But I did see this article somewhere, she did say she was not ready for EOY but many before heard should have been nominated like Martina and Faith.

She is speaking up for the country women and being a great role model. Oh and the girl can sing…and sing live as well.

I will not lie, Carrie is the ONLY reason I listen to Country music. I picked her as the one to win AI from her first audition, and I have been a diehard fan since. When she released JTTW, I would make all my radio presets be country stations because I thought it would be sooo cool to hear my idol Carrie on the radio for the first time! Then, hours turned into days of listening to country radio, and days turned into weeks. Soon, I not only heard Carrie, but I fell in love with other performers of country, such as Keith, Martina, Miranda, and Sugarland! And I was a country music HATER before this. Now, I love it! People can talk concert venues (which I will address later) and her “lack of performance ability” to justify why she should not be Entertainer, but goshdarn has she had an influence on country music even if she isnt selling out concerts in 10 minutes.

Which brings me to my next point – the emphasis on touring. Why, just because she doesnt sell out 40,000 seat arenas, should Carrie be denied the EOTY? Carrie is touring her butt off and she has been since freaking February. Have you seen her concert dates? Out of 30 days, she is touring for at least 25 of them, and she will be until the fall. That is freakin intense. Granted they are not huge arenas, but Carrie’s managament team itself requested that Carrie start out at the slow venues! I will try to find the article as proof, but seriously…Carrie Underwood could sell out 15000+ arenas if she wanted to. Look at her selling power at the Delaware State Fair and what not! It sold out in record time, beating all others before her!

Others have mentioned her TV exposure….and I completely agree that Carrie’s presence on national television is another reason she deserves a nomination at least. I dont want to go into it, but on this year alone she will have reached more than 100+ million people on TV through idol, SNL, fashion rocks, ACMs, CMAs, etc…

Mindboggling.

PS can we also stop the Taylor Swift comparisons? They are uncalled for…Taylor and Carrie are each their own artists doing their own thing.

When I post about Shania I only posted the facts and don’t lie. If it bothers you that Shania is a global icon and the biggest of alltime then dont’ respond.
But we are talking about EOTY calibre and for this year I would nominated many before I nominated Underwood.
Just because she has to do over 100 dates on her solo tour to make her numbers look better doesn’t make her EOTY calibre. Deal with it, she only averages 6,500 a concert and is not a top act and can’t compete with the top guys.
I have only stated the facts about her and not lied, unlike you.
If it makes you feel better to call me names and accuse me of things because you don’t like the truth then you have serious problems.
I expect you to come back here and post more dribble despite the fact that you said you won’t respond anymore.
I would be ashamed of yourself and Underwoods publicist machine who hype her up and throw stuff in the press out of context and make up new records.

If that is the case then Shania could of have bragged to the press about the thousands of records she has set and still holds all over the world and Shania at least has a right to brag because she holds the biggest records of alltime in so many countries. She can even make up thousands of more records she has set as you look back. But Shania has never bragged or asked her publicict to saturate the media with her amazng success and stats that blow everyone away.

I think you need to take a step back and stop with all this garbage because people with common sense see right through it.

Underwood is an okay vocalist who nashville writes and produces her music and she will do okay as long as they make her music and write her songs. Thats about all it is, nothing more and nothing less.

Isn’t the internet a lovely place at times? :-(

Hope this helps.

1. Being a Catholic

2. Denying her Catholic upbringing in order to sell more records to the mostly Protestant country music audience.

I also am from Oklahoma (Tulsa) and am Catholic. So I can soooo relate to the remarkable ignorance and outright bigotry that exists in the buckle of the Bible Belt . (For the record, yes, Catholics are Christians. In fact, Catholicism is the original Christian denomination. Protestantism came much later — google Martin Luther for more info.)

There is a fairly sizeable and prominent Catholic community in Tulsa, so I was mostly insulated from such prejudice. I can only imagine what it must have been like in the more rural parts such as Muskogee/Checotah.

I hope that disgusting website was wrong.

Only thing in any of your little diatribes I’ll answer Jake/Peter/and at least four others and that is my handle. I go by two handles; JarheadDad and JHD. Period. Obviously JHD is an abbreviation of JarheadDad for saving time. Unlike you I own up to what I say and I back it up in any way anyone sees fit. Funny how that works! How many boards have you been banned from now Peter? Uh Jake? No wait, it was Sue last time I think. You even switch genders. Heh! How modern of you. I know of at least six yet you keep trying. Let’s see, Keith Urban’s board, Taylor Swift’s board, Kellie Pickler’s board, Carrie’s boards (all of them), Miranda Lambert’s board, and most of CMT. But those are only the ones I know of. If I’m not mistaken they are even sick of you on Shania’s site. Now that’s truly sad. You’re lucky you can still post here but just keep it up and eventually everyone will get tired of your tripe here as well. I must admit that I do not profess to answer for Kevin and obviously he is a patient man. You’re stuff is old and tired. Not to mention boring.

I’ve got a great idea. The same one I’ve given you for a year now. Start your own blog and then you can rant and rave and call every female singer out there anything you want. Build it and they will come.

Or not! :-o

BTW, Sharkbait is female and only uses that handle on CMT. She goes by TeeSharky on Carrie’s boards. As usual you are wrong again. Go figure!

Have a great life Jakester. On whatever planet you are on! What you say from here on out is meaningless and not worth the effort to respond to.
