All the latest news about music for Americans aged 8 to 18. Thank you for following and placing this site in top 5% of all blogs worldwide (at one time in history). Featuring mostly has-been Disney stars from the 21st Century's first decade's final years.
Like newspapers that publish a story about a single business as an article instead of paid advertising (my journalism professors taught - anything less than three sources on a business story is a free ad), the Country Music Awards lost all credibility not giving Taylor Swift ANY, let alone the lion's share, awards tonight.
This woman broke 50 Cent's 2005 out of the box record for CD sales last week with Speak Now. Was Kanye West the lone CMA judge?
Why wait for tonight. We all know who's going to be named CMA entertainer of the year. Ironic ABC Television has this awards show and six months from now we have the ACM Awards. Disney knows how to make $$$$, pitch those country music awards shows.
Would bet Swift would take home the female vocalist award, but ABC is smart. Need to cover the baby-boomer audience, so most likely will go to Reba McEntire or Carrie Underwood. Personally, I vote for Selena Gomez! Aly & AJ would have won, but haven't heard from them musically since that newly discovered African dinosaur roamed the earth.
Also predicting Swift's Fearless gets album of the year. Could also go to Sugarland. Anyone else is a shill.
Start a Band by Brad Paisley with Keith Urban has a shot at beating Swift's Love Story for video of the year. Wait, who are we kidding? This is ABC awards where $$$$ rules - Swift! Beyonce if Kanye West is judging.
What, 15 didn't get nominated for song of the year? Swift not in that category?
