I disagree with you on the Miranda comment. I don't think we are being harsh on her, but being pretty honest. Yes, she is talented and deserved accolades but that doesn't mean reward for ONE song! Unfortunately, her previous work did not attract many people unlie like Carrie or Taylor. Music is subjective and what may be Great to one may be average to another. I am one of those few people who like Miranda but am not blown away by her like I am for Carrie (Her whole-some image is realy love her more and more everyday, along with her humbleness and sincereity). The problem that I have with Miranda at the moment is that I feel like COUNTRY is trying to make her the new poster girl when she is not! She had two hits! BIG WHOOPIE!!! I honestly think this will damage her career more than hurt her, she was already bashed for CMA nominations as they were over kill. She did not deserve FV last year at the ACM because THTBM is eligible for this year not last! This year, she had one BIG hit, while Carrie had 3. I am sure Miranda will win FV again because I fell like country is not willing to give Carrie FV again atm.
I agree that not everyone of Carrie songs, videos should be nominted. There are other artist who have better song and Carrie just not might make the cut! I am ok with her not winning album! That's subjuctive but FV and EOTY is based on WHAT THEY HAVE DONE DURING ELIGIBITY PERIOD! Clearly you can't take that away! Carrie deserved CMA EOTY nominationa and wether she won or not was a different thing, but to nominated Miranda over Carrie was an insult! Based on number, Taylor deserved her CMA EOTY but vocalist is a differnt story (I am focusing on vocals)! I like to be fair. I know that WE LOVE CArrie and want everything she can but not everything she will release will be the best of the bunch.
Once again, Miranda does not deserve to be over-nominated. She is not the TOP COUNTRY ACT, she is not the TOP FEMALE RADIO ARTIST, she is not the TOP FEMALE TOURING ARTIST. Her ONE song did great, and this song deserves SOTY but not everything else. Miranda Lambert EOTY---------> HELL NO!!!!
These are my predictions for ACM EOTY:
Carrie
Brad
Keith
Taylor
Tim McGraw
George
Zac Brown Bad
Reba (she toured with George and she deserve it as she is still pulling in #1 and is pretty DAMN GOOD!)
Lady A probably will get a nom as they are TOP COUNTRY ACT this year! Lady A deserved EOTY nom more than Miranda!!!
Sorry for the rant but I am just so sick of all the Miranda love and how she deserves it because she was not recognized on her first two albums. I feel that she is the most over-rated COUNTRY act at the moment!!!
