2008 CMT Music Awards Show
7:06 -- What an opening! The question is... Who wasn't included in that? Keith Urban just took the stage and something tells me a surprise is coming your way. Wait for it...
7:08 -- Told ya! Brooks and Dunn just joined Keith on stage. Hopefully they'll be joining us backstage. Jen, Brian and I are in the luxurious green room of the 2008 CMT Music Awards. We're in the brain center. Master control. The belly of the beast, if you will. And as the stars come back to graze on the fabulous buffet, we will grab them and force them to send out messages to you the fans. I haven't seen too many bodyguards yet that can take me. We're risking life and limb but it's only because we love you.
7:14 -- Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Martin and Lewis and now Cyrus and Cyrus.
7:16-- Rascal Flatts just won Group Video of the Year for "Take Me There". However, with wives as hot as theirs how excited can they be?
7:18 -- On the subject of hot wives, I haven't seen one male artist tonight who didn't have one.
7:19 -- Here's a little behind-the-scenes info. The food in the green room is unbelievable or at least that's what I was told by about ten members of the Tennessee Titans who came in and immediately cleaned the whole thing out. Training camp starts soon so they need to stock up. I'm enjoying a piece of moldy beef jerky and drinking water out of a muddy boot print. Who says show business isn't glamorous.
7:23 -- Where the hell is Tom Arnold? He told me he'd come back to blog. I'd hate to resort to violence but...
7:25-- Just ran into Bucky Covington after his impressive performance. He was with his manager, Ron Harris, who is a former professional wrestler. Remember what I said earlier about not believing there was anyone here who could take me? Check that... I found one. Now I just need to introduce him to Tom Arnold.
7:28-- LeAnn Rimes and a bunch of hot dancers in prison uniforms? I'm going to need some private time. Back soon...
7:30-- Kenny Chesney just entered the green room with a large entourage. I'm going to try to break through and talk to him. If they beat me senseless, call Ron Harris.
7:39-- Sorry bout that, we were away for a moment. I blame it on Satan and his minions. But since idle fingers are the Devils playground... lets start typing. Kellie Pickler just won USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year. She said she wished she was here... I couldn't agree more. Once again, my dirty old man colors are showing.
7:43 -- Just ran into Keith and Nicole in the hall. If there are two better looking people on the planet, then I don't want to see them. I think I would go blind. I ask Keith if he would like to say something to the fans, he said 'Later if I can' so I'll take him at his word. If not, he'll be getting a visit from Ron Harris. By the way, Nicole's baby bump is right there!
7:49-- Oh there's Tom Arnold! On stage with Jewel. If he knows what's good for him, he'll be back in the green room pronto! Sugarland just took the stage... I smell another surprise coming!
7:53-- Sugarland, Little Big Town, and Jake Owen! Nuff' Said.
7:58 -- Paula Abdul just took the stage...and she made it up there, all on her own, not one slip, well maybe one... followed by a stumble. Holy crap! She's actually sort of making sense. No wait! I was wrong. I think somebody pressed the crazy button. Thank God we're going to a performance.
8:01 -- Tim and Faith... what a duo. Speaking of duo's Ron Harris' twin brother Don just joined him. Don is also a former professional wrestler. Tom Arnold is in trouble!
8:02-- Bobby Brown is just ten feet away, eating shrimp and grits and watching Faith and Tim. As soon as they are finished singing and he's finished eating, I will descend upon him for a quick interview.
8:04-- Actor Tim Daly just took the stage. For those of you who don't know him, he starred on Wings for 7 years. I don't see how you could not know who he is since they reran that show twelve hours a day on another network.
8:05-- Tom Arnold is here!!!! And here ya go... "I made Tim Daly take off his glasses because he looked too much like me. Can you believe he has a son that is 37 years old? That's hard to believe about Tim Daly. I was nervous up there... Out there with Jewel. Her boyfriend wasn't mad though. He has a hammer grip. Is Jesco White here? Anyway, I've never seen so many stars... this is unbelievable. The Sugarland song made me cry. Tim McGraw's the luckiest bastard in the world. I came to fan week and went to the softball game for City of Hope..and pregnant Faith hugged me. Life wasn't going to get much better than this. Faith... hugging hot, sweaty Tom Arnold. But that Tim is actually a great actor. Tim McGraw...Well Tim Daly's a good actor too...but, I tell you what. I've gained 30 lbs that since I got here yesterday. Since I got to Nashville I've had 3 meals of fried gravy. And...I can't wait until Snoop Dog gets back here...definitely don't need a smoke machine, I tell you what. And finally... they did a brilliant montage for the opening sequence. I think they're under new management here or something."
8:16 -- Snoop Dog introducing Alan Jackson... Have we entered a parallel universe? Or did I enter a contact high? Oh -- there's Blake and Miranda. Another homely couple. God bless them.
8:18 -- Paula Abdul just walked by. She's hot. She says she's going to come back and blog with us. If she doesn't, disregard that hot comment.
8:20-- LeAnn Rimes just won for Collaborative Video of the Year. I think Reba and Kelly were a little bit disappointed. Don't worry, she'll get over it. She's won more trophies than LeAnn Rimes is old. I'm sure she can go home and caress them and she'll be just fine.
8:23-- Holy mother of monkey dookie! I have never seen as many good-looking women in one place, at one time. And I don't have a chance with any of them.
8:29-- Snoop Dog and his entourage just walked by. I found two guys who could take Ron and Don Harris now. I waved to him, he flashed the peace sign... and that is probably all the interaction I will be having with Mr. Dog this evening. I can't say that I blame him. I just found out, I had some spinach stuck in my teeth. The bad news is... the last time I ate spinach was March 14th.
8:31-- Jen departs for a potty break.
8:35-- Julianne Hough, Josh Turner and Sara Evans. It's like looking at a country version of Three's Company. Come and knock on our barn door!
8:39-- We have just found the lovely Diana DeGarmo and she has a message for all her lovely fans. "Howdy ya'll? I'm very excited to be here and hopefully sometime in the near future I will have a video up for nomination. And look out for the Gone Countrycast in a few minutes we will in introducing somebody big! And p.s...I'm the biggest Rodney Carrington fan ever!"
8:42-- Brad Paisley and Bochephus! That was the surprise we wrote about earlier. Bet you didn't see that one coming did ya!? Something tells me you did.
8:43-- Just got word LeAnn Rimes is coming to talk to us. Hope they aren't lying.
8:46-- And here she is... "Thank you so much for voting for myself and Jon for Collaborative Video of the Year. I'm so excited and it was so unexpected. I hope you all are having so much fun watching. I'm headed out this weekend to kick off my tour with Kenny Chesney and I hope I see everyone out on the road."
8: 50-- We are being graced with loveliness...Paula Abdul. "I was really honored and excited to be asked to introduce Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. While up there, I was able to mix in my overwhelming "mom-like" attitude for all the alumni of American Idol. And...at least there was no Simon. Before I announced Tim and Faith I was able to tell America that we literally found these kids by lifting up rocks and finding these gems that we actually thought to be our bright and shiny diamonds in the rough...I was getting very corny. So the band started playing so I turned to them and said 'okay...I get it.' So I then said 'It takes a tremendous amount of Faith...and the only person who gets that is Tim. And the audience went crazy. It was just fun. I got to see a lot of people from the past and I totally understand why people come here. People in Nashville are so nice and for me it's a disease but here, it's an epidemic. It's great to be apart of a huge show that has passed onto the country music world all this talent. From Josh Gracin to Bucky Covington to Kellie Pickler, Phil Stacey, and of course I call her...Miss. Carrie. And I'm so proud of all of them and I'm ecstatic to have been here tonight."
8:59 -- The hot new group Lady Antebellum is here. Let her rip kids... "Hey Cyberspacers. Lady A here. Just want to say that this years CMT Awards rocked. This is kind of like our CD pre-release party because our debut album comes out tomorrow!!!! What did you all think of our quick performance after Miley? We were nervous and what an act to follow. Snoop Dog just walked by and I got to meet Sisqo...I love that thong song(says Hillary). Don't forget to sign up to play us in Rockband on CMT.com. (An upcoming contest...) We're gonna kick your butt! Ya'll enjoy the rest of the show and we hope to meet you on the road soon."
9:00 -- I'm a lucky man, Julianne Hough has joined us. "I'm so excited to be here at the CMT Awards. I never thought that I would be in the same building with my biggest Idols... especially Faith Hill who has inspired me from the beginning. I got to meet her tonight! To my fans who have followed my career from Dancing to Singing, I wouldn't be here without you. Look foward to seeing you on the road with Brad Paisley this summer. I owe all my successes to you."
9:06 -- We have the man, the big winner tonight Trace Adkins. Let her rip brother... "Thank you fans for voting for me, the people I was up against in this category are huge stars and I can't believe I won this thing."

agnes quinn says:
Great opening - but why did we have to listen to announcements during it. I would have loved to see and hear the entire performance.
Kelly says:
Why can’t they ever get the sound balanced on these things? Bucky Covington just sounded horrible!! Bless his heart!
Neiman Cruse says:
I can’t wait to see Diana DeGarmo present..she has such a bright career still ahead of her- hope she comes out with a Country album soon! And also, speaking of success, Carrie Underwood…she’s going to do INCREDIBLE! To add, two-time DWTS Champ Julianne Hough is presenting, AWESOME! Can’t wait her hot album debut on May 20th! CMT Awards is back on..
Jessica says:
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO RASCAL FLATTS!!!!!!!!!! I love you guys!
Diane Ruple says:
I totallly agree with Agnes at 7:13. I was so irritated that you ruined probably the best live performance of the night to show announcements, that I really did not even care who you were showing on screen. What a let down. How often do you get to see Keith Urban and Brooks and Dunn together and then you ruin it.
Jennifer says:
I like Rascal Flatts but I think it was a bit unfair for them to have 2 nominations in one catagory! Guess no one else had a problem with it!
jerry jeff - chicago says:
I am digging all my favorites tonite but very bummed out by snoop dog, get the hook and get him the >>> out of there…you could’ve had Jimmy Buffett,Alan Jackson, George Strait, how bout Willie?? Geez folks, think next time!! Where is Pat GREEN!!!! I am really looking forwarde to James Otto!! Taylor Swift is such a sweetheart, but my nieces cannot do without Miley!! Rascal Flatts ROCKS!

Kimberlee says:

Maegan says:
I am disappointed that Sugarland is the only one who gets credit for that song that was just sang…What about Little Big Town or Jake Owen?
Tony says:

Kimberlee says:

Jolene says:

rf_fan says:

Kelly says:
OMG!!! I LOVE “Life in a Northern Town” — amazing — 7 voices in perfect harmony — please release that song!! Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!
kskufan says:
Yes I am very upset I did not see the whole performance of Keith Urban…..they should not of been announcing while Keith was making magic with his fingers. He is an awesome peformer and so entertaining to watch. I wonder will he sing again tonight.
Carrie says:
i DONT MEAN TO DIS ANYONE FROM THAT SONG…THEY ARE ALL FANTASTIC…I AM JUST A HUGE SUGARLAND FAN…LITTLE BIG TOWN ROCKS TOO…I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT JAKE OWEN..SRY
Kimberlee says:
LOL yeah I like the hosts this year too I thought that was a cute joke from Miley to her dad about the cell phone bill…LOL
brett says:
holy schnieke’s the sugarland, little bit town, and jake owen collaboration was awesome. where can i buy a copy of it.
Kimberlee says:
That was a great preformance
Jolene says:
That was a cute joke. i wish my dad and i were as close as they are. they go perfect together!!! i LOVE it!!!!
JoAnn says:
Loved the opening and cannot wait to see James OTTO in person.
Carrie says:
Theyve only been doing it at there concerts…i havent heard if it is being released.
Louis C says:
I am not sure I liked them just zipping through those categories and winners like they did. Geez. If they are important enough to promote, and have us vote on, they should be announced on-air.
Eric says:
Don’t care what anyone says the performance and song by Sugar Land, Little Big Town, Jake Owen was incredible, that is such a beautiful song couldn’t be sung better by anyone else.
Carrie says:
Paula kinda creeps me out a little. Maybe its just me. Is she gonna cry?
Becca says:
is it just me or does Paula always seem out of it? Did you see her on the red carpet? She seemed like she could barely talk.
Kimberlee says:
why is Paula here?
heather says:
james otto was here in indy yesterday and i got to see him i love the show
Carrie says:
The best couple in country music in my opinion….love Tim and Faith!!
veronica says:
yeah i can watch it now,am so excited
Tony says:
THE Cutest Couple… this is why I love country music.
veronica says:
i love his voice and i’m a sucker for that accent
Kimberlee says:
I am glad you can join in on the fun Veronica
Faith and Tim are a great couple
Carrie says:
Husband is complaining of her short hair. He said makes her look too old. I kinda agree.
Eric says:
I’m a Time Mcgraw fan, but what happened to him, where is his music that got him where hes at. Now days its always slow sappy music (don’t get me wrong there good) I just miss the old Tim.
kskufan says:
I wonder how old is Nicole Kidman?
Kimberlee says:
I was thinking that they need to pick up the beat a little bit… great song still but yeah know
Tony says:
If I were married to Faith I’d sing nothing but love songs too!
Kly says:
Heyyyy Hi there Shane!! your doin a grrreat job! to CoOL thanxxxxx,, your my ~main man~ connectionator dude!! from michigan to tennessee!!! im dig’n it ! xo

renee says:
Please tell me what Sugarland just sang.
kskufan says:
Faith Hill looks great
Becca says:
I love ttim & faith, but that song wasnt that great
Sharlee says:
Sometimes I feel so sorry for Tim and Faith. I don’t think all those screams were for the music. This song is such an intimate one, and I could do without all the cat-whistles.
Jessica says:
i think they should keep county music tv totally country. instead of bringing paula abdul and that tom arnold guy that no one knows into it
Tony says:
they always look great together.
veronica says:
go carrie i so hope she wins
kskufan says:
go Martina
Alley says:
You guys are doing good. I am really the awards.Billy and Miley you Rock.
Tony says:
leanne is great but i hope carrie wins
Kimberlee says:
ooh I love Carrie’s Hair… I love that song and video from LeAnn I am really sick of that song by Taylor swift
Becca says:
oh this is a tough one i luv taylor and miranda…
Carrie says:
Yeah Taylor deserves it too…good for her. Carrie has had her year or so already…time to hand down the torch right?!!
heather says:
how old is taylor
kskufan says:
Any Keith Urban Fans here???? I hope he wins male video of the year “I told you so”
I hope I hope
Tony says:
sweet girl and she’s only 17!
veronica says:
nooo damn i’m pissed off.i dont even know who taylor swift is
Sharlee says:
Taylor is so cute!!
Kimberlee says:
Yeah she is a young one
Carrie says:
You dont who she is?? Do you listen to country music..she si great…as good as the other nominees obviously.
Becca says:
yeah, taylors so sweet
kskufan says:
Martina should of won
Tony says:
veronica says:
“nooo damn i’m pissed off.i dont even know who taylor swift is”
Really? “Slamming Screen Doors” is a wonderful song. She has a long career ahead of her like Leanne.
Alley says:
I hope Sugarland wins Video of the Year!I can’t wait to see Toby Keith on stage!Shane, have some fun for me too!
veronica says:
i hope brad paisley wins something
rf_fan says:
love luke bryan…all my friends say…lalalalala
Susie says:
What was up with Faith Hill????????? She looked like she was 50 years old, with a make up job like Tammy Faye Baker! Can you say too much Botox maybe? Her face looked a little plump.
Tony says:
Brad Paisley is one heck of a guitar player. I saw him in concert last year…. that fella can throw down!
Carrie says:
I love Brad too…he has the best and funniest songs out…i like that kind of music.
veronica says:
we dont know her here i the uk thats for sure.country music is not so big here.i get a lot of stick from my friends about it but what do they know about quality musi right
Eric says:
Life in a Northern Town for the person wondering about the song sugar land just sang. Does anyone know if that song is on sale yet??????
Carrie says:
Husband agrees with you Susie…and he loves Faith.
Becca says:
Faith looked like she is trying to hard to be a diva. She needs to stop and go back to the old Faith
Carrie says:
SNOOOOOP DOOOOGGGG!!!! YEAH BOYZZZZ!!! LOL
Eric says:
Why is Snoop Dog on stage!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????
veronica says:
its a joke having snoop there
Becca says:
uh…snoop dog on cmt?????
Tony says:
oh mercy snoop doggy dog… mercy! are they booing or saying “snoop”!
Keeley says:
I know Kellie wasn’t expecting to win, so is it just me or did she not thank the fans??
moonlite says:
what did kenny win already with don’t blink??
Susie says:
Glad someone else out there had the same thoughts I did on Faith. Not to mention that hair cut of hers does her no good either!
Sharlee says:
Ok, seriously….Snoop Dog????
Eric says:
Good ole Alan always kickin them out and always good, now thats real country
Carrie says:
Alan..the usual ladies man type. He is too country for me…i like a little rock in my country. He is an excellent performer though.
Kly says:
what would be nice when it comes to ~voting time~ if we could type in one of the “been around” or the “UP & coming” artists or bands !?
dont get me wrong, all wonderful folk im sure,, its just that a little “pull a rabbit out a hat” ~SURPRIZE~ every once in a while would be a treat instead of the same ole same ole.
otay then,,,,gooooo DIEKRS goooo!! bring that buckle home dude! im sure SOmEOnE will keep it all bUFf’d up & ShInY for ya! T-hee hee…
xo
Becca says:
not even. I prefer the Faith she used to be. I even like her music better back then than I do her new stuff now
Tony says:
Here he is Alan Jackson! The last of the honky tonkers! This gentleman has pure southern style, charm and manners. A real southern gentleman.
Susie says:
With all of these other musicians of other genres, they are just trying to lure in more viewers. In my humble opinion anyway.
moonlite says:
supporting actor went to rodney carrington and tearjerker went to kellie pickler wtih IWonder, comedy wen t to Toby, but I don’t remember what Don’t blink went to
veronica says:
so is anyone familiar with CHRISTIAN KANE’S music?
rf_fan says:
go Dierks! Free and Easy….down the road!
Louis C says:
I could have gone all night without Snoop Dogg, Tom Arnold, Paula Space Cadet, etc.
Susie says:
Becca, if I were up on that stage singing with the love of my life, I sure would be looking him lovingly in his eyes.
kskufan says:
I am pretty sure they were booing snoop….weird what is he doing there.
Brandy says:
Hi i’m 12 and i love Little Big town and Rascal Flats…yum some day i want to become a country singer…i love Criage morgan International harvaster.I LOVE COUTRY MUSIC…woooooo!!
Carrie says:
Kelli didnt thank the fans…but she will learn..someone will tell her…it will come with time who she needs to thank when she gets an award.
Jessica says:
where’d Jayster go :( lol
Susie says:
Don’t forget George Strait as a honky tonker too!
Becca says:
yeah me too, love of my life or Tim McGraw…either way
Eric says:
So does anyone think that Billy and Miley are going to perform???
diana says:
please tell me i didnt miss miley and billy ray sing!!!!missed first 20 mins
Becca says:
I think its so funny that these two are a couple miranda and blake
Carrie says:
They were yellin. SNNNOOOOPPPP not booing…just to let you know.
Susie says:
Personally, I hope not. I think they are overrated.
diana says:

veronica says:

Tony says:

diana says:

Carrie says:
Faith looks sooo much better in the video. Yeah, Bon Jovi and Leanne…rock on.

Tony says:
oh wow! Congratulations Leanne and Bon Jovi!!!
shirley says:
Congrats Leann and BonJovi….goodness.
Sylvia says:
What was the name of the song Tim McGraw and Faith Hill sang?
Tony says:
somebody needs to shoot that poor child’s tailor!
Susie says:
I Need You
kskufan says:
NO WAY…….leanne and bon jovi should not of won….
Becca says:
it was ‘I need you”
Carrie says:
I need you was the Tiem and Faith song
diana says:
my daughters love miley shes a great role model for my girls
Sharlee says:
ok, who you guys think is Brad’s special guest?!?!?
Susie says:
I whole heartedly agree with you kskufan!!!!! BOOOOOOO
John Green says:
who picked Taylor Swifts and Le ann rhimes Outfit?? They make them look horrible!!!
Is Taylor Pregnant? That outfit looks like it.
Becca says:
What was Leann wearing, a curtain?
Susie says:
I bet it’s George Strait, Sharlee…..
Keeley says:
I didn’t think she did…I’d rather that Tim and Faith won that last one but whatever…
Carrie says:
I wanted Kelly and Reba too win but oh well.
diana says:
me too carrie
kskufan says:
This is not going like I thought it would….I am not so sure I like the set up of the show or most of the winners.
Tony says:
Sharlee says:
“ok, who you guys think is Brad’s special guest?!?!?”
here at the house we think it will be the person who sang “Ticks” with him or his beautiful wife and baby
Susie says:
They had to cut a lot of the performances out due to time constraints and it stinks!
Crystal says:
Was Snoop being “boo-ed”????
shirley says:
here’s BR and Miley.
Louis C says:
Bring on Carrie, SOON!
Carrie says:
I really do like this song…pretty cute.
diana says:
omg go miley and billy
Eric says:
Yes I love this song and they do awsome at good!!!!!!!!!!!
Tony says:
ahhh… i love this song. it reminds of the day my daughter left for college…. real feelings here.
Susie says:
I like the recording better than the live performance. If I had to choose between the two.
diana says:
ok i dont like how they redid it
Keeley says:
me 2! its only been 1 and a half hours in to the show and theyve only done 4 awards…i love it when miley and billy sing this song but tonight something is off….
Carrie says:
ok…I dont like how she is singing it though…whats up with changing it so much.
Tony says:
she is off… they need to work on her sound
Eric says:
She has a great voice hope she doesn’t end up like Brittney
mom says:
What is wrong with Miley’s voice?
Louis C says:
Miley sounds awful. Bad audio mix on this one.
Becca says:
Miley is the one famous person that I don’t mind my child looking up too. she handles herself so well
Keeley says:
WHY would you mess with a hit song??? i dont like this…version…
Tony says:
billy ray sounds great… just like the soundtrack
Eric says:
I would never let my 16 year old daughter dress like that on stage infront of millions
Carrie says:
Not too good..he sounds fine…maybe she is performing tooo much right now and straining her voice.
diana says:
i lov ethem but i cant beleive im sayin this she sounds bad
diana says:
even my daughter said so
Sharlee says:
I love Miley, but somebody needs to remind her that pop is her thing, country is her daddy’s.
diana says:
my daughter is 10 she said she put too much pop in it
Carrie says:
Love the song and the sound of their voices together…but the name is kinda strange Lady Antebellum
jnjlee says:
We love the Cyruses’-but “Hey” is it my imagination, or has Miley copted a BIT of an attitude tonight? Beyond that the show is great!
Go Taylor all the way to the top girl!!!
veronica says:
i agree sometimes i think they forget she is still a kid
diana says:
poor miley the cridics r goin to be all over her tomorrow
Keeley says:
“diana: my daughter is 10 she said she put too much pop in it”
Yea that’s what I think as well…
Tony says:
yep, i think she is only 15 or 16
veronica says:
STILL CANT BELIEVE CHRISTIAN DIDT WIN
veronica says:
i stayed up till 2 in the morning just so i can watch him win
emerald says:
I am sorry, but MS. M Cyrus or however you spell her name, was terrible. What was CMT thinking - no offense to her as person but this song she just sang was not right for her - maybe for her dad but not her - and she seems to grown up and I think that is shame since life moves fast enough.
kskufan says:
Sorry but i AGREE Miley sounded off key
ClayS says:
Miley way over sangher psrt of the song. Was not impressed..
Keeley says:

I have been looking forward to the CMT Music Awards for the past month. And it is finally here. The show is going great so far. I am hopeing and voting for Sugarland to win the Video of the Year Belt. I thought the song Stay was awsome. She done a fantastic job on the video and it makes the hair stand up every time that I hear that song. My sister feels the same as I do about it. And she can sing it and put meaning into is cause she loves it so much. Good job Sugarland keep up the good work.
