About Nashville star
Nashville Star is a reality television program broadcast on the USA Network in the United States and CMT in Canada. It premiered on March 8, 2003 and has run the course of four seasons (35 total episodes) to date.

It is similar to American Idol, in that performers must sing to impress both celebrity judges and the public via call-in and/or internet votes. Unlike American Idol, however, the performances are limited to country music. Whereas American Idol generally elevates people off the street to stardom, Nashville Star finalists are usually already somehow involved in the country music industry, but may not have attained a record deal on a major label.

Nashville Star is produced by Reveille Productions and originates live (except for each season's premiere episode, which is taped) on Tuesday nights from the BellSouth Acuff Theatre at the Gaylord Opryland complex in Nashville, Tennessee. Audience members are required to have tickets, which are distributed free of charge except for a standard handling fee. The competition has historically taken place over the months of March and April.

Show format
In a format nearly identical to American Idol, finalists perform one song per week individually and face criticism and/or praise from a panel of three judges. At the end of the show, voting opens to the viewing public, who may cast votes by calling a toll-free telephone number or logging on to the show's official website. The performer with the least amount of votes is eliminated.

However, because Nashville Star airs only once per week, eliminations are not announced until the following episode. The finalists who are clear to the next round are called in random order to the stage one-by-one to perform until there are only two finalists remaining. At that point, one is called to perform and the other is eliminated for receiving the lowest amount of votes from the previous week. This provides an interesting twist to the competition, as each finalist has no idea the order in which he or she will perform, and has less than one minute to prepare once his or her name is called. No votes are tallied on the season finale.

Currently, the judges are only present to offer criticism to the finalists in an attempt to sway the voting public. In 2003 and 2004 (and once in 2006), judges eliminated a few contestants based on consensus without sending it to the viewing public for a vote.

Finalists are usually songwriters, in addition to being singers. In each season, one episode is dedicated to songs written by the finalists.

The winner of Nashville Star receives a recording contract (through Sony Music in Seasons 1 & 2, Universal South Records in Season 3, and RCA Label Group in Season 4), a performance on the Grand Ole Opry, and a Chevrolet pickup truck.

Finalists live together for the entire run of the show. During the first two seasons, the finalists lived in a large house near Nashville's Music Row. Beginning with the 2005 season, finalists shared a large suite at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. Excerpts of the finalists' interaction with each other in their living environment are often edited into the show.

Regular episodes of Nashville Star run 60 minutes each. Season premieres and finales normally run 90 minutes each (except the 2004 premiere, which ran 120 minutes). In 2006, the second episode also ran 90 minutes. The first three seasons featured nine episodes each. The fourth season (2006) was cut to eight episodes.

In addition, each episode begins with the "Prilosec OTC Opening Act", in which an established country music star performs one song to open the show.
