It's always been the best of the award shows. That Alan Jackson is a hottie and very talented.
Did Shania really drive the motorcycle in the beginning---when she got on stage there was a smoke screen thing and you couldn't really tell.

It looked like Shania was actually driving it but I'm not sure.

As far as Alan Jackson...I agree 100 percent! Whew..that is one good looking man! :) And I love his music too. I have a little story about him that shows what a nice guy he is as well. Earlier this year my dad celebrated his 60th birthday. He was also battling cancer at the time (he won...woohoo!!). My sister and I decided to try and get 60 famous or semi-famous people who my dad liked to send him a 60th birthday card. We composed a letter and sent out about a hundred requests...everyone from the local news anchors that my dad likes to his favorite movie stars. Well much to my surprise he got MORE than 60 cards and well wishes which not only made for a special birthday, but also lifted his spirits nearly every day when the mail came! Several people sent a little personal note... including Alan Jackson...who sent a really lovely 8x10 color photo which he signed "Happy 60th Mike". Nice guy! :)

I watched the show, as well. It was great! It is much better than any other award show on TV :)

Faith Hill's performance last night was phenomenal. She has always been a good singer, but she couldn't sing like that 5 years ago. She has been going to a voice trainer recently and her improvement really shows. After the way she sang that incredibly difficult song last night, it is clear that she can truly sing anything.

I wonder what the ratings for the CMAs were. Now that country music is as popular as it was in the 90's, I wonder if people are still watching.

Man, Keith Urban is so hot. :)

i keith urban!

spy, i thought faith was really good too. you are right about her singing, she used to not be that great. just listen to "wild one", her first song, and then her later songs, she is much better. and she lost the "twang" in her voice. a lot of people don't like her because she is crossing over to pop (or selling out in their opinion). i say whatever....you go girl.

what about martina mcbride? she is awesome! she has always been awesome. after her acceptance speech for female entertainer of the year, i respect her all the more, she seems very humble and down-to-earth. and that song...makes me cry, have the cd with it on there and usually have to skip the song.

as for shania...well, if you can't say something nice.....i have never really been impressed with her.

Sherbabe... nope. He had a few nominations, but didn't win.

I think Toby Keith is a hottie, but he simply cannot sing. It is very difficult for me to listen to his more recent songs since his "vibrato" seems to be getting more pronounced and increasing painful to suffer through. Blech! But, in his "who's your daddy?" video, he has a great look with the white dress shirt and non-cowboy hat :) Yummy to look at!

Jbean, you are right -- Martina was terrific! She and Faith have the best voices in country music, IMO.

And Scorpiomoon...my brother lives in Nashville (and sings -- he's trying to get into country music) and he has been asked for his autograph many times b/c people mistake him for Keith Urban

I love the CMAs .. however, I have to keep it muted 90% of the time. WE HATE VINCE GILL in this household. Can't they find someone else to do this award show? The high and mighty supposedly so pure an innocent wife stealer makes me want to gag whenever I see or hear him.

And next, I loved the luckwarm response Shania Twit out when she went to present an award. I hope she learned from this and crawls her sorry ahem back to whatever hole she was buried in for the last year or so and stays there.

I was so happy for A.J. -- I've always been a fan of his, and it's about time he won something again!

I LOVE TOBY KEITH - he is such a fine hunk of a man - I always did have a weakness for tall husky men!!!

Sorry to disagree w/ ya Spygirl but I enjoy his songs they are funny & light hearted. He puts on a wonderful show.

He is hot, and I don't dislike his songs -- his songs are great -- his voice is not :)

I heard on the radio today that both George Strait *exuse me while I faint with Joy!* and Keith Urban both Lip Synced [or however you spell the word]. George *sighs* because he was sick and Keith because he lost his voice practicing so much because he was so nervous. Kudos for both to performing while ill.

Wow! I have found my home planet!

I thought I was the only person who disliked Shania Twain. So much so, I kept it to myself.

Yes, back when she first came out, she offered something new and interesting. But can we say overkill--with everything?

Her new song makes me sick. It sounds exactly like everything she has ever done--inane and dumbed-down lyrics included. They did so much promotion for her new CD and I am just so tired of seeing her everywhere.
