CMA Awards

The 44th Annual Country Music Association awards were presented last night, November 10th, in Nashville, TN. The show had some great musical moments, as well as few flops.

Reba McEntire performed her newest single, the 2008 Beyonce song "If I Were A Boy," which came across like a hot mess! Some other not so "great" performances were by Kenny Chesney, and the opening song by Carrie Underwood, which was barely audible.

The big winners of the night were Miranda Lambert, who won three awards including Female Vocalist, Best Album for "Revolution," and best single record for "The House That Built Me."

The complete list of winners are:
Best Song: "Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum
Best Single Record: "The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert
Best New Artist: The Zac Brown Band
Best Vocal Group: Lady Antebellum
Best Vocal Duo: Sugarland
Best Album: "Revolution" by Miranda Lambert
Best Male Vocalist: Blake Shelton
Best Female Vocalist: Miranda Lambert
Entertainer of the Year: Brad Paisley
Vocal Event: "Hillbilly Bone" by Blake Shelton & Trace Adkins

The show was hosted by Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, who did a wonderful job. Their comedic timing was spot on.

Scary-Oke Karaoke Night News

We had a great time last night, Oct 29th, at the VFW for Scary-Oke. It started slow.. but we ended up with a big crowd after 9, and even stayed til almost 1AM.

There were lots of singers, and some great costumes. Photos will be posted as soon as my photographers send them.. LOL.

Best costume went to Erin for her cool Lady Gaga outfit, third place went to Christine for her scary Witch, and second prize was a tie for Tim and David. The VFW provided cash awards to the costume winners, as well as snacks for the crowd.

Some of our singers included Ginny, Pat, Deb, Kathy, David, George, Penny, Mel, Christine, Wayne, Betty, Taylor, Erin, Snooki, Patty, Julia, and Cecil.

Mel brought the house down with her rockin' rendition of "Me & Bobby McGee".. she was channeling Janis Joplin. A big crowd favorite was Kathy & Ginny doing "Monster Mash," and Taylor & Erin singing "Stuck Like Glue."

Blake Shelton to be Inducted into Opry

Grand Ole Opry | Blake Shelton's Induction

The Grand Ole Opry made a historic invitation on September 28, and the 85-year-old radio show did it the modern way: by Twitter.

After performing "Hillbilly Bone" with Trace Adkins, tweetin' fool Blake Shelton was told he'd just received an important message via Twitter. A screen at the back of the stage displayed the note from @opry: " @blakeshelton, you're invited to join the Grand Ole Opry. See you on 10/23/2010!"

With that 69-character invitation, Blake became the first new member added to the cast since Montgomery Gentry joined the Opry family 15 months ago. He gave an ecstatic hug to Trace, then a figurative tip of the hat to the crowd.

"Man, it takes a long time!" he exclaimed. "I know a lot of guys that want this just as bad as I wanted it and, uh, forget them!"
