Melissa Lawson performed her new single “What If It All Goes Right”

I heard Melissa Lawson and John Rich on the radio today. It was interesting, because the DJ just wanted to mostly talk to John Rich and John would just turn everything back to Melissa Lawson. John Rich did say he’s working now to produce a Nashville Star record. That could be interesting. I’m sure that the most important song will be Melissa Lawson’s new single “What If It All Goes Right”

Here’s a link to download “What If It All Goes Right” on iTunes.

Best of luck Melissa Lawson on all you do.

This is a little bit personal for me, because Melissa Lawson is from Arlington, TX which I still consider a major part of me since I lived there for 7 years during my growing up years. No, I don’t think I knew Melissa Lawson, but that doesn’t change anything.

It also doesn’t change how wonderful of a singer Melissa Lawson is. She has an amazingly powerful voice that just kicks BUTT!! I’d say it rivals who I consider to sing the largest most powerful voice in country music, Martina McBride. Wouldn’t it be cool if they had a powerful voice show down.

All in all, there’s no doubt that Melissa Lawson deserved it and will make a great star. Gabe Garcia will probably do good things also. I bet Shawn Mayer will end up being a song writer in Nashville. She definitely had the best song writing of any. Should be fun to watch.

I was going to post a link to be able to purchase Melissa Lawson’s new single that she sung at the end of the show, but iTunes doesn’t seem to have it up yet. Once they have it up, I’ll post the song here. What do you bet we hear Melissa Lawson on the radio tomorrow too.

Also, make sure you go and check Melissa, Gabe and Shawn on the Nashville Star tour.

Ok, so I’m a week behind on the Nashville Star music. Oh well, I’ll make up for it now. Here’s the list of Nashville Star music the week that Coffey was sent home.

Coffey Anderson performed:
“Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd

“It’s My Life” by Bon Jovi

Gabe Garcia performed:
“Living In Fast Forward” by Kenny Chesney

- Original Music Video
“It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” by Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffett

- Original Music Video

Shawn Mayer performed:
“The Dance” by Garth Brooks

“Here For The Party” by Gretchen Wilson

Melissa Lawson performed:
“Jesus Take The Wheel” by Carrie Underwood

“Hit Me With Your Best Shot” by Pat Benatar

When I was searching iTunes for Coffey’s original song, I found an album that looks like it’s Coffey’s album called “The Inspiration Vol. 1.” Here’s a link to all of Coffey’s songs on iTunes. A ton of religious music that makes me wonder if it is Coffey from Nashville Star. Especially since I couldn’t find Southern Man for Coffey on iTunes. I bet Nashville Star made him take it down.

All Ye

Wait On the Lord

Father I Need You

Holy Is the Lamb

Call On the Name

All Ye (Remix)

Never Turn Back

All I Need

The Frog Song (kids)

My Hearts Desire

Glory Glory

Original Music night on Nashville Star and here’s the list of songs they sang. Some really interesting stuff. I’ve been waiting for original music night on Nashville Star for a while.

In my continuing effort to list all of the music from Nashville Star, here’s the list of music from last night’s Nashville Star. I pretty much LOVE all the country music on this list, but I have to admit that this may be the first show where I love the original versions of all these songs better than the Nashville Star versions. Should be great to hear the Nashville Star original songs next week.

An interesting choice for a guest performance, but they were better than the strippers that were guest performers on So You Think You Can Dance. It was interesting that Danity Kane also came through a reality TV show, so maybe Nashville Star is trying to get some cross over appeal.

This week’s Nashville Star music isn’t the usual country route since it was Nashville Star Pop goes Country for the theme. Regardless, here’s the original music.

Guest performer: Danity Kane - “Damaged”

COFFEY performed: “Umbrella” by Rihanna
