"The Buzz"

"You proved yourself every week, with a down to earth quality that has endeared everyone to you. I believe I had better start thinking about making Warner Bros. a home for you." - Tracy Gershon MORE

"I hope her original song, "Total Loss," makes it on her record. As you can tell, I'm betting Angela is going to be our fifth Nashville Star. The song, the performance, everything about her moment on stage, moved me." - Anastasia Brown MORE

"If there's anybody in this competition that can bring sexy back in a big way, it's this hottie Hacker here. Mama, you go on with your bad self cuz you're unstoppable this week." - Jeannie Mai MORE

And on Nashville Star, everyone is talking about the Hackers – the brother and sister team that are BOTH in the final stages of NS. Maybe that’s where the REAL country talent lies year. Perhaps that’s where my time will be better spent to see new country talent on TV this year. Tony Books - B93 MORE

Think Loretta Lynn's spitfire quality, Dolly Parton's mountain purity and Tammy Wynette's emotional range, then add Trisha Yearwood's lung power. She belts with front-porch fervor. - Mario Tarradell - The Dallas Morning News MORE

ANGELA HACKER NEWS

Angela wins ‘Star’
Hacker sister will receive contract with Warner Bros.

In the end, it came down the way many people hoped it would, brother versus sister.

That’s exactly what happened early in the final episode of “Nashville Star” when David St. Romain, of Baton Rouge, La., was told he received the least votes of the final three contestants.

It would be another half hour before Zac and Angela Hacker stood side by side on stage, waiting to see who would be the next Nashville star.

In the end, the nod went to the performer who consistently received the most votes, Angela Hacker. - Times Daily - MORE

Angela's First CD Available at Wal-Mart April 3!

Warner Brothers Nashville is taking a slightly different approach with a CD for the new Nashville Star, Angela Hacker. The first CD will be released on April 3, exclusively at Wal-Mart. The album will be called "The Winner Is" and will feature four tracks penned by Angela, as well as cover songs she performed on the show, and will also include a cover of the Dan Penn track, "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man," recorded by Aretha Franklin.

The album will also feature a track written by FAME recording artist James LeBlanc and a duet with her brother. Three of the originals written by Angela include "Love Me Wild," "Emotionless," and "Total Loss." Some more good news is that not only will Zac Hacker be doing a duet with Angela but he will also be doing background vocals. The idea of this CD is to get something quickly in the hands of the fans and to give Angela something to tour behind. Tracy Gershon of WBR describes it as sort of a "promo" CD.

Later in the year there will be another CD from Angela, which will be the "real" CD. Rather than rushing this one as is usually done, they will take their time in finding the right songs so that it will really define who Angela is as an artist. However there is a twist. Angela approached WBR about doing the album as a duo with her brother Zac and WBR jumped on the idea. They will be recording an album as "The Hackers."
