Eric Church found himself under fire recently for comments her made to Rolling Stone magazine stating that he didn't consider those that participate in reality show compeitions to be real artists! As you can imagine Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton took offense to this! Miranda was quick to call Eric out on the interview via Twitter Monday, writing, "Thanks Eric Church for saying I'm not a real artist. Or @kelly_clarkson, @carrieunderwood & @KeithUrban. Your welcome for the tour in 2010." (Eric opened for Miranda on her Revolution tour.) Blake also tweeted about the controversial interview, writing simply, "I wish I misunderstood this." (TheBoot.com) Eric quickly put out a statement to clarify his statements..... "The comment I made to Rolling Stone was part of a larger commentary on these types of reality television shows and the perception they create, not the artists involved with the shows themselves," Eric clarifies. "The ...

emichaels@hi99.com (Eric Michaels) — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 21:23:52 GMT

This post contains some adult language.....you've been warned! lol It has become very clear after an interview in Rolling Stone magazine that Eric Church has NO love for music competition reality shows including those that participiate, host or judge them! Eric takes a hit against American Idol and reality show television, saying that the country music industry is filled with talent from reality competitions – saying that trying out for a show like The Voice means you aren’t a true artist. (Keepitincountryblog.com) When asked what he thought about NBCs 'The Voice' Eric says: “It’s become American Idol gone mad. Honestly, if Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green f—ing turn around in a red chair, you get a deal? That’s crazy. I don’t know what would make an artist do that. You’re not an artist.” Eric had more to say, taking a jab at one of the stars of ...

Will a coach on 'The Voice' go Country??

emichaels@hi99.com (Eric Michaels) — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 19:50:12 GMT

Did you hear what pop star Christina Aguilera told contestant RaeLynn on 'The Voice' the other night? "You make me want to sing country," Christina told RaeLynn.....Wait a minute Xtina...it makes you want to do WHAT? Are we going to hear a country version of 'Lady Marmalade' or 'Genie in a Bottle'? Probably not, however there is possibly a duet in the works with her co-coach on 'The Voice' Blake Shelton! Christina recently tweeted to Blake after a performance of Blake's 'Hillbilly Bone'...... "@blakeshelton now we need to team up for a country duet Blake!! I'm down!! Let's go!" tweeted Christina in response. It may seem that on the show, atleast to me, that Blake likes to take several shots at Christina though the show. When in all actuality he has immense respect for the blonde beauty. He recently said Christina is one of the "greatest vocalists of all time" ...

Jake Owen picked out the BLING!

emichaels@hi99.com (Eric Michaels) — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:20:49 GMT

Remember just a week or so ago Jake Owen popped the question to his girlfriend, Lacey Buchanan? He did it so off the cuff he didn't even have a ring! Well, thats changed now and Lacey is now sporting a beautiful 2.5-carat oval-cut diamond set in platinum with a “little bitty halo around it” and small diamonds on the band. “I want that ring to be timeless,” he says. “When my mom saw it, she said, ‘That looks like something Princess Diana would wear.’ I was so excited to give it to her.” He and Buchanan had talked about getting married, and Owen asked her father for permission, but on the day of his hometown show — at his old high school in Florida — “I only had one song left to play and it was ‘Don’t Think I Can’t Love You,’” he recalls. “I wrote it a long time ...
