Maines also said,...It is totally me being who I am, and not wanting to compromise myself and hate my life."


She Bang!

Hi Jonny, thanks for the ping. So the Chicks are not welcome in Country music any more. Too bad Spitzer had all those payola probes, 'cause their management can't even pay to get their music played anymore.

Well, that ho, Natalie, might not want to do Country anymore, but the Chicks are also having a problem on Pop radio. Their new single, 'Not Ready To Make Nice,' debuts at -- drum roll please -- #427 on the Mediabase Pop Radio Airplay chart with exactly 2 spins, neither of which were at format-leading pop stations. Their audience impressions (meaning how many ears have listened on those two radio stations) are an estimated 56,000.

Just for contrast -- and to gleefully show how far away the Chicks are from the top on the Pop format -- the current #1 single is Shakira's 'Hips Don't Lie' (the song she sang with Wyclef Jean on American Idol). It presently has 9625 spins, is still adding spins, and is reaching an audience of about 74,850,000.

Heck, even Bo Bice, who had everything possible go wrong with his debut album and single, has 'The Real Thing' sitting at #23 on Mediabase's Pop radio airplay chart, with 2525 spins and 15,419,000 audience impressions.

Hehehehehehehehehehe...

Is it just me or is Natalie too"nasal" for anything other than country music.

Maybe she was faking that, too.

She can't blast it out like Mariah Carrie she doesn't have the pipes. So where is this pop career going.

South?

An idea for the recording industry MBAs. Maybe a merge could be arranged between the Dipsies and another failing group the Dead, in need of a spice of some sort, and be called the Dead Chicks?

I tried to Google, but with safe search on, Google wouldn't search on dixie.chicks. I know Maines husband is Iranian, but I thought one of the others had an islamic husband or boyfriend as well.

"Toby Keith continues supporting America and the troops while raking in the big bucks. How are "the chicks" doing?"

My dream country video would be for Kieth to do "How Do You Like Me Now?" with fat Natalie as the girl being haunted by hearing Keith over the radio. Couldn't do it with the real Natalie, but how about a look-alike? That would be such a cool response to her FYTK shirt on the awards show.

Just go to the IMDb and search on Natalie Maines. Her husband is an American of Iranian descent. The other Chicks are linked from her bio, and their husbands don't seem to be Muslim, but it's not specified.

Hi, Wolfstar :)

Their new single, 'Not Ready To Make Nice,' debuts at -- drum roll please -- #427 on the Mediabase Pop Radio Airplay chart with exactly 2 spins

LOL! That's Guarini territory :-D

Hehehehehehehehehehe...

It's even funnier knowing that Natalie is so clueless about this that she still blames the president, the media and Country radio for her problems--everybody but herself. Typical liberal.

I think the Chicks are dead in the water.

you know,they don't need forgiveness....wouldn't give that anyway..

but they are choosing their bed and now they must lie down in it..

I've said my goodbyes to them, and a lot of other "country singers" and my life hasn't suffered...infact, I have saved a lot of money not supporting people that are elitest and arrogant and self-serving, and who wouldn't be in the place they are without the likes of my money....

Don't worry about your career, Natalie. You can always be a pole dancer.

It'd have to be a telephone pole.

ROFL!!!

Some hollywoodie may hold them up for awhile; but when their inflation looses its profitability, they'll quit blowing.

I have made it this far through the thread and haven't seen this question asked:

"Do the other two agree with her and allow her to be the mouthpiece, or are they ready to choke her?"

I'd love to hear/see an interview where the others say they wish she'd kept her mouth shut. Shoot, THEY surely had an interest in their success.

Buddy Holly. Whoever hated Buddy Holly? These people truly live in an alternate universe.

Their 60 Minutes interview couldn't have helped much, either. Just heard bits of it as I was doing something else, but I think they called their fans hicks and/or rednecks.

LOL! That's Guarini territory :-D

That's Corey Clark territory. ROFLMAO!!!

What I love is that, as the Chicks' career continues to sink, Nat will become more and more bitter.
