I kind of skimmed the comments here, but I have to say, I would truly love to see Reba take home FVOTY. Her album is great and she seems to have a great resurgance this year.Β Definitely won't happen, but a nomination could very well happen.

Entertainer of the Year:Jason Aldean Luke Bryan Blake Shelton FGL Kenny Chesney Little Big Town Alternates: Keith Urban Eric Church Unfortunately, I don't see Carrie receiving a nomination this year, because she's been excluded from this category even during very successful/active album eras, and she's in between album eras now. FemaleCarrie Underwood Kelsia Balerina Kacey Musgraves Miranda Lambert Reba It'll be a battle between Kacey and Miranda. and I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Kacey take this, just to give it to someone besides Lambert. Male Blake Shelton Jason Aldean Sam Hunt Luke Bryan Kenny Chesney or Keith Urban Alternates: Tim McGraw or switch Hunt for Eric Church I think they'll give at least one new male a shot, and it Hunt's nomination to lose. The rest of the slots will likely be filled with the usual veterans. The last slot is a bit of a tossup, Urban or Kenny could easily fill it, since both were active this year, it's hard to say who will triumph. Keith had the radio hit, but Chesney is a usual touring monster, and neither can be discounted. AlbumEric Church- The Outsiders Little Big Town- Pain Killer Kenny Chesney- The Big Revival Jason Aldean- Old Boots, New Dirt Kacey Musgraves- Pageant Material Alternates:"Jekyll + Hyde," Zac Brown Band Montevallo- Sam Hunt Bringing Back The Sunshine- Blake Shelton I'm thinking this will be a race between the critical darlings, (Church + Musgraves), but I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see LBT take this, since they've easily been the most visible act in the format lately. Single: Girl Crush- Little Big Town Keith Urban ft. Eric Church- Raise 'Em Up Girl In A Country Song- Maddie and Tae Sangria- Blake Shelton Talladega- Eric Church Alternates: Dirt- Flordia Georgia Line Something In The Water- Carrie Underwood Homegrown- ZBB This category's tough, because there were quite a few visible hits this year (in comparison to other years with alternate selections that are thrown in the mix), so this category will likely be stacked (and probably surprising with a nod or two). I hate that I was hesitant to even put Maddie and Tae in the running because of the treatment of females lately, but this song was so massive, it would be absolutely nuts to ignore it. Tim always seems to be a darkhorse, so I could easily see him sneaking a nod here. I'm not the biggest fan of "Homegrown," but I'd actually be really happy to see it score a hod here, because it's so different from anything else on the radio right now. "Girl Crush" is the clear winner here, but the nominees were tough to narrow down. Group Lady Antebellum Little Big Town Rascal Flatts The Band Perry Zac Brown Band Again, it's LBT's award to lose. I wouldn't be opposed to an upset even though it won't happen SongAmerican Kids- Kenny Chesney Girl In A Country Song- Maddie & Tae Girl Crush- Little Big Town Diamond Rings And Old Barstools- Tim McGraw Alternates: Say You Do Dirt Homegrown The nominees won't matter much, because (again), it's LBT's to lose. DuoFlorida Georgia Line Big & Rich Dan & Shay Thompson Square Maddie & Tae FGL will take it, obviously. Why did they combine Group/Duo again? So much filler. New ArtistSam Hunt Cole Swindell Kelsea Ballerini Frankie Ballard Maddie & Tae Don't know, don't care ( unless a woman wins)
It's probably Hunt's award to lose, though.

Am I the only one who thinks Kacey doesn't have a shot in hell at Female Vocalist? Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I think it's definitely a battle between Miranda and Carrie. Of those two, I'm not sure who will win, but I'm pretty sure they'll get the heavy majority of votes... Just wondering what other people are thinking...

This is her best chance in years, so I think it is a possibility (albeit a small one). Miranda is on a bit of a down turn right now (though still very successful), Carrie is between albums, and Kacey hasn't had much commercial success (outside of strong album sales). If ever there was a year for Reba to get it again, this is it.

There is no way Reba is winning... Sorry, guys. I LOVE Reba and I would never be upset to see her win. However, Carrie, although between albums, had the busiest and most successful year of the bunch, and released some of her most critically acclaimed material yet. Miranda charted two songs, but neither were anything near as big as Carrie's songs, and she toured most of the time. Kacey and Reba both released albums but have struggled at radio; Kacey more so than Reba. But still, I think neither did nearly enough to win. I think there's a stronger case for Kelsea to win than Kacey or Reba... We'll see, but I definitely wouldn't put my money on Kacey or Reba! Maybe next year?...

I mean, she was the least successful nominee when she won Best New Artist in 2013 and Follow You Arrow was the least successful song among last years contenders for Song Of The Year, still she managed to get both awards on the back of the quality of her material... Her lack of radio support is a point against her, for sure, but I wouldn't say she has no chance only because of that when she already proved us she can win awards without it in the past.

Kacey Musgraves winning Female Vocalist isn't as likely as a Miranda Lambert or Carrie Underwood win this year, but she's probably third in line. Her winning wouldn't be absurd to me, but I don't think it'll happen. With that being said, I really don't know who will win this year. The awards over-saturation and new labelhead, combined with the complete silence on Lambert's front, has me thinking that this year could see a shift. If it were to shift into anyone's direction, it'd be Carrie's, but I can't imagine the year where she was "off" (I use that term loosely) because of pregnancy would be the year that she regains the title, especially since she didn't tour during the eligibility period. Kacey Musgraves toured throughout most of the entire period, but didn't release anything until "Biscuits" and Pageant Material, which came much later in the time frame.
Reba and Kelsea Ballerini don't seem like hardballers to me this year -- Reba doesn't have enough momentum going for her and Kelsea Ballerini's too new. This year could go in any direction, and while I do love Miranda Lambert, after 5 consecutive years of winning, I hope it does go in a different direction.

That's exactly how I feel about the FVotY race... I would also put Kacey third in line, but I actually think the Top3 will be pretty close. They all have stuff going for and against them. The other 2 (I'm guess Kelsea and Reba as well) as far behind in my predictions. I would love to see Kacy win here... she would be so deserving and with her lack of radio promo, It would really help her sell more records, but my gut is telling me they will give this to Carrie.

Her lack of radio support is a point against her, for sure, but I wouldn't say she has no chance only because of that when she already proved us she can win awards without it in the past. I think the Song and Single categories work a little differently than the Vocalist/Artist categories. First off, Song of the Year is awarded based on songwriting, mostly, and it exists so non-single songs can be recognized. So it would make sense for a not-so-popular song to be nominated, and win. Single of the Year reflects more in the way of success and overall popularity, hence most likely why "Follow Your Arrow" didn't win. For Best New Artist, Kacey won after having moderate radio success and massive critical acclaim. She wasn't the most popular in the category, but she was far and away the favorite to win based on a combination of critical acclaim and popularity. Now, we're two years into the future and the popularity has dwindled for Kacey. She's still a critical darling, but that alone, I don't think, wins Vocalist awards. In the Vocalist categories, it more or less comes down to overall success, exposure, and popularity. Based on that, it's not likely anyone but Carrie or Miranda will win. You also have to consider the politics behind the scenes, which has a huge part in Miranda's five consecutive wins. She was VERY successful and had a label that was fully behind her. However, with things changing at Sony and Carrie seemingly getting the bulk of Sony's support, it would appear that Carrie is the frontrunner. When nominations come out, we'll have a much better idea if the tides are changing or not. For now, I think it's a close battle between Carrie and Miranda, Carrie having the edge. With this said, I realize I could be completely wrong, but after 10+ years of following country awards shows very closely, I'd be more than willing to bet on Miranda or Carrie; not so much the other three.

I think "Follow Your Arrow" winning without hitting not even Top40 is a huge deal and a big testament of Kacey's respect. Having said that, i don't think we differ that much on this topic... I said I don't think she's the favorite or anything, my point was only that saying "she has no chance at all" is a bit too strong of a statement. Again, I would personally put her in 3rd place at the moment... i don't think any of the main contenders have had an overwhelmingly strong year to be far ahead of everyone else, they all have stuff going for and against them. I personally think Carrie may have the advantage here... I could this her getting this as a "welcome back" award after so many losses and her first big break from the business due to her pregnancy.

No doubt! I was ecstatic when FYA won, I was rooting for that song the day it was announced as a single. I'm not taking away the prestige of FYA winning at all, I was just saying that the award is meant so songs that aren't necessarily singles, or hit singles can at least have a shot at recognition. More often than not popular songs win both categories; Kacey was the exception, and I'm so happy for that. Especially with the song "Follow Your Arrow", one of my favorites, ever.

My predictions.
Entertainer of the Year: Jason Aldean Luke Bryan Blake Shelton Florida Georgia Line Keith Urban Garth Brooks
I think this combines the leaders in touring, sales and hits.
Female Carrie Underwood Kelsea Ballerini Kacey Musgraves Miranda Lambert Reba
I would be absolutely stunned if it is anything but this.
Male Blake Shelton Jason Aldean Tim McGraw Luke Bryan Keith Urban
I keep thinking Tim will get back in, and I have thrown him safely in the mix. There are so many deserving male artists, but these are the five that I expect with maybe Dierks thrown in the mix somewhere.
Album
The Outsiders - Eric Church Pain Killer - Little Big Town Old Boots, New Dirt - Jason Aldean Pageant Material - Kacey Musgraves Montevallo- Sam Hunt
I don't think you can deny Hunt's sales here.
Single:
Girl Crush- Little Big Town Sangria - Blake Shelton Talladega - Eric Church Something In The Water - Carrie Underwood Say You Do - Dierks Bentley
Girl Crush is going to win, but congrats on the noms ;)
Group
Lady Antebellum Little Big Town Rascal Flatts The Band Perry Zac Brown Band
Parmalee or A Thousand Horses could sneak in, but I do not expect it.
Duo Florida Georgia Line Brothers Osborne Dan & Shay Thompson Square Maddie & Tae
Big & Rich do not have much of a voting block, so I look for T2 to get in over them.
New Artist Sam Hunt Cole Swindell Kelsea Ballerini Tyler Farr Chris Stapleton
Hunt's award to lose, but this category really could spotlight the difference in what is considered country music right now.

^I hope every one of those happens, except duo, but it's inevitable. Do you really think Kenny will win EOTY, I'm not even sure he'll be nominated. Really hope the Carrie stuff comes true.

I'm not sure he'll be nominated either, but I do think he has as good a case as any to win it. He had 3 number one singles in the eligibility period and a number one album. He's got a pretty intense stadium show tour going on. Not to mention he is making a big comeback and he's pushing 50 years old.

I would be beyond ecstatic if "Something in the Water" won anything. Its best shot would be Video of the Year, though. Assuming it's nominated... Ughh I can't help but get my hopes up! Can't wait for the nominations to come out!!!

Well for sure Miranda's album will get nominated doesn't matter that it was released last year it still will and I imagine zac brown band may get a nod for album of the year with their mixing of styles it would be a nice place for them. Also possibly little big town since girl crush was such a. Big critical acclaim song even though I didn't like it.

I know it won last year but I was merely joking about the fact that the award shows will do anything to give awards to Miranda weather she deserves them or not.

Luke's getting his second Entertainer of the Year award this year there's no competition for it really his closest competition again would be Blake Shleton but I doubt he will pose a threat and also maybe Florida Georgia Line moves into that category this year and Jason Aldean. I guess it's possible Garth Brooks gets nominated and we saw George Straigt win with zero radio sparks a few years ago but at least his single charted so yea that's not happening. Tim am grade could be an outside chance as he's had a strong year in my opinion as could Zac Brown Band but none have had Luke's kind of year.

"Platinum" won last year. It cannot and will not be nominated. I know it won last year but I was merely joking about the fact that the award shows will do anything to give awards to Miranda weather she deserves them or not. Oh, gotcha... With all due respect, grammar is truly useful on discussion boards. I had absolutely no clue you were joking. I mean this as a word of advice, not as an insult at all. I do agree, Little Big Town and Zac Brown Band are two very likely nominees for Album of the Year. I'd throw Kacey Musgraves and Reba in there, too. However, personal bias has a lot to do with my latter two choices. We'll see!!!

Thank you and I realized after you said something that you would have had no way of knowing I was joking so I'm sorry for that. And personally I agree with you on musgraves and re as albums Botha re stellar I just don't know that Reba has the kind of mainstream attention to be nominated for an award such as this anymore. If I took her out pesto ally I feel Darius Ruckers current album sounds really good
