The guys on Nashville Star this year are awesome

I agree, the talent is awesome and I actually enjoy watching NS much more than AI. All the remaining are great, but Mat Mason and Chris Young are "extra special?

Even though the talent on NS is better, I enjoy AI much, much more than NS. NS as a TV show is horrible. Production values are bad, the "judges" are bad, the hosts (particularly Wynonna) are horrible, the sets are bad. This is the worst season of NS, by far, but probably the best talent.

Mat Mason and Chris Young are "extra special?

I like Chris, Mat's OK, but I'm pulling for my homeboy, Casey Rivers. His "hometown" concert is tomorrow night, and I'm thinking about going. It's only about 30 minutes away.
