I hope Brad will take most of them!! Hopefully he gets the entertainer of the year.
References :
I’m a Keith Urban fan so naturally I hope he wins all that he is nominated for, but it would be awesome to see Brad Paisley get Entertainer of the Year, I really feel like it’s his year to get it. I hope Little Big Town gets musical group, they are awesome. I would love to see Jason Aldean get the Horizon, I just discovered his music and I’m a fan now. It would be cool to see Martina McBride to get female vocalist, but I have an inkling that Carrie might walk away with that one again. I hope Big and Rich get Vocal Duo, John Rich has an awesome voice! Best of luck to all the nominees!!
