LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Bobby Brown ... country superstar?

The R&B singer is one of several celebrities set to compete in a new CMT series designed to give one of them a chance to break out as the next big country music star.

"Gone Country," a six-episode series premiering in January, will feature John Rich of the country duo Big & Rich guiding seven celebrities through the music industry.

Along with Brown, the participants include Carnie Wilson, formerly of Wilson Phillips; Dee Snider of Twisted Sister; "American Idol" finalist Diana DeGarmo; Julio Iglesias Jr.; Maureen McCormick ("The Brady Bunch"); and R&B artist Sisqo.

Production is under way. The celebrities are holed up in a Nashville mansion, where songwriters are preparing them for a career in country music. In each episode, the cast competes against one another in challenges that will test them musically and physically to adapt to a country music lifestyle both on- and offstage. After two weeks, Rich will select one winner, who will record and release a song.

but seriously, bobby brown? WTF?! i have no intention in caring what this wife beater gets up to in showbusiness after the hell and misery he put whitney houston through?

JoPol_wannabe · 10-19-2007, 05:52 PM

Oh come on the only singer listed that would sound any good singing country is Carnie Wilson but she sounds good singing anything in my opinion. I know Julio did a duet with Willie Nelson but other then that I can't see him or any of the other participants singing country.

besides, bobby brown singing country songs is the equivalent to prince doing opera. i doubt he'll succeed and win in this reality tv singing fest though

James"Thunder"Early · 10-19-2007, 06:32 PM

Bobby might be good at this if he does countrypolitan style songs. Diana Degarmo probably will do well too.

Julio Iglesias SR. did a duet with Willie Nelson, not Julio Iglesias JR. His son is appearing on this show.
