Mine too – but it seems the consensus is centered on the colt. Sad state of affairs indeed.

So move on to a label that appreciates your amazing talent and doesn’t back the wrong horse. In this race- my money is on the older seasoned mare, not the young cocky colt.

Did you guys see the ads Taylor’s label put out for Entertainer of the Year? She also put out an ad for Album of the year when her album was not eligible for consideration, since it was released outside the CMA eligibility dates. lol I laughed so hard I spilled my coffee all over the desk. She is very arrogant to include her name for EOTY when she is an opening act. lol wow. Talk about being overly aggressive to the point of nausea.

I think Carrie Underwood deserved album of the year– but she also deserved a nomination for Entertainer…She had a great year and sold out almost all her headlining shows- pluse she co-headlined with keith. A woman deserves to be nominated at least — even if they don’t win this year.

Before fans of other artists shoot me down– let me clarify. I don’t expect Carrie to win this award for several years- if ever. But I do think she deserved a nomination.. she earned that.

Trisha Yearwood was robbed, and so was Leanne Rimes. Both deserved nominations for female vocalist this year- over Martina and Taylor Swift. Taylor had the sales and hype- but not the vocal skills. She is no vocalist– and never will be. Trisha and LEanne put out great singles and albums- and while they did not have a strong of a year as Carrie did- they merited a nomination, anyway. Carrie deserves to win Female vocalist this year for sure- but I am also a trisha and leanne fan. Love martina- but this was not her year.

Why is George strait in there yet again? Do they just check off his name automatically for every award, every year, and never consider that this might not have been his year? Don’t get me wrong- He ia amazing- the King- but sometimes you have to broaden your horizons and vote for someone new for once– who maybe had a stronger year over all, like Carrie.

Poor Rascal Flats– they deserved an Entertainer nomination over George and Sugarland for sure.

Sugarland is good- but I am so sick of Stay I want to throw up. Enough already. Move on to a different song!

thank you.

And to be honest, I think this is a trend of the CMAs (and almost every other country music-related awards show) ignoring Trisha that goes back now eight years that is frustrating at best, and a scandal at worst.
