I watched the first hour because there was nothing else on that interested me. Then on hour two, I checked Bionic Woman a litttle here and there. At ten, I don't CSI NY for anything, but I managed to get all of the winners and checked them off in my TV Guide.
Funny, TV Guide made their picks in this week's mag. They only got two out of five right.
For Male Vocalist, they were expecting Strait to get it, but it was Brad Paisley. I kind of like Brad, and a lot more than Strait. For Female Vocalist the picked Underwood. No surprise there, she didn't really have much competition considering the others have not had much success this year in comparison. They also got Single of the Year right as well with Before He Cheats. That to me was a no-brainer. For Album of the Year, they picked Brad, so would I, but it went to Strait. Finally for EOTY they picked Brad, but Chesney got it. I like Kenny sometimes, but I don't get him getting this award so much.
As far as the rest goes this is my take. Horizon Award? I know you all think Swift is the next Faith Hill, but to me she has a wimpy voice and I don't know, for some reason she just doesn't do anything for me, sorry. My favorite of the Horizon nominees was Jason Aldean. I didn't know what the song was, but it rocked. It had some real gut music.
Vocal Group? Rascal Flatts is okay. I really enjoyed Alison's number.
Vocal Duo? I am so glad for Sugarland. Nettles has one the nicest and most powerful voices in country music. I love how she gets that southern drawl in her singing.
Song of The Year? It always amazes me how Strait gets song of the year for one I've never heard in my life.
More power to him I guess. In my opinion, Carrie "got cheated".
Musical Event? It sucks, but then it didn't surprise me either. Reba and Kelly Clarkson should have won it. When you look at the quality of all of the nominees songs, it's easy to see which one was the best, but the "good ole' boys are back again.
Video of the year? I think that was the right one. I give Brad credit for his videos. He always seems to come up with unique ones like Shania does. This was no exception. It is a riot.
Musician of the Year? I don't know that much about it, but I thought it was good.
