Justin couldn't get one of those hats over his hair, so I guess he's out.

This always happens. Something good comes along followed by a bunch of crappy imitations.

I'll have to see this before I call it "crap." I mean, it's not like AI was such a fabulous show. This might be better. I like some country music and there's some I dislike. But there's no reason that a search for a country star will be any less compelling than AI (the bar is set pretty low to begin with).
