The 44th Annual Country Music Awards take place on Wednesday, November 10th. As the most prestigious award show in country music, the CMA's mean a lot to both the artists and the fans. Country music legend George Strait has won the most CMA's in history with 22. The most coveted award, Entertainer of the Year, has been won four times by two men, Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks. Here are my picks for the 44th Annual CMA's.
Music Video of the Year: White Liar by Miranda Lambert. A fun video directed by the always creative Chris Hicky.
Single of the Year: The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert. Not my favorite song but you have to respect the genius behind its lyrics.
Album of the Year: Need You Now by Lady Antebellum. From a sales standpoint, no one in all of music has outsold this megahit album.
Vocal Duo of the Year: Brooks and Dunn. A sentimental pick, the soon-to-be retired country vets could wrap up their 15th award in this category.
Vocal Group of the Year: Lady Antebellum. Would love to see Zac Brown Band come away with the award, but Lady A. is too much of a force to be reckoned with.
New Artist of the Year: Zac Brown Band. Why is Zac Brown Band even nominated in this category? How are they new?
Male Vocalist of the Year: Keith Urban. Could be a tossup between the Aussie and George. Urban dominated 2010 in terms of airplay.
Female Vocalist of the Year: Miranda Lambert. The Nashville Star winner has come a long way from her "Kerosene" days. As Taylor Swift continues her pop transformation, Miranda will continue to be the queen of country music.
Entertainer of the Year: Keith Urban. Urban has been a Tour de Force in 2010. Urban won entertainer of the year in 2005.
