Comment on Lady Antebellum leads ACM Nominations by Judy

I don’t think to get EOTY, you have to be on tour all year. I remember when Sugarland was nominated and had opened twice for someone else. They didn’t win, but I think it is the person or group that has done alot with their music the past year. Carrie, certainly was working hard writing her new CD and the TV holiday Special, American Heroes etc. plus two great songs and video’s.

I vote for Carrie…..

I do not think entertainer of the year should be voted on during the telecast. That is the ultimate award they all strive for. I am a carrie fan but she didnt tour much last year and should not win and shouldnt be on the list. But because now its a popularity contest it will not be totally by the merits. I find that sad. With that said she knocked it out of the park with her two recent singles……way to go……carrie

Bea, I’m with you…….unfortunately, I still believe Keith was ripped off on the other two awards he should have won.

I have been to 4 of his concerts now, and each one just gets better. He can literally take me out of my boring, painful life during the time he is onstage, and it carries over until the next day. Then, of course, I start having to live my own life again, but as long as I have his music to listen to, I can always go back and re-live the concert as if I were just there. I honestly believe, without a doubt, that he should have won EOTY. At this stage, I really can’t see anyone else in country (and there are plenty of stars I really, really like) that outshine Keith Urban. JMO

This was Keith Urban’s third Male Vocalist Grammy — You’ll Think of Me was the first one, Stupid Boy was the second one, and now Sweet Thing is the third. He is the finest entertainer there is and he is very deserving of this award.

Again, there was no mention of Steve Wariner winning the grammy for his Country instrumental CD. I know he is not the hottest property right now, but after influencing people like Keith Urban, and others he deserves his pkace.
CONGRATULATIONS STEVE.

Unfortunately Taylor Swift’s weak vocal performance at this year’s Grammys has revealed to the public a fundamental problem with the record business and not just in Nashville. Everyone’s now looking on Youtube and finding out that it’s not an “one-off”. Taylor, for all her positive marketing attributes, can’t sing and yet she’s receiving vocal awards. You can build without foundations. Nothing that will last, anyway.

Comment on Swift grabs Grammy for Album of the Year by Tom K

I’m happy that Taylor won Best Album. But for Best Country Song, I wanted “People Are Crazy” win, probably my favorite song of last year. “White Horse” is not the best song on her album, in my opinion, nor the best country song.
