Nashville Star – Episode 3 – Recap

By On 06/23/2008 · 65 Comments · In Uncategorized

  

Justin Gaston is eliminated tonight.

The fabulous country act, Danity Kane, is appearing on tonight’s Nashville Star!

Ok, I know who Danity Kane is–some crappy girl group from a reality TV show. And I know they aren’t country. Hardly. And I think it’s totally retarded that they’re tonight’s guest performers. NBC couldn’t find a country act to fill a a prime-time guest spot? Right.There’s got to be some kind of synergy or connection going on here–I’m just too lazy to dig it up.

ETA: OK, it’s Pop night tonight, but still…

Those of you still watching this show…I’ll post up some videos later with a couple of brief words about each act. Enjoy?

Live Recap:

The finalists are singing Madonna’s “Like A Prayer”. Hoe down! More like trainwreck… OMG I can’t wait to get the video up. That was truly craptastic! Worst. Group Sing. Ever. – VIDEO

Tommy Stanley and Gabe Garcia are pulled out of the line at the top of the show. Tommy Stanley is in the Bottom 2 and Gabe Garcia is safe. Gabe is performing first.

Billy Ray Cyrus sucks reading the teleprompter. Just sayin’

More Recap and Videos After the JUMP…

Gabe Garcia – “Living La Vida Loca” by Ricky Martin – Jewel flies the boys to LA where she is appearing on the Leno show. She’s mentoring them in between hair and makeup. Oook. Gabe’s performance is a little strange, it got off to a rocky start, but not bad. The girls dancing around him were kind of bizarre. Jeff says, “You just blew my mind.” John says, “good job”. Jewel says he needs to loosen up more, but he worked it out. – VIDEO

After the break, we find out who joins Tommy Stanley in the Bottom 2

Pearl Heart – “Love Shack” by the B52s – Jeff tries to get the lead singer to step out, but she’s having a hard time. Their harmonies are freaking me out a little. The lead singer looks really awkward. I’m not digging this B52s by way of Petticoat Junction deal. John said the girls were looking at each other, rather than working the audience, but everything else was great. Jewel advises the lead singer to relax and just be herself. Jeff says–great job, but they still need to step it up. – VIDEO

Alyson Gilbert – “I Think We’re Alone Now” by Tiffany – Tommy James and the Shondells did this song first in the 60′s. Alyson and John try different tempos, they finally decide on something mid-tempo. I like the arrangement. Alyson’s performance is a bit stilted–total deer in the headlights. Vocally she has her moments, but it’s just a’ight. Jewel says it’s pitchy and that she looks awkward in her high heels. Jeff says there is “a little too much pop in my country.” John says, “You didn’t rock it” and that she made it a mediocre vanilla song. So, the judges pretty much hate her. – VIDEO

Ashlee Hewitt – “You Drive Me Crazy” by Britney Spears – Ashlee plans to “rock hard” with Britney Spears. Good luck with that! Ba-abay! Her vocal affectations kinda bug me. Te-ell me-ay. Hm. It’s a little distracting. Nevertheless, she adds just enough country twang to the song to make it believable. Jewel says she did a great job. Jeff tells her that she’s got the goods. John says she’s getting better consistently every week. “It was country,” says Jewel. – VIDEO

Coffey – “Umbrella” by Rihanna – Coffey dedicates the song to his daughter. Way to pimp for votes! He shouts out his daughter’s name for good measure. This is so horrible, though, I don’t think it would matter if he cured cancer. The goat vibrato is in full voice. Yikes. Ok, he just did some weird sh*t in the middle of the song, like he was horking up a bone. Holy crap, that is just freaking weird. Jeff says, “If this is the real Coffey, I’m not on the train.” John likes it. He says, “You are a country/soul singer.” Jewel warns him against gimmicks and chastises him for talking at the end of every phrase. – VIDEO

Laura and Sophie – “PYT” by Michael Jackson – Jeff picked the song for the girls, and their reaction at first is, WTF? They like it after he performs a little for them. Ohhh. The girls have been arguing! BITCH FIGHT! They’re wearing frilly little prom dresses. These girls have nice voices, but it’s still so much High School Talent night. The turgid arrangement isn’t helping. Thanks Jeff! These kids need a lot of work. John says it was really good. Hm. Jewel thought the arrangement was amazing. Hm. She says, “You guys look like Madonna cupcakes…you sang good.” Jeff says, “I’m so proud of you, I’m blown away.” – VIDEO

Next, the country stylings of Danity Kane! Erm. Bathroom break! – VIDEO

Shawn Mayer – “Bye Bye Bye” by ‘N Sync – John says it’s a “ballsy” choice. None of these performers seem comfortable on stage. Shawn should have canned the choreographed dancing and just concentrated on her vocals. This performance is just all over the place. Jewel feels that she made the song country. She likes it. Jeff doesn’t find the performance “very country” and thinks it was too ambitious. He wants to see her vulnerable. John doesn’t think her performance was awesome, but he likes that she’s not afraid to take chances. – VIDEO

Melissa Lawson and Justin Gaston are vying for the second spot in the Bottom 2. What a set up. The Hottie and the Nottie. Awesome.

Justin Gaston is in the Bottom 2! Whoo hoo!

Melissa Lawson – “True Colors” by Cyndi Lauper – Finally a song that John likes! He’s been hatin’ on the contestant’s choices all night. There’s not much country about this performance (wonder if she’ll be called on it), but Melissa blows everyone else in this competition away. It’s ridiculous, actually. Jewel thinks she’s a great country singer. Jeff asks her if she lost weight. She’s lost 67 lbs. He says she’s a 10. John says he likes to work with great artists, and he thinks Melissa is a true artist. Nope, she’s not going to get called out on it. – VIDEO

Justin Gaston – “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper – “Jason needs help with his voice,” says Jewel. Ya think? Jewel’s eyes pop out of her head when she hears his song choice. This could be a lot worse. Well, he just hit a rank note. I think the aim is to keep things within his 5 note range as much as possible. He’s really stiff. Pretty awful. John says that was the best he’s heard him so far. That’s not saying much. Jeff likes it too. I guess we are grading on a curve. Jewel compliments him. She says she can tell he’s been working very very hard. I was waiting for her to put a star on his head. – VIDEO

Tommy Stanley – “Maniac” by Michael Sembello – These song choices are bizarre. None of these contestants have the chops or the creativity to step this far out of their boxes. I can’t even understand what Tommy is singing, he’s garbling up the words. He’s got the dancing girls behind him. I’m a little embarrassed for him. He hits a big glory note. Sort of. Wow. Bad. Jeff says that it “didn’t get his country bone going.” TMI! John agrees that it’s not country enough. More “It wasn’t country” from Jewel. That he wasn’t country isn’t the problem. How about: crappy song, crappily arranged and crappily sung. – VIDEO

Justin Gaston is sent home. Bye Bye eye candy! Parting words from the judges: You suck as a country singer. Try acting. – VIDEO

    I’m watching. Sigh.

    ETA: OMG, their group song is “Like a Prayer.” Suckage abounds.

  • http://www.idolbloglive.com DJSlim

    the group song is honestly awful

  • lili

    That was horrid, how in the hell could that dude Gabe be in the top vote getters? He was horrible.

  • http://myspace.com/saltwatercures pj

    I agree that Gabe wasn’t so good in the group sing (and knew it, lol), but I thought he was one of the best last week.

  • idolbeat

    Poor cutie! I think his time is up.

  • idolbeat

    Justin – the cutie!

  • http://myspace.com/saltwatercures pj

    I’m hoping eye candy stays around for a couple of more weeks, even though he’s been pretty terrible.

  • idolbeat

    what the?

  • idolbeat

    whoa! Gabe!

  • idolbeat

    I’m being a post hog but when Gabe put his baseball hat on backwards, he looked kinda cute! :)

  • beesims

    I can’t think of a single group number from all seven seasons of Idol that was worse than the high school talent show travesty that was “Like a Prayer”. There were some truly rank voices in that mess especially Coffey and Justin.

    MJ, you are going above and beyond the call of duty by actually forcing yourself to not only watch this piece of country fried c–p, but to give recaps as well. Please save your considerable talents and the hours of your life that you will never get back for the marginally better SYTYCD and Canadian Idol. I don’t want to see you burnt out by the time Season 8 rolls around

  • SpenserJ

    The fabulous country act, Danity Kane, is appearing on tonightà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Nashville Star!

    So, I haven’t made it through long enough of this show yet to even identify who you people are talking about. Other than Gabe, I’ve figured out he is. And, I saw a really good looking guy – so I’m assuming that’s Justin? But, when I saw Danity Kane, I thought – damn that’s some big ass hair. So, I assumed that was the connection? They brought these girls on because they’re very reminicent of Tammy Wynette & Dolly circa 1969?

  • spritely

    Oh, Alyson. Oh, my, that was bad.

    There’s too much going on, on this show. 5-ring circus.

  • http://myspace.com/saltwatercures pj

    Spense, DK=pop? Although I like your theory better!

    Justin is the cutie. He’s prolly toast.

  • Ladybug

    Eeks. This show is really pretty bad, no?

    Isn’t Danity Kane the manufactured “Making the Band” girl group who sold a zillion records for some unfathomable reason? Sooo not interested in them.

    Not so hot on these judges either.

  • idolbeat

    MJ, Billy Ray seems nervous – my husband even made a comment about the teleprompter and he’s not even watching the show. I love Billy; I hope he loosens up!

    Billy Ray was on Ryan Seacrest’s show on the top 40 Sunday and he invited Ryan out to his farm to hang out with him and come to Nashville Star. Ryan said I’ll have my people call your people!

  • bigmjfan

    NBC has totally ruined nashville star. I am so mad they did this. All they had to do was take how it was on usa and put some big bucks behind it. there was always alot of good talent when it was on usa network they just never promoted them very well

  • spritely

    The male judges give me a queasy feeling, like they’re just an inch away from hitting on the lady contestants. Ew.

  • idolbeat

    Ashlee is cute! She did a great job!

  • http://myspace.com/girlgeek mj

    I think I’m going to live blog this and turn it into a snark fest. It’s kinda fun!

  • spritely

    I think that other pair of girl singers are wearing 1960′s prom dresses. I giggle every time I see them.

    CofFEY sounds like Tracy Chapman tonight.

  • idolbeat

    I loved Coffey! That was fun!

  • http://myspace.com/saltwatercures pj

    he kinda did, spritely

  • J.S.G.

    Never seen Danity Kane before?? Do they sing better than Taylor Swift?

  • idolbeat

    mj just boiled my coffey!

  • J.S.G.

    Laura (if she is the one on the left) should be the lead singer of Pearl Heart.

  • spritely

    J.S.G., lol, I agree.

    Okay, Rich, we didn’t need to hear you say they turned you on–musically.

  • spritely

    Do they sing better than Taylor Swift?

    That’s a rhetorical question, right?

  • J.S.G.

    Danity Kane – Gestalt Rock – the whole is worse than the sum of its parts.

  • idolbeat

    I confess – I have never heard of Danity Kane. They reminded me of the Pussycat Doll’s performance on SYTYCD.

  • idolbeat

    Cutie pie is probably leaving. Dang, he is just the cutest!

  • http://airincaol.com coco

    I wonder if this show will get canceled before we have a winner.

  • spritely

    Okay, I give up. No more of my life is going to this show. I just gave 3 minutes of it to Danity Kane and I want those minutes back!

  • idolbeat

    I like Shawn! I hope the show doesn’t get canceled – it is so bad it is good!

  • AInoob

    I only caught the show from Coffey on (damn, he was awful, didn’t the audience give him a standing O? WTF?), no one is sounding all that country tonight (not that I found them all that country prior to this episode :lol_wp:) Still, I’ve gotta agree, its fun to turn it into a snark fest, lol

  • idolbeat

    oh cutie pie brought it tonight!

  • J.S.G.

    Well if the theme of the show is pop goes country then Justin was the truest to the theme..so far.

  • AInoob

    Wow, Justin really was the most country tonight. And could the judges insult him any more in their attempt to put Tommy Stanley down? “How do you feel that Justin out-countried you?!”

    Two other issues. Billy Ray SUCKS. OMG, he seems to get worse every week. And what’s up with the backup dancers? They’re distracting and annoying.

  • idolbeat

    I know I’m older but I saw a little Rickey Nelson in Justin’s performance! He sure did improve but I think based on last week’s song, he is leaving us.

  • http://myspace.com/saltwatercures pj

    Justine better stay. He tried real hard. And he’s a cutie. That means more to me than too much else right now.

    ETA: That’s pretty obvious from the recap. They all pretty much suck.

  • http://airincaol.com coco

    Billy Ray seems SLOW

  • idolbeat

    shoot! He was outsung the past two weeks but tonight I would have traded him for most of the others. I didn’t know he could sing lol!

  • AInoob

    Was it me or did Tommy seem like he had a stick up his butt? He was so stiff and awkward in the way he moved on the stage. Awful.

    Actually, the whole show seemed particularly bad tonight.

  • tierbee

    I’m a little perplexed (a lot) by the whole Danity Kane thing… do they think that people don’t really want to watch country so they oughta throw a little… something (?!) in there to draw an audience. Because that kinda scared me…

  • gingerly

    I understand why Danity was bathroom break time…I had to go puke after about a minute of that. And the last two guys, why couldn’t they both go? Put us out of their misery. I gave the first one 30 seconds of singing. Couldn’t get through the last one’s practice even. I think my favorite of the night was Melissa (she’s the one who lost 67 lbs?). She took a song that had lyrics that work amazingly well for country and countrified it. She sings beautifullyl too.

    Overall, though the show really sucks. So yeah I’ll keep watching the videos but you couldn’t make me sit through a commercial to see it.

  • houstonrufus

    I’ve never watched this show before. Although I have become a fan of Miranda Lambert since her most recent album. I stumbled across the show tonight and YIKES! I have become such a vocal critic of idol, but this show is like some sad bar contest minus the one singer who seems like they should have been a star. Or did I miss something? Danity Kane? Billy Ray Cyrus? I think they have a show called “Celebrity Circus” which seems more fitting for the judges and hosts on this show. Let me just say, I have deep respect for country music. I’m from Texas. I literally think I could put together a better show than this with more competent talents. Shameful.

  • skylight1219

    Dang, you’re all ruining my most favorite show ever with all the snarking! I’m going to sit here all by myself and enjoy these wonderful videos until I puke or crap, whichever comes first.

    NBC has totally ruined nashville star.

    I totally agree. I’ve watched every season and loved this show.
    This will be the last season of my beloved Nashville Star, I’m afraid.

  • sue

    “puke or crap” I am LMAO! OMGoodness….I can’t bare to watch the whole show in it’s entirety so bits and pieces here is just fine. The group number was really really bad. WTFWThat? So pretty boy is gone, I can care less who wins. Billy Ray is a terrible host, that was the best they could get?

  • skylight1219

    On a more serious note, I truly enjoyed Melissa Lawson. It was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. The others brought tears to my eyes for other reasons. I do like Ashlee Hewitt, and, Gabe. The rest can go home now.

  • primeminister

    I’m officially done with NS, but I do love the snark here. ;)

  • Duke

    The fabulous country act, Danity Kane, is appearing on tonightà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Nashville Star!

    rofl. I thought the same damn thing.

    Ok, I know who Danity Kane isà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’some crappy girl group from a reality TV show. And I know they arenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t country. Hardly. And I think ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s totally retarded that theyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re tonightà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s guest performers. NBC couldnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t find a country act to fill a a prime-time guest spot? Right.Thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s got to be some kind of synergy or connection going on hereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m just too lazy to dig it up.

    geeze mj, tell us how you really feel.

  • BlankSlate

    I am not a country music fan but I used to enjoy this show when it was a true country show. WHAT THE HECK DID NBC DO? WHO MADE THEM MAD AND LET THEM LEASH their anger on this program?
    Are you going to tell me these are the TOP SINGERS they could pull together? Seriously. This show is an insult and embarrassing. (And now I am watching for the Train Wreck factor. Not nice of me to admit but so be it.)
    Poor MJ for having to WORK for us to recap and post videos. Really. If you want to stop, we won’t be mad. I don’t know how you can do this to your sanity.
    BILLY RAY has to be the most robotic presence I have ever seen. He couldn’t ad lib his way out of a cardboard box without a teleprompter. And he can’t even read THAT without sounding like a machine. Ugh. Where did our Achey Breaky Heart boy go? Damn you Miley! You made our Hunk into Junk!
    JUSTIN is gorgeous. I think he knew he went on the show to get attention for whatever career he really wants to pursue. Is there an underwear company out there looking for a stud? Here’s your man. Va va va voom. HOW he got on the show is not a mystery but singing is NOT his forte.
    I don’t even think that MELISSA is all That. Sorry, girifriend. You can sing but are you an artist? Uh, NO. How did she make that song her own? She doesn’t stand out and would you pay to see her/hear her sing? I rest my case.
    THE PEARL HEART SISTERS: The lead singer IS one of the twins. I think it’s the girl on the RIGHT when looking at the TV screen. She has the most spunk. I bet they bring her up front before the end of the season. This scenario is SO reminding me of DREAM GIRLS.
    The LAURA-SOPHIE duet: Uh, er, so what? Thank you, little girls. Go home and sing for your parents’ friends. They will always think you’re the best. But a place on the charts? No Way, Baby.
    GABE: Take that hat off so people can see you have a face when you sing. And I don’t love you when you sing. Your personality is better during your package. When you hit the stage, I lose interest in you. Yawn.
    COFFEY: You are turning into de-CAF-fey. You need hazelnut and Sweet and Low and a lot of stirring to make me care about you. Tea for me, please. You put clouds in my Coffey.
    Who else? MANIAC by TOMMY STANLEY? What WAS that? Tell me that was a joke. I can’t even comment. Is this the 60s and am I having an LSD flashback?
    Get off my stage!
    I am sorry. I can’t waste one more second thinking about these singers. They all need to pack up and get back to their jobss because they are going to need them.

    Oh and before I forget: The BackUp Go-Go Dancers: Hands down the funniest thing I have ever seen. It’s like Laugh-In and Tony Orlando and Carol Burnett and Sonny and Cher and Jackie Gleason rolled into one long laugh track. The producer who thought DANCERS (barely seen on camera, no less) would add a shot of hotness to this show needs to turn in his working papers and start collecting unemployment. You really do not deserve to be paid one cent for this program.

    But I’ll be back next week for more laughs! And that’s how they make a winning TV show, kids! Make it so bad you have to tune in. VOTE FOR THE WORST must be suffering from panic attacks. How could they pick just ONE frog-voiced contestant to promote? And tell me: does anyone truly waste a phone call to vote for these thingamabobs? Please. Stop. Do not encourage them to sing. Do not lead these people on. I have dreams too but that doesn’t mean I belong on a singing competition. Actually, I’ve heard myself sing and man am I mad I didn’t audition for this on. Hands down I would have been the NASHVILLE STAR of 2008. And I’m from New York where the only thing country about me is that I know Nashville is in Tennessee.

    damn i thought i was watching nashville star not a very poor impersonation of the grand ole’opry lol
    OMG danity kane? yeee haw? lmao diddy has some power to get em on this show lol

    justin finally sounded good and hes gone oh well

    melissa is awesome
    gabe is almost awesome

    ashlee has something but i’m not sure what

    looking forward to songwriting week to see what this bunch can do

    the rest was just ok for me.

  • wfowfowfo

    I’m agreeing with the masses that NBC totally screwed up this show. Billy Ray is a horror on the telepromptor — we loved Cowboy Troy last year, he was terrific.

    Danity Kane? Total suckage. Hubby thought they were some sort of stripper/whore group. We’re going to have to turn this into a snark-fest.

  • SpenserJ

    Danity Kane? Total suckage.

    That pretty much sums it up right there. Who sings Tiffany and Brittany Spears in a singing competition? I can’t believe that Tommy guy sang Maniac. I’ll be laughing for weeks about that.

    Now that they’ve gotten rid of the cute boy, I’m not sure this show has anything left to offer.

  • idolbeat

    Yes, it is bad but I am still going to watch. I’m bummed out that Justin went home after singing the way he did last night. Tommy or Coffey should have left.

    I like Shawn and Ashlee. I’m officially over the men with the departure of Justin.
    I will watch next week. Please Billy, loosen up. I love ya!

  • Ladybug

    Danity Kane: Hubby thought they were some sort of stripper/whore group.

    Well………uhhh……..yeah?.

    I completely agree with those who watched it on USA saying it was far better. It was. Much simpler (with better singers) and far better hosts and judges.

    The whole damn show has been whored up and turned into a hot mess.

    Most definitely snark-worthy.

  • http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=23138188 catielyn

    Billy Ray’s hideous hair style and ridiculous reading of the teleprompter reminds me of the scarecrow in the wizard of oz. He’s too old to be trying to be that young. He’s embarassing himself.

    This show’s talent reaks. I don’t know how those cupcake girls have lasted so long. The only two who can sing even a bit are Gabe and Melissa but neither strike me as Country singers.

    Ashlee is a beautiful girl and if she tries to channel some Taylor Swift she may do okay but with her folksy choices, she’s losing my interest.

  • Joanna

    Ok…so I don’t watch this show because I think it’s a cheap knock off of American Idol, and since AI has been a great launching pad for several country singers, I don’t really think NS is necessary. Having said that, I had to check out what MJ called the worst group number ever. The group part wasn’t so bad, mostly since the choir came in and covered some of the bad singing by the contestants, but the solo parts of that number were truly awful. Other than pretty much the girl who started it off, what the heck? They couldn’t find 10 or 12 people who could carry a tune? In the whole country? Seriously? I think it’s been said before, but most of these people wouldn’t make it through the 1st round of judging on AI. I suddenly find myself wanting to hear KLC sing “God Bless the USA”….and that’s saying something.

  • http://kmantoniva.blogspot.com/ KristiVA

    Great recap! I laughed!! I am not watching anymore either. They must have 4 viewers left…if that many.

  • BlankSlate

    Could it be that =we= are the viewers?!
    Do you see a star on that show? Feh! Is Nashville that desperate that it needs these no-talent duds?!

  • kathrynTX

    Oh. My. Gosh. I’ve watched most seasons of Nashville Star. The best and most successful artist to come out of this currently HORRID talent contest is Miranda Lambert – and she was THIRD on the FIRST season! I saw her on original song night and said YOU ARE FABULOUS, GIRL! You are goin’ places. ANYWAY, I pretty much agree with all the other comments here. GEEZ. This was the best talent they could find? And I woulda thunk Billy Ray would be MUCH more comfortable onstage as a host than THIS. And WHAT is with those idiotic DANCERS? I have not appreciated some of the judges’ comments either, particularly John Rich. The man does know what’s going on and is talented in his own right. But puh-leez, could he not say things that make him sound like a 12 year old boy and would be considered harassment at almost any place of employment? Melissa Lawson is my fave, if I have to pick one. And I do like Gabe’s voice. I have not see ANYTHING close to David Cook or Archie though! May or may not continue to watch. I wasted my time on this show last night. Spent 15 minutes in the middle listening to the radio interview from Ryan’s program with Cook! Good idea.

  • skylight1219

    I think that’s the problem. Most are using AI as a guideline, and, this is NS. Their standards are a little different, I guess. But, the judges have been in the country field, so, we don’t know what they look for. And, by the way, I found John Rich’s myspace. It’s called John D. Richafella. And, it states he produces, are you ready for this? Rock/pop/R&B. What? No country? Thought he said he’d live and die for country music.

  • JNM

    God this season is bad! I’ve been a fan since season one, but I can’t watch this season live. (tivo is my friend)

    I was really looking forward to this season being on NBC. Thanks for less than nothing NBC.

    If only pretty boy could sing. Oh well.

    I want Gabe and Melissa to be in the finals, but I believe one of them will be beaten out by Ashlee. Why Ashlee? Because country just really needs another pretty blonde girl who can sort of sing. That’s why.
