Rising Star

By the time Brett Young finishes just about any acoustic performance, you want to rush the stage and give him a hug.

I'm very proud of Sarah Darling, who sang Kacey Musgrave's "Merry Go Round" beautifully on Sunday night.  She received praise and excitment from all three judges.  Brad Paisley was 100% behind Sarah and did his best to get the crowd to join him in trying to get the wall raised.  It worked, with an 89% score!  Check out the video!

It's officially official! Brad Paisley has been added to the panel for ABC's summer reality show, 'Rising Star.' He's holding it down for country music but will be joined by two other talented artists.

Blake Shelton and Keith Urban, judges on 'The Voice' and 'American Idol' respectively, will no longer be the only country music stars sitting in judge's seats. Fellow country star Brad Paisley is said to be joining a new ABC reality series called 'Rising Star' as one of their judges.
