Congratulations to ALL Of the 42nd Annual CMA Award Winners.

Here is my quick rundown if you don’t have time to read the entire life post….

The Eagles didn’t have any business performing, Lady Antebellum won the most deserving award last night, James Otto messed up the beginning of his song but he sounded great, Jason Aldean kicks ass on stage, Darius Rucker has found a place in country music, George Strait is boring to watch but loves to take home awards, Miranda Lambert showed her soft side and we love it, Shania Twain still looks amazing but should have done more last night, yes, we know.  Carrie Underwood can sing, Kenny Chesney is still Entertainer of the Year but we DO NOT agree with this decision and finally - we saved the best for last - Rascal Flatts are still and will always be the Greatest Vocal Group of the Year!

    And, IMHO, Kellie Pickler should have done “Don’t You Know You’re Beautiful” rather than the less-known song choice.

    I missed Toby Keith, and was very impressed with Sugarland’s performance. They are not just performers, but truly great artists!

    We came to congratulate you on RF win last night - we knew you’d be excited!!! But dang girl, “Kenny Chesney is still Entertainer of the Year but we DO NOT agree with this decision” - OUCH!! We think he totally did and we’re excited for him!

    Hey Country Music is Love - I logged into your chat for a while last night. It was fun.
    Thank you for checking to congratulate on the Rascal Flatts win! IT WAS HEART POUNDING EXCITING FOR ME~ LOL. Ok, maybe I was a bit harsh on Kenny. I think I am pretty bitter about Rascal Flatts being left out of the nominations. I know you guys love some Kenny. I think I am just ready for someone else to win it is all.
