CMT's newest half-hour special, Karaoke Dokey features four contestants who compete in a battle to see who does the best impersonation of a country music star.

These aspiring Shanias belt it out in front of a live audience and panel of judges including comedienne Etta May (CMT's Comedy Stage), Danielle Peck (Big Machine recording artist) and Hazel Smith (Southern Fried Flicks).
