I just do not think Kenny C should be nominated for a Male Vocalist award. EOTY, yes. Kenny does not have the greatest vocal chords in the industry–neither does Brad P.

Josh Turner has an exciting, different set of vocal chords. Keith is good–but not exciting (still think he’s more rock-n-roll than Country).
Gary Allan is a unique singer. I say, skip Brad & kenny and throw in josh & Gary.

My predictions for Male Vocalist Nominees (CMA):

George Strait
Brad Paisley (although I do not think he sings well, but because of his success, he’ll get a nod).
Josh Turner
Gary Allan
Keith Urban
*My pick is King George. He still reigns and one never tires of his singing.

Album of the Year: Without a doubt, TROUBADOUR.

Single/Song of the Year: I Saw God Today.

Duet: House of Cash/Geo Strait/Patti Loveless.

Entertainer of the Year: Kenny (but it should be George)

My predictions for the nominees are:

Kenny Chesney
Alan Jackson
George Strait
Keith Urban
Brad Paisley

As much as I would love to see Dierks and Josh included in this category, I think the Kings of Country (Alan and George) will knock them out. I mean they’ve both had great albums this year a number 1 singles. So those five are my picks for the noms and the win should and most likely will go to Brad.

My picks for Male Vocalist are (in order):

-Josh Turner
-Trace Adkins
-Alan Jackson
-George Strait
-Brad Paisley

—I would love to see Randy Travis or Toby Keith be nominated, but I would think Randy’s album is to new for a nomination and I don’t think Toby gets along real well with the CMA’s.

LJ,

Ronnie Dunn may very well get a nomination next year after his solo album comes out. I can’t imagine it won’t do well (perhaps he’ll sell better too?)

Leeann,

I don’t know for sure about rules but I do know that “Horizon” blocks anyone who’s won a major award from being nominated in the future. As for male vocalist, the only rule is that you had to release something within the eligibility period.

My picks are: Tim, George, Brad, Alan, and Trace…I know he’s a very darkhorse, but the man has a very distinctive voice.

I think, of those 5, Alan or Brad should win.

Probbably, Kenny or Keith will win

I can’t help but wonder if he were a solo act, would Ronnie Dunn be a regular in this category.
In other words, how many of those “Duo” awards are his “Male Vocalist” award?

Just typing outloud…. ;-)
