The remote auditions took place from August 10 to October 28, 2020 in 50 states plus Washington, D.C. as well as a number of open call auditions, and from these the producers selected the contestants who can then audition in front of the judges.
“Paint Me a Birmingham” is a song written by Buck Moore and Gary Duffy. It was concurrently released by American country music artists Ken Mellons and Tracy Lawrence, whose versions entered the country charts within one week of each other. Lawrence’s was the more successful of the two, reaching #4 in May 2004 and becoming his first Top 5 country hit since “Lessons Learned” in April 2000.
