Musician is no longer in this, because half the people dont know the niminies, lol!

The only person i could not include in this so far is jmekay, because jmekay chose more then 1 nominie in numerous categories, if you make a mistake, you are welcome to repost, but delete your old post. Another way to help out is, just list who you think you will win under each category, instead of posting the whole roster. This is not final, just a little update, i will probably update this as much as i can untill people stop casting thier votes. Please only vote once, and if you hav'nt, please do! the more votes, the closer our predictions will be to the real thing!

Musical Event
"Because of You"- I don't like their voices together at all- though I love them separately. Love kellys solo version of this song- but not the duet. They sound weird together as kelly is not country sounding at all- and reba is too country sounding- so they don't blend well.

I am so over Brooks & Dunn winning vocal duo. It should 100% be Sugarland this year.

Of course I predict and hope Carrie will win all of the categories that she is nominated for.

Other than that, I don't really care, although I do hope that Little Big Town and Rascal Flatts win something cuz I love both of them.

Wait does anyone know who the actual nominees are???

AS A REMINDER, ONLY VOTE 1 NOMINIE IN EACH CATEGORY!
