So I could fast forward. I'm a big fan of Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, but the writers really let them down. Too many jokes that bombed ad bewildered the audience members. I have to fast forward through all the horrible bro country to hear the good acts. How is Lauren Alaina eligible as Best New Artist? She was on American Idol in 2011 and started recording immediately. At least the Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year and Entertainer of the Year were deserving of their wins.
