Jalon Watts – ” . . . gets flipped no crap . . . get flipped crap”

Me: I have never heard of flipping crap, but I will attempt to use this phrase at least 3 times tomorrow.

It’s really funny, how Underwood gets flipped no crap about winning 3 times now, but the sensational McBride get flipped crap about winning in 2004, and also tying McEntire for most wins. “Eleven,” You might be right about CMA only opening about 3 stpots each year, but McBride deserves everyone of the nominations she gets. I don’t believe CMA should give 3 open spots for these new-comers, when they have got to earn the nomination, more than just come in here, sing a song and win. I think that is bogus. McBride has simply been in this business for more than 15 years, and is not appreciated enoughfrom ACM, so I believe that CMA should give McBride the most awards for this category. Plus, McBride is the only Female Vocalist that have songs with so much heart and deepness, that they ca ake you cry. Sure a good love song is great, but that’s all Swift sings. McBride experements, with all different types of songs, and that’s why she is not only a unique performer, but she is also a terrific vocalist. She has proved that year after year. Give me an example of who should have been nominated instead of McBride. Maybe instead, yo should write CMA a letter about expanding the categor to 6 people, if you are going to gripe about them only leaving 3 spots open every year. Think this over while you are writing me back, and maybe it will come to you, the commenly known sense that McBride is a fantastic performer, and is in no way “over-rated.”

i think carrie is a lock for this the only thing that could stop her to win this is that she would have 3 cma female vocalist in a row and that would put her in the elite i dont think tha cma are quit ready for that

very good case Gavin. plus she broke the record with her first seven singles all going #1 and possibly 8 with JAD. CU or ML would be great but pretty sure it will Be CU with all her acheivments this year, on our radio stations they are calling her the new generation queen of country, the tide turns quickly in this biz.

If you list all the accomplishments for Miss Underwood during the eligibility period it really isn’t a contest. I think that Carrie’s domination of the category last year makes this year a little more interesting because some of the other nominees, Taylor Swift especially, closed the gap commercially and had successful years in their own right. But how many artists including the men can claim over two million units sold, three number one singles (co-writes), already playing to over 700,000 fans during her co headliner and her own Carnival Ride tour and she still has 51 dates remaining and to top that off she becomes currently the youngest member of the Grand Ole Opry. Not to mention being the lone representative of the genre in numerous television specials and charity events through out the year. Did I miss anything? For someone else to walk away with the FVA other than Miss Underwood would be the biggest upset in CMA history. For me it’s a walk.

I agree, “Just a Dream” is really a highlight for Carrie.
Going out on a limb here… I think she gets it this year. ;-)

I think the only way that Lambert wins is if the label throws its votes behind her instead of Underwood, and I don’t see that happening.

Even if they did, Underwood has a lot more support among the publishing companies because she writes her own material, but the non-affiliated voters could go heavily for Lambert. I think Lambert’s the only one who could conceivably win other than Underwood, but it’s not very likely.

Jonathan,

While I’d love for Lambert to win, I don’t have much inclination that she will. So, I think those of us who want her to win aren’t saying that we actually think that it’s “a strong possibility.” I think Underwood will take it.
