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:
love that song with all the groups and harmonies
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:

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:
she may be young but shes a singer she know the limitations of her voice if she knew she was going to strain her voice to sing, she shouldnt have sung at all
emerald says:
Thanks for say miley was too pop - that is why this song was terrible.
Samantha says:
i LOVE Billy Ray, but i dont think i liked Miley that much….just me?
Carrie says:
The song is great on the radio…she just changed it too much tonight.
mom says:
strep throat is the rumor going around
dnickles says:
What happened to Miley she didn’t sound too good. My daughter said she was dissappointed. She also has a really bad attitude, rockstar life gone to the head?
Carrie says:
THANKS TO THE TROOPS…GOD BLESS!!
ClayS says:
Billy Ray is a class act. Thnaking the troops and their families..
diana says:

Keeley says:
“Samantha: i LOVE Billy Ray, but i dont think i liked Miley that much…just me?”
trust me honey you are not alone in that…
Opal 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.
Tony says:

Candi says:
Josh turners voice is the most sexiest thing ive ever heard!

Keeley says:

Louis C says:

jnjlee says:
But you know y’all-even with all our comments and kudos there isn’t one of us who would’nt want to be right there in the middle of it all! Yeah Hoooo!
alxskay says:
This makes me sad, because miley really does have a good voice, but she sounded awful tonight. she was definitely straining to hard. she should have kept it simple. keep it simple miles
Holly says:
Did I miss Kenny’s performance?
Eric says:
Darn good job Brad and Hank!!!!!!!!!
Carrie says:
HANKS A NUT…
diana says:
wtg u 2
Samantha says:
blah blah blah
Donna says:
ok, I had to step out for a few minutes and missed Paula Abdul’s presentation. Can somebody tell me - is it true did she really “stagger” on stage and sound like she had pre-partied too much? or does that sound exagerated?
Tony says:
Here’s a PROUD DAD! A Good Man…
Keeley says:
coindence that he said that at first about giving her praise??
Samantha says:

Carrie says:
TOO MUCH COMEDY AND NOT ENOUGH COUNTRY.

Samantha says:

kskufan says:

Keeley says:
dnickles says:
Posted: April 14th, 2008 at 8:45 pm

ClayS says:

Samantha says:

Candi says:

Samantha says:

veronica says:

Becca says:

Tony says:
Reba! She’s a hoot!
Samantha says:
REBA is SEXY!!!! i LOVE her
jnjlee says:
Go Reba-the Queen of Country!
Carrie says:
Reba is the bomb…GO BRAD!!
Samantha says:

Candi says:

Keeley says:
ok that last bit b/n billy ray and miley not cool except for the grammys part
kskufan says:
Keith Urban Rocks
jnjlee says:
Too many hot men to choose from!
Carrie says:
Trace is soooo hott…i just loved him Apprentice…..way to go boy…woo hoo
Samantha says:
yeah…that song rocks!!!
Holly says:
YES TRACE FINALLY
Tony says:
here it comes……Trace Atkins! My wife is ecstatic! She loves Trace!
Carrie says:
that was a pleasant surprise…go Trace
jnjlee says:
Too many hot men to choose from! Go Trace!!
Samantha says:
he…is…so…sexy!!!….rodney is too
Keeley says:
thanks veronica!
ok is it just me or am i the only one who wanted Kenny to win???
Holly says:
I love Kenny and Toby but it’s about time the underdog wins! I only wish my favorite Dierks Bentley was up for it!
Carrie says:
he is so humble…fantastic
jnjlee says:
Oops! Double click!
kskufan says:
ok now I am pissed…….the day trace wins over the most talented man in the world…..is the day that it has been rigged!!!!!Keith Urban is the BEST and will be my winner always
Tony says:
my wife is dancing and prancing around the living room… she leave me in a second if Trace walked in!
He is a real southern gentleman.
Samantha says:
yeh its about time
brian says:
i hope sugarland wins it all. ill see then in virgina soon.
Becca says:
finally taylor!!!
Carrie says:
Taylor is so cute. Kinda has an Alicia Keys thing going on.
Keeley says:
go taylor! not crazy about the beginning of this song btw….
Samantha says:
i dont like kenny
jnjlee says:
Taylor sure has some range!
Samantha says:
that poor girl…she souldnt sing on stage
Tony says:
Taylor you go girl!! heck, she sounds great!
Samantha says:
it sounds like she is having trouble
Carrie says:
She had to take out the “gay” line though…doesnt say it on the radio ne more either.
Sharlee says:
don’t love this song…. sounds like she’s struggling with it.
Keeley says:
i think the sound check guys screw up big time on this award show…everyone sounds bad!
Louis C says:
Samantha, sorry, but Carrie U. is here to stay. As for her perceived attitude you criticize, you have to be careful. It’s kind of hard to really know someone on that level without really knowing them. It’s much easier to see their true talent, and she’s got plenty of that.
Tony says:
i love the boots. only she could pull that look off.
Kelly says:
Taylor Swift is very talented, but gets completely on my nerves….She is so way overdone. We saw her with Brad Paisley and Rodney Adkins and she was annoying then. I hope she grows up a little bit.
veronica says:
something wrong hear is she off key?i’ve heard better.i wish carrie won
Samantha says:
its about time she shows her wild side!!! i knew she had one
Carrie says:
I like Miranda Lambert a little better than Taylor Swift…Kerosene was a smash…and when she did it on the awards show…AWESOME!!!
Keeley says:
yea the your gay was my FAVE line….i was upset when it was taken out in the vid and radio
Holly says:
she’s FIFTEEN times better than Miley!
veronica says:
worst perfomance tonight
Becca says:
I have to agree. I like Miranda better. She can pull off the whole rage thing alot better
Tony says:
she is part of the next generation of country music…. i hope she stays a sweet girl like kellie
Keeley says:
actually i disagree…miley’s performance has been the worst so far
Samantha says:
Louis C…..i just dont like her…thats all
jnjlee says:
My 12 yr old daughter mimicked the whole performance-she loves Taylor
Karen says:
Maybe one day Taylor’s voice will change and she’ll sound good. Real singers don’t sound bad when singing live.
Holly says:
Yeah and Miranda is a heck of a lot older than Taylor. Taylor’s voice is still maturing! She sang better than Miranda and Blake’s stupid home video lol
Carrie says:
I think Miley was the worst performence…she sounded horrible and had no enthusiasum..my opinion though
Samantha says:
Miranda is soo cute…and her and blake are really cute together
John Green says:
That was better for Taylor. at least she dumpped that red thing she was wearing. She rocks as a singer.
Miley Cyrus was really bad
dnickles says:
I have to agree Miley’s was the worst.
Jessica says:
wwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!! RF didnt make the final cut for vid of the year :( they deserved that
veronica says:
have a goodnight everyone.dawn is creeping on me ad i’m so tired.enjoy the rest of the show
Becca says:
at least tayor looked like she was having fun. miley just kinda stood there
Carrie says:
bye veronica..nite nite
Keeley says:
hey leann started singing at 13 and she’s still here and ive seen some live performances when she was younger they werent all that good
Samantha says:
i like both them
dnickles says:
maybe she would have sang better as Hannah Montanna
jnjlee says:
Almost every “Live” performance sounds off. gotta remember-albums and videos are tightly controlled.
veronica says:
GOOD LUCK BRAD I HOPE YOU WIN VIDEO OF THE YEAR
veronica says:
BRAD I HOPE YOU WIN VIDEO OF THE YEAR
Mike says:
Many terrible parts of the show. Billy and Miley were terrible host tonight and some of the dialoge was corney. Taylor swifts performance was so ridiculous. Was nervous or out of breath the whole song and also was she trying to be a head banger by thrown her hair the whole song?
Carrie says:
i’ve gotta see Sara evans and Maroon 5 on crossroads…will be great.
Karen says:
Taylor should not have won over Martina and Leann for female vocalist. Those ladies can sing.
Jessica says:
hope taylor wins video of the year
Holly says:
remember the fans vote so its what we think i guess
Kelly says:
I still can’t get over how CMT can hire the most expensive sound people in the world and NEVER pull off a great sounding awards show!! I have to tell you that if my only exposure to Country music was through CMT awards shows, I’d run away and never look back. Almost every artist sounds forced and awful!! The only reasonable performance was Sugarland/Little Big Town/Jake Owens and that was AWESOME!!!
Louis C says:
Samantha, I understand. There are always folks we just don’t like and sometimes we don’t even know exaclty why. I could not stand Reba for about 15 years. Now I “get” her better. There are plenty of talented folks out there to enjoy. And yes, the sound system or something is bothering a lot of the performers tonight. Most of them sound “off.”
Carrie says:
i agree…studio sounds different than live…they can fix the issues in the studio easily
Keeley says:
jnjlee says:
Posted: April 14th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Almost every “Live” performance sounds off. gotta remember-albums and videos are tightly controlled.
thats very true, live performances are only up to 4 minutes long, videos can take up to a month to do
Becca says:
I agree leann and martina have great voices, but with all the new younger fans out there now, they all love taylor bc she sings about things they can relate to more, thats what my daughter says
jnjlee says:
We do too Jessica!
Carrie says:
rodney carrington is a hoot…funny guy
jnjlee says:
Billy Ray look alike mullet DO!! lol
Robert says:
What is the deal with most of the gril’s in mini skirts
Becca says:
ok don’t really like this toby song
jnjlee says:
TOBY!!!!!! BOO YAH!!!! YUMMY!!!
Carrie says:
Where are all the fat girls that like Toby Keith…they only get hoochies to dance in the front row…We like country music too…get rid of the drama mamas in the front..thanks
jnh3482 says:
best CMT awards show ever!!!
jnjlee says:
He is REAL!
Kelly says:
Because the only time my kids saw Brad Paisley perfom - not in a video was on awards shows, they didn’t want to go to his concert (after I got tickets!!) because they thought he sounded off and wouldn’t be able to put on a live show. His concert was fabulous - all live and not redone - so, it CAN be done, but just not on CMT awards shows.
Karen says:
The whole point is, Taylor can’t really sing. It doesn’t matter what she’s “singing” about. She always sounds terrible when she’s on stage.
Carrie says:
that was just what i was talking about….
Kelly says:
Toby sounds Great — but somebody needs to get that girl dancer next to him some french fries or something!
DOTTIE says:
From the hosts to the some of the performers this award show is like a circus. Some need to learn to really sing and others need to learn it is Country Music not the junk some are singing. The Cyrus’ need to learn it is not all about them
Mike says:
great song TK. He’s a great performer. TK really pulled off the girl getting on stage in his performance.
John Green says:
was that part of the act??
Susie says:
Had to leave for a bit.. Here’s some of my thoughts on the posts that happened while I was gone..
Keith Urban is wonderful. Josh Turner and Trace Adkins have the sexiest bass voices and I melt listening to them.
Carrie has had her day in the sun, let some new up and comers have their time. Taylor Swift, she just plain needs a new voice box and learn how to write real songs.
Dottie N says:
I dont know what is going on but they need to work on the sound system.
Carrie says:
i dont know if she was staged but security took a looong time to get to her if it wasnt part of the act…
Karen says:
AMEN, Susie!
Susie says:
Agreed Dottie!!! It made Rascal Flatts sound horrible.
I don’t think anything could’ve help Miley…
Kly says:
yeah, im sure that chick was part of the show…hell i can dance better then ThAT,,lol
John Green says:
The sound people need to know we have HDTV and good sound systems now, they can not hide bad singing or sound systems. But Miley Cyrus was just bad.
jnjlee says:
Looking forward to the new “Can you Duet?” after the awards.
reg says:
That was interesting, a girl gets up on stage with Toby Keith? I don’t beleve it was part of the act because that guy pulled her off stage. I guess she got her 15 minutes of fame.
suzie says:
WOW what was that girl thinking. she’s got guts.
Mike says:
come on big and rich. I loved that song. I had it played for my wife at our wedding.
Dottie N says:
Oh! I missed that what happened!!!
Carrie says:
yeah sugarland won…woo hoo
Karen says:
Now there’s a singer and a great song. Sugarland, yeah!
Keeley says:
ok my roommate officially thinks im crazy!!! i let out a loud yes!!!! GO SUGARLAND!!!!
Carrie says:
if she wasnt stages why would security let her dance so long…if it was a fat girl she would have been dragged off by her toe nails…give that girl a donut please
jnjlee says:
Good for Sugarland! I love their sound!
kskufan says:
This is the worst CMT award show ever. I think it was rigged….Keith Urban deserves so much more and he sounds awesome LIVE…..so there is no excuses for the sound equipment. I am turning this show off and going to bed. I’m done
When badonkadonk wins over a beautiful song about forgivness that Keith Urban wrote himself!!!!!! When that happens something is wrong with this world.
Kelly says:
This Sugarland song made me bawl like a big old baby the first 15 times I heard it — great song — tough category because I would have liked to see Big and Rich get some mainstream accolades.
suzie says:
chuck wicks is very cool love that song
JOE H says:
I was suprised to hear Tim sound like he did. Usally he is way off key. They might have had live protools and his personal sound/audio guy mixing for them.
Susie says:
I really like the song “Stay”. I would’ve done the video differently. I would’ve staged it in a living room in a house. Something to really reflect the song.
Kim says:
I voted for Keith Urban, and my vote was not accepted. I received the reply: sorry, did not understand your message. I think it was rigged. Keith Urban should know that CMT would not accept a vote for him. He should have won. Sorry, Keith Urban. I tried. Your fans love you and think you are awesome. Keith Urban is so talented, he is a wonderful songwriter, singer, and musician.
Carrie says:
I love the song but the lyrics are to sad for me…personally have issues with the whole infidelity thing..but a great singer non the less
connie says:
what the hell happened to country music this was the worse show i have every seen in my life please dont let that washed up billy ray and his wannabe daughter host the show every again,the little girls might like her but i think she stinks as a singer.the best part of the whole show was alan jackson ,brad and hank and the award trace got please bring country back
sam says:
was the girl staged or what if not secruity took there time getting there
jnjlee says:
Did I read the live blog right earlier about Keith Urban and Nicole are expecting? About time if so. They are beautiful people.
Deb says:
WTG Jen… Beeman? I know you are proud of your “Baby Girl”!!!
KatieAnn says:
It’s so great to see Diana DeGarmo.
Lisa Kae says:
What ever happen to country music. As I sit here and watch, I think our legends are tuning in to another station. Country music is NOT country anymore.
I don’t like it, sorry. That is my opinion. Anyone agree???
Dottie N says:
lol!!! I agree!!!
Kly says:
allison & robert plant are my fav!! i didnt go wrong voting for them this year!! ill take the blame for them winning that catagory!!!
…aww sshuks,your welcome aliison & bob..lol.
DIERKS… its almost your turn dude!!!
xo kly
suzie says:
good for trace he deserves to win
Brian says:
Great win for Sugarland…now when they win overall video of the year, that will be even better.
Susie says:
Carrie, unfortunately today infedelity is very much a part of society. I think society has made it OK. It’s definitely not a part of mine.
Carrie says:
ty Susie..
Kly says:
…and i think all us oldie but goodie Led Zepplin fans wouldnt let Robert down!!
congrats! xo
jnjlee says:
They sure are shaking it up with these varied announcers!
Hmmmmm….
Susie says:
I agree with you Lisa Kae. Live on George, Bocephus, Merle, George Jones, etc… There’s too much rock being put into country.
Susie says:
yw carrie!
Carrie says:
My daughter used to say “momma, ur boyfriend is on tv” everytime Kenny was on…i used to listen to him night and day…my hubby played a song by him on our first date and dedicated it on the radio to me…very sweet
Susie says:
Awwwwwww Carrie! You have a great man hold onto to him tight, just like I am mine!
Keeley says:
Susie says:
Posted: April 14th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
I agree with you Lisa Kae. Live on George, Bocephus, Merle, George Jones, etc… There’s too much rock being put into country
I couldnt have said it better
and what is up with the announcers that arent country??? they just screw up the flow of the show, ya know what i mean?
Carrie says:
The bonde guitar playing sweated on me at a concert once…had front row….soooo hot…lol
Kelly says:
Do ya’ll think anyone from CMT or anywhere else will ever read these posts? I just wonder — if they do, I hope they listen to what we say –
Karen says:
Great song, Kenny. If we’d all just go by those words! Sounds good too. A real singer!
Rachel says:
Iwas hoping that Trace would win the award. I’m going to see him in concert in 3 weeks. I love Myley Cyrus, but I hoped that she would have sung a little better tonight. Although, I loved that intro skit with Trace trying to get tickets. Congrats Trace!!! I cant wait to see you live!!!! Also, congrats to all of the other winners!
Carrie says:
blonde
connie says:
my god of all the people snoop dog
Susie says:
Lisa Kae, the mix up of announcers is only a ploy to pull in more viewers. I’m not happy about it either. They are getting away from true country tradition.
GARY says:
Johnny Cash Visionary Award WHO WON THIS YEAR?
Susie says:
Oh Sorry!! That should be for Keeley! OOOOPS!
jnjlee says:
Eagles are coming up soon with the Top Video!!! Oooh-who is it going to be??
Kelly says:
Rachel, if you have never seen Trace, you will melt - he’s awesome!! I Love it when he sings, This Ain’t No Thinking Thing and starts dancing around — ooooo baby!!
Keeley says:
Kelly says:
Posted: April 14th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Do ya’ll think anyone from CMT or anywhere else will ever read these posts? I just wonder — if they do, I hope they listen to what we say –
I sure hope so, cuz they really need to change it…alot for next you…if that makes ANY sense at all…
Carrie says:
I hold my man too tight sometimes…fear i guess…love your man but dont loooooovee him…gets a little scary…lol
Karen says:
It should be Sugarland. Great song.
Carrie says:
When Trace swings his hips…watch out…puts you in a Trace Trance lol
Courtney says:
I loved Sara Evans!(she is my favorite)She looked amazing and was great!love you girl!
Courtney
P.S.
Jay is HOTT!hehe :)
Kelly says:
You are too right, Carrie!! lol
Carrie says:
Eagles rock…!!
Keeley says:
Carrie says:
Posted: April 14th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
I hold my man too tight sometimes…fear i guess…love your man but dont loooooovee him…gets a little scary…lol
AMEN to that!
Susie says:
Carrie, he feels the same way about me, sometimes I have to worry about him looooooooving me that way. But we’ve found our soulmates in each other! We are very blessed. Not scary at all.
Kelly says:
Here we go — video of the year
drumroll please………………
Keeley says:
THE ANTICIPATION IS KILLING ME!!
jnjlee says:
Cross y’alls fingers!!!
Carrie says:
Excellent call voters. Good pick in my opinion.
John Green says:
Why would they put an old burned out rock person on this???
jnjlee says:
All excellent videos!
Kelly says:
If it’s Taylor Swift, I’m going to puke
Carrie says:
hubby told me brad one…meant brad was on…sry
Susie says:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Keeley says:
dang it! i was voting for sugarland!!
John Green says:
Good choice taylor rocks!!!
Kelly says:
That’s it — I’m done with CMT - CHOKE AND PUKE!!!
jnjlee says:
Booo Yahhh! Go Taylor!!!!
Karen says:
I’m done. This is a joke. I’m going to bed.
Susie says:
Kelly, I’m puking with you!
Carrie says:
Taylor?? i guess all the kids voted…good for her though.
Lisa Kae says:
Are you kidding me?
Robert says:
I did not think Joe Walsh could look eney worse I was wrong damn he looks bad
jnjlee says:
My daughter is ecstatic!!!
Kly says:
whadda !@#$*&^(!!!?? stop the NONE COUNTRY people please!! like someone said earlier…. it takes the country flow away rfom the show… sux actually…
Kelly says:
This is one more argument for parental control over computers — the influx of 14 year olds online voting over and over again has ruined the awards show!!
Dottie N says:
way to go taylor
Keeley says:
dont get me wrong taylors cool and all but i was really pulling for SUGARLAND!!!
Carrie says:
bye all thanks for chatting…c ya
jnjlee says:
Everyone gets their day! good night y’all! great chatting!
Rachel says:
Tace has already put me in a trance….lol! Congrats to Taylor Swift!!!!!
Kelly says:
Well ya’ll, here’s hoping that CMY listens to us - have a good night!! — that was an awkward moment — poor Carrie almost got skipped. Too funny!!
Keeley says:
ok now carrie is the only who has sounded great 2night!
Linda says:
Kelly you are 100% correct and it is a real shame that no one with real talent won in this important category. YUK
GARY says:
I think them not having the Johnny Cash award anymore again taking away from the word “country” they did the same thing with the Minnie Pearl Award it seems Country is fading and more commericalism HOW DARE THEY
Carrie says:
nice pink sparkle mic…lol
Lisa Kae says:
Where’s King George? NOT THERE!!!
Keeley says:
ok now carrie is the only who has sounded great 2 nite
Billy says:
Im sorry but country music is going down hill…….No Eric Church???????
Susie says:
Yes Gary, you are right! Country music had to start somewhere and it wasn’t with these rockabilly stars we are seeing today!
KatieAnn says:
Sugarland should have won! That sucks.
Carrie says:
whats with the bunched up hair clog on the side of her head
Kly says:
yup kellly.. your soooooo right! i want the old sound & lyrics back !

Susie says:
The outfits tonight had a lot to be desired. I don’t think any of them looked decent. They all looked like they were pregnant!
Rachel says:
It pissed me off that Christian Kane didn’t win Supporting Character of the year. I love him, he’s so HOT!!!!!!!!
Chris says:
Poor Carrie…she looks wiped out! I think she needs to take a break from everything. I would love to have her over for a homemade dinner…lol
Louis C says:
Sorry, but Carrie U. sounded like I expected. Nearly perfect. Taylor is the flavor of the month now for the young fans, and she does write her own songs, which is a plus. The ‘tweens love Miley, despite tonight. Out.
Susie says:
That’s Taylor’s problem, she writes her own songs!
jeannie says:
I was disappointed that Kenny didnt get any awards tonight but I did get to see him perform..RIGHT ON KENNY!!! RUTLEDGE TN LOVES YA BABY!!!!
jeannie says:
Sugarland was awesome as always!! I must have missed them performing. I was really hoping to see that!! Oh well..i have the video so i will just have to be content!! Great show CMT
Susie says:
I have to disagree Jeannie. This year’s show was pitiful. I hope they listen and read our comments. Stick with the tradition of country music.
Cindy says:
WOW. Pretty lame blogging for being backstage and getting all the scoop. Nothing on here for a whole 30 mins after the show ended? I hope they didn’t pay the guy alot.
alice says:
billy and miley ty you where great. i always knew you would be back strong billy ray. alway’s a fan
brianna says:
your blog is hilarious, but not one comment on Toby Keith? c’mon Shane…the trailer to his movie looked amazing…a hot chick hopped up on stage while he was singing hottie…maybe a little less Tom Arnold next time…
Georg says:
This show was the terrible. I can’t believe Taylor won. Goes to show it was a bunch of kids texting up a storm for her to win. She wan’t even on key part or most of the time tonight. Miley was terrible too.
Carrie and Sugarland (and the others who sung with them) were the best of the night.
Next year CMT, do a better job with the sound, and keep it country. I mean Snoop dog? Come on!!!
Love you Carrie, sorry you didn’t win. They say this is a fan voted show but it’s really fans that know how to use a computer voted show (or as on VofY text). There are many out there who are not very familiar with using computers but are big fans. SO I don’t think this show is completely accurate in showing who the fans like best. I’m not just saying that because my favorites didn’t win. Some I wanted to win did win. This should be the computer fan voted awards show. Sorry CMT but this show was a dud. Oh and sorry everyone else for such a long comment, it’s my only one and last one of the night. Glad for those of you whos favorite won. Goodnight all!
Georg says:
One more thing and I promise I’m off here. Naomi Judd. I love her but something was off with her tonight.
sue says:
did anyone besides me notice that kimberly williams-paisley and brad were not looking too happy with each other? the body chemisty said a lot…..hope it isn’t another marriage going south, hope it was just a few bad shots
Vicki says:
Hi….love Toby, and I really dont think that girl was part of the act,but I could be wrong. I have it all on DVR so I will go back and watch it. I also think Reba and Kelly should have won…I cant stand Sugarland..sorry…I cant wait for Toby’s new movie. Im going to the premiere this time! Bight Y’all from Texas!!!!
Vicki says:
I mean night..lol
Kara says:
Carrie Underwood should have won both her Cmt Awards tonight I’m so upset she didn’t. She looked beautiful tonight and she sounded awesome as always tonight!!! She was my favorite performance tonight on the show!!! Beeing a Oklahoman myself Carrie should have taken home her Awards. She is the only reason I watch Awards shows in the first place.
Donna says:
I don’t understand why Tim and Faith didn’t win.
Really, all those fans screaming during their performance.
They were awesome.
Love ya always Tim.
Judy says:
What happened to country music? I guess no one will fill George Jones shoes.
Rory says:
I enjoyed seeing all our country folks out there and enjoyed hearing some of of the new up and coming folks like Luke Bryan and Ashton Shepard. I feel bad for Billy Ray, poor guy looked like a deer in the headlights with the poor teleprompting going on and lame jokes on him, he deserves better than that. Was surprised to hear the out of tune singing from Miley and Taylor, both have really excellent voices and last night was not there best show. Anyone else get a load of all the really really short skirts out there, not that I am complaining, all the ladies looked great :) growl! Loved the group song with Sugarland, Little Bigtown and Jake Owen, was killer!! So many artists deserved those awards, we are truly blessed to have such a great community of singers and writers. When I look at guys like Snoop Dog it only becomes more apparent that country music is by far the best genre out there for talent and quality. As for Snoop going on stage, I don’t know if there were boos from the audience, but I was booing him at home.
Aubrey says:
So did anyone else notice that Snoop Dog was being BOOED?!?! I can’t believe they would bring him on a show like this. How pitiful. And I also can’t believe that Taylor Swift won video of the year over Kenny Chesney. They brought way too many people on the show this year NOT associated with country music, which just totally ruined it for me. Bobby Brown? Snoop Dog? Come on… you just shouldn’t mix rap and country. CMT… better luck next year.
Judge says:
I know the CMT video awards are picked by the fans. Thank God for the fans for some of these winners. Let me first say that I am a huge Bucky Covington fan and loved his small portion of his song. I have seen him many times and he always sounds great live, but what impressed me the most about Bucky was the fact that he played the guitar that he was presented for Christmas from his fan club. That speaks volumes to us. Bucky may not have won an award but he thanked us for our support, in the most unique way ever, by playing “our” guitar. One thing the some of the ‘winners’ need to rememeber “always thank your fans!” because without them…your back at sonic.
George says:
Miley can’t sing. Screeching would be a better description. Ouch my ears hurt!!!
Konnie says:
I agree with most everyone here. Taylor CAN’T sing! HOW could you have beat out KENNY!!! He is the BEST of the BEST! The only reason I watch these shows is to see him wins his much deserved awards and YES I voted NUMEROUS times last night for him on the VIDEO of the YEAR! As someone said above; I am also called Mrs Chesney here at work; and my children tease me about Kenny being my boyfriend! I live to see him! He was AWESOME last night!! BUT WHY PUT HIM ON AT 10:15??? Saving the best for last? Wait; that was Carrie U and I am totally sick of her too! Way overplayed in the radio business!
Carol Waibel says:
Go Taylor Swift!! She is such a talented young star-same age as my son, and she is just so sweet. Whoever say`s negative things about her, is just simply jealous!
Kenny says:
I think this were by far the WORST awards show ever! Brad Paisley totally deserved to win video of the year and male video of the year. Not Taylor Swift who just gets fans off of myspace to vote for her. Brad Paisley is so HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carrie says:
I was so horrible at the award show last night. I shoudn’ve got invited. No wonder I don’t have a boyfriend!!!!!!!!!
ansley:) says:
oh, my god I LOVE keith urban! He had a great performance. Rascal Flatts rocks!!! Taylor swift you totally deserved that award! You go girl :)
jessica says:
I agree that Kenny shoulda won the video of the year award but the people that put taylor swift and carrie underwood are just JEALOUS!!!! Taylor and Carrie are really talented girls and are just as good as everyone else. You people need to quit watchin the CMT awards show if you hate it that much!
Leslie says:
Well, sorry about the delusions you must be under Carol, but we are all not jealous of Taylor. She really can not sing live. I’ve seen her live when she was opening for Brad Paisley and it was just as bad as it is on TV. She’s cute but there’s something a bit odd about her features that makes her face look a little different not in a bad way but in a strange way. So, I’m not jealous of her looks either. Also someone really should tell her that Faith Hill was probably JOKING when she said to take off her heels. Who doesn’t have the class to keep their shoes on at a function? Taylor. Had by some chance Faith made that comment, I’m sure she would have had the class to put her shoes on before accepting an award. All in all, there were more deserving artists up for video of the year and female video. Especially because Taylor’s video consisted of laying/standing/sitting in pretty dresses.
Donna says:
No matter what else is going on Alan Jackson still turn’s them on.
He’s always made me smile.

Gene says:
Well last night made up my mind that I will neer watch a so called Country Award show again. Snoop Dogg, Paula Abdul, Tom Arnold, etc on a COUNTRY SHOW? What was that? And Taylor Swift taking a shower in front of everyone !!!
Maybe there shoudl be an award show for the real country artists like Reba, Alan, George Strait, those that still make country music and then the Country/Rock Awards for the remainder of those artists that should be opening a KISS concert !
