you guys are funny! I’m really looking forward to Carrie doing Just A Dream. A Military wife who lost her husband will be introducing her. Also, i can’t wait to see Miranda and Darius.

Since I didn't do an official preview editorial this year, here are my final predictions: Entertainer: Paisley. Male Vocalist: Paisley. Female Vocalist: Underwood. Vocal Group: Little Big Town. Vocal Duo: Sugarland. Album: Good Time, Alan Jackson. Single: "Stay," Sugarland. (Though I'm tempted to go with "I Saw God Today" on a weird hunch). Song: "I Saw God Today." (A "solo" female songwriter has won this award exactly twice... Nettles is fighting strong historical precedent, but I'll gladly be wrong here). Event: Strait / Chesney. Video: "Waitin' On a Woman." Musician: Douglas.

I have to admit you had me feeling really guilty for a second there, Kevin.

I read that Lambert is doing “More Like Her” on the show, which would be the first time she slowed things down on an awards show.

Okay, I’m officially looking forward to this thing now!

Yeah, Lynn, you’re just trying to score some points with the boss!

I really, reallly hope Miranda does “More Like Her” too, just in the way you describe it.

Lynn,

I like the way you think! Methinks we should have a little running tally as the show goes on.

Okay, so I missed this one. I’m going with Kevin’s picks down the line. Not that you guys went out on a limb (or could) with any of them!

I’m hoping Miranda pulls out the same acoustic performance of “More Like Her” that she did in her recent concert. It was beautiful and incredibly effective. Just her and a guitar.
