Two comments:
1) the CMA just demonstrated their irrelevance by ignoring their biggest selling artist. I will not be watching. By contrast, Shania received 8 nominations from the CCMA.
2) hey tides! Long time no see! I see you are still on top of breaking developments.

OMG! I want to freakin' scream! I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope Shania does not attend the show this year, and she should SUE if they use her in ANY of the promos!!!!!!

It's 1996 all over again. I agree Roger, the CMAs just showed what a joke they are!! What do we do if Shania is on the show to perform, do we boycott it and not watch, or just watch Shania's performance and turn it off. Let them see who is getting the ratings.
Talk, I agree they better not use Shania in any of their promo spots. Well, I hope the ratings tank, without Shania and Faith fans tuning in, it should be a disaster.
It is unbelievable!!! Shania has sold more than all these artists combined that were nominated.
Does the CMA organization have an email address????

FEMALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR
Terri Clark
Alison Krauss
Patty Loveless
Martina McBride
Dolly Parton
------------------------
I hope Dolly wins! Martina is working off a two year old best of cd, and Terri's album....not exactly her stongest work.
Boy, the traditionalists must be having a party over this.

I think it is time for Shania to take the knife out of her back and plunge it into Nashvilles. She should not attend anything they do.
I think Shania should air her next NBC special, the night of the CMAs!!!!!! Now that is a contest she will destroy them on.

I'm with Roger....I WILL NOT watch the awards show, even if Shania is scheduled to perform....I don't know if she is scheduled to or not but I hope she doesn't show up. But if she is obligated I can see her being graceful enough to fulfill her obligation in spite of the stupidity and lack of judgement they exhibited in shutting Shania out.
I have a possible solution folks. Every one of us go out and buy a dozen copies of UP! and distribute them as gifts to our friends and family who don't have them. It's time to make UP! soar in sales and as others hear, they will buy too !!! I'm committed to go out a get a dozen copies and pass them out soon......Who is with me???!!!!!

After the tour, if they nominate her for Entertainer of the Year, she should do what Garth always did, not show up.

Now this is a joke......................
"Nothing comes close to illustrating the enormous depth and appeal of our format than this outstanding collection of nominees," said Ed Benson, executive director of the CMA.
The CMA is a trade organization which promotes country music. About 6,000 members nominate and vote for award winners.
http://abcnews.go.com/wire/Entertai...030826_785.html

And that is why sales are down, and you are losing radiostations across the country, and you don't even have one in one of the largest markets in the USA, NYC!!!! They should not include Shania or Faith's numbers in their sales figures, let's see how great they are then. I wonder if they realize they just lost a couple million viewers, and now, I will not buy country cds for a long time. I will skip the new releases from Martina, Reba and Toby, and wait til they are in the discount bins.

i think i'm going to cry!!!!! i tend to do that when i get angry! and if she was there like they would have to talk to her about other stuff on the red carpet...instead of saying "so your nominated for this and that congrats" etc.....since she's not nominted they couldn't even talk about that with her!!!!!! @@#%$$$#*** thats what i think of Nashville and them being jealous and totally ignoring how awesome she is!!

Faith Hill and Shania Twain were shut out of the best female vocalist category

I am shocked! I bet this will be one of the worst CMA awards shows ever! How can they even ignore an album which has basically sold 5 M in the US only? Joe Nichols' album as best album of the year? Complete allucinations...and FAFA should have been nominated for best Video!

Odd things about the nominations...............
The Alan Jackson/Jimmy Buffet song DID get a nomination for the Vocal Event category.
It's only been on the charts for 11 weeks...the Cut-Off date, according to the RULES on the CMA site, is MAY 31.
I Don't Think the song beat that date. So HOW is it nominated?
THIS is what the CMA site says about the Eligibility period:
ALL entry events must reflect performances and events between June 1, 2002 and May 31, 2003.
http://www.cmaawards.com/2003/broad...eligibility.asp
----------------------------------------
Shania has done so much this year...Grey Cup, Superbowl, three huge concerts, a TV special, muliple shows on Vh1 and CMT, she has hardly gotten the airplay she deserves, and yet, she sells more than any other country artist. She also made one of the most innovative country videos for her debut single IGGG.

I found this on Shania.com. It about sums it up.
Congratulations once again to the CMA (Clueless Music Association) for yet a new low in herd behavior, and for again demonstrating why it remains the single most musically illiterate, uninformed, politically bigoted entity in the industry, caught in some delusional time-warped universe of "country" music for self-important snobs, pretenders, and the tiniest of minds.
