Sunny Sweeney "Staying's Worse Than Leaving"

As a follow up to "From A Table Away", Sunny continues to prove the 90's value that comercial success is possible without sacraficing artistic integruity with "Staying's Worse Then Leaving". Her lyrics have the spite of a modern Taylor Swift song, but it is much more comparable to a song  Pam Tillis would've sang in her prime. Likewise, the production compliments the song in all the right ways, much like that of Shania Twain. However, while she has released the best song so far this year, Sunny's one weak spot is that this song is so great it feels like a classic for a stronger vocalist (like Pam, Patty Loveless, or Sara Evans), and she is a more then compitant singer just not quite the same caliber that could've made this an instant classic.

American Idol meets Country Superstar

It was recently reported that country-pop superstar Shania Twain will be a guess judge at the Chicago auditions for this seasons AI. Twain who is the best selling female country artist of all time, has the best selling country album of all time (Come On Over), and has had three top ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and seven number 1 hits on the country charts, last year divorced from her husband of fourteen years Robert John "Mutt" Lange. Late last year at the Cma Awards she made a surprise appearnce giving away the Entertainer of the Year award. At a fan meeting in Canada a label exec. from Mercury announced that a new Shania album is nowhere in sight. So for fans of Shania looks like the earliest would be late 2010 but hey in the meantime will get to see her on Idol in January!
