REVIEW: April Kry dazzles in “Beauty Queen”

By: Alina Tichacek There’s no point mincing words, so let’s get straight to the point: “Beauty Queen” absolutely blew me away. I have no doubt April Kry is going to be country’s next big superstar.

If Kry keeps churning out songs like these, I wouldn’t be surprised if Underwood became not jus
