The Official Acadamy of Country Music Awards thread

[teesharky]

Did you read the review of Taylors new song..that this group did? I noticed, over to the right, of your article...an article about Taylor!! They don't think she can sing live!! It is a thumbs down review!

awesome! heading there now- I missed it.

Jeff--- I will try to tone it down tomorrow and enjoy the show. Maybe we are all getting this out of our system now due to nerves, resentment that has built up from the cmt awards, etc- and all the undeserved attention taylor is getting in newspaper articles etc. It is just building up and it helps us to vent.

But tomorrow- --- I want to enjoy the show and I think I will because of the duet with brad.....carrie opening the show, etc. It is going to be great!

I may just mute the tv and change channels during taylor stuff-- so that may help things here. lol

[jeff]

hahaha......let's hope but very unlikely ..... I'll try my best but no guarantees.

yea, i hope people just try... i just hope people can be dignified, you know. i wonder if people realized how ugly it got on here at the CMT awards... it was embarassing and i hope people can learn from that...

and for everyone on both sides of the fence, we probably wouldnt be giving many more chances this time around.

Just b/c you asked nicely, I'll promise not to say a word tomorrow no matter how hard it may be for me.......I like you to stick around and not shut this site down.....much more important for me than complaining about TS. Maybe it's best to avoid this thread altogether tomorrow and just enjoy the show tomorrow.....oh who am I kidding, I can't stay away from this thread but I'll try keeping my comments to myself as much as possible unless it's about Carrie or anybody else but TS.

and i ask too, because i want to coment in the thread the day after and i don't want it to be closed just like happened on the last award show.

Glad you still stick around being a TS fan and all. You seem nice and I like having you here. It's hard for me to appreciate TS like you do but at least you stick by artists you like whether it's TS or Carrie even if other fans don't. That I can appreciate

it's all cool... i learned being a Kellie fan, it was so many BS that the fans had to take that this TS coments are like nothing
i always try to stick by the artist i like without being disrespectful or biased ^^

The performances I'm mostly looking forward to are Carrie's of course, Carrie and Brad P, Sugarland, Keith, and Garth Brooks.

The CMT awards are about videos and I can't say I cared for either of the videos for Wasted or So Small but the songs themselves are top Notch.AAG and Last Name are Great as was BHC and DFTRM, EEA and the Videos are Super Next Year she won't be blanked at the CMT's.The ACM"S and CMA's are another animal if you look at the history of Best Female in either one it was always the most talented vocalist not the most popular.To me this is between Martina and Carrie and posibly LeAnn.Carrie surely has the upper hand though with what she's done in the past year.

[teesharky]

^ me too.........so has anyone ventured to guess what song brad and carrie will sing? I think it may be a medley-- or-- maybe MAke the world go away.

The CMT awards are about videos and I can't say I cared for either of the videos for Wasted or So Small but the songs themselves are top Notch.AAG and Last Name are Great as was BHC and DFTRM, EEA and the Videos are Super Next Year she won't be blanked at the CMT's.The ACM"S and CMA's are another animal if you look at the history of Best Female in either one it was always the most talented vocalist not the most popular.To me this is between Martina and Carrie and posibly LeAnn.Carrie surely has the upper hand though with what she's done in the past year.

Yeah, you are right. Remember Grammy's Female Vocal Performance 2008 ?

Best Female Country Vocal Performance Nominee:

Alison Krauss, “Simple Love”
Miranda Lambert, “Famous in a Small Town”
LeAnn Rimes, “Nothin’ Better to Do”
Carrie Underwood, “Before He Cheats”
Trisha Yearwood, “Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love”

AND THE GRAMMY WENT TO "CARRIE UNDERWOOD". My point is: If Carrie was able to beat all of these good vocalist, Carrie should win the Female Vocalist award at ACM award tomorrow !! .

[QUOTE=teesharky;3548130]thank you. I am glad to hear you say that because sometimes I feel like I am the only one that sees that.

In like 5 years or so-- I might actually like some of taylor's songs when she grows up....but right now, I just can't stomach them...though Teardrops had some merit. I think she is a talented songwriter for her age though-- just not deserving of as much hype as she is getting.

What I love about carrie is her humililty and the fact that she never brags. Even if people are secretly a little full of themselves-- at least hide it better.

I don't see Kenny chesney ever bragging-- and he has alot to brag about. I don't see keith urban, martina, trisha yearwood, or even faith bragging. Not even shania bragged. I respect that about them alot.

Miranda doesn't brag either- though she does sometimes play the "I am edgy" card a bit too much. However- that is not bragging- she is just trying to separate herself from the pack...can't blame her for that.

People like Danielle Peck and Ashley monroe, ashton shepard, rissi palmer, etc-- even katrina elam-- are all very talented and virtually ignored. That bugs me....because they can all sing taylor under the table. I just don't get why taylor is glorified and they are ignored.[/QUOTE]

I think it is because of her myspace popularity. It seems that the powers to be recognize the possibility of a huge audience and are just trying to reep what ever benefits they can while she has that visibility.

22 hours and 10 minutes left. Can't wait to hog the TV from my family as they yell at me for listening to that "horrible music"

That is for sure the talent in this category.

Jade, you had three posts in a row there, I'm starting to worry about you. Talk to yourself do you.

TS will win the new female award and that's it. jmo
