Mine are;

Brad
Alan
George
Keith
Blake

Blake could be replace with Darius as well they both had a very strong year.

Is Darius eligable for New Artist?

I’d pick, based on no critical guesses, but only personal preference:

Brad Paisley
Keith Urban’
Blake Shelton
Alan Jackson
Jamey Johnson

My picks:

Brad Paisley (favorite to win)
Keith Urban
Kenny Chesney
George Strait

Toby Keith could sneak in as well.

I think they are both very interesting vocalists. I know that many critics feel that their work is sub-par, but I find some of the others (Paisley and Keith Urban) to be hugely overrated.

I am usually in synch with the critical consensus on artists, but with Bentley and Shelton, I often feel that I am alone in thinking that they are producing good stuff.

Should: Johnson, Paisley, Blake Shelton, Strait, Urban

This is the weakest collective output in the Male Vocalist category in years. Johnson and Paisley are the only two that really made a strong case for inclusion, and Paisley will pick it up for the third straight year. Urban’s album was underwhelming, but none of the other candidates made a strong stand at radio or retail. That new guard of Bentley, Josh Turner, Joe Nichols, etc. really dissipated, didn’t it?
