Did Keith Urban go home empty handedπ. Ouchπ I don't even care for the guys music but I thought for sure he was gonna win something He got one for "Forever Country". Well that explains it. That's great to hear, I guess.

I literally don't understand how this happened. Jason Aldean over Luke, Carrie, and Keith!? I honestly have no understanding. Like, can anyone explain!?

Damn... Tin Man is Top 10 on the all-genre iTunes Singles Chart and The Weight of These Wings is #01 on the Albums Chart...

So baffled by tonight. What just happened? It reminds me of the Presidential election. It's like the sexist pigs all got together and said they were going to show people and vote for the most ridiculous crap. In hindsight it's sort of amazing Lambert managed to win AOTY.

Well glad that painful experience is over, besides Miranda winning , the A.C.M's like the majority of so call country music are awful.

I shouldn't even be surprised by these results anymore. Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Florida Georgia Line & Thomas Rhett are all repped by WME, of course.

My gut told me to not even both watching this year, but I held on to hope that maybe it would be worth it. Nope. My gut was right. I could've looked up Miranda's and Reba's performances online tomorrow because those were the only things worth watching this for tonight... I didn't watch and clearly made the right move. Next year I won't even bother paying attention to the results.

I feel like the 50th ACM was worst, especially considering it was such a huge anniversary.

You have to give it some time after all the performances to see where it settles. But definitely the right call over WSBF, and great performance.

Yes. "Follow Your Arrow" won the CMA for Song in 2014, right? That alone is a better win than anything that happened tonight. Lambert also won Album that night, so that's a wash. Luke Bryan winning Entertainer then was more understandable then Aldean winning Entertainer tonight.

I wish WME would just buy out all the other relevant talent agencies... it's the only way to level the playing field. The politicking is ridiculous.

CMA 2014 had Kacey Musgraves win and perform with Loretta Lynn. CMT had "This Is How We Roll"

Does anybody know where I can watch the ACMS from the beginning online, without having to subscribe to anything?

I'm ready to be done with Robin Leach and his reporting. Only 40 mins in, but I know everything that happens. Including that "rumored" Shania performance that didn't happen. Twice now he has been incorrect. The last time he said, AEG confirmed a second residency.
Anywho, I thought Maren did a beautiful job with, "I Could Use A Love Song." Wishing Cam had a performance slot tonight.

You know we will always get the quirky matchups and with the new single featuring BSB, I can actually let the whole Backstreet Boys thing go. As far as FGL singles go, it is not too bad. There have been worse pairings in the past.
This whole voting block junk needs to end. Why can't they just send ballots to people and they vote who they think should win? I know that is not how things work but it should be that way.
Aldean actually sounded as good as I have heard him at any awards show. I have not seen him in concert so I can't say how his shows are. His material is constant and for the most part he doesn't stray from his formula which apparently the voters like or the voters put their money behind.
I am not sure what the voters thinking is behind not voting for Carrie. As I stated earlier, to me her music from the past few albums has gotten stale but she seems to not have the voting support for some reason.
These shows are so hit or miss (mostly miss). Very few "good performances" and more "who can we cram in in 3 hours". I will still watch because it's just a dang tradition for me. I want to see that can't miss moment that might happen and even if it doesn't, I might see an unbelievable upset like Brothers Osborn.

Wishing Cam had a performance slot tonight. She may not have gotten a performance on tonight's show, but the camera sure panned around enough to Cam showcasing her snapchatting and capturing the entire event on her phone I for one can't wait for new music from Cam and hope the last half of this year and into the next brings her all the success...she's such a joy! On a random side note, I was annoyed how often the camera came back around to the same "fan" in the audience singing along with a certain artist/song. I know for sure I saw the same guy in a tie with a button down shirt numerous times tonight, but I'm also quite certain I saw the same woman sitting in the audience singing along with a song that I saw up front during George Strait's 2014 performance of "I Got A Car."

Overall the show wasn't that good. Most of the wins were baffling, and not in a good way. And, the ACM continues to perpetuate the sexism of the industry. For the last five years the ACMs have not awarded a solo female artist for a major award (EOTY, FVOTY, Album, Song, Single) not named Miranda, with one exception where Kacey won album in 2013, I believe. This, to me, sends a message that they don't think women are worth awarding and have locked onto a token woman to award, to the point of over awarding. The ACMs, and to almost the same extent the CMAs, have followed radio's lead in not believing in the value of women in country music. Only, the scary thing is, radio is budging a little bit. Not much but a little.
And, did they get rid of the overall New Artist award?
