At least Taylor didn’t win in that category, especially after that pee-my-pants-fantastic Carrie performance. Talk about throwing down the gauntlet.

This was embarrassing for country music. First off, they apparently don’t have enough talented performers in country music, so they’ve got to go call in Kid Rock, Li’l Wayne and the Eagles to fill a 3-hour show. On top of that, a large portion of their “country” performers are either terrible (Taylor Swift, Kellie Pickler), boring (Martina, Alan Jackson) or not even remotely country (Jason Aldean).

Here’s a novel thought. If you’re struggling to fill a 3-hour show, how about you devote a half hour or an hour to alt.country/Americana music? Create a male vocalist, a female vocalist, a vocal group and album of the year for alt.country, put on a couple of performers like Reckless Kelly or J.T. Earle, and see how it does. Can’t be worst than last night.

Seriously, Taylor Swift is Nashville’s great hope, and she was utterly exposed on just how poor a singer she is last night. That’s sad.

I didn’t watch the award show… However based on the comments above, I’m suprised that Carrie Underwood, previously known as farmbot, is actually a good host….

What on earth is Kellie wearing? She looks like a member of PCD

I really want a winner to say “Id like to thank all of the other nominees for not being as good as me.” I think that would make me laugh.

Carrie Underwood was the best performance of the night. Period. Even Martina was not as good as Carrie… and that is saying something.

I disagee with Jim that Jen nettles is a better singer then Carrie. No way! Jen is very good- but Carrie has a smoother, more pleasant tone to her voice, and Jen can sound gratey and harsh.. due to her harsh accent.

Taylor Swift needs to go to pop music and stay there. Her performance was dreadful, except for the dancers and special effects. Once again, she had to use a ton of props and literal smoke screens to distract from the bad vocals. Once again- it didn’t work.

I think Brad and Carrie did a good job hosting. They were funny and professional, loveable.

All in all, a great night.

I love DVR! My mom and me started watching late, and skipped every single commercial. Of course, near 10:00 we caught up so we watched an episode of Seinfeld so we could skip commercials. xD
