Tennessee teenager Erika Jo became the first female and youngest winner
of US country music talent show Nashville Star last night (26APR05).
The 18-year-old high school student scored the highest vote as 10
million fans of the TV show phoned in to turn one hopeful into a star.
Erika Jo won a recording contract and an appearance at country music
mecca the Grand Ole Opry.
The thrilled teen said, "Can you believe that just last weekend I
was at my prom? And now here I am with a record deal and an album to
record in the next month." |
