    How about Joey and Rory?

    Or maybe Junior Brown? "'Cuz yer wanted by the poleece, and my wife thinks yer dead!"

    And yes, I am serious.

    To be honest, I am not really a fan of TBP. I saw them open for Tim and they were just OKAY. Luke also opened for Tim and he was the only person I was excited to see, but he has already opened for Martina.

    I would *LOVE* to see Keith Urban on tour with her! I LOVE LOVE LOVE him...but...I don't know if she would do it. I can only hope.

    I am not much on new acts, except for Luke, but...I would really like to see Darius Rucker in concert, so it would be awesome to me if Martina would tour with him.

    My dream finally came true on 10-3-08 in Charlotte, NC and 4-30-10 in Greensboro, NC I finally met Martina!!!:)

    Like people already said, I would go see Martina no matter what!
    But it'd be cool if Lauren Alaina opened or Lori McKenna! Steel Mangolia would be an awesome opening act too!
    Take my hand, together we can do it. I'm gonna love you through it!

    Heidi, I think that a performer like Martina needs someone like Faith Hill to tour with. They are good friends and shows would sellout in hours!!!

    I have grown to appreciate Faith and would love to see a whole show of hers!! But, alas, i am so selfish..i dont want Martina to do a co-headlining tour.. i jus want Martina- with, perhaps, an opening act that is jus starting out or kinda established..

    I would say Sunny Sweeny and then LBT. I know LBT has done it before but they are the best. But they are actually more of a headline band now.

    Actually I think Martina should be like Dolly and have NO opening act. Really what's the point :) Martina is enough.

    Not that it would affect me but I think Lauren Alaina would be a good choice.

    While I agree with you, Ally, I also think on the flip side of that coin, that it's completely beneficial to tour with another big name. Not only would it be easier to sell out big shows, but it would expose a whole other mass of fans to Martina!

    Not sure if you went to any of the Martina and Alan Jackson dates when they had a tour...but that left a bad taste in my mouth. They were billed as equal and Alan thought he was top dog (IMO). I enjoy it more when Martina (whom we all know is #1) is billled as the headliner.

    After extensive pondering and mulling this over...I spent nearly 3 minutes on this...I was thinking it'd be cool if Martina toured with Mr George Strait- i finally watched him on his last tour after leavn 6 shows of LAW/REBA/GEO after Law's M & G and i gotta say- he is smoooth.............and dang good-looking too! He makes me wanna switch back to the old team for a minute or so...

    Or Whitney Duncan would be cool........LOVE her!! Totally rootin for that chick on Survivor this season!
