Regionals
There are many sites that focus on the show. They have lots of opinions from many people. The USA network site is the best it's ever been. I just didn't feel there was much need for another review web site, and I can't compete with the USA network site. I have chosen instead to focus on regionals -- and on Independent Artists even if they didn't tryout for Nashville Star. I've manage to be at all of the regional auditions for the last three years (season three, season four and season five). There are now many more pictures.
Independent Artists
Through my participation in message boards I've become aware of many artists who don't have a contract with a major label. Some have no contract. Some no longer have a contract. Some have contracts, but not with major labels. Many have singles. Some have CDs. Some just provide a little information. Some of the demos on sites are home grown. That's ok too - as long as they say so upfront..
I try not to limit the links to only those I really like. The truth is I don't like the same artists that some other people like, and other people don't necessarily like the same artists I do.
