Memorable ACM Awards Performances

There were a lot of memorable performances from last night’s ACM Awards…Keith Urban performed “For You” from the Acts of Valor soundtrack in support of our troops or Blake Shelton and Lionel Richie performing “For You” when they closed out the show.

There were so many more amazing performances from last night’s show…but the videos sure are slow to come in.

What was your favorite performance?? Which is your least?
