Blake Shelton will appear on Nashville Star on June 30th

Multi-Platinum star Blake Shelton will stop back to Nashville Star, the show where he appeared as a judge last year to perform his hit single, "Home."

"Family week" is the theme for the week, which features the Top 9 finalists, Gabe Garcia, Pearl Heart, Alyson Gilbert, Ashlee Hewitt, Coffey, Laura & Sophie, Shawn Mayer, Melissa Lawson, and Tommy Stanley. Be sure to watch the two-hour special at 9:00 pm ET on NBC. The show will re-air on CMT on July 4th from 9:00 - 11:00 pm ET.

I will post my recap of the show on Wednesday, July 2, 2008. Read my previous recaps each week, and view the Top 12 finalist's bios where I list the songs they performed each week, and you can find out which finalists are still singing, and which have been eliminated.
