Is it a real surprise Taylor Swift would lipsynch? A fake performance for a fake singer.

I understand that Rascal Flatts took home the award for the best Country band once again.

How sweet.

Forgot to add— that Annie Lennox and Pink/Sarah McLaughlin were outstanding. Alicia Keys was great as usual too.

I was actually very happy for Brad Paisely winning his first AMA. He seemed genuinely happy and sincere.

I am also happy for Carrie Underwood winning Country Album of the year, since she lost at the CMAs in that category. Unfortunately though– it means a heck of a lot more to win the CMA Album of the year then a fan voted award though. lol But it gives Carrie something to aspire to down the road.

I am pretty sure Taylor was lip syncing her performance– because her mouth did not fit the words. It was odd. If so, that would be the first time a “country” singer ever lip synced, I think. lol

Overall, it was a pretty decent night– except for the pussycat dolls and horrendous kiddie bands like the Jonas Brothers and Miley/Taylor,etc.

However I admit that Miley Cyrus was actually surprisingly on key, and not as bad as I thought she would be. She may have a future as an adult singer someday… as she has inherited Billy Rae’s deep voice, for sure. It has potential.

dudley, i think you’re absolutely correct. taylor swift was lip-synching in the first half (the sitting down part). when she got up, it appeared to be live vocals. i have no idea why. eh. it’s still cheating.

and no, i watched the pink performance again. she was not lip-synching.

i agree about annie lennox. she was astounding. absoutely spine-chilling performance.

Countrythang, a couple of days ago, before reading the review of Loretta’s concert at Billy Bob’s, I stumbled across some YouTube videos of her appearance on the Crook & Chase show from this past August, and the first thing I noticed was how frail she is looking. I posted the videos to the forum. She can still sing but she does seem to be getting weaker physically.

@Timeo – Thanks for the info, I’ll have to give it a spin.

@Countrythang – Based on the review, she turned in a nice performance, but sentences like “the 74-year-old singer seemed to be struggling physically just a bit during her hour on stage” and “concern of her bandmates about this apparent over-heating was obvious” sure make it sound like she was a little frail.

I don’t think Loretta was frail at all according to the review she ROCKED Billy Bob’s and was in perfect voice..Just because someone sweats doesn’t mean they are frail,lol..

Annie is amazing for fans of any genre.

While watching Christina Aguleria I had to ponder Taylor Swift. Ashton Sheppard is totally the X-tina and Taylor is totally the Brittany.
