Bachelor 21 - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

 I worker with song writers. So I have an informed opinion. Song of the Year is a CMA writer's award. If you are a Nashville writer and Luke is...you want one. You don't get one if your song ain't on radio. You'd don't get on Radio if the labels decides to not waste their time on someone who got too expensive because they are tied to ABC and a a reality show OR if that reality show doesn't equal talent that will equal paying music buyers. Luke spent time with Terry McBride last month. It is only logical he asked about taking the gig..it's only logical he was given GREAT advice about using the opportunity but not letting it hurt him. It's logical Fleiss would love to say he discovered Luke if McBride thought he's any good and recommend to MV2 Entertainment to develop him (don't have an answer on that) and that would have made for some interesting contract negotiations. And would make for a pins and needles wait and see if he got the gig and I was his mamma!

I don't get it either.  It's not like his name is Luke Bryant.    

Add me to this list.  He's trying to become a big named, country star, he is not one yet.  

People get chewed up, spit out and fail on a daily basis in Nashville trying to become a star.  I don't think someone whose mostly known for writing, has a few songs out and only just became a well known name to most of the US because of his time on the bachelorette, has a huge team (legal or otherwise) following his every move, getting ready to do legal battles with ABC and just in general watching out for him.  

Nothing against Luke but IMO, at best he's perhaps maybe an up and coming star.  He's made some friends and surrounds himself with some names that are becoming big names (Cole Swindell) after years of paying their dues, or are well known big names (the upcoming song writing with Blake Shelton) so maybe they'll help give him a shout out and an assist on the way up.  But still he's got a ways to go, before I call him a country music star or expect him to have a team big enough to take on ABC and how they'd edit him, IMO.  Besides he's no dummy, he's capable of making his own choices.  IMO, he'll do what he thinks is best for him.  Maybe dealing with whatever MF, TPTB, CH, etc. will put him threw as a lead is worth it for a chance at love and continuing to build his brand on his road to becoming a country star.  Who knows...

@Aunties_Love of course we would love and appreciate it as long as you have the time to do it.  If not, let us know and maybe someone else can jump in to assist.  Thanks!
