[post_page_title]Miranda Lambert then[/post_page_title]
Country superstar Miranda Lambert never wanted to be a popstar. She was all country – through and through. After competing in the same acclaimed talent contest in Texas that launched LeAnn Rimes, she won a recording session. She left immediately after the producers insisted Lambert sing pop music. A few years later she signed with Epic Records and her debut album, Kerosene, was a smash hit. The self-penned album set Lambert up as a prominent voice in country music.
