Nashville Star Winner Melissa Lawson Brings Home A Toyota Tundra!
Monday night as crew members of the show of the sixth season of Nashville Star pushed a big red Toyota Tundra pick-up truck onto the stage during a commercial break, the two remaining contestants stood, hoping to hear their name called by host Billy Ray Cyrus. Would it go to Tex-Mex electrician-turned-musician Gabe Garcia or Mellisa Lawson, a wife and mother of five boys? As it turns out, Lawson, 32, got the keys to the truck and the ticket to a recording contract with Warner Bros. Nashville. Garcia was disappointed about the pick-up, telling PEOPLE magazine after the show, “I really wanted that truck. I was already thinking about how I was going to jack it up and trick it out.”
Still, Garcia was relatively satisfied with his second place finish and thrilled by the experience of competing on Nashville Star. “It’s been a great ride, from beginning to end,” he said after the show, still picking strips of silver confetti out of his hair. “But I’m looking forward to getting back to my own life for a few days. I haven’t made my own bed or driven myself in two months.”
Lawson plans to hand the keys to the Tundra over to husband Rick Lawson, who has been holding down the fort at home in Arlington, Texas, with their tribe of five boys — aged 11 months to 8 years — while Mom sung her way to the top of the pack of 12 acts vying to be the newest Nashville Star. “He has been driving a crummy little truck for so long so we could buy a car for me that was big enough to haul all the boys around,” she told PEOPLE after the show. “He deserves this truck!”
