Justin Guarini
American Idol first-season runner-up Justin Guarini is used to pressure.

This Saturday at 8 pm/ET, Justin Guarini will go country as a competitor on Gone Country 3, the CMT series that challenges celebs from assorted walks of life to take a walk on the wailing side.

Randy and Paula gave her a standing ovation (Simon, of course, stayed seated but clapped as enthusiastically as he could), and if she hadn't been kicked off the show for those naughty pictures, there's no telling how far Frenchie could have gone. 4) Carrie Underwood, "I Can't Make You Love Me" | Watch on YouTubeWho knew this farm girl who sported the '80s wardrobe and glamour-shots makeup at her audition would become ...
