Insults flowing from someone with a lame sitcom on the WB? We're not sure how seriously the Dixie Chicks can take criticisms from Reba McEntire, but this country catfight appears to be gaining momentum.
The red-haired singer says she's "very disappointed" in the group for comments its made about the country music insutry, along with wel-publicized comments about President Bush.
Martie Maguire, one third of this controversial trio, told Time magazine the singers don't care very much. They prefer to attract fans who "will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc changer with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith ... We don't want those kinds of fans."
Snaps, yo. In response, Reba defended her field and those within it.
"I've never turned my back on country music," she told the CMT network. "So when somebody talks bad about my music, my family, that does not set well with me. And when you bite the hand that feeds you, I just don't think that's very nice."
Reba also said she was "very glad" the comments about her and Keith were made public because "I was ready to say that because I hope they realize that they're not doing themselves any favors."
Now, about that sitcom ...

IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY, IT WAS REBA MCINTIRE MAKING RUDE COMMENTS ABOUT THE DIXIE CHICKS WHEN SHE HOSTED THE COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS. I THINK OTHER COUNTRY MUSIC ARTISTS SHOULD KEEP THEIR COMMENTS TO THEMSELVES. THAT'S WHAT THEY THOUGHT THE CHICKS SHOULD HAVE DONE RIGHT??? COUNTRY RADIO STATIONS NOT PLAYING THE DIXIE CHICKS MUSIC HA HA WHO LISTENS TO COUNTRY MUSIC STATIONS ANYWAY I HAPPEN TO LOVE THE DIXIE CHICKS MUSIC AND FEEL THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO THEIR OWN OPINIONS LET IT GO!!!!!!!!!1

Last I heard this was a country with Free Speech. I think both the Dixie Chicks and
Reba had a right to their opinion and so does everyong else. Let's not let any President, present or in our future, take that away from the United States of America citizens.

The Dixie Chicks are great and so is Reba. They used to admire each other; I hope they put the politics behind them and do an album together.
It must gall the phony Bushmen (a shrinking number, now THEY are the despised minority but we still have to defend their right to be stupid and mean)---The Dixie Chicks told the truth before it was fashionable---just like Muhammed Ali and Dr. King---winning all the Grammys is sweet and just vindication.

The 'Dixie Chunks' music smells as if you just blew your chunks...I have heard better sounds when a group of old men at a nursing home are passing flattus!!!

Before "superstar" Reba goes shootin' off her mouth about the Chicks, she needs to go back few years to her tits showing through her dress. Is it okay to expose yourself when it helps your own CD sales? Crush 'em, crack 'em and burn 'em - Reba's CDs are trash 'cause that country girl is just another right-wing, capitalistic, Bush-espousing devil in angels clothing.

I like some of dixie chicks songs and I love reba's songs but I dont think that I will be buying anymore of dixie chicks. They are nothing but trouble with a capital T and they need to think about where they came from and they will never be as big as Reba as.

i have been a fan of both the chicks and reba for years but i have to say i have had my fill of the chicks. they seem to look for trouble where ever they are and while they are preaching peace they are doing just the opposite by cause constant discord with everyone around them.
