John Rich Slams Nashville Star: It Bastardized What Country Music is About

Country singer John Rich has slammed Nashville Star saying the American Idol style show “completely bastardized what country music is about.”

Rich was a judge on the show, which was hosted by Billy Ray Cyrus, last summer but now says he isn’t a fan. “I wouldn’t touch Nashville Star with a 40-foot pole. I thought this was really going to represent country music, put us on a new level,” he said.

The Big and Rich singer says two good things did come of Nashville Star – contestants Gabe Garcia and Melissa Lawson. “Those two acts were the saving graces of that show,” he adds.

Meanwhile, Rich is promoting the release of his first solo album ‘Son of  a Preacher Man’ and is working on starting a family with new wife Joan Bush.
