Alright…its a night of great country music….looking forward to some amazing performances this year….
Country rules tonight…
Taylor Swift’s opening performance was laughable!
you guys are the best coountry singers ever!!!
i love you!!!
Cannot wait to see Chris Daughtry and Vince Gill perform!!! Seeing Chris this weekend in Huntington, West Virginia!!
I absolutely love Carrie and Brad as co-hosts!
OH MY GOSH! Taylor Swift can’t carry a tune in a bucket! What has this industry come to? Are listeners tone deaf???
I am tired of that “bubble gum” sound and she is off key all the time.
I agree….every time she sings live, she’s off key.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one that noticed!! I really can’t believe she is so popular, she is really not all that talented.
as a singer that is, she is a good songwriter and a pretty good role model.
Must be the really young that like her music,she really sounds bad live.
Well she can easily choose to lip-sync like 90% of singers today, but she doesn’t. Instead, she goes out there everytime singing with her heart and soul and for that, I love her. So screw perfection that’s made the industry so keen on using autotune. Besides, Taylor Swift is still very young and her voice will develop more as she grows.
but to win vocalist of the year. I like her as a person she is a sweet girl and an great songwriter, but the best female vocalist in country music????
To me, her voice is perfectly imperfect. She is no Martina, but who is!?!?
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill – Hottest Country Couple!!
And the drunkest. They were basically holding each other up. Faith’s eyes couldn’t even focus and Tim sounded like they had to wake him up before coming on stage. Classy.
Yeah, I agree Brian. However, Taylor may not be able to sing, but she has heart!
She’s real though and the same can’t be said for most her age with all the digi-toned voices. She writes her own (really good) songs,and puts 150% into her shows and communication with her fans . I’m happy my daughter is a fan, she’s got her act together.
love the CMA’s
I saw the opening show of Daughtry’s tour in Topeka last month. Amazing! A little loud, but a great show!
Taylor Swift = Epic Failure once again! lol She was so so bad and off key that it was good! lol Great way to start off the night! got my popcorn going on now! lol Woohoo! Bring on more William Hung– oops- I mean- Taylor Can’t Sing Swift! lol Classic!
Taylor did not sound good at all. She is talented, but not at singing live. Carrie and Brad are unbelievably funny and talented!!! They are the best, sign them up for next year already.
Is it just me or is the sound quality awful??
IT IS TERRIBLE??? Are the sound people not hearing this???
Wow Carrie and Brad are doing great as hosts! so funny with their little singing skits! loved the kanye skit and the Swine flu bit! Carrie is doing amazing!
I totally agree, Michael. The hosts are making the show fun to watch.
That girl sings like an angel.
im so glad someone had the audacity to call out kanye.
Taylor owes Kanya a thank you for all the good press she got out of his interruption!
