I mean Reba, Carrie and Taylor were the only females that sold over a million copies of their albums, I just don’t get it. I know Reba has been around for a long time and has gotten tons of awards, but the fans still love her, she is going as strong as ever. I don’t think the CMA committee gives her enough credit. I mean afterall she has sold more albums in her career than any other female artist is country music awards history. My vote however goes to Carrie, she deserves it the most. Love Martina and Miranda Allsion Krauss even though I don’t understand why she is nominated does sing beautifully. But we all know that Taylor truly can not sing! She is there because she happens to be the new thing right now and is young and goodlooking, but no talent! Good luck to Carrie, Martina, Miranda and even Allison.

The ending did seem somewhat random and rushed. I just didn’t think his “positive” spin at the end was genuine or correct (correct for me, anyway.).

He sounds like he couldn’t be less interested to be talking about the CMA nominations, really – kind of the same thing you were saying yesterday, Leeann. He sounds like he’s given up on them and doesn’t want to say that for whatever reason, so he just tacked on a nice, inoffensive ending and went on his way. That’s just my reading of the piece, though – I could just be projecting myself onto him. :)

How she is not nominated, I will never know. She deserved to be nominated for Top Female. Why is Alison Krauss nominated and further more, Taylor Swift sings like a sick sparrow. But I guess it is all politics. Boo to the CMA committee!
