8:00 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Nobody’s Dale Watson. In fact Chuck Norris cowers in Dale Watson’s presence.
8:00 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) gee what a surprise Taylor Swift does an SNL style open for the show…
8:01 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) …and CM, can you guess if she’s pitchy or not?
8:01 PM: KC Wow, it’s been one minute and it already sucks.
8:02 PM: CountryCa She’s pitchy.
8:02 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) well at least we know she doesn’t lipsync like Britney…But she probably should…
8:03 PM: CountryCa What a dramatic performance! Always very theatrical.
8:03 PM: CountryCa (How am I doing?)
8:03 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) pretty good guess except it’s still going…
8:04 PM: KC You’re right on CM
8:04 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) It feels like MTV’s VMA’s right now
8:04 PM: AikoujOi My mom says I have to be off at 8:30 :( darn I wanted to stay for at least an hour
8:04 PM: CountryCa If you just tell me who’s on, I can probably comment as though I’m actually seeing it. Not many surprises.
8:04 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) well that’s 26 more minutes…
8:04 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Here come the hosts.
8:04 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) what is the first joke a corny one?
8:04 PM: CountryCa I’ll try to pack all of my best quips into the front of the live blog, Aikou.
8:05 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Bubba Strait is sitting with his mom and dad…
8:05 PM: AikoujOi ok lol thanks
8:05 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Underwood’s wearing some squaw-like dress…
8:05 PM: CountryCa Very leggy!
8:05 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) seriously, she could be a sequined Indian maiden in that one…
8:06 PM: AikoujOi lol, let me guess Brad’s a black suit and a white hat
8:06 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) “mama’s don’t let your babies grow up to be Kanye…
8:06 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) who didn’t see that one comin?
8:06 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) absolutely…
8:06 PM: CountryCa “My little Cherokee maiden, I love her so…”
8:06 PM: KC Wish they would have done the real song
8:06 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Nicole Kidman looks good as always.
8:07 PM: CountryCa I think her and Keith Urban share shampoo.
8:07 PM: CountryCa she and Keith Urban (live grammar editing!)
8:07 PM: AikoujOi really hahaha
8:07 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) oh definitely….
8:08 PM: Brady Better start drinking now, I hear this is gonna be painful.
8:08 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Here comes the brooks and dunn joke to the tune of D-I-V-O-R-C-E
8:08 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) everyone’s sad except sugarland….
8:08 PM: AikoujOi let me guess, they are singing Honky Tonk Stomp
8:08 PM: CountryCa Hey, it’s Brady Vercher. He’s famous.
8:09 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) wow, that chick between Kristian and Jennifer sure got fatter in the years away from Sugarland…
8:09 PM: CountryCa Is it the blond lady who appears next to them at every awards show?
8:10 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Some large lady, looks kinda like Charlie Sheen’s maid on 2 1/2 men
8:10 PM: CountryCa Yep, think that’s the one.
8:10 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) and time for the first award….”Single of the Year.”
8:10 PM: CountryCa Single… I predicted “In Color”
8:10 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Zac Brown is wearing his Beanie to the show…
8:10 PM: CountryCa Any last second guesses?
8:11 PM: AikoujOi I predict the one by Taylor
8:11 PM: KC Go Jamey!
8:11 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Jamey brushed his beard….
8:11 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) and the winner is….
8:11 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I Run to You Lady Antebellum….
8:11 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) that I never expected but I love the song so I am happy about it.
8:12 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) still I figured Brad or Jamey would get that one…
8:12 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) CM, looks like I hijacked your live blog, lol…
8:12 PM: AikoujOi The song is ok, so I’m ok with it
8:12 PM: CountryCa That’s cool. It was intended as more of a chat anyway. I don’t know what I’m doing.
8:12 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) ahh, well it’s fun anyway.
8:13 PM: AikoujOi lol
8:13 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I missed doing something like this last year….
8:13 PM: AikoujOi its tons of fun
8:13 PM: CountryCa But the “I Run to You” win is very disappointing.
8:13 PM: Annie Hey everybody!
8:13 PM: AikoujOi Terri Clark should be nominated in the CMA’s too in my opinion
8:13 PM: AikoujOi hi Annie
8:13 PM: CountryCa Hello, Annie.
8:13 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I was flying back from LA to BNA. Got there in time to party with the Big Machine folks. Free Whiskey…
8:14 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Hey annie!
8:14 PM: KC Hi Annie
8:14 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) wait, I said I wasn’t gonna type Shania style….gotta keep to it.
8:14 PM: CountryCa I had Big Machine figured as more of a Sunny D organization.
8:14 PM: Trailer Thought I’d drop in and say hi. Enjoy the show (snicker snicker).
8:14 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Trailer, you should stay and add some quips, CM and I can’t do it alone…
8:15 PM: AikoujOi I’m not watching it, just following the live blog
8:15 PM: CountryCa hey Trailer
8:15 PM: Annie I just bought Terri Clarks new cd. So very good.
8:15 PM: CountryCa Yes, love that Terri Clark disc.
8:15 PM: AikoujOi Awesome
8:15 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Big Machine’s organization is definitely more Mike’s Hard Lemonade than Sunny D…
8:15 PM: CountryCa acoustic “Gypsy Boots,” so good
8:15 PM: AikoujOi If You Want Fire music video was just released in Canada and is on youtube
8:15 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Yeah, the Terri Clark disc is great…
8:16 PM: AikoujOi I agree
8:16 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) “brad I don’t feel well, can you feel me and tell me if I’m hot?”
8:16 PM: CountryCa Did Chuck Wicks say that?
8:16 PM: Trailer My quips would be on delay.
8:16 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) did they get Bruce Villanch to write the jokes?
8:16 PM: AikoujOi hahahaha
8:17 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) It would’ve been Chuckie boy if Villanch really did write the jokes.
8:17 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) here comes Darius…
8:17 PM: Trailer They let Chuck Wicks on the show? (I missed the beginning)
8:17 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Guess the song non show watchers…
8:17 PM: AikoujOi It’s Alright
8:17 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha, no. Wicks is banned because he broke up….
8:18 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) with his beard
8:18 PM: CountryCa Don’t think so, Trailer.
8:18 PM: Trailer Alright
8:18 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) ding ding ding….It’s “Alright”
8:18 PM: AikoujOi really, didn’t know he was banned
8:18 PM: AikoujOi he broke up with Jullienne(sp?)
8:18 PM: CountryCa Chuck Wicks is banned from all bars.
8:18 PM: CountryCa Because he looks to be about 13.
8:18 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha not really. He just was told by Daddy Hough that he can’t steal Cinderella but I hear Derek is available.
8:18 PM: CountryCa Despite actually being 30 or so.
8:19 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) ok, I think I’ve done enough Chuck Wicks jokes for the night…
8:19 PM: Trailer I don’t hold looking young against Chuck. But that’s the only thing.
8:19 PM: AikoujOi oh I see ok, lol have to laugh a little bit haha
8:19 PM: AikoujOi ok
8:19 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) oh no, Darius singing in the crowd with white folks who can’t dance….
8:20 PM: CountryCa “white folks who can’t dance”
8:20 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Seriously Darius, don’t sing a ‘dancin’ song in front of 40 year old white dudes. They can’t keep rhythm…
8:20 PM: CountryCa that’s a little redundant
8:20 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) yes, well straight white dudes…
8:20 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) can’t dance…
8:20 PM: CountryCa Is Darius doing his sidestepping Reba-esque dance?
8:21 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) a little
8:21 PM: CountryCa No more Wicks jokes, Matt.
8:21 PM: CountryCa You promised.
8:21 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha…
8:21 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Here’s Kellie Pickler’s Boobs with Jake Owen. They gonna go on an 8 second ride?
8:21 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Kellie does look good as a brunette…
8:21 PM: Annie I like Darius, but the show is already making me sad. I’ve been exposed to way too much alt stuff to find this satisfactory anymore. Sigh.
8:22 PM: Trailer Kellie’s talented.
8:22 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Song of the year….
8:22 PM: bradyvercher Who’s drinkin’ tonight?
8:22 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) In color not winning this would make me o-2
8:22 PM: Trailer No spoilers, but there’s a hell of a performance coming up for you guys.
8:22 PM: CountryCa Song will be…
8:22 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I’m drinkin’ Sam Adams…
8:22 PM: CountryCa “People Are Crazy”
8:22 PM: AikoujOi I predict anything by Taylor….Swift
8:23 PM: AikoujOi oh
8:23 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) In Color!
8:23 PM: AikoujOi That song is pretty good
8:23 PM: Trailer I’m drinking V8 Fusion.
8:23 PM: KC YAY!!!!
8:23 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Jamey’s 2 for 2 in this category…
8:23 PM: CountryCa I predict nothing by Clay Davidson. Poor fella.
8:23 PM: KC Finally something good from this stupid show
8:23 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) It also gives James Otto (Clay Davidson 2.0) a CMA Award.
8:23 PM: AikoujOi one of my online friends is watching the CMA’s
8:23 PM: Annie Holy crap. Look at him. James Otto is big!
8:23 PM: AikoujOi lol
8:24 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) and Jamey gives Otto the floor to speak first.
8:24 PM: Trailer I would use that Clay joke on the next Otto parody cover, but nobody remembers who Clay Davidson is but us country dorks.
8:24 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Jamey really hates the spotlight, which is odd for a performer
8:24 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Dude didn’t talk but 3 times last friday when I saw the show.
8:24 PM: CountryCa True, Trailer.
8:24 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha…I actually liked Clay Davidson’s record.
8:24 PM: CountryCa Excited about Jamey’s win, but fear it will be his only one tonight.
8:24 PM: bradyvercher I almost went to the show at the Emerald, Matt.
8:25 PM: Annie Nice.
8:25 PM: AikoujOi I don’t really know who Clay Davidson is
8:25 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) really? you’re in town?
8:25 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) we should get a beer somewhere if you are.
8:25 PM: Trailer Jamie doesn’t have facial hair – it has him.
8:25 PM: CountryCa Brady and Matt are gonna be BFFs.
8:25 PM: AikoujOi lol
8:25 PM: Trailer Dammit – Jamey not Jamie
8:25 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Randy Houser did a nice job
8:25 PM: Annie Yay! Miranda! Great song.
8:25 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) too.
8:25 PM: bradyvercher I’m in Gig Harbor.
8:26 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) but Jamey had it feeling like a religious experience.
8:26 PM: CountryCa “White Liar,” I presume.
8:26 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I’m in federal way, not far from Gig Harbour.
8:26 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) er, Gig Harbor.
8:26 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) as for Miranda. it sounds like her record.
8:27 PM: CountryCa Hayes Carll confirmed me as a friend on Facebook just now. I’m more excited about that than Lady Antebellum’s win.
8:28 PM: AikoujOi Great news for this young country dork, I can stay on ’til nine
8:28 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) oops, there’s a little pitch problem from Miranda. Still one is better than what Taylor Swift gave us…
8:28 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) lol, AikoujOi, you must have school tomorrow?
8:28 PM: bradyvercher My mother-in-law lives over there in Federal Way somewheres.
8:28 PM: AikoujOi no, just work and guitar lessons. I go to college
8:28 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) ahh…
8:28 PM: bradyvercher What’s the difference between comments and posts on here?
8:29 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) We sometimes call it Dreadful Way…
8:29 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) both are the same I think?
8:29 PM: Trailer Confession: the iTunes single I bought yesterday was Lady Antebellum’s new song. Don’t judge me.
8:29 PM: CountryCa Comments can be made by anyone. I have to invite people for them to be able to make posts.
8:29 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) oh I see.
8:30 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Trailer, it’s ok. we all need guilty pleasures.
8:30 PM: CountryCa Basically, I’m adding anyone who’s commenting a lot to the writer list so it’s easier for them to post.
Enjoy this post? Tell someone!

If your comment doesn't show up right away, it hasn't been lost. Give it a few minutes.
I keep getting bumped out, so I think I’ll call it a night.
Glad you made it back in, Leeann. Sorry for your troubles.
It was great fun! I’m glad I stayed the whole 3 hours.
That was fun! Y’all made me laugh – a lot! Let’s get together & do this again.
That was me. Ann = Annie.
I’m not as tired as I’d imagined I’d be. Guess three hours of sleep ain’t that bad. It was fun.
Was great fun…
I had a great time in the short span I was on!
The chat is too long for non-participants to read the dirty deets. However, they may also be confused and assumed I work on Modern Family, which is awesome blossom.
I paid attention to a commercial for Modern Family for the first time and it looks like one wacky show.
Wacky could describe it but it’s great fun, like some NBC comedies. I was surprised that it not only made ABC but that its also doing well on ABC.
Good live-blog, gang. Nice editing, CM. ;)
