better late than never

I'm a little late to the party, but I'm now officially hooked on Nashville.



I'll be the first to admit that I thought the premise was cheesy and I didn't think I'd like it.

I was wrong.

Producers, please give us more of Maddie & Daphne (real life sisters Lennon & Maisy Stella) singing! PLEASE!



I can't get enough of them. Come on Rayna...sign them to your label on the show so we get more!



On a side note...while looking for videos for this post...I just found out that the actors that play Scarlett and Gunnar are Australian and British. What the what?! Mind blown.



While I love their voices together, I'm also a fan of them individually. LOVING Gunnar's take on Shine by Ashley Monroe...


For a music love like me...the show is pure gold.

But perhaps two of my favorite songs from the show are sung by my list favorite character, therefore I'm going to share the real writers singing them instead of Juliette.





Great writing on the show and on the songs. If you haven't given Nashville a shot, please do. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

melissa mccarthy

Melissa McCarthy is hilarious.

SNL? She killed it. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time. The first sketch was quite possibly one of the funniest. Get ready to pee your pants.



Baby straightjacket anyone?



And with my favorite, Joel McHale.
