Reba introduces the fantastic Blake Shelton to perform a new song. Loved it!

Miranda comes out in her pretty pink dress to present Album of the Year.

Album of the Year = Need You Now by Lady Antebellum!

The speeches are pretty short this year.

ACM #5

Jason Aldean performs "Dirt Road Anthem" after a bit of banter from Reba and Blake.

Nancy O'Dell's dress is pretty. I am not that big of fan of her voice or style - it's too fake. Too '80's DJ! LOL

Single of the Year = "The House That Built Me." I'm 0-3 on my predictions so far.

Don't you think they should make the microphones movable so the people don't have to bend down to talk into them?

ACM #4

Taylor Swift sings her new song "Mean." She's given it a bluegrass feel and I like it! This would have been my anthem as a picked on child. She sounded really good.

Finally! Some country music presenters. Little Big Town introduces The Band Perry to perform their mega-hit "If I Die Young." Nice.

2010 New Artist & New Solo Artist Luke Bryan is on now to introduce the 2011 New Artist. (can't wait to see Luke at the Dodge County Fair this August!)

Top New Artist = The Band Perry - nice speech

ACM #3

Keith Urban performs "Without You."

Back to Sugarland to introduce Eric Church and "Smoke a Little Smoke."

Now we have some actress model I've never heard of and Chace Crawford. To award Song of the Year. What BS - I am not happy with all the non-country people involved. They don't even look like they want to be there!

Song of the Year = The House That Built Me.

I love Miranda's pretty pink dress. Miranda is very gracious and lets the writers talk.

Bethany Hamilton and AnnaSophia Robb introduce Carrie Underwood.

Yikes - what is Carrie wearing!? And she's singing "Undo It."

OMG! Here comes Stephen Tyler! I was wondering why Carrie had that scarf on her mic.

Now they're doing "Walk This Way."

I guess 'cuz she is from Idol they can bring him on even though that show is on FOX not CBS. lol

Standing O for their performance. They brought the house down.


Reba and Blake heading over to the Mandaley Bay Resort for Sugarland.

Sugarland performs "Tonight" from "Incredible Machine." Jenn's got some nice hair extensions in.

They are Sugarland and they are AWESOME!!!

Love how the crowd shot shows a guy illegally recording them on his camera! :)


Dierks Bentley now sings "Am I the Only One." He walks in from backstage singin. I LOVE DIERKS!!!! He goes out into the crowd! I would totally attack him.. YUMMY!!!


7:40 and no awards yet - just great performances!

ACM - Blog #1

Starts with Blake singing "Who Are You When I'm Not Lookin'" to a room filled with candle light and roses and what we first think is Miranda - but is really Reba. Kinda funny, though when they panned to Miranda I'm not sure she thought so.

First performance features Brad Paisley and Alabama performing his new song "Old Alabama." Which is number 18 on the charts just 3 weeks after its release.

Love that Brad is perfomring in ripped jeans and an old Alabam t-shirt.


Well here's one of the many non-country presenters - Celine Dion. (thumbs down) She intro's our hosts Blake & Reba. Not a bad opening.


Now Toby Keith performs "Somewhere Else."

heehee - Brad Garrett takes Reba and Blake down to hear Sugarland perform.
