Julianne Hough sang for the critics at lunch today.

"Wait a minute," Mr. and Mrs. TV Viewer are saying. "Isn't she a dancer? Didn't she guide speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno to victory in Dancing With the Stars and then turn around and do the same with Hélio Castroneves?"

Yes, but she's a singer, too. And her current song, which mentions a "two-ton Ford," or maybe it's a "two-toned Ford," is No. 18 on some Billboard chart. I know, not fair.

Much more demure on stage today than on DWTS, she sang about an itty-bitty town and rain and a train and asking her boyfriend to hide the matches, or maybe it was the mattress. You expect somebody whose favorite song is "Don't Stop Believing" from Journey to know this stuff?

Julianne will host CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock on Sept. 8 on ABC, along with Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler, and if that title makes any sense to you, post a comment explaining it.

ABC also has the Country Music Awards in November, and she'll probably win half a dozen of them, too, while most 19-year-old girls are struggling to get a job at Starbucks or figuring how to vamp their way through the required freshman math course in college.
