Country has been done, outstandingly, by Carrie.

Yes, but if Pickle wins, she will diminish Carrie. Country music is a genre that already has plenty of pretty blonde women with voices that are similar. Pickle will occupy the exact same niche as Carrie -- an American Idol winner that Country radio can exploit. Everyone in the industry wants a piece of the AI phenomenon right now.

Is there room for two women who, on the surface, seem like clones of each other? Simon apparently thinks so. Remember back when he dissed Carrie while complimenting Pickle?

A sampling of Country's current crop of blondes:

The Dixie Chicks (I know, I know, but they're here only to make the point about blondes in Country music)

Faith Hill

Lee Ann Womack

LeAnn Rimes

And, of course, Carrie...seen here performing at the CMT Awards this past Monday.

The most unique woman in Country right now both musically and in her physical appearance is Gretchen Wilson.

Wynonna wasn't very accepting of Carrie, will she be more accepting of the sleazebag from Hooker Hollar?

And the best to arrive on the scene recently:

Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland

I agree. I love Gretchen.
