Cheers: Country Cookin'
Cheers to
Nashville Star for cutting to the chase.
American Idol's countrified cousin whittled down the audition process - which takes Simon Cowell & Co. seemingly endless weeks - to 20 minutes, and promptly presented the Top 12 finalists. It helped that there were none of the airtime-sucking freak-shows that make
Idol's initial episodes so painful. Plus, Jewel smoothly transitioned from host to judge, making room for new emcee Billy Ray Cyrus to bring some of that
Hannah Montana/
Dancing With the Stars magic to the show as it's transplanted from USA to NBC. In a word: Giddyap!
