BballKates:
Anyone hear what kind of ratings it got?
TexasLady:
Apparently it got modest ratings:

'Nashville Star' has modest debut
"Writing the daily ratings is often like being a doctor who's burdened with telling patients the bad news: "I'm sorry, ABC. The test results came back on 'Cashmere Mafia.' It’s not what we hoped."
And Monday night, unfortunately, resulted in a waiting room full of hard-luck cases.
The two-hour "Nashville Star" (6.6 million viewers, 2.2 adults 18-49 rating and a 6 share) premiere ratings were absolutely fantastic for USA Network ... except the show is no longer on USA Network. The reality competition made its NBC debut and was the network's lowest-rated reality premiere in three years. Compared to last season's premiere on USA, however, "Nashville" was up 214%. (A critic's take: "Star" looked brighter on NBC). Lead-in "American Gladiators" was on par (5.6 million, 1.9/6), and the network placed third for the night."

It probably would help if the network promoted it a little. ;)

I'm surprised it did better than the Mole. But seriously they picked some crappy talent. No one sticks out at all. Also I hated that two of the singers did non-country songs. Also that kid who is 19 and looks like a model I have a feeling is going to go too far based on his looks. He is so a pop singer and should not be in this competition. I'm personally cheering for the little lady from MN. I'm from there originally and I have never heard of Lancaster so we looked it up and it is practically in Canada.
But I do have to give the producers credit for including groups and making it like the X-Factor with each judge mentoring a group. I think that idea shows promise.

Wow can I just say horrendous. I mean the show is doing a huge disservice by not having the contestants sing country songs. Give me a break! There is a huge country audience out there that is being alienated. I hated pretty much everyone expect for Shawn, Navy boy and Ashlee.
This is not Idol and pretty boy needs to go he is terrible, does he even know any country songs? And the little girls bands should be singing at birthday parties and bar mitzvahs.
