Today is Miranda Lambert's birthday. I wonder if she got a present from the C.M.A. this week.

So basically this guy spends his whole article talking about ways the show brought up recent events while simultaneously complaining about their lack of desire to bring up recent events, then goes on to acknowledge Keith Urban's performance of a recent event while immediately calling it "questionable." And, finally, ends the article with a statement that actually HAS something to do with country music--a direct insult to its lack of identity--while backhandedly saying it should have focused more on giving an identity to the awards show by discussing things that have nothing to do with the identity of country music in the first place. I personally thought they were right on target. They focused greatly on things that have happened--moreso than in prior years--while paying tribute to those we've lost as well as honoring the folks who shaped country music in the past year. Glad this guy didn't direct the show. The focus was on unity and healing through music. Not making a political statement.

Eh, a "unity" theme is no different than the bullsh*t "thoughts and prayers" response many give. General sentiment doesn't help much of anything. Country music can spout "unity" all it wants, but what has that done for the countless women who aren't able to make it in country music to the degree male counterparts can?

What does the Country Music Association have to do with how much airplay females get? They are somewhat restricted to honoring mainstream success, which has always been more or less determined by radio airplay. In fact, for females they seem to do their best to go beyond that airplay metric. Seems like they've favored Ballerini and Morris the past couple years, while both have had significantly less success than certain male counterparts. And they should be honored the way they are. My point is it would be questionable to decline a theme of unity just because females have been given an unfair shake at country radio lately. If you want to fix the issue, let's fix it, not question things that have good intent and are mostly unrelated.

If you want to fix the issue, let's fix it, not question things that have good intent and are mostly unrelated. Radio is in no way its own entity. The country music industry as a whole marginalizes female artists, and it's all tied together. Look how no female musician has EVER been nominated for Musician of the Year. Look how tough it is for females to get into (much less win) Entertainer of the Year. To act like that is all separate from radio play is naive at best.

Little Big Town's performance is available on streaming services. Garth's performance is available on his album.

Anderson East and Miranda Lambert are going in on Garth.
He really did make the CMA look a tad bit foolish. Whatever his reason was for lipping, he admitted it and defended it, right after winning the biggest honor of the night.

Solution: Take away his EOTY awards from the past two years and give them to the ones who truly deserved them: Carrie and Eric

I agree with them but feel kind of bad for Garth since he praised Miranda before this incident and said how well she was representing country music by choosing to sing a traditional non-single song. Kind of mean to turn around and go off at him. I’m still a little curious though why he didn’t sound sick or have a scratchy voice when he accepted his award.

Miranda had no problem with Beyonce lip syncing a couple years ago. Anderson has a profile to raise to sell his new album, so Miranda is using him to do her dirty work. It's a lip sync on a TV show, he owned up to it, and hasn't made a career of it. This isn't a good look for anyone.

The irony for me is Garth Brooks lipping his song and still delivering one of the worst vocals of the night. In all seriousness though, in the two days following the show I heard radio PDs on the air making excuses for "poor Garth" because people dragged him for lip-synching on the show. Give me a break. It was one 3 minute performance, so I call BS on the whole "I'm playing too many sold out shows so I can't stretch my voice." If that one 3 minute song on TV was really going to do any harm, then the guy probably shouldn't be playing 6 shows in a row then. /shrug Entertainer of the Year my ass. I wouldn't go to his show if he paid me to see it.

You either have a problem with lip syncing or you don't, Beyonce has a ton of awards. Seems to me what you're really upset about is the fact that Garth won EOTY, which I agree with you, it should've gone to Eric. But that's not the point Anderson/Miranda are making.

I agree. Inaugurations are different than music award shows. I expect live performances at the latter.

He was given an award for being the best entertainer in country music on the same night he chose to be the only live performer to not sing live, lol. I see nothing at all wrong with that not sitting well with other artists. Beyonce lip-synching a rendition of the national anthem a few years ago is irrelevant. If Garth Brooks hadn't won EOTY, I doubt the lip-synching would be getting more than a few passing mentions and be buried in yesterday's news.

In my opinion Miranda and East should hush. I'm not a fan of lip syncing, but I would rather have him Lip sync then sing a song when he's not feeling right. The results were already determined before he won so, it wouldn't have effected the category. And by the way she is nothing compared to Garth, and I don't know anything bout him. At least he admitted it and didn't deny it like Britney. A few years ago Gary LeVox did it and nobody seemed to care, so why care now. Plus Beyoncé did it In front of our president, she also lip synced during Super Bowl halftime. And it happens during parades and holiday concerts.

I think Anderson's point seems very clear by his last sentence that it bothered him that the lipsynching happened to a country artist at an award show celebrating country music. Him quoting Garth's excuse that he decided to lipsynch to "represent country music the best way he could", makes it clear that it does not feel right for him considering what the country genre specifically represents. Bringing Beyoncé, Britney, the Pope or anything not related to country into discussion makes no sense at all to his point.

Cause you're a huge fan of Beyonce, then Beyonce can lip-sync but Garth can't? How disgusting Miranda is.

I think the people who are upset at Garth are mostly the people who had a horse in the EOTY race. As a big EC fan, I found it annoying, as I'm sure diehard Luke/Chris fans felt the same
