Perhaps the voters intend on breaking the tie for most wins in the category. I wouldn't be surprised if Martina received it. The Horizon Award is all Taylor Swift this year. Although she hasn't had a #1 single, let a lone 3 of them like Atkins had, she has put out a high-quality album that's been selling very well. Her constant touring and exceptional writing skills compensate for her slow climbs on the singles charts. The singles stats is the only thing Atkins has on Swift IMO. Since getting a #1 song doesn't exactly line the pockets of the labels, I'll go with Swift. I predicted Dierks will win the Album of the Year because it was my favorite release of 2006, and I know the voting history in this category. The CMA sometimes goes with quality over quantity (There's More Where That Came From- Lee Ann Womack- 2005) and I think this year will be one of those times. Just for the hell of it, here are mine:

Entertainer- Brad Paisley
Male Vocalist- George Strait
Female Vocalist- Carrie Underwood
Horizon- Taylor Swift
Vocal Group- Rascal Flatts
Vocal Duo- Sugarland
Single- Before He Cheats, Carrie Underwood
Song- Stupid Boy, Keith Urban
Album- Dierks Bentley, Long Trip Alone

It's been a long time since the CMA aligned with my tastes, but they did for a couple of years there in the early and mid-90's.

As it was established in a different post on The 9513, the quality of their work decreases with each new release from them. They have monopolized this category for way too long. In my opinion, Sugarland, Montgomery Gentry, and Big and Rich are all very worthy of receiving the award, and moreso than Brooks and Dunn.

This list is very much a list of predictions, not personal preferences. I don't think Sugarland has a chance in hell of winning the Duo award considering that they obviously, given their lack of other nominations, have very little support at the moment. Picking Big & Rich to win in that category is already a risky move, and they have the weight of the WB group behind them. Yes, that’s a very good point, guys.

I also agree I cannot believe that no one picked Sugarland, especially after the year that they have had....but again who we want to win does not always matter, we just have to support our favorites by seeing them in concert and buying their music.....

But like I said, who WILL win and who you WANT to win are not always the same.
