What I don't see is why they are like, adding performances other than country. To me, that kind of ruins the whole point of the "country music" gist of the show. It's alright if one person has a duet with someone out of country music, but when it seems like everyone is adding other genre acts (Jennifer and Rhianna-- I'm not sure who this James Taylor guy is, but he doesn't sound country) it seems like overkill. IF Carrie's duet is with Steven Tyler, it would no doubt be the best (and most talked about) performance of the night. But in my opinion, the ACM's need to keep it mostly country, which they are beginning to fail to do. They add Rhianna in performances, Rob Pattinson present.... what have they contributed to country music?? I think this is the ACM's big idea since they KNOW they lost viewers for the snubs. Although it wasn't exactly thier fault that Carrie didn't get an Entertainer of the Year nom, they could have set it to where somehow she could have been nominated (I mean, the show is rigged anyway, what's one more cheat?) So that is just my opinion about the whole "duets" thing.
