Gone Country with Diana DeGarmo Debuts Friday

Diana DeGarmo debuts Friday (1/25) as a contestant on the new CMT series Gone Country at 8/7c. Here's what the CMT website has to say about the show:

Known for pushing the limits of mainstream country music with the genre-bending MuzikMafia, John Rich, of the hit country duo Big & Rich, takes on his biggest challenge yet. He takes seven established performers from every realm of the entertainment and music industries and immerses them in all things country for a chance to break out as the next big country superstar. The one who is most successful at crossing over by the end of the series will have a country single produced by Rich.

The series features an eclectic cast of performers including:

Bobby Brown -- R&B singer, former member of New Edition
Carnie Wilson -- singer-songwriter, former member of Wilson Phillips and author
Dee Snider -- radio personality, lead singer Twisted Sister
Diana DeGarmo -- recording artist, Broadway actor and 2004 American Idol finalist
Julio Iglesias Jr. -- pop singer
Maureen McCormick -- singer-actor, The Brady Bunch
Sisqó -- R&B singer, former member of the group Dru Hill
