Picture Vision Pictures Wraps Season Five of Nashville Star

Picture Vision, with producer Jon Small at the helm, wrapped production on the fifth season of Nashville Star. This year's series captured the highest-ratings of all four previous seasons.

Jewel

With the viewing audience's record number of votes, this year's winner was Angela Hacker who beat out over 20,000 show hopefuls. Considered the one to beat from the very first episode, Angela's consistently strong performance resonated with viewers each week, earning her this season's win. She was awarded a recording contract with Warner Bros., a brand new Chevy truck and will tour this summer with other Nashville Star contestants, including the first runner-up, brother Zac Hacker. In fact, the siblings will do a duet album, thus Warner Bros. awarded two record deals.

Cowboy Troy

This year's host of Nashville Star was the three-time Grammy nominee, Jewel. The unique and authentic artist who sold over 27 million albums worldwide, was joined by country's Hick-Hop originator, Cowboy Troy who once again served as co-host.
