The country gal singing Gretchen Wilson’s “Here For The Party” in the latest The Voice promo has been identified!

Her name is Liz Davis and she WON the MTV competitive reality show, P. Diddy’s Starmaker, back in 2009. Here’s a blog that tracked her progress on Starmaker.

Here she is singing Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats.”  Oh. Look. That’s Season 2 Idol alum, Kimberly Caldwell, introducing her!  And a not-yet-a-superstar Lady Gaga on the judges’ panel. Whoa.

At one point, Liz posted on her Facebook that she had signed with a major label. Not sure what happened to her deal.

Thanks for all the heart warming comments. About to sign the dotted line with my new MAJOR LABEL in Nashville this month- it will be known everywhere:) Thanks for being patient and hanging in there. Its been tough- but I NEVER GAVE UP and hard work pays off!!!! We have been working very hard for YOU!!!Be looking for me on Radio Tour shortly and I’m looking forward to sharing my music with the world. xo, Liz

Thanks Windmills

    Never watched this show or even remember it but I guess Diddy wasnt a star maker – Did he even do anything to support her.  She obviously didnt go anywhere except where all the previous contestants go – The Voice, the show about the judges banter and the weird rules.  Oh well.  And Gaga on a judging panel…was this before she had hit singles out?  Any show would die for her now

    From what I’m reading about Liz Davis, she had posted on FB that she was excited to sign with a Nashville label in October 2010 – that post is still up on FB: link

    She also tweeted

    To clear confusion:)…Diddy gave me a start with #Starmaker, and now thanks to him, I am able to resign with a top label in Nashville!!

    That label was likely Big Machine according to this bio for her vocal coach Romeo Johnson

    Liz Davis from Big Machine Records, 

    I guess that all fizzled out.

    Here’s an original song of hers posted on her Reverb Nation page called My Kind Of Cowboy.

    Awww, Gaga’s hair bow!

    Starmaker began airing in August 2009 and the winner was crowned in October. That was after Gaga was pretty big. I think she must have done the show as a favor to Laurie Ann Gibson.

    Meh. She’s really not that good…

  • Max

    A lot more talented that what you’re about to witness on the Flopfactor.

  • jlscott13

    LOL. We’ll see about that ;)

  • SullyD

    Maybe they will pimp this girl and try to create their own Carrie? It’s not gonna work, tho.

    At least she’s pretty.

  • Max

    Get used to seeing more reviews like this http://mankabros.com/blogs/onmedea/2011/11/08/the-x-factor-is-terrible/ on the 14th of September ;)

    She’s pretty, but just an ok country singer and performer. And not much charisma.

    wait…is she Carrie Underwood?

  • Garrett Clayman

    i remember watching her that episode because i used to be a huge GAGA fan, but i remember hearing she won and one critique by rodney was “there is no Big Boy Nashville” label so i think she had trouble finding her place on Diddy’s label

  • jlscott13

    Pshhh. She only wishes she was Carrie Underwood.

  • jlscott13

    It’s obvious that writer hates X-Factor and just adores Idol. They failed to mention the plunging ratings of last season. And what was the point of that article again? ;)

  • Mateja Praznik

     X Factor is the only talent show that is able to produce international stars these days. (It must be true, Louis Walsh says so!)

  • Stavros

    Kimberly, Gaga, Laurie Ann Gibson, AND Idol judge rumored P. Diddy!? This was an Idol/SYTYCD party!

  • lanter

    I am embarrassed to admit that I watched every episode of Starmaker. Liz wasn’t all that great on the show and she had an attitude that I found off-putting. Her “career” going nowhere after winning was not a surprise to me. Lady GaGa was already famous when she did the show, I remember thinking at the time that she must have owed someone a huge favour to appear on such a cheesefest.

    Movin on up =p
