Drafting Overview:
Season 6 of the American reality singing competition Nashville Star premiered on NBC on June 9, 2008. This season marked a transition for the series, which moved to NBC after airing its first five seasons on the USA Network. A significant change in the competition format for this season was the expansion of audition categories; while the previous five seasons on USA Network only permitted solo acts, the sixth season opened auditions to include duets and singing trios. The season was hosted by Billy Ray Cyrus and featured a judging panel consisting of Jeffrey Steele, John Rich, and Jewel. For the first time, these judges also served as mentors to the finalists, with John Rich slated to produce the winner's album. Contestants competed for a variety of prizes, including a Toyota Tundra pickup truck and a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records. The winner also received the opportunity to perform at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, though the scheduled closing ceremony performance was eventually canceled. Guest performers during the season included Taylor Swift, Trace Adkins, and Danity Kane. Melissa Lawson was the winner, followed by Gabe Garcia, Shawn Mayer, and Coffey Anderson.
