Country Universe Staff: 2008 CMA Predictions
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008
This afternoon, the Country Universe staff is following up last night’s personal picks with our actual predictions about who will win tonight. Check back tonight at show time to join the live blog and mock us for our defective divinations. Less
than four hours until showtime!
Entertainer- Kenny Chesney- Kevin, Leeann, Blake
- Brad Paisley – Dan
- George Strait
- Sugarland
- Keith Urban
Kevin: BMG has to throw their weight behind either Chesney or Paisley. My hunch is they’ll back Chesney for Entertainer and Paisley for Male Vocalist.
_
Leeann: It’s been Chesney all this time and not much has changed to make me think it won’t be Kenny again this year.
_
Blake: Chesney remained steady on the concert trail and earned three #1 singles in the past year. This would be his fourth win, tying Garth Brooks for the most ever in the Entertainer lineup.
_
Dan: It seems somewhat foolish to bet against a Chesney repeat, but I just have a nagging feeling that the favor will be thrown in Paisley’s direction this year by voters looking to honor someone new.
