Chris Young is no stranger to reality TV having gotten a major career boost in 2006 by winning the "Nashville Star" competition. He does, however, see the difference between growing a career from the ground up and getting instant recognition from reality music competitions.

He sat down with Parade magazine for an interview and had this to say about reality TV versus reality.

“I think it’s definitely one of the avenues that’s become more prominent over the years. Whether you start from a TV show or you get your record deal from pounding the pavement in Nashville, there are pros and cons to both ways of doing it. It’s definitely a matter of what you do once you’re there on a record label because that’s really where a lot of the work starts.”
