@ILOVEMYDOLLY Oddly, Dolly hasn't hosted the CMA or ACM awards very much. I am totally OK with her just making a movie with Queen Latifah! Can't wait for Joyful Noise to hit theaters later this year!
She had just finished filming "Steel Magnolias" and was working on her "White Limozeen" album. She was at her most down and out point of the 1980's. "Rhinestone" flopped and her multi million dollar TV variety show for ABC had tanked! Hosting this special was the beginning of a turn around in her career. Next came a Bob Hope Christmas Special, followed by "Saturday Night Live", a TV special with Kenny & Willie and of course a hit movie and CD.
@mthivier I loved "Rainbow", but I even I have to admit "Dump The Dude" wasn't exactly a song you'd expect one of the greatest singer songwriters to put out on an album!
That's correct,The CMA -- and most other awards shows -- generally don't allow lipsynching. They made a rare exception in 1992 (the year Dolly sang "Put a Little Love In Your Heart"), when she began having trouble with her throat and was worried her voice wouldn't last through the live telecast, they let her prerecord her vocals and lipsynch to them during her performance, but generally don't allow anything but live performances on awards shows.
this is country music... country today sound too much like rock... i want to be a country singer when I grow up and i will bring back wat country should sound like... they need to let dolly, reba and loretta lynn hosts the CMA's... the three queens of country and kitty wells also should be the main star... they need to make the decorations the same again and the colors and stage and the sound!!!
Man, did the stage set, with its geometric shapes and pastel colours, look ultra-'80s or what? They should get Dolly to host the CMA Awards again. The last several have been barely watchable.
is this a real song or just somethin she wrote for the cmas

@MrEricSevert And don't forget her wretched RAINBOW album from 1987. Thank God her luck turned around at this point!
