We are starting hour #3 off with Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. Kenny looks tinier every time I see him. Is he manorexic? Also, be proud of being bald, our hats look dumb. Is it in their contracts that all performers tonight have to wear pants tight enough to cause blood flow problems? Taylor, don't dance in your seat, there are cameras around, bless her heart. Eh, ok song. Now, another bane of my existence, Ashton Kutcher. Ashton, no, please don't. YOU DON'T SING GEORGE STRAIT! Someone go up and punch him right now. Miranda wins female vocalist. That's good, she sings better than Taylor.
Here's Blake introducing his wife Miranda. Good song, but I don't think the dress goes with the song for some reason. I think it grew moss or something. Oh look, it's Miley's boyfriend at the ACM's introducing Zac Brown Band with Brad Paisley. This oughta be good! Brad in the Zac Brown hat is GREAT haha. He's one heck of a guitar player. Bono is on tape from Ireland introducing Dierks Bentley. I like how all the people doing introductions say "My friend so&so." Are they all friends? Are all celebrities friends? Anyway, Dierks is a very underrated singer/songwriter. This is a great patriotic song that goes beyond party lines. Good.
Oh, a wedding at the ACMs. I'm sure there is some sort of sadness. Yes, two widowed people. You will either cry or gag on the sickeningly sweet nature of it all haha. The guy from Train is now singing with Martina McBride. Why are they getting married WHILE they are singing? That's odd. I'm just glad Train guy isn't singing Hey Soul Sister. Why can't they just have Martina sing a Martina song? Now Thompson Square, duo of the year winners, nope, not Sugarland. I still say they should combine duo & group. Nice subtle product placement by Dodge in the recap of the country experience this past week.
Now Luke Bryan is performing with some green lasers that look like they were stolen from the brilliant 1985 movie Real Genius with Val Kilmer. When did country stars switch from cowboy hats to caps? Why is this guy prancing and jumping like Shania Twain? Finally, if you want the audience to sing along, be sure they are singing loud enough to be heard. It's an ok performance, nothing wrong with it. Here's Taylor to present the male vocalist award. I wish she was singer her Hunger Games song. That's a good song. Blake Shelton wins Male Vocalist so he and his wife sweep again.
Now, it's the end of the show. Entertainer of the Year is being presented by Lionel Richie. Not a country star, but has a new CD called Tuskegee (where he's from) where he sings with country stars. Plus, he recorded Deep River Woman with Alabama years ago, so he's no stranger to country. The winner is Taylor Swift. I'm giving my surprised face. Who are all those people who came up to her? It looked like she just joined a Baptist church. Now, a performance with Lionel Richie and Blake Shelton. I hope it's better than Dancing on the Ceiling which Lionel did with Rascal Flatts at the CMAs. You Are! I love this song.
Overall, not a bad show. I think it was better than the CMAs, mainly because it was on CBS :) Hope you enjoyed the blogs. I watched so you didn't have to. Good night everyone. Now I have to wait til midnight to watch Mad Men. The sacrifices I make for y'all!

ACM Awards - Hour 2
Starting off hour 2 with Jason Aldean, another husky fella. This is a good song bu he needs to take the Red Man out of his mouth or enunciate better. Vocal group is being presented by country superstars KISS. I don't get it either. Crap it's lady a :-( I'm so over them. I wanted to be anyone but them or Rascal Flatts. Next a performance from Bradley Gilbert, new artist nominee. He has leather, tats, fire, and motorcycles. Maybe he shoulda been on with KISS. I'm guessing he's a "bad boy". Now Eric Church playing a keyboard with a guitar strapped to his back. And sunglasses too, really? This song is called Springsteen, I have a feeling it won't be a good tribute to The Boss. I'm surprised more of my Frieda aren't Bruce fans. So sad. But the picture of Eric Church behind Eric Church makes him look like a redneck Che Guevara.
Now Jake Owen and LeAnn Rimes are presenting record of the year. What is LeAnn wearing? No, it's not another woman's husband. Jason and Kelly win!! I love Kelly!! She's a real sized girl with a huge voice. She's my favorite American Idol. And now to annoy me (but hopefully not) here's Lady Antebellum. Pleasant song but still too bland middle of the road. And the light haired guy needs to go up a size or two in jeans. Steve Martin with Rascal Flatts? Did he lose a bet? Poor Steve. Another poor Steve, Steve Jobs. Ashton Kutcher will play him in a movie. He gives us the iPod and iPhone and iTunes and he gets Ashton playing him? That's just a shame.
Scotty McCreary is up now. Apparently he won idol. Generic small town country song. Did they shrink him? He's tiny. As my former campus minister, the right reverend Ronnie Brewer, noted, it's good they let Alfred E. Neuman off from Mad magazine to just do that song. Glad he's done because its time for Brad Paisley! But what's with the baptist youth minister goatee? They need to turn up his microphone. This camo song is kinda fun though. New artist of the year goes to Scotty McCreary. A big win for Mad magazine!
A remembrance of the late great Earl Scruggs. Now my nemesis Gary LeVox and Rascal Flatts with my comedy hero Steve Martin. Can someone get Gary some sudafed? Steve looks annoyed. By the way I don't like them in case you couldn't figure that out. Now Toby Keith is singing Red Solo Cup. Is he drunk? Carrot Top? Really? I guess Reba isn't the only red head with plastic surgery on camera tonight. Hers is better. Haha this was goody fun for some reason lol. He's a goofball. Saw him on Chelsea Lately this week. Despite the 9/11 song, he's not a Conservative. Who knew. Ladies and gentlemen, it's SKELETOR! Oh wait, it's one of the many guys Jennifer Lopez married. He's introducing Alabama royalty, it's Mrs. Jay Barker singing the old Rod Stewart song My Heart Can't Tell You No. I've always liked her. She looks like a country Kate Beckinsale. Good job Sara and ROLL TIDE!!
Now on to hour 3!

ACM Awards - Hour 1
I'm back blogging again. Missed the oscars sadly. Let's start with Carrie Underwood singing like she needs a pole. This sounds more Pat Benatar than Patsy Cline and I don't like. Plus she sounds like she's forcing it. This is the absolute I've heard her sound. Plus her dress looks like a tacky lampshade.
Here are your hosts, Reba and Blake Shelton. That's how they said it. Is Reba like Cher now and has no last name? Ooh a Randy Travis DUI joke from Blake? Reba made a mullet joke, Blake made an old joke. Really, no plastic surgery joke? The Tebow and Taylor jokes were funny. Taylor looked like she wanted to flip Blake off. #TeamBlake. KISS is there? Why? They wear less makeup than Reba.
Chris Young is up with Save Water Drink beer. Wow he looks my size, maybe he should switch to lite beer. Generic country drinking rocking song. And now to Sugarland over at Mandalay Bay (because when I think country, I think Vegas!) Here's Zac Brown Band. But Zac, with that hat and beard you look somewhere between homeless and Zach Galifianakis. But I don't think I've heard a song from them I don't like. The Band Perry now, I like them too but it looks like the girl Perry wants to do the Angelina leg pose. And the hair on the boys Perry still reminds me of women in the early 1980s. I hate that girl Perry couldn't find her dress and had to go out in her slip. Bless her heart.
Another country superstar, LL Cool J, comes out in his trademark hat to give a shout out to the military and to introduce Keith Urban singing his song from Act of Valor. Good song and Keith's hair is perfectly feathered, as always. Half an hour into the show, the first award, song of the year presented by 2 Broke Girls Beth Behrs. I love that show :-) The winner is Crazy Girl by Eli Young Band. I'm behind on country so are they good? Just glad it wasn't lady a. Gotta love a group taking a cell phone pic from stage.
Now Blake is singing. He is doing a more low key Conway Twitty or TG Sheppard type song. Good job. Album of the year goes to Miranda Lambert. Glad it wasn't lady a :-) Now some 14 year old named Hunter Hayes who makes Bieber look old enough to buy beer. But he ain't half bad. Now Little Big Town singing Imagine (love them) acapella to start an combining it with a song from the kid, the children's choir is just a tad too much.
On to hour 2!!
