9:00 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) oh..I almost did that…
9:00 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Hey Dan…
9:00 PM: Leeann Don’t start rhyming names, Matt. It didn’t work well for Peter Cooper.
9:00 PM: CountryCa hey Dan
9:00 PM: Trailer Hey Dan
9:00 PM: Annie Trailer – I saw stuff on your site today. Bad, bad, bad. And stupid.
9:00 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Well, we might keep the fanbots away this way…
9:00 PM: CountryCa Well, Cooper has a tendency of super size french frying things.
9:01 PM: Trailer Um, the Locash comments, Annie? Or some of my work? lol
9:01 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I will subject myself to Locash Cowboys next month. So I can see Eric Church
9:02 PM: Annie Haha! The comments! You are neither bad nor stupid!
9:02 PM: Leeann But he does good music, I tell ya.
9:02 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Here is Carrie singing her pop song
9:02 PM: Leeann Hey, Dan.
9:03 PM: Trailer Glad you said that, Annie – reminded me to go back and delete them. Can’t have people cursing on my f*cking blog.
9:03 PM: CountryCa Which one of her pop songs?
9:03 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Carrie’s pitchy and flat.
9:03 PM: AikoujOi let me guess Cowboy Casanova
9:03 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) The song about Tony Romo
9:04 PM: AikoujOi oh dunno which one that was
9:04 PM: CountryCa Hard to imagine her being off.
9:04 PM: Dan Worst I’ve ever heard Carrie sing. But I liked her on the classic country parodies.
9:05 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Cowboy Casanova is the “Tony Romo” song.
9:05 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) yes, she is terrible on this.
9:05 PM: Leeann Was that sarcasm, CM?
9:05 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) could be because she’s dancing and being more britney than ever before.
9:05 PM: CountryCa Aw man. If she starts not singing well, my one compliment for her no longer applies.
9:05 PM: CountryCa Nah uh, Leeann.
9:05 PM: AikoujOi Dang I got spoiled by Twitter
9:05 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) right, but she is wearing short shorts and showing lots of cleavage.
9:06 PM: Leeann I missed the first parody, but she did sound good on the Rimes one
9:06 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) She’s been good on all the parodies.
9:06 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Taylor just said “That’s hot”
9:06 PM: CountryCa Not a very wholesome role model!
9:06 PM: CountryCa I think we should all write letters.
9:06 PM: Leeann I honestly don’t remember how she sounded. I don’t recall thinking it was too bad though.
9:07 PM: Trailer I think I blocked it out of my memory.
9:07 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) here comes Best New Artist.
9:07 PM: Mary Bills the parodies were great but did not like the cowboy song/dance or the outfit.
9:07 PM: CountryCa Jamey or Darius?
9:07 PM: CountryCa Or ZBB?
9:07 PM: Trailer I know I know!
9:07 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I think it’s Jamey but it could be either
9:07 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) of those guys
9:08 PM: CountryCa I picked Jamey.
9:08 PM: CountryCa Which means it’ll probably be Darius.
9:08 PM: Mary Bills the parody DIVORCE was funny
9:08 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Darius Rucker
9:08 PM: Trailer He’s got shoes under his feet.
9:08 PM: Leeann Ah…I’m getting tired again. The buzz is wearing off, guys.
9:08 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I’m not saddened by it
9:09 PM: Annie Yeah Trailer – cursing is what twitter is for. That Carrie thing was awful.
9:09 PM: CountryCa Let’s take a minute to remember the Blowfish.
9:09 PM: CountryCa More liquor, Leeann.
9:10 PM: Leeann I liked him better with the blowfish.
9:10 PM: Trailer I loved me some Blowfish. Darius is meh so far. Still love his voice though.
9:10 PM: AikoujOi Did a quick search for Terri Clark on Twitter and someone else watched the CMAs apparantly hoping Terri was on it
9:10 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) That was passionate from Darius…
9:11 PM: Dan If Darius sings country country ever I think I’ll like him.
9:11 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) he actually sounded like he meant what he said.
9:11 PM: Leeann Perhaps I should have taken up drinking, but I still have to work tomorrow.
9:11 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) he really wants “All I Want” to be the last single from the current Cd
9:11 PM: CountryCa I want to hear Darius’ shelved songs.
9:11 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Daughtry….
9:11 PM: CountryCa Even if they are all about the TenderCrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch ™.
9:11 PM: Dan Especially if they are!
9:11 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Haha
9:12 PM: Annie Ah…Vince Gill.
9:12 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Leeann, did you enjoy what little of Vince Gill you got here?
9:12 PM: CountryCa Yes, especially.
9:12 PM: Leeann The Daughtry song really sounds like a pop song. Matt, doesn’t he sound like a contemporary Christian singer on this?
9:12 PM: Trailer I need sleep. I’m weak. Goodnight everybody. Those of you who stopped by – thanks for your FTM visits – biggest day ever.
9:13 PM: CountryCa Congrats and good night, Trailer.
9:13 PM: AikoujOi you’re welcome
9:13 PM: Dan I’m with Leeann.
9:13 PM: bradyvercher I’m trying to decide if I should just skip the rest and go joggin’ in the cold rain or grab more Moose Drool. What say y’all?
9:13 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) congrats. I’ve gotten lots of hits for this Tennessee Line song…
9:13 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) good night Trailer. Yes, this really sounds like CCM.
9:13 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Lots of Idols sound like CCM artists…
9:13 PM: Dan For me Daughtry is just like Nickelback with fewer hernia sounds.
9:13 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Particuarly that Danny Gokey…
9:13 PM: CountryCa I vote for Moose Drool, even though I’m not sure what it is.
9:13 PM: bradyvercher Night Trailer.
9:14 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) yeah, basically.
9:14 PM: Annie Congrats & Good night Trailer.
9:14 PM: Dan Night Trai’.
9:14 PM: Leeann On what, Dan? Goodnight, Trailer.
9:14 PM: CountryCa ha, hernia sounds
9:15 PM: Annie I’m feeling this. Because of Vince. Will need to have another listen.
9:15 PM: AikoujOi I got spoiled about one of the awards
9:15 PM: Leeann I think he reminds me of Chris Tomlin.
9:15 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) They should’ve had Ray Lamontagne sing with ZBB on Jolene…that’d have been better than “Tennessee Line” a blatent attempt to sell Daughtry some records
9:16 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Yes, he does a bit.
9:16 PM: Dan On Daughtry sounding CCM-ish, Leeann.
9:16 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Or a little Jeremy Camp thrown in for good measure.
9:16 PM: Leeann No, no. Let the experience be authentic. Stay away from those spoilers.
9:16 PM: CountryCa I think the country audience is suspicious of bald guys.
9:16 PM: Blake Boldt Yes, please no spoilers. Once you spoil, you can’t uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-undo it.
9:17 PM: bradyvercher Kenny is bald.
9:17 PM: Leeann What’s happening now?
9:17 PM: Annie Howard Eliot Payne sounds like a country Ray LaMontagne to me.
9:17 PM: AikoujOi ok
9:17 PM: CountryCa That’s why we make him wear a hat.
9:17 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) yes, bald guys must wear cowboy hats or beanies or doo rags under their cowboy hats. I’m looking at you Trent Tomlinson.
9:17 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Really Annie? I’ll check him out.
9:17 PM: bradyvercher Good point, CM.
9:17 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) It’s a commercial break.
9:18 PM: CountryCa Granted, hatless Chesney is creepy.
9:18 PM: CountryCa Can’t blame people.
9:18 PM: Leeann I’m amazed that I’m choosing to relive this.:)
9:18 PM: CountryCa What’s the commercial?
9:18 PM: Blake Boldt Carrie sounds like a stuck pig on that “Undo It” song, so the Tony Romo homage wasn’t so bad in comparison.
9:18 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Chesney looks like a troll w/o his hat (and as a balding guy I have to be thankful I dont)
9:18 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) AT&T lost dog commercial
9:18 PM: CountryCa We can get lots of mileage out of color commentary on silly ads.
9:18 PM: AikoujOi I should probably get off but I’m having too much fun in here
9:19 PM: Annie Cool Matt! Check out his latest. Start with “Seven Days”.
9:19 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) ok. Always love passionate vocalists or at least people who sound passionate…
9:19 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Well, I won’t be watching the AMA’s with Janet playing the first 8 minutes…
9:19 PM: CountryCa Chris Stapleton!
9:20 PM: Leeann Um, CM, I believe you reeled me in on ACM night too. Slick.
9:20 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Little Jimmy Dickens !
9:20 PM: CountryCa Heh, Leeann. I think I did.
9:20 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) joking with Brad and Carrie…
9:20 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Jimmie does a kanye joke….about Taylor
9:20 PM: Leeann Love Stapleton’s voice. It’s strong but real.
9:20 PM: AikoujOi does the cma’s end at 10 pm?
9:21 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) 11
9:21 PM: CountryCa I like to see this live blog as the place where everyone comes after the show has aired in their area in order to work out their frustrations
9:21 PM: Mary Bills oh wait until the speech at the end
9:21 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Yes, Stapleton is great. I like Jonathan Singleton’s voice too.
9:21 PM: AikoujOi oh ok
9:21 PM: AikoujOi that’ll be cool
9:21 PM: Leeann Sheesh, Dan!:)
9:21 PM: Annie Who was that &*%$ sitting behind Taylor. Ha!
9:21 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha….CM…
9:22 PM: AikoujOi I should probally go, I’ll stay logged in though :)
9:23 PM: Mary Bills why are you so far behind
9:23 PM: Mary Bills delayed brodcast?
9:23 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) “Til Summer Comes Around” this song really needs a blistering solo to wake up all of the Taylor Swift fanbotseri
9:23 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Mary, west coast gets it at 11pm
9:23 PM: CountryCa This is the blog for the Pacific time zone, Mary.
9:23 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) 11 pm eastern and 10 pm central
9:23 PM: Annie I love Keith Urban. But, it’s not country. It’s Keith Urban music.
9:24 PM: Mary Bills so i should not tell the ending
9:24 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Annie, I can agree with that…
9:24 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) no.
9:24 PM: CountryCa Right, Mary.
9:24 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) please…don’t….
9:24 PM: Blake Boldt The New York Times concerning Swift: She’s a commodity bigger than country itself, and it (the industry) is happy to exploit her while she remains willing.
9:24 PM: Dan I’ll be happy when Keith’s done working this album. I just don’t really like any of it.
9:24 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Cue Blake….
9:25 PM: CountryCa So true, Blake.
9:25 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Dan, that should be pretty soon since he’s on the 4th single already.
9:25 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) She will remain willing for quite a while. I know she got two performance slots tonight.
9:25 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Here’s Tim McGraw singing “Southern Voice”
9:26 PM: CountryCa Personally, it would have taken about six additional Swift performances to get me to tune in.
9:26 PM: CountryCa There just wasn’t enough promised.
9:26 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) oh look, it’s Rodney Atkins singing Tim McGraw singing Justin Moore….
9:26 PM: Blake Boldt Southern voice? More like so-so voice. Burn!
9:27 PM: CountryCa I’m fairly certain Tim is mouthing the words to an audio track of Rodney Atkins. But then, I can never be absolutely sure.
9:27 PM: Annie Sad. He sounds bad.
9:27 PM: bradyvercher I like McGraw, but his singles have sucked for awhile.
9:27 PM: Leeann Wish my mom was here to make me go to bed.
9:28 PM: Leeann They sound so much alike to me.
9:28 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) then again, this song doesn’t have enough thumpin’ bass to match a Adkins song.
9:28 PM: CountryCa Agreed, Brady. He needs to release “You Had to Be There.”
9:28 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) that should be AN Adkins song.
9:28 PM: AikoujOi haha this place is addicting
9:28 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) yes, it’s hard to argue with the single releases. But Mike Curb picks the singles…
9:28 PM: CountryCa I think we killed Baron Lane.
9:28 PM: Leeann Agreed, Brady. Didn’t like anything from his new album though.
9:28 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) so we’ll see what he does on his own label in 2030
9:29 PM: Annie Brady – I agree. I would love to see him cut loose, and see what he can do on his own. Just sayin’.
9:29 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) No, Tim McGraw killed Baron…
9:29 PM: bradyvercher Maybe he should release “The Cowboy In Me Again.” I could live with that!
9:29 PM: CountryCa I really think McGraw will do basically the same thing on his own. I don’t think he has much of a vision beyond what we’ve already seen.
9:29 PM: Annie I meant cut loose from his record deal. Seriously.
9:30 PM: bradyvercher Err, I mis-typed that.
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. ;)
