Gone Country-Demo Previews

For once the episode opens without Mo stepping in urine. Instead it's off for some plain good fun, ATV riding. Saddle up those ATV's and as Maureen said, she loves the horsepower between her legs...... In the end, the group does the group bonding thing by all jumping in the big puddle of mud.
Once back at the house, the cast is told that they will make a demo of their songs and that evening will be joined by a guest judge to give critiques. Carney runs around screaming that she doesn't have a song yet. Not only do they have to perform the song, they have to write it. Carney says that's two very different things, writing and singing, ya think? She complains where do I fit in this equation as she volunteers writing something about a golden rose, as her songwriters give her that frozen stare.
The guest judge is Randy Owens from the group Alabama, which Bobby Brown says he's so good he beat him out of a Grammy! As they start on the working tapes first up is Julio. I thought his song was stinky, I could barely understand what he was saying, but Randy and JR seems to think it was ok except lose the Latin cha cha ending, isn't that where the ladies start to swoon? Dee wrote a song called "30, Rock out with your Rooster out" whatever that means. JR hated it and said that Dee could do better than that. Dee was not a happy camper, he's a rocker what does he know of meaningful lyrics? Sisqo disappointed JR with a ballad called "The Way That I Love You". It was a ballad and I'm a sucker for those. The surprise of the evening was Maureen's song. JR and Randy really liked it. "You like me, you really really like me!" At least we got a sneak peek of how she sounds, would be ok if only she could stop crying. JR told Carney she needs more emotion in her song and he just went off on poor Diana. She told the camera that any song can be country, you just need alittle twang to it, wrong! JR could totally see through that and asked her why she wanted to sing country. You could see her squirm under the weight of his question. "I thought it would be a challenge". Wrong answer. JR went ballistic. No you should want to sing country because it is in your entire being blah blah blah. Lighten up JR, you're giving the poor girl a complex, lest we forget that she is only 20 yrs old. That evening it was a sweet moment when Dee tried to console Diana. Diana was really distraught. Diana, wipe the tears, blow your nose and move on, it's not the end of the world. Speaking about end of the world, outside Bobby is communing with the stars in the heavens and praying to God. There is something so real, something so vulnerable about him that one can't help but love him despite all his weakness of character. Hey Bobby, have you found the sleepwalking whisperer yet?-Single D
