I am a little disappointed tonight in our current country entertainers. I really love country music, I have grown up with it, it's hard not to in Tennessee. I really learned to love it when I was in Idaho for school right after high school. Now a days I cling to it, along with my religion, I don't have any guns, But all the other junk out there just sounds like garbage to me. Tonight, I just had a hard time watching the CMAs. First off, lets start with the fact that there just isn't enough country in country music. Sure they all dress in boots, cowboy hats and snap button, but the day they all replaced the steel guitar with an electric one, that was the day this all started downhill. Call me old fashioned, but I love a fiddle and banjo. In fact just today, while I was cleaning and doing the dishes (that was my mr mom plug) I was listening to Garth Brooks' "The Cowboy Song," and I think this is what got it all started. Now I know what you are thinking, that there is some Garth out there that sounds really pop too, but I don't care because he is the best. During that song, at about 45 seconds, you hear that big bass sound kick in along with a fiddle and real country instraments. That is music you can hold someone close while your twirling around the dance floor. Then I got a little Johnny Cash in me, and after all that, the radio just ain't country enough. I guess all in all, you could say I was leaning towards bluegrass, because I think that is the sound I want.
Oh, and is it just me or does it drive anyone else completely CRAZY when you are watching people perform and they sing to each other. I can't stand that!!! I am thinking, hey, I am the fan, I buy your music so you better sing to me and quit singing to that other person on stage. Am I the only one???

You truely are a country boy. Good for you
I feel the same about rock music. Seriously rock is for football games and building houses, not girls night out!
I actually thought some of the singers sang off key. Carrie Underwood sounded totally off key when she started singing. I think they could have gotten better mc's too.
Yeah, I am a big fan of Brad Paisley, but he just wasn't very entertaining. I have never been a fan of Carrie Underwood. Most everyone was drowned out from the music, you could hardly hear their voices. Just not very impressed with the show. I did like Brad's joke about him having HUGE boots to fill from all the other hosts from past shows and how he remembered Dolly hosting once. That was a good one. They may not have had good MC's but they sure had some good writers.
