The Dierks and Rascal Flatts paring to sing "My Town" seems like an odd combination but Dierks and Flatts were pretty popular at radio in the mid 2000s...which is when Montgomery Gentry was at their highest level of mainstream success. In terms of era of MG, I think Dierks and Flatts made sense and perhaps they volunteered to sing the tribute of "My Town" with Eddie Montgomery.
Overall, it was a nice tribute and emotional. It would have been fine to just give the whole song to Eddie though.

I'd enjoy the Reba/Kelsea duet more if it was a different song. "Legends" just falls flat for me as a song.

A female vocalist of the year nominee should not have to come out and duet on another female vocalist nominee's current single when she has one of her own.

I know Carrie was kidding, but damn, girl, American Idol is what brought you here. Don’t act like you don’t know what it is!

I have to say so far this has been one of the best C.M.A's in along time. The tribute to Troy Gentry was fantastic and seeing all the people standing during the song was something special.

"Light It Up" sounds awful live, even worse than the recorded version, which is already really bad.

That was a strange song to make a duet, but I loved both of them on it anyway. I wish they could've just each got solo performances in hindsight though. You could tell Kelsea was so overjoyed to be able to share the stage with Reba though.
And now we have Luke Bryan performing his trash new single. Bleck.

I´ve always thought Kelsea´s songs so teen to me that I cant even enjoy it and with this new single it wasnt different.
WHY LUKE? He should have sung "Most People Are Good" or even "What Makes You Country".

Montgomery Gentry? Gary/Flatts covering the Troy parts and Dierks singing Eddie parts? Dear God please no Lol. And man oh man, Eddie Montgomery coming on stage was the greatest CMA moment I've seen. That made my whole week. I'm still trying to get myself together over that
