Preparation

Kristen feels it’s kind of daunting being a country artist while looking the way she does. But she’s out to prove that you can be different and succeed in country music. She’ll be singing “Stay” by Sugarland, and Shakira notes that when she sings the word “cryin’”, she sounds like she’s trying to hide. I don’t disagree, but I think that kind of helps the performance, in a way. Although Shakira might have been agreeing there, I’m not sure. She’s just stoked to have the only country artist not on Team Blake.
