2008 Nashville Star Winner- Melissa Lawson!

Well, they finally wrapped up the first major network season of Nashville Star on NBC tonight. The viewing audience had a choice between two finalist - Melissa Lawson or Gabe Garcia. In what was overall a very hard to watch (and listen to) series that included far too many very untalented singers - the last two standing were unquestionably the best of the bunch.
Gabe Garcia was good, but he just doesn’t stand out vocally from other male vocalist in the country format. He does have a unique look, and oh how the country format is desperately needing diversity! The best vocalist, and the ultimate winner of Nashville Star, Melissa Lawson, delivered when she needed to.
This really is of little surprise and Melissa Lawson seems like the very safe choice by the fans of country music.
But she certainly deserves the top prize as she really seemed to have the best pure country voice and delivered each week without fail. She outlasted Gabe Garcia (many will be screaming that Gabe was robbed) and small town Iowa girl Shawn Mayer was eliminated early and finished third.
