Hi Tim,

I've heard your name a lot in the past. Congrats on making Nashville Star. We've had great luck with JPF members and Nashville Star. We look forward to Rooting for you this year! I think there's at least 3 JPF members in Nashville Star this year but you're the first to post. Last season we had 4 of the 10 and Chris Young won it all as you know. I think getting our 41K members behind the JPF members hasn't hurt in the voting at all.

I know you can't usually post during the show, but if you have anyone in your family that is willing to keep us up to date while you're on the show we can pass that info on to all the JPF membership and remind them to vote during the season.

Congrats again and thanks for jumping in!

Brian

Good luck to you Tim. I've got a lot of buddies in White House, I'll bet they're pumped about this.

Hi all! My name is Johanna...I'm a friend of Tim's and am helping him while he's a little busy getting ready for the Nashville Star show! I will be leaving lots of updates and reminders as he progresses...

So, to start things off:
The first show of Season 5 Nashville Star will be taped this Friday, Jan. 5 at the BellSouth Acuff Theater in Nashville. This show will be aired on Thursday, Jan. 11 - which is when the voting will begin!

If anyone is in going to be in the Nashville area this Friday, and would like tickets, send me an email with a DEFINITE number of tickets needed! They want to fill up completely, so please make sure your tickets will be used! I know the staff, along with Tim and the other finalists, will be VERY appreciative!!

I will be posting voting rules and such as we get closer...

Hi Johanna,

Thanks for popping in. We look forward to follow Tim and the other JPF members this year. We've followed JPF members 3 of the 4 years and had 2 of 3 winners. (We had the 3rd place finisher the third year). Buddy Jewel and Chris Young both posted (or had family post) and I am sure that it helps a lot getting the word out. Can't wait to hear/see everyone this time around as well!

Brian

Hey Tim. I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of you. You've worked your tail off getting to this point in your career. That I know first hand from those early Nashville days.

Haven't seen you forever, but I just had to post this and let you know I'm so very happy for you and your family.

Just go out there on the 5th, cut loose and have a blast. In other words...Just be yourself man, Genuine and Real. Everything else will take care of itself.

Love ya man, your ole bud Mike

Hey Tim,

I know last year Chris Young and the gang used to read our message boards during the show season, but he wasn't allowed to actually post. Has that changed? Or have the limitations not kicked in yet? Is the show on every Friday starting tomorrow?
