CMT is doing a new series, Gone Country where celebrities set out to be the next country star judged by "Big & Rich." The celebs that are set to do the show are Carnie Wilson, Bobby Brown, Dee Snider, Diana DeGarmo, Julio Iglesias Jr., Maureen McCormick and Sisqo.
They will all live in a mansion in Nashville as they get their "country on." They will all live, breathe, and eat country as they go through the elimination process. At the end, one winner will be selected to release and record a country song.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, doesn't any singer that doesn't do well in their own genre go to the country charts for a break-out hit? Remember Kid Rock? He was hip-hop-ish/rock and then put "Picture" with Sheryl Crow and was a huge star across the board. Annnndd then, went on to bitch slap Tommy Lee at the VMAs.
My predictions:
Bobby Brown: Crack is Whack could be his break-out hit
Dee Snider: Twisted who?
Diana DeGarmo: Didn't win Idol, won't win Gone Country
Julio Iglesias Jr.: We need a Latino country star. Telenovellas are long versions of country songs anyway, fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.
Maureen McCormick: Next she'll tell people that her and Eve Plum used to play country music after their lesbian affairs.
Sisqo: Thong in Acoustic, not so bad.
My vote: Julio.
