OMG, I know, it was very distracting but her voice is so heavenly it didn't matter but that's why dress rehearsals are important.

WHatever heppened to Reba McEntire BTW? I know shes still around, but I havent heard much from her lately.

[wondergirl9847]

I was trying to watch this to record Keith, AND watch My Name is Earl/The Office. Whew...talk about running back and forth from the kitchen TV to the living room. Sheesh. LOL

Anyways, Keith's been having voice problems, he needs a rest ASAP. He's been touring forever. Poor lil guy.

Dolly and Elton. No, just....no. I love Miss Dolly to death, but NEVER EVER sing with Elton again. That sounded horrid.

I heard they cut off Alabama's speech. Jerkwads! Wrap THIS up. They are friggin' legends of country! They did that to Sinatra too!

Gretchen winning female vocalist of the year...BAH. She's a one-trick pony. Martina deserves it every frickin' year, if you ask me.

These awards were kind of blah....until Keith won Male Vocalist and EOTY, that is. HEHE!! Don't know HOW he didn't win Album of the Year, because Be Here has had like 4 #1 singles (soon to be 5, I'm sure). Lee Ann...whatev.

I cannot believe she won. I almost upchucked my flakie when they said her name, WTF? Why do I hate her? She's common white trash like myself, yet I hate her because of that

Matter-of-fact, Gretchen Wilson & Big & Rich were to headline an arena show at the OKC Ford Center about a year or so ago and only about 3,000 tickets were sold, The concert was reportedly cancelled due to poor tickets sells. (They both have since played here opening for other artists and even then the reviews were less than positive for both.)

On the otherhand George Strait played the Ford Center and completely sold out tickets (Around 21,000 seats) within 3 hours! The only other concerts to have numbers anywhere as near as George Strait were Paul McCartney (14,000 est), Fleetwood Mac (16,000 est) & local yokel Toby Keith (12,000 est).

If you're not traditional country, you aint s**t in this state.

to quote a phrase (Cant recall where that came from ), Cant stand her...

Deb said that G.Upchucks song "Redneck Woman" doesnt represent her, And that song is rather insulting to those women who are truly "Southern gals".

Upchuck is from Illinois, Sorry...Illinois is NOT redneck country (Sure as hell aint Southern), try going to my hometown of MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA (yes, Muskogee as in "Okie from Muskogee" by Merle Haggard) and try that posuer redneck hick honey attitude and watch how fast yer ass gets pummeled and/or hucklebucked by real redneck women

That'd be an interestiong catfight. MEEEOOWWW!!

Alison Krauss should have won Female Vocalist of the Year, but she wasn't nominated. That is soooooo wrong. I did say Martina deserved it every year, but that's only because she was nom'd. Alison needs to be nom'd.

Just curious, do the radio stations play Shania?

she is played only on the Clear Channel Country stations...I rarely, if at all, hear her on regular country stations (ie-Traditional country station)

[GypsySorcerer]

I watched some of it. I'm with everyone who can't stand Gretchen Wilson. Aren't her 15 minutes up yet? I was very happy for Keith Urban.

[chiliD]

Well, I'm a BIG fan of all the MuzikMafia artists (Big & Rich, Cowboy Troy, Gretchen Wilson, et al).

I'd rather hear them than anything on a rock or pop station these days. It's time to rattle Nashville's cage.
