44th Annual ACM Awards: The 9513 Staff Predictions
44th Annual ACM Awards: The 9513 Staff Predictions | The 9513
Once you click on the link, you get to see exactly who on the staff chose to win for each of the award!!!
Originally, the ACMs and the CMAs celebrated various styles of country music. The Nashville-based CMA Awards honored Nashville favorites while the ACM Awards honored artists and musicians who favored the sounds of the West. There was of course overlap, but throughout the years the Academy and the Association have favored the same artists to point where it’s difficult to distinguish one from the other. After witnessing the most recent CMA Awards, that doesn’t bode well for country music fans who plan on watching tonight’s broadcast of the ACM Awards. But watch, we will. Be sure to tune into our liveblog, too.
On to the predictions.
Entertainer of the Year
Kenny Chesney’s sole purpose in life revolves around the Entertainer trophy–and releasing Jimmy Buffet-style beach music–so it’s hard to bet against the guy. Several of the staff think Brad will break through this year to claim his first entertainer prize, but is his fan base mobilized enough to propel him to the top of the ballots? Does anyone have a more mobile fan base than Carrie Underwood? Those questions will be answered tonight, but for now, the staff is evenly split between Underwood, Paisely and Chesney with C.M. being the only one who thinks Urban has a shot.
Top Male Vocalist
George Strait is the favorite, but will voters feel like an Artist of the Decade award is sufficient for the current king of country music? Brad Paisley is the only other artist the staff feels has a real shot at the award, and with good reason, he won the past two years.
Top Female Vocalist
Based on our predictions, Carrie Underwood should easily walk away with the trophy here. Ben, who cast a couple of rogue predictions, was the lone dissenter.
Top Vocal Group, Top Vocal Duo, Top New Artist
Will the winners be as predictable as the staff seems to think? Probably so.
Album of the Year
Out of all the categories, this is the most interesting. On one end of the spectrum is Taylor Swift, an industry darling who sold a slew of albums. On the other end is Jamey Johnson, a critical favorite, who didn’t sell as many albums and barely snuck into the category after the Academy changed the criteria. Could the fact that the criteria was changed foreshadow a Johnson win here?

ok i have a question?? everytime im on message boards reading about all the acm nominations, there is always 2 or 3 people, maybe more, who say "o its too early for carrie to win EOTY" blah blah blah. wtf are they talking about. the award should go to whoever had the best year (in terms of touring, radio, sales etc) carrie has that in spades (along with brad too)... should jennifer hudson have been snubbed for the oscar because it was her first movie, NO!!, because she put on a great performance so she should be rewarded. carrie has had a PHENOMENAL year so shes deserves to be rewarded for it. it was same thing when she won female vocalist for the first time (people kept saying how she hasnt payed her dues or whatever), ok, but she obviously had the best sales so deserves the award. dont get me wrong, i love country music, ive loved it even before carrie came along but im so sick of country fan's sick obsession with an artist having to be in the business for a certain amount of time for them to win awards. these awards are based on the past year, its not like their the hall of fame, which is based off a long career

FVOTY.
With friendship it doesn't matter how long
you've known each other, or how many fights
you got into. what matters is who said
"i'll be there for you"
and who proved it.

It's awesome that they think she has a chance! I think Kenny will take it again but I would love it to be between Carrie/Kenny/Keith because Keith knows how to get the crowd off their feet at a concert!
And hooray for them thinking Carrie will walk away with Female Vocalist of the Year!
