Has anyone noticed that the real country singer wasn't even mentioned. Alan Jackson has moe country in his little finger than all of these other people put together. Hey, who always stands up for the right thing in this this industry, guess thats why he was left out!

Reba was totally robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shw should have won female vocalist and for vocal event with Kelly Clarkson. You have got to be kidding me that she did not win one award this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because of her video Because of you she has brought awareness to spousal abuse and the way men can treat women. Kelly did a great job by herself but Reba and her did a much better job together and they should have been rewarded for it not Tracy Lawrwnce and them for their dumb song. Come on what people dont know how to vote prp[erly or what she should have won that award. Carrie Underwood was garanteeed several of awards tonight and it is not fair tha Reba was robbed of her award.

The Dixie Chicks should not have even been nomitated! They have no spot in country music! Did we not make that clear before?!

The Dixie Chicks did not deserve a nomination. Thank God they didn't win, but we knew they wouldn't. After what she said, she needs to stay in pop or whatever she sings now but they have no place here. Here being COUNTRY! Great job Carrie, Brad, Tayler, George, Kenny and all the other REAL country folk that received the awards they deserved.

I can't beleive Keith Urban didn't win any award!!!! The amount of effort he has put in this past year is unbelievable. The talent of the songs and the playing and th emotion is truly genuine and this should be rewarded!! It is not only an insult to Keith but to all the songwriters, musicians and fans!!

What a complete insult to the LIFETIME achievement winners. Three men, including Mel Tillis and Vince Gill, received the award RAPIDLY and were not put on stage. What a complete lack of respect for the fantastic talent, the years of dedication to the profession and the music industry, and what an insult to these three talented individuals. What should have been a shining point in their lifetime was glossed over by a quick handoff and a quick comment such as 'stand up and take a bow'. THAT WAS A REAL EMBARASSMENT. Someone who decides priorities should be thrown out of their position...instead we see endless commentary, repeated shots of Carrie Underwood and other somewhat deserving stars and musicians, but a COMPLETE lack of respect and real recognition. A shame NOT TO BE PUT ONTO THE STAGE at this most significant moment in their life !

Wow! I can't believe you backwards people are still calling out the Dixie Chicks!!! they are by far the best entertainers on that stage! are you telling me you people are still supporting that devil himself ass we call our president??? is it not clear enough how right Natalie was? what does middle america eat that kills their brian cells??? seriously! lets see what happens when a woman and a black man run this country! maybe all you idiots will go back to where ever it is you crawled out of! you sprew hate! hate you shall recieve! now back to the CMA's what the hell happended to Rascal Flatts performance! it was horrible! thank god Jamie Foxx saved the vocals? did he have an explination as to why he couldn't sing that song? at all? and Kenny Chensney should NOT have won entertainer of the year! I've seen them all in concert and Keith Urban by far puts on the best show! he entertain's! Kenny's the product of a male order cash machine put together by record companys and big business producers. lets see how many feathers that ruffled! lol

I'm with you Charlotte. I just can't believe Keith didn't win. Keith's music has not only changed so many people's lives for the better, especially mine, he is the most sincere and down to earth man, not to mention all he does for St Jude's. Very disappointed :(

It was said Kenny Chesney has been to interracialsingleonline to enjoy an interracial dating,which cause many comments. OMG! is it true? May be i need to check it...

I only got to see part of the show. just tuned in to see if Kenny was going to win anything. Glad to see he got the entertainer of the year award again. job well done..now for what i've read in here about the Dixie Chicks...get over it people. for crying out loud...you'll are saying they shouldn't have been there. what a bunch of crock. they are country music singers. they have every right just as much as everyone else there. so they commented on our so called presidents doings with the war...ummm hello..may i remind you that our founding fathers of this country and the men of past wars fought for out rights of freedom of speech in our country we have the right to say what we want. we have the right to speak our minds. yet when someone does the media and everyone else bashes that person for it...lets not forget we're in America here. get over it!!!
