CMT Awards Winners 2012

From the winners to the performances to the fashion, it's pretty safe to say the CMT Music Awards broadcast is one of the most unpredictable awards shows in the entertainment industry. Wednesday (June 6) night's show proved no exception. In fact, the only certain aspect of the CMT Awards was the artists' gratitude toward fans, who determined the winners through online voting.

"Thank you so much, everyone who's been voting for any of us tonight," said the night's biggest winner, Carrie Underwood, upon accepting Video of the Year honors for "Good Girl." "I want to thank you guys for watching the videos, voting for them, supporting all of us, because we all need you and we all love you."

Carrie was also a winner in the Collaborative Video of the Year category, for her desert romp with Brad Paisley in "Remind Me." Male Video of the Year honors went to Luke Bryan for his sexy "I Don't Want This Night to End" clip, while Miranda Lambert took home the Female Video of the Year belt buckle trophy for her poignant "Over You" video, inspired by the untimely death of husband Blake Shelton's brother.

I did not get to watch the awards, but I Love all of the Performers that did win...
I was sad not to read more about Little Big Town, and Joey and Rory were not even nominated... Very sad. I Love Little Big Town and Joey and Rory!...

It was horrible. It was stupid and it's obvious that they know who is going to win based on who is there and who isn't. All the girls look the same while trying to walk on 6 inch heels with skirts that were too short and tops cut too low. Got tired of looking up Carrie's dress and down Miranda's top. Was Miranda's group for real. The Pistols sounded like they blew up in someone's hand. We live in Nashville and won't ever bother with that screaching show again.

Why are these cruel hateful nobodies so down on Taylor Swift?? Cuz shes super sucessful? Shes a sweet, caring girl with a great attitude. I'm thinking you guys are all 60 years old and think only Hank William s*** kicking songs are ok.

That is real country. This is just rock and roll under a country label. I will say that it is what now is taking place of country and I would call it new country and that is OK and I do like a lot of it. Yes I am over 60 but not dead but the only real talent, in my opinion is Kenny Chesney because he can do it all, sing, write, arrange, put together a show and perform. If I was allowed only one entertainer to see, it would be Kenny Chesney.

Where the hell has all the "COUNTRY MUSIC" gone. This crap is nothing but a spin off of pop. Bring back true country music.
