For some reason while waiting for the Rockets last night, I decided to tune into the Country Music Awards. I was shocked to find out that I actually enjoyed the show. Not a huge country music fan (at least not today's country music) so this was quite a surprise. Some comments: -All the singers really sang (no lip-syncing whatsoever) and there were actual musicians on stage playing actual instruments instead of just a bunch of dancers. -Kid Rock still has a female drummer. And she's good. -It was all live music, with an award thrown in here and there. Most other shows are the opposite. -I had no idea that Keith Urban and Brad Paisley could both really play guitar. Both were really good. They did a number together and traded licks on an extended solo at the end. -Carrie Underwood can really sing. She's got a pair on her.......pair of lungs, I mean. It doesn't hurt that she's easy on the eyes. -George Strait can still get any woman he wants. -Kelly Pickler really can't sing at all. Nice pair of legs, though. -Rascals Flat are douchebags. At least they dress like it. -Reese Witherspoon is still pretty hot. Nicole Kidman? Not so much. -Shania Twain still has an AMAZING rack. And I say that with great respect.
I was surprised at how well Keith Urban can play. What did you think about Darious "Hootie" Rucker? He got a standing O after his performance....Obama effect? Brooks and Dunn just ain't my cup-o-tea. They look like bigger douches than Rascal Flats. George Strait is mos def a vampire. Dude looks 30! The Kid Rock piece rocked that B! Vince Gill is fat Garth Brooks is obviously the Salmon Rushdie of country music now...right? Carrie Underwood is extremely talented but that whole mic grip thing gets on my nerves.
That's actually pretty funny. I've jokingly made the same comment. Darius had the #1 country single for 2 weeks and #1 country album for the same amount of time. Surprisingly he's their newest star. He's one of the nicest stars out there so it is nice to see him get the recognition he deserves. I'm fairly certain you'll see him accepting a few of these awards next year. He missed the cutoff this year by a few weeks.
I don't like country music at all, but I admit the genre has a high ratio of real musicians and hot women.
Forgot about him. It was nice to hear him front a band that could actually play.... Nothing says country music like Kid Rock and Lil...uh, Lil.....okay, which 'Lil' was it that was pretending to play guitar? It's so hard to keep up with all the "Lil's" these days. Seriously, I actually dug that performance too, even though he was basically singing a song about a song to the tune the song he was singing the song about. Hated the titans jersey though........ That wasn't Mike Leach?? That Palin joke Paisley made about her wardrobe getting up to $150K went right over her tiny little head. Bless her heart. Hey - I never said she was a Rhodes Scholar...
Agreed. There are a lot of frauds in modern country music in the makeup of Rascal Flatts and Kenny Chesney, but as a musician and as a performer, Keith Urban is a stud. His talent is absolutely ridiculous. I think a lot of people write him off as a legitimate artist based on his looks, but if you pay attention, he's damn good.
For the most part, to make it in the country singing business, you have to be able to sing. There are a lot of extremely talented singers that try to be country singers.
Yeah, I like the older country, like 80's 90's a little...Now its not so good, but some of the ladies can sing and they're easy on the eyes...Shania Twain is so f'n hot....still...
Mrs. Manny swears up and down that Shania just recently got a boob job - something to do because 1) her husband (the horrific, vampire-looking Mutt Lange) left her and 2) she has the money to do it, IOW, she can. Would love to see a pic of this "amazing rack" (with a spoiler attached to it, of course).
That also samples another song. I like the original. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nhSc8qVMjKM&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nhSc8qVMjKM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Oh, I know that song, but I thought the Kid Rock song was based on Sweet Home Alabama. Or at least the 'outro'. At one point, the female backup singers start singing the same thing they sing in SHA (Alabama-haaaaaaa-haaaaa-haaaaaa). But hearing the werewolf song, I see that I was wrong. Manny, here you go: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RyuMgGKygmo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RyuMgGKygmo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> It's a tough call. They look big (the left one looks a little bigger than the right one...) but they were pretty big in the first place and that dress seems to be pushing them up. So who knows. I think they are still real (and spectacular). Also, when she's walking out, you can see them jiggle just a little bit. Fake boobs don't jiggle.
