[Photo: Facebook] As I wrote about yesterday, Jo Dee Messina didn't make the cut on Dancing With The Stars, despite having met with T.V. bosses last month. Now Jo Dee explains…
Sad face. I was so excited to hear that Jo Dee Messina was in talks to join Dancing With The Stars. Unfortunatley, it just wasn't meant to be, at least…
I don't think I've ever heard anyone come right out and say they're in talks to appear on Dancing With The Stars without being asked. Usually there's this whole veil of secrecy and the only way you get an inkling of who might be on the show is when a secret source spreads the news to TMZ or Perez Hilton.
No veil of secrecy here. Jo Dee Messina decided honesty was the best policy and came right out and told fans that she's been to LA to talk with the Dancing With The Stars people.

For those who don’t know by now, I am an avid watcher of
ABC’s ‘Nashville’. While it is rather sudsy at times, its relationship to

From a press release:
Jo Dee Messina has garnered a reputation for being fiercely independent, honest, determined and driven. The multi-platinum, award-winning country singer/songwriter is now paving a new path with her "My time. Our music." campaign.
For the first time in her successful 18-year music career, JO DEE is free to make the album she wants. While grateful for the support of her previous record label, she is looking ahead to this new chapter in her career and will release a new full-length album with the people's help through Kickstarter.com. Fans worldwide can be a part of the "My time. Our music." movement that begins today (5/24) at www.kickstarter.com/projects/2010853438/jo-dee-messinas-new-album.
Well tell us how you really feel, Jo Dee. I love some good drama and this pretty much fits that bill. Jo Dee Messina posted a sweet little note regarding Chris Young…
