Personally, I think the Chicks put themselves in the position to get kicked below the belt. Maguire’s comments on Reba before the 2006 ACM’s were pathetic, and now that I’ve thought about what happen, I seriously think Maines was pandering to the British audience. I no longer really take these comments seriously.

That Johnny Cash was was sung by Jason Aldean, Dillon.

Underwood is an entertaining person…This interest having very little to do with her singing skill set. Sitting there with jaw dropped as the already “going awkward” acceptance speech started rolling into the “Oh my gosh, Ms Underwood!”Please try to save yourself by closing your mouth as quickly as possible! Yikes! “Just stop talking”. “It’s not going so well.” How ’bout just trying to sound gracious and genuine by offering a veclempt, “Thank You”. Thank your producer…Thank country music fans…Thank American Idol…Thank God, if you’re so inclined, Carrie. But for Pete’s sake, don’t finish with, “I’m so glad I’m in this format”. “Format”? Whoa! The look on the faces of the attendies that undeniably communicated, “Holy botched acceptance speech, Bat Man”! “Did she just say”, “I’m so glad I’m in this FORMAT”???…As camera panned the audience of her peers, this mass look of bewilderment was followed by something resembling applause, but the physical action of putting one’s hands together in honor of the award was encapsulated with an air of ,”I’m not convinced that I should be offering applause”. At that point they were all just trying to process if they actually heard her correctly. As their hands came together in half-hearted reaction, they were all reflecting on the odd “acceptance speech”. They thought to themselves, “She just referred to our wholesome, patriotic, Coke-float, apple pie lovin’ community of music makers as, “Format”? Why, yes. She did indeed. Her words, delightfully Freudian, “I’m so glad I’m in this format”, oozed the reality of her agenda with regard to her involvement. Aren’t we all just so fortunate that she has chosen the country music “format” for her creative endeavors? *snickeringalittle*… I’m bettin’ Ms. Underwood is wishin’ she had a “do-over” on that.

Who was that asshole who sang a song about “blasting out to Johnny Cash” and thereby connected himself to our Immortal Hero? That disrespectful egomaniacal dipshit has no right to blaze Cash’s name behind himself at the awards. Fuck That man.

Wow. All of you people critizing this show, sitting on your couch, looking for something to complain about, GET A LIFE! I seriously, CAN NOT believe you feel you have a right, or a justified reason to sit there and bash everything that has gone on to this show.

Face the facts, chic, TIME’S CHANGE and music changes with it. I bet die-hard southern rockers think modern southern rock isn’t what it used to be and is an insult to the genre. Suck it up, or DO something about it yourself. You think you can play or sing real ‘country’ music? You want to start your own label and only sign those that are ‘real country? Go right ahead, but don’t sit on your soap box critizing this stuff unless you plan to get off your ass and do something about it. Gesh…who elected you queen of country?

Guess I’m glad I missed it. Shame that Big & Rich didn’t get the award. They’re really good.

Lovely comment about Gretchen after all your talking about trashing women and such. Female country artists have it hard enough without it being a “mine is better then yours” attitude.

What’s the fuss? The argument about taste level at CMT was settled when they made “Dukes of Hazzard” reruns a regular part of the schedule. It ain’t irony if it is every day, no matter how they spin it.

Today, this very hour, most of country music is programmed for aging idiots and former butt rockers. You can try, but I don’t think it’s worth arguing over anymore. This will turn around but not for a little while yet. Pick a sub-genre and hang in there. Many of us lived through the Urban Cowboy days and this too shall pass.

You can start the reversal process by ignoring CMT completely. They will get the message.
