What Intimidated Miranda?
Many people may not remember but in 2003 Miranda Lambert made a splash by competing on the first season of Nashville Star. Last week she shared that the show was very intimidating, and she actually failed her initial audition.
Taste Of Country Dot Com reports that Miranda gave an industry only interview as part of the 2020 Country Radio Seminar in Nashville last week. She told the audience that when she first auditioned for the USA Network reality singing competition, her heart wasn't really in it, and she didn't get very far into the audition process.
Bev, her mom, was angry with Miranda for not putting her heart and soul into the audition. Bev had spent countless hours shuttling Lambert to auditions, and bookings. The notion that Miranda didn't showcase her true talents didn't sit well with mom. Bev insisted that her daughter audition again in another city, and Lambert sang "Crazy" in her second audition, winning her way onto the show.
