CMAs 2011

I am sooo excited to see the CMAs this year. I have loved country music since I could walk and talk. I remember listening to Reba, Loretta(my first concert ha) & Johnny Cash and singing my heart out. Santa brought me a karaoke machine when I was about 9 and I wore that sucker out. I remember one of the songs I had was 9 to 5 by Dolly. When I got my license at 16 I rode around town singing my heart out to Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and Jo Dee Messina. Now as a mother I still sing like no ones listening in the car & my boys tell me to turn Daddys music on (Rock) lol but Country is where I am from. I can relate to most of the songs because I live them down here in Georgia!!! So tonight we get to celebrate the artist & the industry!!! Plus I cant wait to see a few of my favs dressed up. :)  Here are my predictions on how it will go tonight!!!  Like you care but I wanna see if I am a good guesser. Cause I know yall really value my imput HA!
My prediction are the names in bold.

I am really excited to see Rascal Flatts (my favorite) with Darius Rucker, Lionel Richie & Little Big town all collaborate together. Also ready to see Faith Hill perform after 5 years. And a new favorite of my Luke Bryan. I cant believe he is in the Best New Artist category when he has 3 albums and all have #1 hits. Crazy!

Anyways! I will be back to tell you what I thought tomorrow!
