Gone Country 3 Finale

CMT : Gone Country 3 : Show : John Rich Hosts Sheila E., Tara Conner, George Clinton, Taylor Dayne, Micky Dolenz and More

So another season of Gone Country comes to a close. The talent wasn't that bad this season. I must say that I'm still perplexed about George Clinton's role on the show. Overall, there was some pretty good songwriting.

It was good to see Mickey Dolenz. He was always one of my favs from the Monkees. His song was pretty good and I can see a future for him in Country. He was one of the more authentic contestants this season.

Taylor Dane can really sing. I really see her as more of a Pop/R&B artist, though.

I really think that Tara Conner has potential, she just needs some vocal coaching. I think that the country audience would accept her.
Richard Grieco's song was very moving. It took courage for him to come on the show, let alone to write & perform something so personal.

I was surprised to see Justin Guarini on the show. He was probably the least country of all of the contestants (besides George, of course). His song was pretty good, though.

I was happy to see Sebastian Bach on the finale. It was good to hear that he's working. I'm not quite sure what happened to Season 1's winner. Never heard from him.

Mickey, Shelia, and Taylor were the strongest contestants. I'm happy with the winner. I found Shelia E. to be the most interesting contestant just because you can tell that she is extremely passionate about music in general. I can truly see her performing any type of music. She also seems like a genuinely nice person.
