Here's the problem with "Gone Country"

440-090220Tara2bw_standalone_prod_affiliate_79

I've never watched an episode of "Gone Country," but that doesn't mean I can't gripe about it.  The problem with the show is that it takes these noncountry people and turns them into quasi-country stars and then when the show is over some of the contestants don't want to go away.

Newest "Gone Country"contestant who wants to stay country is Tara Connor.  She posted in her MySpace (via Perez). 

"Both of my shows have come to an end so once again i am a has-been….hahaha j/k but i've been working for the past 4 months on a country album and it coming together beautifully!!!!! I LUH IT!!! seriously it's my therapy!!!! my song-writing partner Mark Renk and i have been writing away with some other very esteemable songwritersand we've written about 15 songs so far and we just keep on truckin'……i feel so lucky!

i used to sing all of the time back in the day but never felt confident enough in myself to reach for my ultimate goal!! i used to watch jason, adam, pat, stuart, luke, mikey, chapman…..even mike and star foley and just envied them so much!!! my dad and brother would play bass and drums and all i could ever do was sing…..until gone country i had never been put in the position to write…and when i did i knew thats where i belonged!!!

i've been recording a lot lately and at the end of april im heading to Nashville to shop record labels…im taking 5 or 6 of my tracks and im praying that they love it as much as everyone else does so far! i'll keep you posted on how it goes im just trying so hard to pay my dues before walking into it!!! if there was any type of success that would make me feel like "i have arrived" this will be it!!! please keep me in your prayers!!!! im tired of RC being overlooked!!! im on a mission from GOD!!! hahaaha"

Hmmm, a mission from God, where have I heard that before?  Didn't Jessica Simpson say something similar?  I guess if I can't say something nice, I shouldn't say nothin' at all.  Uhmm, she has nice hair.

sorry, but I don't get what's so hot about Kellie or Taylor. they are not unpleasant to look at (unless Kellie is going through another high fashion phase) but hot? Will some guy people explain their appeal to me? The beauty queen is hot. But I really don't see how anyone is going to take her seriously at all. At least Jessica Simpson was a singer at some point before she went country.

Just what we need..Another hot blonde who can't sing. If you watched that God awful show you would of seen that she was probably the worst singer on it.But she's hot, (did I say that already?)and believe it or not,she had a likeable personality.Being able to sing anymore isn't a necessity,just be blonde,cute and likeable.Digital enhancement does the rest.

Ask Kellie Pickler and Taylor Swift.
