Have to agree Reba does deserve this awards, I think everyone loves Reba --- BUT --- to say she is the only one who deserves it is WRONG. Carrie worked her butt off and deserves this award too. You also have to remember that EOTY is also industry voted. I'm sure if Reba won EOTY, you would not say "She only won it because its fan voted." Carrie won it twice because she deserves it and I'm hoping for another EOTY award this year too.The only female artist worthy of their special night is REBA, she's been in the business for 35 years, and still going, TOTR just hit #1 and IIWAB jumped 15 places on the country charts. Dolly hasnt had a top 40 hit since the 90s, where's shania now?! Faith hasnt had new material and a top ten hit in AGES , loretta was honored by the grammys, i think that is enough.
Im ticked off that Brooks n Dunn got their own night just because they were retiring, and reba hasnt been honored yet by the ACMs, when she has achieved 12 awards,and a record of 7 female vocalist wins. Plus she's been the host for the last decade, and is ONCE AGAIN hosting this year.
I dont like people saying that carrie is the first female artist to win EOTY twice because it is fan voted, which is alot different to how it was back when dolly, reba, shania, loretta,etc won it. If it was industry voted she wouldnt have won it twice. Im 100% certain about that.
I also hope that one night they give a tribute to Reba because she does deserve that.
