7/20/2007 Stephen L. Betts It's only been four years since Miranda Lambert broke into country music as a contestant on the 2003 season of USA Network's Nashville Star, but now she's taking on judging duties on another reality show. ABC has announced that Miranda is one of three industry pros who will decide which of the six hopefuls on ABC's Six Degrees of Martina McBride will achieve their dream of a shot at country music stardom. Miranda will join Asleep at the Wheel's Ray Benson, and Tennessean celebrity columnist Beverly Keel on the two-hour special set to air July 30. "I feel like I've grown up," Miranda tells The Pueblo Chieftain. "There's a lot more personality in my writing now because I've actually lived through a lot more things. I've been on the road for two years. I've been in relationships. With everything that's happened in my life, having an album out, going on tour, I think it's really changed me as a person and as a writer." Miranda's sophomore album, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, went to No. 1 on Billboard's country album chart, and is currently still in the Top 20.
