One of the really cool things about living in Nashville and teaching at Belmont is the connection to the music industry. Our alums read like a who's who of country music -- Brad Paisley, Tricia Yearwood, and Josh Turner are just a few of our alumni.
Our alumnae Melinda Doolittle came very close to winning "American Idol" back in 2007.
Our latest sensation is 2007 Belmont graduate Ricky Braddy, who just made the final 36 on this year's American Idol. Part of his appeal is the "Braddy Dance." Go to his official site and see several Belmont people "doing the Braddy". My personal favorite is video #46 -- this is Jane Warren, conductor of our Women's Choir.
Why is there not a Dr. Cornwall Braddy Dance?
nice ho-ho
