rising star

Country newcomer Sarah Darling's time on ABC 'Rising Star,' has come to an end after she was eliminated in the first week of duels. Her version of Lee Ann Womack's 'I Hope You Dance,' wasn't enough to keep her in the competition. But Darling still came out ahead after Brad Paisley invited her to sing at the Opry with him this week.

Nashville has heard of Sarah Darling, but she may soon become a household name after appearing on the new reality singing competition 'Rising Star.' Her performance of Kacey Musgrave's 'Merry Go Round' earned her more than the 70% of the viewers votes to move on and plenty of support from the country music world, including Rising Star judge Brad Paisley.

For Fox, it's American Idol. For NBC, it's The Voice. Now, it's ABC's turn with "Rising Star." Brad Paisley joins Ludacris, Kesha, and Josh Groban for the newest singing competition. This show is unlike anything you've ever experienced. While other shows have a "Results Show" and the voting doesn't begin til the end, this show is live from start to finish and YOU help judge! Re
