• John Rich Quote

  "I personally believe it's between Gabe and Melissa at this point. I would be happy to produce either one of them. If Shawn sneaks up and takes it away from them, I think there's massive potential with her as well. But if you're asking me as a betting man, I think it's Gabe and Melissa and I think it's a horse race. I think it's too close to call."Reality TV World: John Rich: Nashville Star Title...
