What are your favorite performance(s) from this year's ACM Awards? Vote for up to your Top 5.  Disclaimer: I didn't exclude the New Artist performance slots since they only got to sing for like one minute each, lol. |

Top five:
- George Strait "All My Ex's/Let It Go" - he sounded fantastic
- Keith Urban and Eric Church on "Raise 'em Up"
- Rascal Flatts and Christina Aguilera "Riot" - I liked this way more than I thought...great performance
- Kenny Chesney "Young/Wild Child"
- Brooks & Dunn "My Maria"

None of the performances blew my mind, but I also found none of them to be terrible either (I did miss a few though). I voted for Sippin' On Fire since it's not getting any love on here, and the fact that the stage setup was the best of any performance.

1. Little Big Town's performance was my favorite. Shocking, right?  . It was absolutely stunning. 2. Dan + Shay and Nick Jonas 3. Jason Aldean's medley 4. Reba McEntire's medley 5. George Strait Also loved Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Lady Antebellum, and Martina McBride. Many of the performances tonight were great. I was impressed. |

What? Why was this performed? More specifically: To honor the 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing incident. More generally: It was the ACM Awards' 50th anniversary so multiple legends were given performance slots (as well as Milestone Awards for some of them). If you didn't notice, Martina McBride and Brooks & Dunn also performed old hits, and George Strait and Reba McEntire segued into their new singles after performing an older hit or hits. |

1. Reba McEntire
2. Little Big Town
3. Rascal Flatts/Christina Aguilera
4. Miranda Lambert
5. Dan + Shay/Nick Jonas
Reba and Little Big Town stole the show. Both were phenomenal. I was also really impressed that Christina Aguilera being a guest vocalist actually worked well. She and Gary LeVox admittedly sounded great together on "Riot," and she kept her wailing in check for the performance. Miranda was great entertainment as usual and while I don't believe Nick Jonas belonged anywhere near that ACM stage, I thought the collaboration with Dan + Shay was quite nice and I loved Nick's vocals.
Honorable mentions to George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Dierks Bentley, and Lady Antebellum.

At least we didn't get any country/hip hop crossover debuts.
