I watched it. It will be re-broadcast on CMT on Thanksgiving Day.
Most of the performances were good. Sara Evans sounded a little hoarse and was having a case of Jessica Simpson arms. Martina McBride was gorgeous as ever. Faith and Tim sounded good and looked good, though Mr. McGraw has packed on a few lbs lately...and I wasn't digging his scarf. Lee Ann Womack looked good and sounded great, tho she needs to put on one less layer of makeup and wear a bodyslimmer. Dierks Bentley was awesome. I love him. Gretchen Wilson gets on my nerves, she was boring. Sugarland was good, but geez, the lead singer looked like she was having sex and I can only take her voice in small doses. When she came back out to sing with Bon Jovi, I was like, oh god, not again, but it was a good song. I wish Alabama had performed. Their songs are great memories from my childhood with my Dad. I was shocked that the African-American man that basically changed the name to the Grand Ole Opry was just NOW inducted into the Hall of Fame...kinda strange to me. Glen Campbell looked like **** and his wife was like my age. Keith Urban is amazingly gracious, gorgeous, talented beyond belief. I love love love Dolly and her rendition of Imagine, but something was off with her and Elton. It was almost like they didn't know each other's parts, but good. Definitely not the climax that Dolly is known for at country award shows. I feel like I've left someone out, but that's all I can think of at the moment.
