Ok so I just watched the CMA’s and do think there is a little politics going on. ZBB with no awards? What? These guys are great and really deserved an award. I wouldn’t have tried running against Charlie Daniel’s on Devil Went Down to Georgia but it was an interesting version of it. Regardless ZBB is an awesome talent all of their own and should have been rewarded as a break out artist. Anyway had to research the internet on why they didn’t get an award and still haven’t figured it out.

I have been reading all of your comments and we are all entitled to our own opinions. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In my opinion, Taylor Swift has immense talent and this is because she has crafted her very own sound. Her voice, yes is “small”, soft and she is definitely not a powerhouse vocalist. But I have news for you people out there who disagree with her wins at the CMAs: THAT’S SHOW BUSINESS, BABIES!!!! Lastly, Martina has won several awards. Carrie has won several awards. Most of the people she has beaten out have either been nominated many times (remember, it is always an “honor just to be nominated”)and/or won many times. They’ve had their shot at it for years. Let this young vivacious beautiful sweetheart of a young lady, who by the way exudes class, manners and wisdom beyond her years, have her day in the sun. Stop hatin’.

The Zac Brown Band was asked to perform The cover of Devil by the producer. They did not ask them to play one of their songs. You don’t get to decide what you want to play on these things they tell you.

This is a funny site. I am with Tina and Really? and all of those who understand what Taylor Swift has accomplished in such a short time. She’s an awesome entertainer and talented songwriter. Funny site.

It’s not hating Taylor Swift to say she didn’t deserve the female vocalist of the year award. She is a cute kid with lots of songwriting musical talent, but, in my opinion, she is really not a singer. The only award I really take issue with is the vocalist. Zac Brown Band is just awesome, so talented. I enjoyed their cover song but would have loved to heard one by them. Their new cd is great. Surely they’ll be winning next year. I don’t think anyone can out sing Carrie Underwood, just my opinion. Sugarland’s song was beautiful, and I liked the one with Vince Gill and Daughtry, beautiful. I agree with a previous poster, In Color, is an amazing song. All and all the show was entertaining, and I enjoyed it. I wish the best for Taylor Swift, but just don’t agree with the female vocalist award.

So you guys say that someone like MArtina has the best vocals so she should have won. Some people like her did NOTHING. Taylor Swift had the best year get over it. Blah Blah Blah its over she won.

Oops! Didn’t mean to hit “Send”

But anyway, Taylor is NOT a born singer! Her type singing can be heard in any bathroom shower in the nation ~ including mine!

I’ve never been on this blog before, so I don’t know the characters here, but I’ve read through every post, and I really don’t think anyone “HATES” Taylor Swift or that they even don’t recognize she has oodles of fans! It’s just that the girl CANNOT SING WORTH A NICKEL! I’ll admit, I am one of those American Idol fans who has been listening to Country music only since Carrie won Idol. And then there was Kellie Pickler (who, by the way, can also outsing Taylor Swift any day (but has not won any award that I can think of), and she also wrote many of the songs on her first album)! So Taylor isn’t even the only talented songwriter! Personally, I think Taylor’s songs (about past boyfriends mostly) are sounding very much alike these days, and are becoming more boring by the minute! I do know why she is so popular though! She’s cute, friendly, plays the guitar and sings (??) ~ and little girls everywhere have crowned her their personal “princess” just like they crowned Miley before her. (These little girls love blondes, by the way.) And they love it when she “flings” that blonde hair all over the place. To them, it doesn’t matter that she can’t sing ~ after all, most of them can’t either ~ so she sounds just like them! So they run out and buy her records, and beg Mom & Dad to take them to her concerts ~ and so the $$$ keep flowing in! That’s how she makes all those millions! So the rest of the world (Country fans and Pop fans alike) must SUFFER like we did a few nights ago! It’s very sad, but true. Someone above said she’s nervous, and so young? Well, I could name a bunch of singers her age who sing beautifully, acapella. Youth has nothing to do with it when you’re a born singer!

The amount of hate here is pretty disturbing. While I agree that Taylor’s greatest strength is her heartfelt and real songwriting, she should be allowed to not be crucified for singing since they are her own songs! I can think of several other singers whose singing is comparable to Taylor’s or even less tolerable that have become SUPERSTARS because of their bodies-not their talent. I have no expectation of any of them spelling correctly much less putting a complete thought in a rhyme!
I am pretty sure that Kris Kristofferson was not treated or condemned this way and God love him, being brilliant(a Rhodes Scholar) couldn’t help him overcome the reality that on his best day, he simply couldn’t sing 5 notes without slightly mangling 2 of them. He wrote some of the best country songs ever though. Why should she give up the credit for her song? I doubt many people know that Billy Joel wrote “Shameless” not Garth. And if you do, would you have remembered it if Joel wasn’t famous already? Leave Taylor’s singing alone.

Taylor Swift was the least person i thought should win female vocalist of the year. She shouldn’t even have been nominated. Carrie Underwood should have won. Taylor is NOT a good singer. she should be a song writer alone! She also should not have one entertainer of the year. And I am just as confused with her winning female vocalist and entertainer of the year as Lady Antebellum winning vocal group! Rascal Flatts should have won!!! This has been one of the biggest jokes of the cmas ever.
