Either country music is in its prime, or viewers weren’t interested in a Housewives repeat. Whatever the reason, the ACMAs were hot last night. Yesterday’s broadcast had its best demos since 2005 and its largest audience in 11 years.

Jessica Simpsons’ Live Country Performance on The View

Jessica SimpsonWhen I first heard Jessica Simpson’s newest single back in May, I said the singer should probably stick with country music. (When compared to the fluff she had been attempting before, it really seems to be the style best suited for her.)

Now after seeing her perform ‘Come On Over’ live on (you can watch that clip after the jump), I would like to offer Simpson just one more piece of advice: don’t ever let people see you sing.

One of the many things that has always bothered me about Jessica - aside from her love of the Dallas Cowboys - is her freaky facial distortions. Sadly, I’ve discovered her painful expressions (and general inability to move) will accompany her regardless of the genre she’s working in.

WTF?: Danity Kane on Nashville Star

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:

When the words ‘pop goes country’ are uttered, images of Kristy Lee Cook singing just about anything on run through my mind.

So imagine my confusion when I saw this clip of Danity Kane performing on . Couldn’t they have at least attempted to change up their song a bit? Wasn’t that the whole theme of last night’s competition? Were the girls only comfortable sticking to something they’ve practiced a thousand times over on Making the Band? But really - why was a group formed by Diddy on a show called Nashville Star to begin with?

Tonight’s finales: The Hills, Medium, Samantha Who?, The Bachelor

FOX’s ‘Nashville’ Moved Off Schedule

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX

NashvilleWell—we can’t exactly call it a cancellation at this point….so let’s just call it a slow death.

FOX’s new series, , is temporarily being set aside after just two airings.  The reality show (and I use ‘reality’ to describe this show like I would use it to describe Laguna Beach) followed a group of music industry hopefuls trying to make it big in Nashville.  Unfortunately, viewers weren’t following them. 

Refusing to admit they have the first fall flame-out, the network is simply putting the show on hold until ‘sometime’ in October.  Re-runs of will temporarily fill its time slot until two-hour episodes of take over on October 19th.

Ironically, some critics believe K-Ville may be the first show canceled this year.  If that’s the case—what will backup Nashville then?
