I like your blog, but can you please cut out the gratuitous Brooks & Dunn bashing? It’s like every fifth post. B&D last three albums are better than almost everything you celebrate here. Yes, much better than “Some Hearts.” Maybe they bore you, but can you try to control this Tourette’s Syndrome you seem to have about them?

I’m thrilled for Brad Paisley. I actually missed that award and DUo of the year, but I knew Brooks and Dunn got that one. I figured I’d be able to come here to find out what i missed and I was right. Glad to see Brad finally earn the honor he deserves so much.

Vince Gill had a good perfromance, a song from “The Rockin’ Record”

Kenny Chesney takes the big one, a deserved honor. As award shows go, this was was okay – I’ve sem both better and worse.

One thing that royally steams me is the number of off-camera awards given. At one time , the ACM’s Pioneer Award was second in prestige to the Entertainer of the Year. Now it’s not even mentioned by any of the presenters. Similarly, the CMA’s have reduced the focus on the CMHOF. Shame on both organizations for their total shortsightedness in slighting what should be their most important award

Good performance by Tim McGraw

Carrie seems to be racking up he awards tonight. It really has been too easy as the female vocalist category is in a down year o she really hasn’t had much competition based on recent output. MAybe next year

The new Faith Hill song made its debut tonight . Whoopee – it will sell to her fans but if it is to find a mass audience she will need to draw it from non-country audiences. More of the melodramatic crap she’s been singing for the last decade, only this was fairly weak material

Say what you will about the tacky attire of Toby’s background singers, Toby himself always sings well. Rodney Atkins performed well, also.

The blonde female singer for Little Big Town needs to find a new thrift shop to patronize. She is the worst dressed female performer I’ve seen in ages. She’s not terribly pretty but she could look a whole lot better

With a couple of Carlene Carter-type turnarounds the Strait-Underwood thing would almost work.

I’m not sure why the producers of these shows think they need Hollywood types and outsiders to pair up with the country elite. At least John Legend did no damage to the Brooks & Dunn performance – he didn’t add anything, but he didn’t subtract anything either

The sound mix on Paisley’s performance was simply terrible. The vocal mix was too cold (low) and you could barely hear the steel guitar, although everything else was overpowering the vocals. Whoever set this up deserves to be hung, drawn and quartered.

I thought that “Give It Away” should win, I just didn’t think it would win. Apparently the group picked “Whispering Bill” to do the speaking for them – I have no problem with that

Miranda Lambert’s outfit may have given her career a big boost – instead of appearing tough, she appeared sexy , and as we know, sex sells

Little Big Town is incredibly mediocre – I have no idea why they are so popular. I don’t like Rascal Flattts but I understand their appeal
