maybe she'll still pursue country music! I think the potential is there....and even more so with Wendy and her as a duo in country music.

Author: Juli [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:55:11 03/08/08 Sat Hopefully that doesn't stop her from trying out the country scene. That might be the only way that we can get all original songs from her, since the lullabye and Christmas albums didn't have that many originals. >I was very disappointed.

I am so disappointed I'm sick! Carnie's song is awesome and she sang so well! I thought Maureen had a great song too....but Julio? He just sounds like his brother Enrique....it's latin pop, not country. He not once was portrayed as having any passion for pursuing this opportunity if given to him. Maybe that was all the editing but it still didn't seem he really was in this to win it.

I sure hope that John Rich will consider cutting Carnie's song as a single...with her as the performer, not someone else! I truly think Carnie could cross over well to country. It's just a damn shame she didn't win.

You can go to cmt.com to see her entire performance. It's really good, so check it out! :)

This is what I think: This show was a joke from the beginning. Of COURSE it would end as a joke. I read a lot of message boards where most people thought Carnie should have won. I also read message boards where people thought BOBBY BROWN should have won. Which I don't understand. It makes me think that the show's producers including John
(I think I am pimp because I kill things like a total hillbilly and wear them)Rich and most people who watch it,(present company and anyone who wanted Carnie to win excluded)have no sense in their heads. I just chalk it up to that. I am going not going to be watching much reality tv anymore. I only watch it when there is a celebrity I am a fan of is on the show. So thats my story and I am stickin' 2 it. :)

I completly agree. Do you really need to shovel cow shit and ride a quad to understand country music? or be a country music star to be able to support things like Children's Hospital?
