I have no readers yet.....

As this is my first blog, it is being sent to outerspace (unless I make my sister read it), but I've been meaning to start a blog for awhile. One reason being that working in trade settlements has compromised my English skills. My spelling is now bordering on Engrish, but that will be another blog to come....
So my blog tonight... starting at 10pm which is actually my bedtime ... is about country music. I just happened to be reading someone's posting about Jessica Simpson's new country song and they asked for people's opinions. I just started a discussion about this "pop gone country" trend in general.
Does anyone foresee a possible backlash against all the people using country to extend or start up their 15 minutes of fame? It's seems anyone who got tired of singing pop, or didn't think they could be popular enough is using country to get a hit song....
Pop gone Country...
Michelle Branch (I love the Wreckers, I'm just saying she didn't start country)
Jewel (started as folky-pop which I guess is close enough)
Julianne Hough (love her but her first single lacks substance (brain cells) and doesnt sound at all country)
Jessica Simpson (from Dallas but still can't pull off a country accent in a movie)
I'm also stating this from the position of having a guilty addiction to cheesy pop music and loving it for what it is... Cheesy pop music. I would love this new song more if Jessica didn't do her breathy moany oversinging. I do want to hear the rest of the CD though... and I may buy it. I'm just saying Jess honey don't plan on winning country songwriting awards.
