Argh. All day long I'm thinking "Don't forget the CMT awards". Guess what time that thought slipped out of my mind at.

Someone should give Trace an award for the song performed the most times at award shows. It would be between "You're Gonna Miss This" or George Strait's "Troubador"

Yeah, I tried to watch it all...but it was just a lot. Congrats to Taylor, it seemed like she was performing a lot.

I thought Kellie sounded better than normal tonight, good for her! Sugarland was great, as usual! I never get tired of watching them perform. I Thought Taylor's vocals were really rough sometimes during her first song, but I did like the performance overall. I love Dariius Rucker, but his voice sounded tired. Overall, I thought the show was a little underwhelming, but there were some highlights.

I cannot believe Lady A performed LFAGT and not IRTY!!!! That was the only reason I was going to watch the show though, so now I'm glad I missed it ;)
I did Tivo it, and i just ran through some performances.. My favorite was easily Sugarlands...I think they really deserve, and will win, EotY in due time. I skipped over Trace's, and found Taylor's to be same ole same ole. Kellie sounded better than Idol though; I do think the song works for her voice really well.

Let's see, she had a big intro part, then she sang her current song, rounded out by the duet with Deff Leppard. How would you like to be the other bands performing for 10 seconds right before the commercial breaks while a certain performer gets the sweet spot three times. Keith sounded pretty good, Kelly was good, but it seemed like everyone was slightly out of key or tired. I'm just saying.

congrats to all te winners. i saw it, i think it went all downhill(host wise) from the opening, which was really funny. Also i wished Carrie was there and had performed, the show was definately missing that. I thought all the performances were great though, Taylor had an off night though vocally :(

I agree with everyone who wished that Lady Antebellum performed "I Run To You" -- and I missed seeing Carrie. Also, I felt bad for the groups (such as Jason Michael Carrol) who only were allowed like a 10 second type performance.
Anyway, Congrats to Taylor on winning the big awards!!! It's also nice to see Brad win so many -- he's always such a class act. Does anybody else think that it would sound AMAZING if Brad did an acoustic piano type performance of "Then"?

ok some thoughts:
- when can i download "thug song" by t-pain & taylor "t-swizzle" swift....i liked the part where she got bleeped & she said "....but i didnt even swear".
- the titans have the worst football uniforms....hate that baby powder blue.
- i think its called ths taylor swift awards show....she does the intro skit, a song on the show, wins 2 awards including the biggie video of the year, & closes out the show with def lep.
- the audio cut out during "u belong with me" for like 5 seconds & the HD pic switched to SD letterbox....but that was the only real glitch of the nite.
-engvall was ok...jokes couldve been better but i guess they have to stay kinda tame.
- i dont watch many award shows but i like the stage & how the crowd emmersed everyone & the lighting was great too in HD.
-did lady a. not due "run" because they wanted an "up" song ?
-why didnt urban due "kiss a girl" ....its dead on the chart anyway now so doesnt matter i guess.
- knew keith urban would go into the crowd for his guitar solo.
- is it a rule he has to throw his guitar "pick" at the end of the song.
- dont like keiths new ? hairstyle...like the "golden road" look better.
- didnt get the waffle joke between kid rock & whomever the chick was.
- i still cant believe kid rock was married to pam andersen....sheesh.
- do brad & martina have like running jokes going ?
- doesnt it seem that some presenters are reading the banter & nominees list for the 1st time....dont they rehearse ? its so much smoother when pros do it like lance smith & katie cook.
- great to DVR a show like this (& really what show isnt great to DVR)....u can skip the performances u dont want to see & the commercials which after a nice beginning they really kill u with in the 2nd half of the show.
- also always "pad" the dvr recording by at least 30 minutes on these shows as they always run long....this was releatively good as it ran only about 13 minutes longer than it was sched for.
- liked the t-pain "twitter (or whatever) shout out" to bill oreilly.
- that girl the gymast who won dancing with the stars is "heavy"....how did she win that contest ?
-im tired of the hunting/eat meat jokes with nugent...needs a new schtick.
- when rascal flatts won kid rock said rascal flatts but they were nomd for 2 vids...he didnt say which vid won....of course u could tell from the song playin....but just sayin.
- there is always 1 presenter on an award show (pickler) that cant get the envelope open.
-glad no acoustic stuff.....that is sooooo played.
- toby keith & the guy with the dummy (never saw him b4) both got bleeped out.
-they shouldve done a contest to win & be taylors date for the show.
- at least (i lke this but others dont) in shows like this u dont have people like allysen krauss winnng an award with a cd i never heard a song from over someone that had 3 top 10 hits from a cd (i know its a video show but u get the jist)....kinda how i like the billboard awards better then the grammys....its base more on chart performance cause of the fan vote.

Michelle in her site went with her husband Teddy Landau and Ashley Monroe. Theres a picture of her and Ashley in it. Michelle has really gotten into touring shape(WOW). I'm really looking forward to her cd. She has a song with Ashley in it they wrote together and one with Dwight Yoakam also.

So it was a pretty silly awards show as usual and the jokes didn't seem to go over too well. I thought the sound was pretty bad for a lot of the show. Couldn't figure out if most people sounded real bad or the sound system was making them bad?? Loved that Dierks brought his dog Jake. Jake is soo cute! Dierks was cute at the end with Melissa Peterman. I liked how Keith got to sing with Jason Aldean. That was cool. I am quickly becoming more of a Taylor fan, especially after seeing her do a really nice job in concert last week in MD. I don't think she's a fabulous vocalist by any means but for 19 years old, she has accomplished a lot and I think she has a great head on her shoulders. Everyone keeps saying she's an old soul and is very mature for her age and I am starting to see that. I enjoyed her Dateline special and I enjoyed her performance with Def Leppard.
Sugaland doing Love Shack with the B 52s was a total surprise and quite entertaining. It was nice to see Kristian sing some too.
I was kind of surprised to see the awards were spread out pretty decently. Kind of shocked Taylor didn't win every category she was nominated in. Nice to see Zac Brown beat out Julianne Hough in a fan voted category. I am also thrilled Brad and Keith won for Start a Band.

As a big Lady A fan, I was glad to see them perform Lookin' For A Good Time...mostly because my local radio station plays I Run To You what feels like 100 times a day (yet they never played Lookin' For A Good Time once!). You know you're doing a poor job at your station when you can make even the biggest fan of a group tired of a song.
Highlights for me included Kellie Pickler (one of her stronger performances), Keith Urban, and especially Sugarland/B-52s. Not sure the latter was up to par vocally, but it definitely was very entertaining.
Engvall felt like a taxi driver host to me. He guided the car from point A to point B...but that's about it. It was better than Billy Ray Cyrus but not as good as Foxworthy.

I learned this the hard way.....the CMA's and ACM's never go long, and I wasn't expecting this to go into overtime either.....so I ended up losing the last 10 minutes of the show. (had to wait until the 11:30 airing to catch who won the final video of the year award!) Also - what the heck is the "Nationwide On Your Side award" that Gloriana won?

Wow, what happened to Miranda Lambert and Martina McBride performing? Why were they snubbed when they were nominees too? Interesting.
I am just very very glad I did not watch this show as it would have made me throw something at the tv.

This show was just not good. Glad it was DVR'd. I NEVER watch CMT anyway because they hardly ever show anything of substance.( I will be watching Can You Duet though). The performances were weak. Dierks looks completely uncomfortable on stage to me and he always has.
Darius sounded like he was screaming instead of singing.
Lady A Was good but nothing special.
Brad did good but I just haven't liked that song from Day1.
OVERKILL of Taylor. I am beginning to come around but dang.
Keith, why Sweet Thing? Push the new single. It just may need all the push you can give it by the post on this board.
Okay enough............. This show is just boring.

Of course Taylor won big! She has so many pop fans. If those fans also vote, other country stars can not compete with her. In a completely fan vote award show, country pop artists always win big.
