Nashville Star: Original song night spells the end for Ashlee Hewitt

Nashville Star: Original song night spells the end for Ashlee Hewitt

Ashlee Hewitt, the fresh-faced blond with the serviceable voice that once seemed destined to win Nashville Star, was eliminated tonight. She had the fewest viewer votes. Surprising, yes, especially when Coffey is the weakest artistic link on the show right now. Guess his weepy rendition of the Tim McGraw-Faith Hill duet "It's Your Love" last week struck a chord with America. Anyway, it was original song night and the judges raved about Arlington's Melissa Lawson. Ditto Gabe Garcia, from Lytle, Texas. Shawn Mayer survived, too, and got good notices. She did a power ballad called "I'm Not Looking Back." Next week: four finalists turn into three, one of which will be crowned the sixth winner of Nashville Star. The finale should be Aug. 4.

How could the voters send Ashlee home and keep that fake cowboy Cofey around for another week. That warble in his voice drives me crazy and he is about as country as I am; and I grew up in Oakland, Ca.
