American Idol has certainly seen its fair share of country singers.  It's produced some big stars in country radio, too.  From Carrie Underwood and Kellie Pickler to Kelly Clarkson and one of the newest country stars, Scotty McCreery, they've all gotten their start from being on the American Idol stage.  But has the show finally come to a screeching stop?

First there was American Idol.  Recently NBC came out with The Voice. Now, there is a new music competition show.But this new show is not about who can sing the best, but rather about who can write the best. There is such a huge difference between a good singer and a great songwriter.  many people can sing well but they could never write a song if their life depended on it.
