Each celebrity will again be paired with two of Nashville’s finest songwriters with whom they write a country single. In addition to meeting with songwriters, the cast will compete in challenges that test them musically and physically to adapt to a life in country music, both on and off the stage.

Must see TV. I used to work with Justin before AI and I will watch to see how bad he does. He's an A-hole and his breath is horrible. I would love to see people's reactions to that dragon breath. [ZUNECARD]MikeChristopher[/ZUNECARD] | |
