Absolutely disgusted by the BLABR song of the year nom. Who the hell decided that? How is that even eligible? That song needs to be left in 2017. Anyway, that category should have been:
Heaven Tequila Cry Pretty Mercy Drowns the Whiskey

Hereβs my Critique:
Entertainer: I still donβt think Stapleton is a Entertainer. Thomas Rhett wouldβve been my fifth choice. Female: honestly whenβs the last time Kacey had a good charted radio hit? 2013 βBlowin Smokeβ. Lauren or Carly shouldβve been number 5 Male: Stapleton, Urban, Combs, and Thomas are good. My 5th choice wouldβve been Brett Young over Dierks. Group: Group I guess is good. Maybe ZBB is missing Duo: is perfect. New: how long can my girl Lauren be new? She was new in 2011. Janson was new in 2010. Carly and LanCo should b in there spots Album: βGolden Hourβ βMountainβ wouldnβt have been my choices βHappy Endingsβ And βKane Brown Deluxeβ would b my replacements Single: βDrinking Problemβ And not my choice βDrinking Problemβ I didnβt think it was eligible. How bout βMercyβ or βEvery Little Thingβ Song: βBody Like A Backroadβ is it eligible? How bout βMercyβ or βEvery Little Thingβ Video: βCry Prettyβ Video is boring. How bout βWhen It Rains It Poursβ or βI Hate Love Songsβ Vocal Event: βBurning Manβ? How bout βTake A Back Home Girlβ or βComing Homeβ

I have nothing against Sam Hunt, but "Body Like A Backroad" needs to go away.
Music Video is STACKED this year. But "Tequila" needs to win. One of the best videos that I've seen in a long time.
How long is Lauren going to be considered new? Enough already. She deserves to be in Female Vocalist.
And it's great to see Sugarland back with 2 nominations. Wish they had been nominated for Musical Event, though.
Oh, and "Take Back Home Girl" should've been nominated.

Wow! Kacey for album!? Warranted, and it is the clear winner but I am SHOCKED it was nominated!
Not enough women representation overall, but whats new?
Lauren Alaina is not new... LOL
Body Like a Back Road needs to DIE!

Lauren has been making music for the majority of the decade. Iβm happy to see her name somewhere, but I wouldβve loved to see her nominated for Female Vocalist... sheβs not even remotely new anymore, theyβve gotta look at their criteria because there are plenty of NEW artists who deserve some recognition...

Pleasantly surprised that Kacey was nominated! BLABR can go burn in hell now, how that got nominated for song is a mystery... Happy Dierks got nominated for something, please let him win AOTY if not Kacey. Also, once again, no female country artists in Entertainer & only a feature on Song and Single other than Bebe Rehxa :/
Here's to hoping we are having a bunch of girls performing at least.

it's not always about the girls. So females not being nominated for a lot is not important. I hope "Drowns The Whiskey" gets them all.

I also always read what I post before I summit it.

I am sad Carly Pearce didn't even get a single nomination, she deserved it. I love Lauren Alaina but Carly Pearce should have gotten the token female slot for new artist just for the simple fact that Carly Pearce was more successful in radio than Lauren Alaina. Carly Pearce should have gotten new artist and Lauren Alaina female vocalist in exchange for Miranda Lambert who really did nearly nothing this past year it seems like.

I'm disappointed about the lack of nominations for Luke Bryan. "Most People Are Good" was a lock for Single/Song (imo), and I think he really should be in Male Vocalist and Album over Keith Urban.

Based on this list of nominees + the CMAβs track record? You betcha. I bet Stapleton wins EOTY this year. I'm already preparing myself for Stapleton winning a third time (second in a row)... for doing the same record, again
As disappointing as it would be, considering "Same Trailer..." lost to Blake's "Based on a True Story", it would still be an improvement Omg I literally just threw up in my mouth a little bit remembering that this actually happened

I think Mercy should be nominated for SOMETHING. Such a good song. Graffiti U shouldn't be nominated for anything tbh, and Chris Stapleton is so not a great entertainer. I also would have liked to see Carly Pearce get nominated for something.

Ugh, life is rough. Imagine how it must be dealing with people who have male country singers who sound the same and sing about the same thing get thrown in their face all the time. Or imagine how it must be as one of those women not getting played, and then when they ask why, people go, "Ugh, why are you throwing this in my face on Twitter all the time?" Get some perspective, and maybe you won't have "Twitter throwing women not being played in your face all the time."

stanches2318 while I don't agree with all of what you have said I totally get where you're coming from. I am also gonna say this, there wasn't a lot of realistic room for females to score the extra noms. NONE OF THE WOMEN IN COUNTRY MUSIC DESERVED ENTERTAINER this year at all, none of them at all. The only females I feel were robbed was Carly Pearce for New Artist which I would have removed Lauren Alaina anyway. For single of the year, I feel like they got it right there as none of the female songs were high impact this year. I guess Song you would replace "Body Like A Backroad" with "Cry Pretty" but that seems to be the extent of it. I think a lot of these nominations are right and well deserved, and for the most part I think they got it right.

Maren Morris deserved an EOTY nom, in my opinion. Hero Tour, Body Like A Backroad Tour, Niall Horan Tour, #1 song, "Rich" climbing the charts, massive collaboration with Zedd, "Dear Hate" with Vince Gill, etc. Girl was nonstop all year. She deserved it.

She deserved it. My two cents. If Carrie has only received 1 EOTY nomination from the CMA's in her career, I don't expect Maren to get one this year even if she deserved one. Carrie's deserved more nominations than that in her career & IMO a win. But the voters seem to love male nominees in general.

Sadly, as much as I wish things weren't structured in such a sexist fashion, where the measurement or likelihood of one woman's chances of getting an EOTY nomination weren't determinant by comparison to another woman's, ...I completely agree with you.

Just a random thing, but notice how Chris Stapleton's team is almost always the last to post congratulatory stuffs on social media...

it's not always about the girls. Do you follow country music? It's never about the girls. So females not being nominated for a lot is not important. Wow Here's how I'd improve the the nominations EntertainerJason Aldean Luke Bryan Kenny Chesney Chris Stapleton Keith Urban I'm actually okay, with this. I wouldn't put a woman in here for this year. Overall, the whole year felt extremely weak for everyone. But these ones had albums and tours, so... Next year is a different story though. FemaleKelsea Ballerini Miranda Lambert Maren Morris Kacey Musgraves Carrie Underwood I'd swap Miranda for Carly Pearce or Lauren Alaina. MaleCan't really add any women here, lol! AlbumFrom A Room Vol. 2 Golden Hour Graffiti U Life Changes The MountainEasily remove Graffiti U, and sub in Girl Going NowhereNew ArtistLauren Alaina Luke Combs Chris Janson Midland Brett Young Take out Chris Janson, Lauren Alaina, and Chris Janson. They. are. not. new. Add in Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce and insert any generic male artist that's new and got his obligatory #1. Song"Body Like a Back Road" "Broken Halos" "Drowns the Whiskey" "Drunk Girl" "Tequila" Eradicate the plague first and foremost (BLABR). Insert "Cry Pretty". Take out "Drunk Girl" and put in "Space Cowboy". And I'm okay the rest of the way. Single"Broken Halos" "Drinkin' Problem" "Drowns the Whiskey" "Meant to Be" "Tequila" Remove "Meant to Be". I don't care if it is popular, or if Billboard thinks it's the greatest country song of all time. It is pop by a pop artist, riding the coattails of country, and it's not even done well. Insert "Cry Pretty". And again, I'm good. I think the Duo and Group categories are good. Musical Event"Burning Man" "Dear Hate" "Drowns the Whiskey" "Everythingβs Gonna Be Alright" "Meant to Be" Take out "Meant to Be", and trade it for "Babe". Music Video"Babe" "Cry Pretty" "Drunk Girl" "Marry Me" "Tequila" This is fine. I never really know with this one.
