For the 1st 3 Weeks you were solid country. This week something happend and your're not country anymore. It's sad that there was only one preformer that was Country and that was Casey Rivers. Sadly, I had to vote for him. I so much wanted to vote for you too. The main 2 judges wouldn't know country if it bit them in the bottom. If Hank Williams Sr. or Roy Acuff was performing they would vote them off. It's time we got back to County Music. Kick the trash out, and if that means voting the judges off the island, then let's do that too. Girl, I hope you get to stick around another week, but next time and thereafter stick with Country.....and that means the old time Country Music that made Country Music famous.

Kristen is pretty country....I think they kinda have to pick songs that will appeal to a wide fan base. I believe that next week they are doing "original" songs. Kristen WILL blow the competition away when they hear HER! (In my opinion!)

I don't think Kristen has ever really been Country. You can only play the part for a moment and than you are seen for whom you truly are. With so much talent on that stage I am surprised to see her there and before you think this is impersonal I give from experience. I own a recording studio and have seen talent much better than her and infact right there performing with her she is dead last compared to the others

Went back to voting for Kristen this week. Hopefully she will continue at least to mix her songs and do some more "real country"

She sings demos for Jonathan Cain and Richard Marx so she can't be too bad. Maybe you should take a "Journey" to her website and check it out. www.kristenmcnamara.com
I have a small recording studio in my basement I am currently recording a group called "Barking Dogs". They seem to one member short maybe you could fly in help out.

I didn't Love the song choice,but I thought she pulled it off beautifully! I am SO looking forward to hearing Kristen's originals. I have her Restless CD and LOVE IT! She has so many AWESOME originals to choose from!

Kristen has TONS of talent. Anyone who hasn't heard that yet is strongly encouraged to check out her website www.kristenMcNamara.com

I think she needs to settle in and exude more confidence. She ROCKED on fancy. Last week wasn't my favorite. I thought last night was a solid performance.

I predict that when we hear her original, she will go to the head of the class. GO KRISTEN! I LOVE YOU!

New to the boards, just wanted to say Kristen is my absolute favorite! Watching the video blogs, the rest of the competitors have personality like cardboard, but Kristen is a riot. I dont know how some people can justify some songs as country and others as not. I think basically every song thats been sung on this show has been of the country genre. Some might be coutry-pop, coutry-rock, country-folk, but in the end I think they all have some country in them. If country didn't cross over to the other genres I don't know if it'd be nearly as popular.

To me Kristen is showing multiple sides of her and if that means showing a variation of country, then so be it.

Welcome tenor! Look forward to seeing your posts! We're always happy to welcome another fan!

Have you seen Kristen's website?

Not Country?
Turn her loose on a Patsy Cline song and I think she would win you over. Just my 2 cents worth.

Kristen is very country! She is still on the country path or she would have sold out and sang pop years ago. Nicole is not country, that is why Kristen will be on the show longer. Nicole is still very good, just sounds a bit more folksy, rock.. very nice ,, but not for this show.
