Top-four finalist on Nashville Star and Arlington resident Melissa Lawson performed last night in her hometown, and we have a slideshow and review of the benefit show. The concert was at Arlington High School; fitting, since she attended there her senior year. Besides Melissa being a local on a televised, national country music competition, I'm rooting for her for two other reasons. First, I was born and raised in Aggtown myself. Second, she's a singer on the worship team at the church I attend, Pantego Bible Church, located right on the border of Arlington and Fort Worth. Let me tell you, the girl can SANG. She exudes sincerity about what she's singing and her stage presence is always believable, never contrived. She's an underdog in that she's breaking the industry mold. She's in her 30s, a wife and mom to five small boys and she's not Shania-Twain-skinny. In other words, she's kinda like the rest of us. |
