Nashville Star!
Let's just get this out of the way. This is American Idol but with Country music and not Pop. The show first premiered on the USA network for its its first 5 seasons and NBC for its last. Just like its big brother this show traveled all round the US to looking for the next big thing in country music. Unlike American Idol we didnt see the addition, a hollywood type week, or even a top 24. The show for the most part gave us a Top 10-12 Stars were American would vote each week on who moves on each week. Were just like in Idol would win a recording contract.
