@ Craig R. As a Black woman who loves country music, you ought to be ashamed of your statement. Do you really think for one moment Jamie Foxx see’s himself as “the new Ray Charles”? Do you really think he want’s to be a “Black country icon”? Get real. He’s doing just fine with his music and film career. Your comments are disengineous to him and any true Strait fan.

Country is not an exclusive white domain. I thought Jamie’s rendition of it was different, he took it to a whole nother level and put an R&B twist to it. Jack ingram gave another of my favorites a little rock, LeeAnn Rimes looked just gawd damn awful, don’t care for Taylor Swift but she did the song justic and I agree with everyone Keith Urban surprised me. I blogged about the even ton my blog – raggy dee ann

Maybe some of you need to check out Rhythm Country and Blues a CD that paired off country singers with Soul and Blues singers. Aaron Neville was Paiared with Trisha Yearwood, George Jones & BB King, Little Richard & Tanya Tucker and the Best pairing or at least the best song was Travis Tritt & Patti Labelle…other’s too and all put together by Don Was.

You tell me Travis Tritt doesn’t have any soul in him. Country music is music with a lotta soul.

I thought Sugarland started of the show great, what a performance, but Keith was my fav, yes I am a big fan but to here him sing Marty Robbins was amazing, in my book he stole the show, I think these fan polls are getting all the younger kids to vote, and that is why people like Taylor Milly to name a few are getting awards, ETOY, should go to an artists you reall interacts with the people, draws great crowds, and loyal fans, also great songs, one that can fill in and do most anything, all in all it was a great show

“I don’t have any respect for the Country Music industry anymore. Money and Marketing and Popularity and Politics are what it’s all about now!!”

gail … with all due respect, are you THAT new to country music?
It has been like that for YEARS and is not at all unique to country music. Welcome to the world of showbiz!

Well Razor…she actually got an “extra special award” at the ACMs for bringing in a younger audience to country and I’ve actually read articles asking the question..Is Taylor Swift the savior of country music? You can see articles like this in magazines or google. Now, razor, you’re in the know!

I have yet to hear Taylor Swift sing a country song, but by golly she is put on a pedestal and considered the saviour of country music and I don’t understand that.

She is?? That’s news to me.
