Are you saying she won? I thought the finale was tonight? Did I miss it or did you spoil it?

[b]SHEILA WON "GONE COUNTRY"!!!!!
Wow - that was an amazing ride! Yep, she won!

The Mods seriously need to post this announcement as a sticky...And, as she said, this is like the beginning of the second part of her career.

After the show aired, CMT premiered her new COUNTRY video: "Glorious Train."
(And she looked friggin' fabulous folks!)

Here is the performance of the song she did in competition:

Congrats to Sheila E!!!! I caught an episode of "Gone Country" and I was impressed with Sheila and how committed she was to doing this and I'm so glad she won. I wish her nothing but the best with this. Maybe her and Prince can do a Country duet!

just watched the video and a new interview (missed the show) and she is looking hot again. i thought she was starting to show her age the last few years, but now looks great again. now if she could just get that rat looking thing to fix himself up...

I can so see/hear The Glamorous Life in country

I only watched the video twice, and then that dang song was stuck in my head all night.

I suppose that's a good thing. For Sheila, at least.

sheila is bee uuu ttiiii fullll still.

I have always loved Sheila! She's so talented and so beautiful (from the inside out). I am always pleased to learn that she is out there still doing her thing and doing it well.

For those who don't know, Shelia launched her twitter account yesterday.

This appears to be legit, because I found out about it from Questlove's twitter.

Sheila E. Sets Her Sights on a Glamorous Country Life

Sheila E. may have sung about the glamorous life back in the day, but the songstress is now forging a new path for herself with a foray into country music.



People.com reports that Sheila, who emerged as the winner of CMT’s Gone Country reality show last Sunday (March 8), is expanding her 15 minutes in the country spotlight after singing her song, “Glorious Train.” The singer is currently working on her forthcoming country music album.



“I want to take an advantage of this opportunity and I would love to do a country record,” said Sheila, who mentioned Dolly Parton, Faith Hill and Taylor Swift as her favorite country artists.



As for the sound of her album, the vocalist stated the project would be influenced by her love of contemporary gospel and her background in pop music.



“I already contacted all of the writers who appeared on the show and I'm going back to Nashville to do a writing session at the end of March to come up with material.”



Needless to say, it may take fans a minute to adjust to Sheila’s new musical direction. So what did her mentor, Prince, make of his protégés switch from pop and R&B to country?



“He asked me why in the heck would I do this show,” Sheila told People, as she cited the chance to work with famed Nashville songwriters as the reason behind doing Gone Country. “So he said, ‘Okay, well, mama knows best!’”


I can’t hate on artistic growth. Maybe Prince can do a country duet with Sheila if things are successful. Now that would be interesting to hear.

YOUR TURN PRINCE. COME ON AND GO COUNTREEEE!!!!!

Love Sheila, and love Gone Country- which is strange considering I am not a country music fan at all (usually hate it). Glad she won!

Has anyone been able to catch the video on one of the country music channels? I saw it & like it a lot... got to actually hear the entire song. It's very catchy... as doesnt have too much of a country flare. Just solid songwriting.
Glad my boyfriend told me about the video and actually told me when it came on one day, as I would never be on a country channel. Sure do love that guy for always thinking bout me!

Sorry, just realized some did see video- was texting and trying to read here at same time... guess better stick to one thing at a time in my middle age
