Whats next for Carrie Furman?
In two weeks, Furman will find out whether she made Nashville Star’s regional tryouts for the fourth consecutive year. If she does make regionals, which take place in November at Nashville’s Wildhorse Saloon, she would compete against 50 or so other contestants vying for 10 final slots – that is, the people who get on television. Regionals include not just singing competitions but extensive interviewing and camera tests. If Furman makes the final 10 chosen for the show – which uses a viewer-based voting system similar to American Idol – she will appear on the fifth season of Nashville Star, premiering in January.
