Julianne Hough: Top New Female Vocalist

Julianne Hough emerged the winner of the Academy of Country Music’s Top New Female Vocalist of 2009.
As expected, she out-distanced competitors Sarah Buxton and Ashton Shepherd in voting at GACTV.com.
Julianne is best known as a professional dancer featured on “Dancing with the Stars.”
The new season begins March 6 with boyfriend Chuck Wicks as her dancing partner. They reportedly will dance to the “Viennese Waltz.”
It is unclear what impact her decision to return to “Dancing with the Stars” will have on her scheduled country tour. Presumably, she will fulfill concert dates if her boyfriend is eliminated from the competition.
