The first ever American Music Awards is underway in Las Vegas…You can tune in on FOX. We’re posting LIVE, so if you have to get up to get yourself provisions, don’t worry…we’ve got you covered.

• Trace Adkins is hysterical!!!  Seriously…However, I am always a tad …hmm..annoyed at his need to have girls all over him…
• Blake Shelton….Singing a song about drinkin, drivin, and being country…”Kiss My Country Ass”…leave it to Blake to really make a statement right off the bat
• Breakthrough Artist of the Year…and the award goes to…. Easton Corbin takes home the first ever ACA award
• Anyone miss the envelopes?? I mean…it seems very sudden…just announce the winner without much lead-up or whatever…weird…
• Trace Adkins is a tad on the raunchy side…I normally enjoy raunchy…I’m just not so sure
• Easton also took home Breakthrough Video award for “A Little More Country Than That”
• The trophies are actually stratocaster guitars….that is cool…
• Lady Antebellum introduces Rascal Flatts who are taking home The Decade Award…a little ironic…the group that basically stole the flame from the Flatts is introducing them…
• Rascal Flatts singing a medley of all their hits…
• This is a BIG award…shouldn’t they each get a guitar?? Did they really  just thank Big Machine while accepting an award for the LAST 10 years…In all honesty…10 years is impressive…a lifetime in country music…
• This is strange…no flo…Jeanette McCurdy, Joe Nichols, and Jaron and the Long Road to Love introducing The Band Perry to sing “If I Die Young”
• Troops always get a big response…Country music always honors those who protect and serve
• Single of the Year for a Male Artist goes too.… Josh Turner “Why Don’t We Just Dance” I really do love this song…i can’t help but be-bop along.
• Video Visionary Award goes too… Toby Keith…finally Toby is taking home an award…and performing at an awards show…
• Trace Adkins just told the audience to Shut Up!  I’m not sure about that…
• Reba she’s still got it!  The Queen of Country…
• Uncle Kracker performing…it’s best that I don’t comment…
• Keith Urban performing “Put You in the Song” in a pre=taped performance from his impromptu shows this past month…this may be the best performance of the night…
• Steel Magnolia singing “I’ll Keep On Lovin You” These guys are great…
• so commercials get precedent over performances….good to know
• Greatest Hits Award goes to Alan Jackson . .. as previously announced….  Gotta love it when people laugh hard at their own jokes…even when nobody else does
• I love Alan Jackson…  I grew up “Rockin the Jukebox” swimmin in the “Chattahoochie” “Here in the Real World” …
• Big standing-O for Alan Jackson…the man is amazing…34 no. 1 songs…writes almost every word that he sings…amazing talent…
• Jeff Dunham is playing with the least favorite puppet…
• There are very few awards being given out during this awards shows
