15 minutes ago
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A dozen aspiring country music stars have been chosen for a new reality television show in which the contestants live together while they compete for a recording contract.
"Nashville Star," a country music version of "American Idol" with elements of "Big Brother," premieres at 9 p.m. EST March 8 on cable's USA Network.
Finalists were selected from more than 8,000 who competed in 48 talent contests nationwide and five semifinal regional rounds.
The show will be hosted by Nancy O'Dell of "Access Hollywood." The judges are recording artist Charlie Robison (news), country music journalist Robert K. Oermann and Sony Music marketing consultant Tracy Gershon.
The winner will receive a recording contract with Sony Music Nashville, with a disc to be produced by country singer Clint Black (news).
Much of the show will be filmed in a Nashville house where all 12 finalists will live during the contest. Cameras will record the interaction between them over the nine-week series.
The finalists range in age from 19 to 41. Many are singers and songwriters, but others work as a teacher, a cowboy, a farmer and an emergency dispatch operator.
