Great to see not just one but two New Mexicans in the top 10. Mel, you are simply awesome! I've been watching Nashville Star since the first season and I predict you will finish #1; so far my predictions have come true. You have many fans at the new International Balloon Museum in Albuquerque (http://www.balloonmuseum.com); you should bring your mom and dad and join us at Balloon Fiesta Park on Mother's Day Weekend for the Balloon Museum Air, Wind & Wheels Fair featuring hot air balloons, kites, bikes, and yes -- lots of singing and celebrating.

Count on us to stay tuned!
