Why do we have three awards presented to people who aint even there, and Brothers Osborne wins TWO awards and doesn't get to get either of them on stage????? I mean the ACMs couldn't control when Morgane Stapleton went into labor, so... They will always present Male Vocalist and Album of the Year during the telecast, as they should. As for Sam, I have no idea why he wasn't there or why he's been MIA for months now. I love Brothers Osborne, don't get me wrong, but to suggest that the show shouldn't have presented Male Vocalist and Album of the Year simply because Stapleton couldn't be there doesn't make any sense to me. A more simple solution would just be to present Duo and Group together (not as a combined category, but announce the 10 nominees for both categories, and then do the winners). I'm sure they could have shaved two minutes off of something else to allow the Osborne brothers to get on stage and accept their Duo award. I mean I was thinking to announce Single early, and announce duo on stage. Especially if you knew Sam wasn't gonna show. I know male and album have to be on the show....just wish Brothers could have gotten some reconition on stage. Heck, they aint even said they won yet, so for the fans who aint as smart as us maybe wondering where that is.

I actually have a good feeling that Garth won't win EOTY this time (and now watch me be wrong). I soooo want you to be right though, as long as itβs now Aldean

That song is timeless. Reba and Kelly were fantastic.

Whoever thought Chris freaking Janson was a good closer needs to be freaking fired. His voice is horrendous.

What chart are you using for this? Billboard Hot 100 OK, most country songs don't hit the top 20 there, which is sad, but as someone else said, what's your point?

I know Garth hasn't won it at the ACMs the last two years. I was just trying to calm down all the people who don't like Garth, lol. Jason won it again. Not really surprised. The ACMs really must love him I guess.

Does anyone think this is influenced by the Vegas Shooting? If Garth wasn't taking it I thought Bryan was the shoe in.

Ugh, gross. At least Garth didn't win it... but still, ugh. Jason Aldean is one of the least entertaining acts in the business. I don't get the appeal.

Pardon my french.
But this shit gets to close the show and we couldn't get full performances from the actually talented Dan & Shay and Lauren Alaina.

Chris Janson must be the most anticlimactic choice for a closing act ever...

Carrieβs performance was as big a moment as it was getting hyped out to be all along. Weβre all lucky to be alive to watch such a titanβs career continue to explode into echelons we never even knew existed. And I donβt even say that with any sort of jest or exaggeration.

Talk about ending on a poor note. Jesus at this mess of a performance. I could think of a dozen better performers who could've performed tonight than this.

Whoever thought Chris freaking Janson was a good closer needs to be freaking fired. His voice is horrendous. I was thinking the same thing (minus the part about his voice being horrendous) but then...wow, I actually loved his performance! I think it was a great idea. Janson has incredible stage presence and that performance was super high energy, and that's what they're looking for to close the show. I say well done, Chris Janson.

I feel like Chris Janson is like a kid who just kept begging for something and eventually got his way.
"Can I have a performance slot?" "Can I have a performance slot?" "Can I have a performance slot?"
Eventually the producers just said "Sure, but we'll put the credits over your performance and cut you off a minute short."
That being said, I thought his energy and stage presence were pretty great actually.

Ill forgive you for not liking Kelsea's latest. But I don't know if I can forgive you for this. There is nothing redeeming about Chris Janson. NOT-A-THING.

It was definitely a MUCH better show than last year, imo. It was so so good to have Reba back as host again. I hope she returns next year as well. There's something so timeless with Reba as the host. I remember sitting on my living room floor behind the couch in my front room when I was supposed to be "asleep" and watching Reba host the awards when I was younger. Tonight was the first night watching the awards in my own place, and with her as a return host...it just feels full circle.
Favorite performances:
1) Carrie - the emotion was felt. Her performance was one for the books. 2) Reba and Kelly - I mean, I've said it already...easily could be re-recorded today and have such a great impact with the fans. 3) Lauren - Next big female artist, right here. Radio, please don't screw this up...you've already ruined a good portion of Cam's chances at having a lasting career and she deserves it too. 4) Alan and Jon - Classic. Nothing but love for the two of them. 5) Dierks - such an underrated talent that has so much fun onstage. It's a joy to watch.

Carrie seemed upset...It's not like she took a 5 year hiatus and this was her first performance. She missed a few notes which she seemed to be pissed about which is a good thing but she seemed upset and not as upbeat/happy. Not a fan of the song and havent been a fan of any of the material from her last 2 albums but there is no denying the voice.

Chris Janson is a lot of fun to watch live and I loved seeing that on the award show because I don't think he has ever really had a chance to show that side of him before on any of the award shows. He may not have the most amazing voice but he is decent enough and I do really enjoy him a lot. That being said he does have many songs that are much better than "Redneck Life" but it was still a fun performance.
