I think song of the year should have gone to Luke Bryan with Drink a Beer because that song is way better then any song and it’s inspirational for his family. It’s okay Luke you still won in my book.
Worst country show ever was not country
Worst so called country shoe ever
It’s a sad day when Florida Georgia Line win any type of award. They are as country as rap music blaring out of a low rider. Their music sucks just as bad too. Vocal duo of the year….good God what are people thinking.
Murder was committed on country music. King George Strait, Brooks and Dunn, and Alan Jackson had the only songs that were country. So sad to see and hear my music has fallen so far.
This was not the Country Awards that I use to watch.The music in all these songs drown out the voices, and that`s because the majority of them cant sing.They dress like a bunch of bums,jeans and t-shirts to entertain.As far as talent ,how did Florida Georgia Line ever make it this far- no talent whatsoever.There`s more talent up here in the hills of Vermont than them two.Only decent person that was dressed and you could understand every word he sang was George Strait.
The awards show shouldn’t be country music awards, Luke Bryan should not of got Etertainer of the year, he is far from being a Country singer, he has a bad attitude towards people, he is arrogant, all he cares about is Himself, worst show ever!!!!
I don’t know how Luke Bryan won Entertainer of the year. Especially over Garth Brooks. Luke’s voice cannot compare to Garth’s. Maybe his tight jeans won him the award. Garth sells out shows so fast he has to add more dates EVERY WHERE he performs. Not understanding that.
