LeAnn Rimes Is Hot! She’s on fire and by that I mean she is going down in flames. She is an attractive woman with an immense singing talent that is perhaps unrivaled within a certain vocal range. Yet, the wealth and accolades she has received seem insufficient to her ambitions. Her acceptance of the humanitarian award appears more a promotion of LeAnn Rimes than humanitarianism. Over the years there has been an endless parade of contradictions in her PR persona: dressing conservatively to promote one cause and miniskirts with heels to promote another, generous praise of her peers when she wins but a savage butchery of new talent when they steal her light, and most hypocritical of all is her declaration of marital bliss before and after adulterous affairs with other women’s husbands. She seems destined to crash and burn. Has she become nothing more than another painted face using wholesome values to obsessively hold a portion of a fleeting audience?
Sugarland Is one of the best of Country as far as I'm concerned.Jennifer Nettles is Country Music's Janice Joplin and really does belt out a song with total emotion and unique style.
