TKs take on the 'ACM Awards'

ACM Awards: TK style!

I do believe this is my first award show recap. I've loved doing award show previews since I've been writing and figured now is the perfect time for my first TK blog recap, and what better then to do the ACM Awards? Well lets get on with it shall we?

Let's start with Song of the Year, which went to Jamey Johnson for “In Color.” Now I think that it is an ok song, but come on that should not of won, I think it should of gone too, “Waitin on a Woman” by Brad Paisley, but that's just me.

For single record of the year the honor went to Trace Adkins for “You're Gonna Miss This.” I think this song was the correct pick, because no matter when you turned country radio on, that song would be playing, and it truly is a good song and very deserving of this award.

*Note, huge props to Trace Adkins for his performance last night with a few of our Armed Forces. The song was great and the performance was a very moving one, and was a very nice tribute to our Military.

No big surprises came when it was time for the categories of Top Vocal Duo and Top Vocal Group which went to Sugarland and Rascal Flatts respectively. Both acts are at the top of their games and with Rascal's upcoming cd release, it wasn't a surprise. There are no other groups out there who can challenge Rascal Flatts at this time, although give it time and Lady Antebellum will soon be a force to be reckoned with.

Top New Male Artist went to Jake Owen, who I thought has been around for ages but apparently not. He's an ok artist, don't listen too much of his music.

Top New Female Artist went to Julianne Hough, who I think isn't that good at all. She has no staying power and can't compete with Taylor and Carrie, so I'll let her enjoy her few minutes of fame. Although major props to just how hot she is, she looked really good last night.

Now time for the shockers of the evening:

First up, Top Album of the Year. Personally thought this was going to go to the King George Strait, but it did not. Instead it went to the Princess of Country, Taylor Swift. In what was one of the more memorable speeches of the night, she was totally taken back and floored. She is younger then me for heavens sake and is on a roll. She is the best selling artist of 2009 with her album I still believe in the Top 10, if not the Top 5 on the charts. She is very deserving of this award and is only going to add more trophies to her collection as her career rolls on. Remember she's not even 20 yet!

Now for the crowning jewel in Country music, Entertainer of the Year! The nominees were, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, George Strait, Keith Urban and four year in a row winner Kenny Chesney. Now while Julie and I thought it was going to be a 5th straight time for Kenny, we were both proved wrong and how. Matthew McConaughey presented the award and gave one of the best pre-speech monologues in history. The point of the story is I got laid, thanks George, awesome line. So when it came time, the winner was none other then Carrie Underwood. Yes the Queen of Country dethroned all the heavyweights and took home the award for women since 1972 I believe.

*Carrie who I think is one of the best looking women on the planet, is awesome. Must say though, for those who saw her perform last night, that giant red dress, it made her look like Jabba the Hut from Star Wars, am I right or what?

TK's best performance:

Has to go to Trace Adkins with the military guys and girls, was awesome.

TK's worst performance:

Toby Keith, I just don't like the guy!

All in all, there were a lot of good performances and those who deserved to win, I thought mostly did. Can't wait to get out there and see some country shows this summer, it's going to be great!
