Duets

Looks like ABC is hopping on the reality show singing competition bandwagon with a show called "Duets".  The show will be a little different than American Idol and The Voice because the four celebrity singers will be out seeking an ideal duet partner instead of having the contestants audition.  The four celebrities on this years show will be Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, Kelly Clarkson, Lionel Richie and Robin Thicke.  Sounds like a pretty cool concept.  Jennifer said she will be out in search of "BIG voices, males and females, who can sing diverse, dynamic music".  The network is already running promos for the new show which will make its debut May 24th on ABC.

Congrats to Jake Owen who got engaged over the weekend!  Jake was performing at a charity event in his hometown down in Vero Beach.  He said it was totally spontaneous and not planned at all.  I believe it because he didn't even have a ring!!!  Jake said he wanted propose in front of his friends and family and during the song "Don't Think I Can't Love You", he popped the question!  I see ring shopping and lots of planning in their future.

Kenny Chesney spilled a few details about the meaning of the title of his upcoming CD "Welcome To The Fishbowl".  He said he & some of his football buddies walked into Red Bar in Grayton Beach, Fl (very cool place....I've been there) and was instantly mobbed by fans and spent the next 45 minutes taking pictures and signing autographs.  Kenny said his friends were blown away with how many people wanted something from him and how everyone was staring at him all night, and he replied "hey, welcome to the fishbowl".  That phrase stuck with him and he knew he had to turn it into a song.  Kenny said the title track isn't necessarily about that experience, but about life as a celebrity.  Look for his new CD June 19th.

Don't forget, more FREE Luke Bryan tickets this week.  Same contest on facebook as we did the last couple weeks.  Also, Santa Rosa County fair is going on thru Saturday out in East Milton and we'll be there every day!  Be sure to stop by and see WXBM and sign up for a free pair of tickets to Bonfire Jam on Pensacola Beach.  We will give out a pair of tickets each day at the Santa Rosa County Fair from Your Country 102.7 WXBM!
