Well, I've chosen to start with this. Country Weekly has a new poll "Who should be the next member of the Grand Ole Opry"? Here are the choices (I hope you're sitting down):
1. Jason Aldean
2. Joe Nichols
3. Kelly Pickler
Ummm. First of all, let me state that I love love love Joe Nichols. Jennifer Jo and I even hung out with him at a "party" in LA one night and he was a super nice guy. If he were voted in, I'd be alright with it. His voice reflects all that I love about the pioneers and forefathers of this genre that I adore so much. And sure, his songs may be a bit goofy and quirky but I love 'em.
BUT JASON ALDEAN AND KELLY PICKLER?!?!
I used to be all about Jason Aldean back when he first came out. Simply because he is from Macon, GA - about an hour away from my home town of Atlanta. BUT every SINGLE song sounds the SAME! His voice is monotone and I just don't get the gimmick. And country?! I think NOT!
And Kelly Pickler??? She's sweet. Sure. But is she Opry material? I don't think so. At least not yet. Personally, I think she's got potential but a LOT of ground to cover.
It's just as if they'll let anyone in these days! I don't get it!
