Rochelle News– New crop of “Country” wannabes ready to warble (CK News) + My opinion (dun dun dun)
Actress Sean Young, ‘N Sync’er Chris Kirkpatrick and former Jackson 5 member Jermaine Jackson have “Gone Country” at CMT.
The cable network has ordered a second season of the reality competition series, in which a group of celebrities vie for a chance to release their own country single.
Season 2 competitors also include Skid Row lead singer Sebastian Bach, who recently competed on sister network MTV’s “Celebrity Rap Superstar”; actress-singer Irene Cara of “Fame” fame; former “American Idol” finalist Mikalah Gordon; and actor Lorenzo Lamas, who recently popped up on ABC’s “The Bachelor,” on which his daughter Shayne is one of two remaining contestants.
Production on Season 2 is under way for an August premiere, with singer John Rich of Big & Rich returning to host and choose the winner.
The first season of “Country,” which ended March 7 with Julio Iglesias Jr. named the winner, became CMT’s highest-rated series ever, averaging 769,000 total viewers.

My opinion…
I’m not a big fan of reality TV in general. I’ve watched a few episodes of the ‘real world’ when I was younger and I’ll watch the sadness of vh1 shows of flavor of love /rock of love, if nothing else is on, and they seem to run that shit all the time…..but now since celebs have hooked on reality tv, I tend to only watch shit about people I already like. That being said I tend to watch anything involving Hal Sparks, Chris Kirkpatrick, and any comedian I respect if on a show (so I’ve watched the Kathy Griffin show)…but american idol/survivor/big brother/amazing race/etc? no. I need down time to watch all the stupid cartoons and british tv I watch. That being said Hal sparks has been on several shows and while i like the dude, I wish i could see him in more movies and stuff then doing magic. Not my place to say though.
with Chris on ‘Goin’ country’ this could be interesting in the fact that this shows first season hit the soup ( a show I love), and other places; while the only other reality TV he was in was watched, but didn’t get too much fanfare (Mission Manband..only 6 episodes, the guys involved all got along pretty well and, seemed to end too early). in the previous show he was a part of a band (sureshot) that was a mix of former boyband/vocal group dudes and see what happen…interesting the it didn’t hit off but suddenly NKOTB are getting a album together and going on tour….hmm.
anywhos I just and waiting to see it and hope it kicks ass. Cause celebracadara (Hal Sparks show as this time) doesn’t do much for me aside from the fact I learned how bitchy Ant (comedian) is, or pretends to be.
ok, I”m done rambling.
