Way to go! MY FAVORITE TWO GROUPS GETTING PROPS FROM THE GRAMMYS. It’s a good night!

Side note:  yes, another one.  John Mayer is hot with short hair.

Lady Antebellum is nominated with Adele, Duffy, Jonas Brothers and Jazmine Sullivan. Way to represent country music!

Can I just say…It kills me that the CMA’s can give Kenny Chesney Entertainer of the Year award for 100 years in a row BUT the Grammy’s don’t even think he is worth a Best Male Performance nomination.  Just makes you wonder how much politics are involved in the music industry.   That just doesn’t match up.

Congratulations to ALL Of the 42nd Annual CMA Award Winners.

Here is my quick rundown if you don’t have time to read the entire life post….

The Eagles didn’t have any business performing, Lady Antebellum won the most deserving award last night, James Otto messed up the beginning of his song but he sounded great, Jason Aldean kicks ass on stage, Darius Rucker has found a place in country music, George Strait is boring to watch but loves to take home awards, Miranda Lambert showed her soft side and we love it, Shania Twain still looks amazing but should have done more last night, yes, we know.  Carrie Underwood can sing, Kenny Chesney is still Entertainer of the Year but we DO NOT agree with this decision and finally – we saved the best for last – Rascal Flatts are still and will always be the Greatest Vocal Group of the Year!

Steph in the City has some great pictures from the CMA After parties.
