LATEST COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS SHOW

Well, last night was the latest in what seems to be a every other month awards program for country music. This one, the ACM Awards from Las Vegas, included some high and lows for sure. First, lets hit the high points. George Strait once again proves why he sits atop the country music world. Strait took home the highest award as voted by fans, The Entertainer of the Year. For myself, the highlight of the evening was George Straits cover of Merle Haggard' classic "Lonesome Fugitive". Covering a classic, especially on stage in front of the performer himself, can be quite a daunting task. Strait, however, knocked it out of the park. His vocals proved why he is the best. To be fair, Miranda Lambert also did well, with her Merle Haggard cover "The Bottle Let Me Down".
The low point, and honestly there were MANY LOW POINTS....would be the Hunter Hayes performance. Whoever is pushing Hayes in front of all of us needs to stop. He can not stay on pitch to save his life, and his vocals actually hurt, The song itself, "Invisible", might be decent, but why are they pushing Hayes at all times everywhere, when it is painfully honest the guy can not sing.
Oh...and who invited Toby Keith out of obscurity to make a live performance? Has someone not told Keith his minute in the sun has passed with the red solo cup?
