Anyone watch the country award show last night?

14 years ago

I am curious if it was just me, but I thought the music was awful for the most part. It certainly didn't sound like country music to me but more like pop rock.

Any opinions?

Just watch part of it, but what I did see I was disappointed as my definition to country music is different.

I used to love country music but have travelled away from it the past couple years.

I do not like Taylor Swift, the young guys now, Rascal Flatts, etc. They are all pop singers.

I LOVE (now defunct) Brooks and Dunn, George Strait, Alan Jackson, etc.

It wasn't on here in Canada. Did flip throught but not nothing. I don't want to watch it anyways. Don't feel its right seeing an unbalanced mom getting tons of money for doing something she shouldn't be doing. Those kids, all of them need loving caring homes with balanced parents who can care for them. Yes, the parents have done too much to make her that way. And as for Jon and Kate, I used to like watching their show but as time went on, got tired of the screaming from Kate. Seeing Jon miserable and unhappy and harrassed. Seeing the kids being hauled around, made to wear clothes for show when going out somewhere. And now being a single parent, its all talk about her and what she must do for her kids and will and blah, blah, again all about Kate. Its the kids I feel sorry for in both families. And why they continue on Jon and Kate show is beyond me. People do not watch to watch those two. And the show are ones they did way back, like the kitchen being redone, the cupboards it said it was January 2009. And I read on yahoo news that Kate went after Jon for the babysitter he chose. Can you believe that these kids have all kinds of different babysitters,etc. looking after them. parents bouncing back and forth and Jon locking the gates on their mom so she couldn't get in after the baby sitter. I go unreal, who wants to watch their show? Its not about the kids anymore, its about Kate and Jon and which one is telling the truth and who said what and on and on. I don't like Octomom at all and I don't want to see it at all.

We just agreed on the team who received the highest score (Loved it when the daughter helped another team and said she lived her life treating people fairly and didn't plan to do any different here.) We felt it was too bad they couldn't eliminate more than 1 at a time! How do people become SO impressed with themselves?

i strongly agree with virgil about the real work done on these shoes i have to say, i really hope they change hgtv shows. i know theres a thread somewhere on here all about hgtv but im sick and done with the fake happy couples who happen to mysteriously have ginormous amounts of money to flip and renovate homes into ugly houses for the fools who are on the show its the same s*it all over and over day after day, just different couples doing the same decorating and "designing" when we know all the TRUE work is done by engineers, architects, contractors, plumbers, electricians, handymen, house stagers and interior designers who work with them. you know....the little people

How can you not LOVE Taylor Swift? She's a decent young woman, doesn't dress provacatively, writes and sings age-appropriate songs.

I was going to watch the awards, even though I'm not the biggest country fan, but so much has been going on around here, just never got to it.

But Taylor Swift was the reason I was going to watch. She mentioned the local young man she invited to the awards. Sadly, he's been too ill this week (he's being treated for cancer) to go to the show--she'd arranged for his transportation, ticket, even tux. Unfortunately, it was last minute that it was determined that he was simply not well enough to make the trip. She's such a class act--she called, spoke to him and promised to make it up to him. I wouldn't care if her voice sounded like a croaking frog (which it doesn't), I'd be a fan. Nice to see a decent young woman with a heart!

I like new country. I like Rascal flatts, Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift is good, but over played. I didn't see much, but Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney were good together. I didn't get the Bono thing. I guess he just likes to get his face and name out there anyway, anywhere.

I like Zach Brown, Uncle Cracker, Brad Paisley has such a fun sense of humor. I like some of the songs of The Band Perry. I like Miranda Lambert, Oooh, and what's her face that did the duo with the guy from train! lol

I saw Tim and Kenny, then the weird Bono tape, and Oh, yea, Martina McBride and that strange wedding. That was odd. Those are the 3 little spots I saw. lol

Yeah, didn't get why Bono or even KISS was there?? Some of the music I didn't care for, not very country, although, I do like country-rock sound. I just didn't like those particular people. When Sarah Evans was singing that song, all through it I was trying to figure out who's song it was. I love that song but the other version I knew was 100x better. Finally, it dawned on me that Rod Stewart sang it on one of the CDs I have.

I really like Taylor Swift, she's a sweet girl. I hope the whole fame thing doesn't destroy her like it has so many others. I even like her music, much to my dd's annoyance. She'll turn it from my old rock station to country (which I don't listen to much anymore) and Taylor Swift will come on and she'll change it, I make her change it back. I guess she gets tired of hearing her but since I don't listen to country stations it's not annoying for me. Loved her song at the Grammy's too.

Lionel Richie, Bono and Kiss? I didn't get it. I am not a big country fan, but since they have blurred the live between country and pop there are more songs I like(ish). Taylor is sweet and I can see why young girls adore her.

There was one country song that always got me. I don't know the title but it was about having a daughter while your young and then thinking she is your life.

I miss Patsy Cline. In fact, I Fall to Pieces.

I'm not saying Taylor is not a nice girl. She is.
I don't care for her voice that's all.

LOVE Lady Antebellum, really like Zach Brown, too.

"How can you not LOVE Taylor Swift"

Sorry, but I don't like her either, and definitely
don't "love" her. Don't particularly
like Country..but then she doesn't sing Country. Was
the Award Show about her good works, or her singing?

I don't like much Country, but I am kind of hooked on
Lady Antebellum. And, used to like Alan Jackson.

It's the new country, I guess things change, for sure. When I was a kid, I hated country (back when it was country western), it was too twangy. Now I LOVE Hank Williams' songs. WE listen to the old stuff in the car on XM Radio.
Alan Jackson performed, I think. He has a beautiful new song and video out, "So You Can Stop Loving Me" I think is the name.
And Mirand Lambert singing her new (to me) song...we had the captioning on, and I loved that song.
Zac Brown, Lady Antebellum...good stuff!

I have always loved country music--the old and the new. But last night's show was not one of the best, IMO. I do love Blake and Miranda, and I'm so glad they won. Taylor is good, but not great as a singer. But from everything I've heard, she is a wonderful person.

Dedtired, my guess for the song you're trying to remember is
"There Goes My Life" by Kenny Chesney
