Sheryl Crow; " Who says country award shows are dull? "

Some of my fellow TV critic chided CMT Music Awards show tonight, even before the launch, suggesting that many countries shows Music Award. Cynics! I, I can not get enough of them. They are an easy way to control what is selling the country's industry, play odd links (gosh, I did not know that the group less attractive the future of country music, Rascal Flatts, had a duet with pop cutie named Justin Bieber - I'm happy now), and in general, these programs provide a haven for singer-songwriter 1970 / '80s soft-rock style in this century!.

There were some unexpected moments. Shania Twain is dropped, sliding to the floor, up on stage to announce the "Female Video of the Year" winner. (Blake Shelton won.) Shania poor - as if his confidence is not moved too much to chronicle in her own variety show channels.

In general, the ratio Corny was captivating. start of the show, a parody of Thelma & Louise Taylor Swift and Shania Twain to retake the lead roles, was exquisitely absurd. Groups like Lady Antebellum, banda Perry, Thompson Square, and (among my favorites are deprived of the camera night long) Girls JaneDear visits cleverly designed, cheerfully disposable country-pop. This is the music tent, up to the affable rapper Colt Ford clumsy and a duo that combined with Jason Aldean Ludacris, plus a cover of Prince Lady Antebellum "Kiss."

A missed opportunity: Scotty and Lauren McCreery 9:45 Alain presented the results of Sugarland, but it was clear from the tumult of the welcome he received the idols that people also wanted to see Alain McReery and perform, too. But Sugarland did not disappoint for the show and the music, like Jennifer Nettles spray painted a white flag with the word "love" and turn signal "or" peace.

Sara Evans, Sheryl Crow has Lady Antebellum. Previously, he performed his duet with Kid Rock, "Collide", previously, a miniskirt with Evans, he stopped the introduction of its preface. "People are twittering when I got to Lee, my panties were showing." Evans said: "At least you were my underwear." Crow said: "I am of good family fun and clean", which guarantees a certain frenzy of the frame in the flash of the viewers at home.

In general, the show was very funny CMT, both firmly in the tradition of the music industry in Nashville, however, able to adapt to spontaneous moments.

Here is a list of winners of the main CMT:

Video of the Year: Taylor Swift, "mi"

Duo video: Sugarland, stuck like glue "

Video Group: Lady Antebellum, "Hello World"

Collaborative Video: Rascal Rascall and Justin Bieber, "It should be me"

Female Video of the Year: Miranda Lambert, who built the house for me "

Male Video of the Year: Blake Shelton, "Who are you when I'm not looking for" (husband and wife double win!)

Kid Rock, "hit" Sheryl Crow at the 2011 CMT Music Awards

Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow's honor at the 2011 CMT Music Awards stage to perform their duet hit single "Collide", the story of a couple of short Barflies find a connection. He was beaten second single from the duo together in 2002 "image" was only one of 10. "Collide" by Kid Rock is in "Born Free" 2010 album and so far has done well on the Billboard country charts, but was not the huge success of "Picture" is. I really appreciate it, however. Their voices are very complementary. The album version of the song features the legendary Bob Seger on the piano, which is pretty cool too. Kid Rock also hosted the evening, while dressed as a beggar in most of the series.
