HEADIN' DOWN THE ATLANTA HIGHWAY: After last night's debacle, I doubt we'll be doing much more Nashville Star blogging. The contestants were asked to perform countrified versions of non-country hits like "Living La Vida Loca," "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "Love Shack," and let me make this plain: It. Did. Not. Work. What's worse: the performers are now joined by The Nashville Star Dancers, or whatever they're called -- six young women who cavort about aimlessly and make the whole thing feel like the second coming of the Love Boat Mermaids.

It just feels like they don't trust the audience to come and stay just by having talented country singers doing contemporary country songs. And that's a shame, because the show they're putting on instead is unwatchably, laughably, insultingly bad.
