I got a bad vibe about this lineup 
. What's going on, is CRS just pushing the same old country music formula? 
I mean, all these artists are super talented, don't get me wrong, but it feels like we're stuck in a loop. Remember when Tim McGraw was part of this show back in the day? Now he's a legend and they're trying to revive that magic with some new faces... but what about the new sounds? 
What's happening to country music's direction? 
! the lineup is literally stacked with talented new faces in country music. I've been listening to Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" nonstop since it came out - that girl can SANG 
. and kelsey hart's new radio singles sound so fire 
i need to check them out ASAP! the fact that these artists get to perform at CRS is a total dream come true for country music fans like us 
. it's amazing how this show has been highlighting talented newcomers for years, and now we get to see what all the fuss is about 
. I mean, Josh Ross just hit No. 1 on Billboard Canada Country Airplay chart, no biggie 
, but it's still dope that he gets to share his music with top radio programmers. Meghan Patrick's been grinding out hits for years, though... maybe this show is more about the 'new faces' of country than actual new talent 
. Still, gotta admit, I'm curious about Chase Matthew and John Morgan's sets – their latest releases have some serious country cred 
. and what's up with the fact that meghan patrick is launching a headlining tour in february for her "golden child" album? shouldn't she be releasing new music first? 
. But let's get real, what's up with CRS not giving these artists a bigger platform earlier on? It feels like they're trying to save them for the last minute when they've already gained so much momentum online 
. Maybe it's time for CRS to rethink its strategy and give some of these artists more exposure sooner rather than later?
kelsey hart and meghan patrick are also bringing their A-game with their radio singles fireworks and golden child respectively 
! and have you guys heard Meghan Patrick's "Golden Child"? it's like, her voice is everything 
. the thing that gets me most excited tho is how this show is all about giving new talent a chance to shine, you know? it's like, country music is always evolving and we need more artists pushing boundaries 
!
, can't wait to see her perform live. And Kelsey Hart's got a fire track with "Fireworks", gotta get me that single ASAP 
!
I'm so stoked for Ella Langley! She's been killing it with her song "Choosin' Texas" and now she's gonna perform live at CRS? 
so like who's gonna win the award for best newcomer at CRS this year? 
! how's kelsey hart gonna compete with his sick radio singles like "Fireworks" and "Life With You"? 
!
I'm loving the diversity on this list - from Langley's Texas vibes to Patrick's Golden Child anthems... and don't even get me started on Ross's Canadian domination goals 
. Can't wait to see what all these talented folks bring to the stage! 
these country artists are gonna blow our minds! 
Ella Langley's hit single "Choosin' Texas" is fire 
Josh Ross's "Hate How You Look" is SO satisfying 
! And Josh Ross's Bud Light Presents Later Tonight tour? Can't wait to see him bring the house down 
!
then again, I remember seeing a bunch of past performers at CRS and how much I loved them... like Luke Combs and Kacey Musgraves!
