TV REVIEW: American Country Music Awards 2008
The Moviezzz Blog —
I'm a casual country music fan. Watching last night's American Country Music Awards, I should listen to it more often. A very entertaining awards show. And, for a three hour program, it actually ended on time! Even a minute early!! Now why can't the Oscars be like that? Here are some of the highlights, from YouTube (that could be taken down at any moment so watch while you can). Miranda Lambert singing "Gunpowder and Lead" If you don't have her new CD, pick it up. My favorite of last year. A great, old school, country album. And I'm not even that much of a country ...
Favorite moments from the ACMs
PopWatch —
Well, we weren't successful in helping Keith Urban score Entertainer of the Year at last night's Academy of Country Music Awards. Kenny Chesney took the title for the fourth year in a row (then complained backstage that the award's integrity had been compromised because it was now a "sweepstakes" voted on by the fans). Check out all the ...
The Academy Of Country Music Loves Brad Paisley [Everybody's A Winner]
Idolator: Music News, Reviews, And Gossip —
The Academy Of Country Music Awards are essentially the American Music Awards to the Country Music Association Awards' Grammys: Both came along a little later, and both seem to lack the prestige of their mainstream competitor. Still, even putting aside their very similar acronyms, the ACMs aren't terribly distinctive from the CMAs. Both gave their prestige awards (Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist, Female Vocalist and Song of the Year) to the same people last year. While we wonder if there's a point to the ACMs that doesn't involve allowing Nashville types an excuse to hang out in Vegas for a weekend, feel free to peruse this year's nominees. ...

43rd Annual ACM Awards Preview
the9513.com 5/16/2008 —
It’s the old versus the new in the 43rd Annual ACM Awards.
This doesn’t mean that it’s the traditionalists versus the pop stars, which would make for an interesting showdown. Rather, it’s what happens to awards shows when eligibility criteria are too liberal and not enough good music has been released in the past year: mediocre but current work competes with good work that many have ...

Keith Urban Looks Good in His Shirt —
CMT Blog
There's a rumor going around that Keith Urban is on the verge of releasing an old song of his. A song from his 2002 album, Golden Road . It's called "You Look Good in My Shirt," and is one of the songs that inspires full-on crowd frenzy when he plays it live.

Quite A Few Questions About the ACM Awards —
CMT Blog
They gave out a dozen awards at last night's ACM Awards . So a bunch of artists went home with big shiny trophies. But all I took home was questions. So many questions. Like why did Brad Paisley take the line about "he copped a feel as you walked by" out of "I'm Still a Guy" during his performance? Why is Rodney Atkins already doing a medley of hits so early in his career?
