Local girls want to be ‘Nashville Stars’
I made an effort and caught Pearl Heart (Florissant sisters Amy, Angela and Courtney Krechel) on the season premiere of “Nashville Star” on NBC Monday night. In the interest of full disclosure, I really don’t like country music. I know, I know; it’s a big genre, and saying I don’t like country music is eliminating a lot of stuff I actually might like. But I grew up in El Dorado, Ark., and heard way too much country on the radio in my formative years. Nevertheless, the girls, whose family moved to Nashville to advance their career, are clearly very talented. The judges were impressed, just told Courtney (the youngest and the lead singer) to work on being the frontwoman and selling the song more. Not to be harsh, and not to recommend tarting them up, but I think they could all use makeovers, too – better haircuts, a little makeup, more polish, a more distinctive look. Audience voting will keep them around, so if you want to help the local girls out, watch next week and call in.
The girls names are Amy, Angela, & Courtney. Not to be harsh but I think Gail could pay a little better attention to detail.
