Whitney Duncan is by far possibly the worst singer I have ever seen on Nashville Star. She may be hot but when it comes to singing she is really bad. I just hate how the judges are so pimping her. I would outsing her anyday anytime. www.myspace.com/matthewramirez67

That is the most absurd comment I have ever heard. The judges are not the ones that are voting so how can they be pimping Whitney.

And the fact that you can "out sing her anyday" is why we are watching her on Nashville Star and not you???????

Hang in there Whitney!! You're doing great!

I think what Matthew is saying is that the judges are influencing the popular vote, with their overly-positive comments about Whitney. And if you don't agree with that, I'd be happy to put a poll up on this board and let the members decide, although it would be pretty much an overwhelming decision I believe.

No the reason you are watching her and not me is because the show is pimping her to be the winner. No matter how horrible she sounds they hardly ever say bad things about her. I wonder why because they want her to win. Also she magically appears added in the regionals

Whitney has her ups and downs, but is no comparison to the Hacker's, now those kids can sing! Sorry honey this ain't Texas! Your competin' with the real southerners now!

Go read the voting rules. The producers have the final say on who goes home regardless of the voting. One out of every three people are tone deaf and I'm guessing you must be one of them.

yeah you tell them. Its probably a relative of Whitney. But need to be nice to Whitney or she will bad talk us again in her video blog.

Well, then folks, we are being LIED to every time CBT says that the voters will decide who goes home!

TSIR!!!!!

Lets cut out the personal attacks or else this will be yet another closed Whitney thread.

Now the powers that be in the admin is trying to censor the voice of the people like the producers of the show. I just read the voting rules and it basically states that they can deem a winner at anytime they want to. And void votes and what not. TSIR ALL THE WAY

No personal attaks here!
It is true that the producers have final say in who WINS... I think the final two is up to the voting public and, 9 times out of 10 the producers go along with the winner... but, just like on american idol, the label has the right to decide who actually wins the show and the record deal.

No kidding

I hope Whitney reads these threads. It will do either one of 2 things. Fire her up to prove us wrong. Or just really exploit how horrible her singing is. I am thinking its gonna be the latter

If Whitney went head to head with me in a singing competition. I would guarantee that I would win hands down. I think a drunk singing karaoke could probably win.

Whitney,
I agree your doing a great job. You are one of my favorites. I just think you could have picked a better song in the 3rd week it didn't do you justice. Keep Up The Good Work. Can't wait til next week to see how you do with one of your own songs. You have a GREAT voice. I have been voting for you since the beginning of the show.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Shannon

I would even beg the producers to give me one shot if they are reading any of this. Whitney VS. Matthew head to head. Viewer VS. Message board basher Whitney. We all know they want her to win. So if that happens I would love to take on her in a singing battle.

I think you are drunk if you actually believe yourself. You must be like those american idol want-a-be's who actually think they can sing and wonder why the judges make fun of them.

No I am not drunk. I have performed on the Grand Ole Opry. Whitney never has. Plus if Whitney were able to outsing me I would quit singing forever and even put up money toward her record deal

lol Whitney would be another one. ;-)

My guess is she will be the next one to go home.

Well, maybe you should get ready to put up that money. And give yourself a pat on the back for performing at the Opry while your at it. And where I can here your stuff, no joke I really would like to listen.

No , just because the show producers think they can mold her and train her to be better than she is right now. But most of us , probably almost all, already know she can't sing so even if she wins , she'll be another EJ who vanished into thin air

You can check out my stuff on www.myspace.com/matthewramirez67

Click on the myspace link at the bottom of his post. And I've ben listening while posting

Hey UTLV Let me know what you think of my stuff

Cliff, I really doubt that there are many people out here that are changing their vote from some other contestant they like to instead vote for Whitney who they don't like, just because of the judges 'overly-positive comments'. I'd be interested to see the results of that poll...

__ I was going to vote for someone else, but the judges changed my mind and I voted for Whitney instead.

__ I was going to vote for someone else, and I did.

Idea why not create it and find out?

The sad fact is it really doesnt matter who we are voting for. If the producers really want Whitney to win then she will. I think it will be a very bad decision if that happens. Not only because Whitney is not deserving but fans will find out and know that the show was rigged. I have a feeling that while she may not actually win the show the producers will still have that sweet deal lined up for her. As in to help cover up the theory of a fixed show.

Dude, shut up! I went and listened to your Garth Brooks wannabe myspace page. You are by no means a great singer.......i would say a little above average. If you want to say she's a bad singer, just say "I don't think she can sing." Your advantage in a singing contest is doubtful.

It would be better if you were drunk, then you might have an excuse for making all these absurd comments. Whitney has never played the Opry because she is an undiscovered talent.....that's the whole point of the show. If you are that great, shut up and let your ability do the talking, because this "I would beat Whitney in a singing contest" stuff is just totally lame self promotion.

These comments by no means are absurd. I am just speaking truth. Many people on here feel the same way about Whitney and her lack of talent. I dont come out alot and toot my own horn about my singing but when I see terrible so-called talent taking up spaces on these shows I just get fed-up. I really do think that NS could have done a better job finding talent for the show.

"By far possibly the worst singer I have ever seen..." Not sure I follow this..."by far possibly the worst"???

I don't know that Whitney is the worst, but she is by far NOT the best and it really bugs me that she is still going because of her looks... and we all know that is why. Blake makes a point EVERY week to talk about how HOT she is blah blah blah.. who cares... this is about singing not a beauty contest maybe Blake should get with the Donald and judge Miss USA instead. Seriously her preformance this past week was VERY mediocre... she looked very uncomfortable and I definatley would NOT pay to see her perform... as there is NO "performance" there...Get a clue America

America has come to realize it. Just sad that the producers of the show havent. Lets see we are on season 5. Lets take a look back at the past winners Buddy Jewel was talented had very good songs were is he now he lost his deal. Brad Cotter hmm havent heard much from him. Erika Joe need I say more. And Chris Young very talented great voice but he doesnt seem to be getting much airplay on the radio except in certain markets. The only real successful person from NS is Miranda Lambert.

So are you challenging Chris Young?

You had your chance to audition...the reality is you are not on the show so we don't really care how well you can sing...maybe you can audition for next season?

REmember- Whitney didn't have to audition either.....she was wisked into Regionals at the last minute....

Do you mind sharing when you were on the Opry? Did you sing solo or with a band? As an Opry fan, I'm just curious.

I've seen several mentions of that here but am not up on the rules; how exactly does one skip the auditions and land a spot in regionals??

I don't see where the producers have a personal incentive to rig anything. Unless they intentionally want to not be renewed for next season.

The label, on the other hand, does have an incentive to select one over another, based on who they may feel is best rather than the general voting public. Maybe we should give the producers a break, and look at them.

Has anyone considered that perhaps Whitney DID have more votes than Meg? Assuming the show isn't attracting a material percentage of new viewers week after week, the only source of new votes is from the person just voted off. It doesn't surprise me in the least that Whitney would inherit many of those orphaned voters. I don't believe she will benefit as much from Meg's voters - I believe Angela will benefit most.

The audition process is the most common way to make regionals, but it's sure not the only way. There are private auditions and videos and then sometimes the label asks for an addition. I can't prove it now...if I ever could...but I believe this is how Whitney landed at Regionals. I know she wasn't on the initial list of Regionalists.

I couldn't have said it better!!!!!

Come on people, he is just "pimping" his myspace. Ignore him and he might go away.

Just thought I would chime in here. I think you could take Whitney in a sing off. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the kind comment. As for when I was on the Opry it was on May 29, 1999. I was part of a group called the Young Guns. We were a country boy band back before Rascal Flatts came along. We actually were on the Opry the night Brad Paisley debuted on the Opry. Sherrie Austin was on there as well.

What I cannot understand is that not one judge has remarked about her nasal sound. I agree that she is the worst one on the show but why don't the judges see it. Is it because she is cute, or what?

The reason they dont say anything is because they have labeled her as the winner. Thats what Blake and Anastasia have said from the start. And they hardly ever give her any criticism they always cover it up by saying how nice she looks. Looks can only do so much.

I am from the same town as Whitney...I have literally heard her sing since she first began and I have watched her grow. She is in this competition for a reason...she has talent. She is a performer and she can work the audience as good or better than anyone in the competition. If you take for instance Madonna...she isn't the best vocalist, but she knows how to perform and she is a success. Whitney has had moments where she wasn't at her best, I agree, but this girl is going somewhere.

javyn is that you? poizyn how cute.

no...i honestly do not know who javyn is....i joined today, I am female from Scotts Hill, TN...29 years old...etc. etc. etc....sorry

If Whitney Duncan wins Nashville Star this will probably be the end of the Nashville Star show. I believe that next week Josh will go home while it should be Whitney. The reason Josh will go home is so Whitney will be in the final 4 and thus she will get to be on the Nashville Star tour. Now if she makes it to the final 3 then there will be a real big stir. They already got rid of someone with potential and that was Kacey.
