So the CMT Music Awards are coming up on June 16th, so that means that it's time for me to pick the winners. All these awards are 100% fan voted, so there tends to be a lot of winners that aren't necessarily deserving of the award. There's gonna be a bunch that I'm not happy about, but it'll be fun at least.

Edit: These Awards were a total joke!!! No wonder none of the big stars showed up

VIDEO OF THE YEAR

Trace Adkins - "You're Gonna Miss This"- Why does it seem like this song is up for an award every year?? It's not gonna win

Kenny Chesney featuring The Wailers - "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven" This isn't the reggae music awards, so Kenny isn't gonna win this one. Starting to miss the old Kenny Chesney

Toby Keith - "God Love Her" Good song, wouldn't be mad if it wins. But i don't think Toby has the fanbase to pull it off

Kid Rock - "All Summer Long" This one will get a ton of votes, but it BETTER NOT win! For the millioneth time...Kid Rock is NOT COUNTRY.

Lady Antebellum - "Lookin' For A Good Time I love Lady A, but i just don't think this song was big enough to win the award. Although i'd love to be wrong!

Brad Paisley - "Waitin' On A Woman" Yet another amazing song by Brad. And as always, the video for the song only makes it better! His usual combination of humorous yet beautiful lyrics make this song a hit! This one is definitely worth of winning Video of the Year.

Rascal Flatts - "Every Day" THEY ARE NOT COUNTRY!! They shouldn't even be at these awards....

Sugarland - "All I Want To Do" Most ANNOYING SONG EVER!!

Taylor Swift - "Love Story" WINNER I have to believe that this one is gonna be one of the favorites. Especially since it's a fan voted award. Taylor ALWAYS dominates the fan voted awards. The pop music fans may win this one for her. But the video wasn't anything special enough to win Video of the Year. This was awful!! They need to ditch the 100% fan voted part. It makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE for Taylor to lose because you get a bunch of pop music fans who know absolutely NOTHING about country. This song really isn't country at all!!

Carrie Underwood - "Just A Dream" If you read my favorite songs of 2008, you'll see why this song should win. The song is sooo incredibly written and performed, it deserves to take home the big one! The video was soo well done that i can't even watch the end of it because i don't like to see Carrie crying her eyes out But this one deserves to win!

MALE VIDEO OF THE YEAR

Trace Adkins - "You're Gonna Miss This" See previous category....

Toby Keith - "God Love Her" I wouldn't mind seeing this win

Brad Paisley - "Waitin' On A Woman" WINNER!! See last category for my comments on this song. This song SHOULD win, i'm pretty confident!

Keith Urban - "Sweet Thing" I'm starting to climb on the Keith Urban bandwagon, but this song wasn't quite good enough for this kinda award

FEMALE VIDEO OF THE YEAR

Why on earth is Carrie not nominated?????

Miranda Lambert - "More Like Her" I'd like to see this one win, but the Taylor fans will see that it doesn't. Really liking Miranda lately! Wonderful song, but i just don't think the video is anything special

Martina McBride - "Ride" Pretty catchy song, but Martina can't compete with all these new artists anymore

Kellie Pickler - "Don't You Know You're Beautiful" I think it would be AMAZING if this one won, but not gonna happen.

Taylor Swift - "Love Story" WINNER This one is almost a complete lock for her. No competition at all in this category. Without Carrie, Taylor will get an easy win here. I still think that Carrie SHOULD win this category, but there's really nothing that good, so i guess this one should win.

GROUP VIDEO OF THE YEAR

Lady Antebellum - "Lookin' For A Good Time" I love Lady A and I'm hoping that the two Rascal Flatts songs will split their fans vote. Lady A will be making a habit of winning this award!

Rascal Flatts - "Bob That Head" They're NOT COUNTRY!! Possibly the STUPIDEST song i've EVER heard!

Rascal Flatts - "Every Day" WINNER Still NOT COUNTRY!!

Zac Brown Band "Chicken Fried" The lead singer annoys me. Not a BAD song though...

DUO VIDEO OF THE YEAR

Brooks & Dunn - "Put A Girl In It" I haven't been impressed with some of their newer songs but they definitely got this one right!

Montgomery Gentry - "Roll With Me" Don't really know this song. These guys have been going downhill lately

Sugarland - "All I Want To Do" WINNER Sooo annoying....

Sugarland - "Already Gone" Hopefully like the last category, the fans will be split between the two songs. This isn't that bad of a song though

USA WEEKEND BREAKTHROUGH VIDEO OF THE YEAR

Julianne Hough - "That Song In My Head" I met Julianne last week and she was SOOO incredible. She totally blew me away and I think i'm in love lol This song was one of my favorites of last year, so she totally gets my vote for this one! Since it's fan voted, i think she'll get a lot of votes from Dancing with the Stars fans. Thank you Julianne for being such a nice, sweet and amazing person

Jamey Johnson - "In Color" This won song of the year at the ACM's a couple months ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if it wins here.

Lady Antebellum - "Lookin' For A Good Time" Sorry, but Julianne beats them out on this one. I'd pick them over her if this was their other song, but this one wasn't better than Julianne's

Zac Brown Band - "Chicken Fried" WINNER

COLLABORATIVE VIDEO OF THE YEAR

Brooks & Dunn featuring Reba McEntire - "Cowgirls Don't Cry"

Kenny Chesney featuring The Wailers - "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven"

Brad Paisley with Keith Urban - "Start A Band" WINNER!!!! Combine Brad's great lyrics with his almost unmatched guitar playing, and then throw in another amazing guitarist in Keith Urban and you get one AMAZING song!!

Sugarland featuring Little Big Town and Jake Owen - "Life In A Northern Town" I love Little Big Town, but this song just doesn't really cut it with me. I swear it's from the Lion King or something!

CMT PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR

Alan Jackson featuring Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley and George Strait - "Country Boy" WINNER!!!! I absolutely LOVED this performance and i even recorded it on to my iPod! So glad that this got a nomination.

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)

Sugarland featuring Little Big Town and Jake Owen - "Life In A Northern Town

Def Leppard and Taylor Swift - "Photograph"

WIDE OPEN COUNTRY VIDEO OF THE YEAR

Def Leppard and Taylor Swift - "Photograph" Taylor's performance with Def Leppard was pretty awesome. I'm not really crazy about this song, but compared to the others, it gets my vote. Although they all totally rocked the performance of "Pour Some Sugar on Me"!!! and they rocked it again at the awards!!

Kid Rock - "All Summer Long" WINNER This one will probably win, but i've already stated what i feel about this song

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - "Please Read The Letter" don't know it

Rehab featuring Hank Williams, Jr. - "Bartender Song" don't know it

The ACM Awards are coming up, so that means I need to make my picks for who I think SHOULD win these awards. Enjoy!

Entertainer of the Year
Kenny Chesney- he always wins...and I get tired of it
Brad Paisley- My current favorite male artist, but i have yet to see him in concert. That will change this July!
George Strait- hoping to see him in concert in a couple months
Keith Urban
Carrie Underwood- WINNER!!! YES!!! i saw her twice last year in concert and she was just phenomenal. I really don't think she stands a chance because females RARELY even get nominated for this award. But she definitely puts a on a show worthy of the award!

Album of the Year
Jamey Johnson- That Lonesome Song
Montgomery Gentry- Back When I Knew It All
George Strait- Troubadour
Taylor Swift- Fearless- WINNER I was really disappointed with this CD. Hopefully she realizes that she doesn't have the voice for pop music and her next album goes back to her country roots
Carrie Underwood- Carnival Ride- this album was strong from beginning to end, which is rare these days. This one is better song for song than her first album which was extremely successful

Top Male Vocalist
Kenny Chesney
Toby Keith
Brad Paisley- WINNER! he's had 10 #1 songs in a row and they just keep getting better and better. I don't know how he does it, but he never disappoints!
George Strait
Keith Urban

Top Female Vocalist
Miranda Lambert- I've really become a big fan of hers lately, but she's still not in Carrie's league
Heidi Newfield
Taylor Swift- may win this based on her pop appeal, but she isn't the best country singer
Carrie Underwood- WINNER nobody even comes close to her vocal ability. But this award isn't a guarantee Lee Ann Womack

Top Vocal Group
Lady Antebellum- my new favorite group! They're gonna be the future of good country music!
Little Big Town- saw them in concert and became a pretty good fan. But Lady A is better
Rascal Flatts- WINNER they're NOT country
Randy Rogers Band
the Lost Trailers

Top Vocal Duo
Big & Rich- John Rich is really good solo, but the two of them are on hiatus right now
Brooks & Dunn- They were amazing back in the day, but their new stuff is hit or miss. But no one else here is really worth mentioning
Joey & Rory
Montgomery Gentry
Sugarland- WINNER they will win, but they're soooo annoying

New Artist of the Year
Jake Owen
Julianne Hough- WINNER in terms of looks, I don't believe there's anyone better looking than Julianne! And she has a really good voice to go with her blonde hair and blue eyes
Zac Brown Band

Single Record of the Year
"Gunpowder & Lead", Miranda Lambert- love playing this on Rock Band, but not quite up there
"In Color", Jamey Johnson
"Johnny and June", Heidi Newfield
"Waitin' on a Woman", Brad Paisley- This song is simply awesome. This is another example of Brad Paisley at his best. The way he combines humorous yet meaningful and loving lyrics is incredible.
"You're Gonna Miss This", Trace Adkins WINNER

Song of the Year
"I Saw God Today", George Strait- beautiful song, but it doesn't top Brad
"In Color", Jamey Johnson WINNER
"Johnny and June", Heidi Newfield
"Waitin' on a Woman", Brad Paisley- see my comments on the last category
"You're Gonna Miss This", Trace Adkins

Video of the Year
"Johnny and June", Heidi Newfield
"Just a Dream", Carrie Underwood- One of the most emotional and moving songs. The video makes it even more meaningful. I refuse to watch the end of the video. I don't like seeing Carrie crying her eyes out. As soon as I see the guy knock on her door, I change the channel. Perfectly done video!
"Love Story", Taylor Swift- the typical story...song is great, catches on a pop audience and it gets played over and over and over and over again. It was great but got old REAL quick. The video wasn't anything really exciting, especially when compared with the others
"Troubadour", George Strait- this song never did much for me
"Waitin' on a Woman", Brad Paisley- WINNER It killed me to have to go against this song, but the competition was tough. Brad is famous for going all out on his videos and this one wasn't an exception. He brought in Andy Griffith to star in the video with him and it turned out wonderful!

Vocal Event of the Year
"Another Try", Josh Turner Featuring Trisha Yearwood- great song, but never got the attention that it deserves
"Cowgirls Don't Cry", Brooks & Dunn Featuring Reba McEntire
"Down the Road", Kenny Chesney With Mac McAnally
"Life in a Northern Town", Sugarland Featuring Little Big Town and Jake Owen- i love Little Big Town but i absolutely HATE this song with a passion!!
"Start a Band", Brad Paisley Duet With Keith Urban- WINNER!! Take the two best guitar players in country music and put them together....you get this song. This song is extremely catchy filled with great guitar playing. This song SHOULD be on Rock Band some day.
