Unbelievable.
It is truly unbelievable that we are not able to vote for the person we choose for Nashville Star. When were the rules changed for selecting who we can vote for? I see that Nashville Star can do anything they want to except to follow the rules they first set out with. I have heard that some of the contestants got a singer to sing back ground harmonies, is that in the rules, I don't think so. I now see that this is not a "talent contest" but a "Reality show" that Nashville Star can manipulate to better the ratings for their show. The judges have taken off possibly the two best performers so that the playing field is level for the other eight contestants. All of the girls and the audience were shocked that you were the one that was judged off the show. When Tim was judged off the audience was booing. It is laughable the reasons the judges used to "vote off" you and Tim. Get real; the judges had no real reasons to get rid of you and Tim other than for RATINGS. Since you and Tim is off the show, the ratings will be more to their liking which means more money for them. I feel so sorry for you and for Warner Brothers and the fans. Warner Brothers are going to lose out because they will have to sign the "winner" to a contract that will end up costing them a lot of money. The last four season's winners have not been totally succesful and since they cut the best performers this season, the fifth season will not have a winner for Warner Brothers. They should of let the fans vote, for they are the one's who will buy Warner Brothers CD's. As a fan of all music, most country music is a bit boring. Rickiejoleen, you have something that country music is missing, energy. Warner Brothers should sign you as fast as they can because you will change the country music industry for the better. Not only are you a great singer but also a great entertainer. I know all the work you put in your performance that the judges can't see, the other contestants just got by. You are a professional. God Bless you and your family.

The reason Rickiejoleen and Tim LaRoche got voted off first is because the judges were scared
$#!tless, there was actually talent on the show that could have gone on to win, but they didn't fit the "country" profile. Just like with American Idol, if you don't fit the "all-american" persona, you don't have a chance of winning.

Both Rickiejoleen and Tim will have great musical careers in front of them, Nashville star was just a small speed bump on the highway to sucess.

I'll be waiting to hear more from both of them.
