I don't think you people realize the difference between "best female vocalist" and "entertainer of the year" taylor won entertainer because she had a worldwide tour that was sold out with millions watching her everynight. her speak now tour, plus all of her commercial and cross over success. carrie is obviously the better choice for "best female vocalist" because of her incredible voice but taylor deserved winning entertainer.
@pinkraindrops13 Thank you. If people just took the time to educate themselves on what these artists ACTUALLY do besides just their songs, then maybe they'd understand. I love both ladies and I think they're each talented in their own rights.
the sound is going in and out - it's vibrating for some reason - terrible terrible sound issues on this performance halfway through it gets better sound like they finally a a bit of a handle but it stills goes wavering
@alyssababe92 you should view Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill on Youtube with her singing How Great Thou Art. I guarantee you will change your mind about her live singing.
Sure I would have loved to see Carrie get female vocalist but we all knew that wouldn't happen, she didn't tour this year and basically just duets and work on her album. Besides, Blake and Miranda are cute, funny and the new "it" country couple. But the former winners like Reba, Martina, Carrie it's hard to win again after having a run of winning it 3 years in a row. But Taylor for sure definitely deserved ET. She toured the entire world and had a broadway type of show.
Can I be the one to point out that Brad completely owns this song on guitar? I mean obviously he's one of the greatest guitar players of our generation, but wow, just look at him completely molesting his guitar at 2:18. Love him and Carrie so much!
Speaking as someone who enjoys good music in general and pop country specifically, I think Taylor's win was right on the money. As these awards are FAN voted, obviously i am not the only one( by a long shot) who feels this way. I find it amusing that so many people feel the need to be a joiner on the " I hate Taylor" band wagon, apparently just because so many of us love her that the "joiners" feel some perverse need to be different. Strange irony. Personally, I reserve my disdain for Kanye.
@clintagain The CMA's are fan voted and outside of Taylors fan circle she is looked upon as someone who has mediocre talent,campaigns heavily for awards- awards and fame mean everything to her -the real winner of the Entertainer award should have been Kenny Chesney who won Pollstars touring artist of the year while Taylors tour won a promotion award - Kenny wasn't even nominated for a CMA entertainer award - the voters always keep the best out of the noms because they know they will win.
I don't care for Taylor swift. All of her songs sound the same & seem more catered to teens anyway. She doesn't hold a candle to Carrie underwood. Carrie should've won that award.
Does anyone else secretly wish they'd get together? I know they're both married but they have undeniable chemistry - can you imagine them singing this together in an outdoor bathtub on their ranch? Plus, they'd make beautiful country babies 'cos they're both drop dead gorgeous!
Although the sound system is off, you just know that Carrie and Brad are deadon!
The CMA's are a joke now with the way they try to cram Taylor Swift down our throats... I guess somebody...somewhere...must like her singing. Give me Carrie any day.
the voices here are wavering going in and out for some reason - Brad 's voice is too - it's really odd - actually the band is going in and out too - at the end it gets better - - I don't think Taylors peers voted for her for entertainer - they barely clapped when she performed - I think her award was bought by her label - they bought for the Band Perry too which is on the same label but they deserved it - great songs, great songwriting great singing as for Taylor - what does she do again?
@fiddleDdee Yeah someone who was actually there said that their performance had the worst technical problems and one time there was a loud pop and Carrie voice exploding out which made everyone jump. She was hoping that it didn't show that on TV.
something is off in this performance... but i can't figure out what it is... and it wasn't just this performance, a lot of them that night seemed off.
I dont think it was about the mic... It was about the voice production.. when she said "me" after the head voice... Miranda sang very well at that nite...
Ok, one thing that I think they dont give Carrie FVOTY is because I think they thought that Carrie is too pop as compared to Miranda vocals..You know what, she's a country girl and yes, she is! One day when she produce an all-country album, you know that's where you regret snubbing her!
you've gotta be kidding me carrie lost the only category that she's in.... and taylor swift won entertainer of the year "AGAIN"...... i'm starting to doubt the credibility of cma's
they had to take Carries name off the list for most awards other wise no one would ever win again...Carrie is one of the top singers in the world today...
@OOPS4U2CNOW You are absolutely correct. I think this exactly same way, carries name started to become too much on top, they had to stop giving her everything, because deep inside everyone knows that she can sing so much better then all girls together . Probably next year when the 4th album release, we'll have carrie on top again, no matter what, and maybe an entertainment of the year, who knows?? The time for the other girls has finished. 2012 WILL BECOME ANOTHER YEAR THAT BELONGS TO CARRIE..
@jsmaftum you are so right ..Swift is a studio artist and when i here her live she just does not impress me she is week and has a hard time carrying a solid tune all the way to the end of a song...were as Carrie shredders the windows with her power and ability to carry it through the whole song and it is breath taking to listen to.. I also love Martina McBride what an assume voice she has also....both of the Ladies i could listen to hour after hour....and then start over...
I LOVED THIS!! She is an amazing singer, always been my number 1 favorite. i know every song & every word to every song!! i love her soo much & i love her music so much!!!
What the heck!!! how come taylor swift won ETOY and Brad Paisley didn't?? Gosh this performance was flawless!!!! Carrie Underwood shouldve won female vocalist of the year!! Her vocals are just untouchable!!!!!!! <3 <3
Is everybody Carrie put her hair back to way it used to be. Even though I think it should matter, what people think. It suppose to be the way Carrie likes it.
@KnowYourEnemys there are no whistles notes that is her head voice and it wasnt high at 2:00 thats not a F#5 2:35 is not a Eb5 carrie doesnt belt higher then a D5 here
They had Carrie's mic down because her singing those high notes naturally would have overpowered Brad and it's his song. They did a good job..but some of Carrie's tones sounded not as perfect as in the monologue. Brad missed a couple of notes but one was because Carrie sometimes is on the line from flat to sharp and them moves up to make it spot on. Brad got stuck at the lower part.
CMA does this every year to Carrie. She should get the female vocalist every year easily without question. And Enternainer, sho And heuld be gimme also for Carrie. And here again, the audio isn't the best because it can't handle Carrie's power vocals.
WOW! I've never heard Carrie stretch her vocals like this! This song is extremely difficult to sing but with Carrie's powerful vocals and mutant lungs, she did it yet again! This vocal just proves that Carrie may be the best vocal performer and entertainer in any genre! It's a real shame that she's been continously snubbed for all the great things she's done for country music. I pray that her 4th album will kick-butt and that God would work in mysterious ways to give her due. <3 Philippines
and your going to tell me miranda lambert wins female vocalist of the year and taylor swift wins ETOY over this girl? You have got to be joking #realartist #class
@justkeepsmiling02 I wish i could give you 1,000,000 thumbs up for this. Taylor is a pop artist who cannot hold a note, yet she has won country music's top award twice.
@justkeepsmiling02 uh and Blake again. Can they get over those two as the best as sorry but they are not especially blake. Swifts face when she lost was lol'd but be damned they give her entertainer and the girls is on even close to being a great vocalist. Granted entertainer does not mean they have to sound amazing, well, that was just proven again
