KT Oslin as Lucy...
...has got to be one of the biggest gits in movie history.
If I didn't have it on good authority that Nashville folks are lovely, friendly people, I would have taken it from KT's performance that they all have chips on their shoulders and lack any humour whatsoever!
Because I get the feeling that the Lucy character was supposed to be some kind of Mother Hen/salt of the earth figure.
It seems, to get into her wall of fame, you have to write simpering introspective ballads because, as we all know, "novelty" songs such as "Achy Breaky Heart" don't make millions of dollars!
I didn't care for Miranda much as I found her to be arrogant (nice legs though) but Lucy smacked her out of the ballpark. She just seemed to delight in (obviously) deliberately not picking Miranda for her stinking performance nights.
She just seemed to be a cold, awkward miseryguts all the time with a look in her eyes of distain and resentment.
But the bit that had me rolling around laughing was the scene where Miranda seems to be astonished that Pam Tillis and some dude are jamming at The Bluebird (I don't know much about country music or musicians but I assume that Pam Tillis and this dude are very well known, successful artists).
Lucy then explains to Miranda that she "lets" them practice/rehearse at The Bluebird from time to time...absolute comedy gold. She says it without even the slightest hint of irony which only suggests that she is dry as sandpaper, humourwise, or very, very arrogant!
Oh and the rule about not passing demo tapes to customers?
Yes because we couldn't possibly have our staff actually getting the break they desire or anything like that! Heaven forbid. People go to The Bluebird hoping to get their stuff heard, thinking it's a gateway to success, only to have Lucy scupper your progress like a roadblock.
Failed artist syndrome ahoy!....What a git.
