| Live Country Music Awards 2011: CMA Awards 2011, Country Music Association Awards 2011 Posted: 09 Nov 2011 08:46 PM PST Hadley Freeman hosts our reside treatment of the Country Music Association Awards – the CMAs – in Nashville. 7.00pm: Well howdy, padners! Aren’t y’all lookin’ sassy tonight? Let’s saddle ‘em up because this night we’re gonna be ridin’ – and ridin HARD – out to the Country Music Awards! Yee haw! Now, regardless of my nigh-on bilingual abilities, I’m going to be dependable with you and accept that my information of homeland melodies attractive much starts and finishes with the phrase y’all. So be arranged for abounding of Forrest Gumpian facts (“Wow, there are many of friends called Kenny in Country Music, aren’t there?”) and general signs of passionate bafflement, particularly if they play this. Fortunately, two ACTUAL homeland vocalists Jessy Lenat and Kerri Lowe– have connected me in the Guardian agency who will not only supply insider outlooks but will halt me from mentioning to Taylor Swift as Taylor Dane too numerous times. Saddle ‘em up, everyone! 7.30pm: By way of introduction, my associate Matt Wells has noted a short interview with our inhabitant professional for the night, Kerri Lowe. As well as composing and accomplishing her own melodies, Kerri works at Jalopy Theatre, a well-known folk melodies venue in Red Hook, Brooklyn. 7.48pm: Also here with me is Jesse Lenat, an player and singer-songwriter who presents on the origins melodies view in New York and round the country. Here’s his take on the accolades tonight: It’s a large-scale deal in the world of burst homeland music. It’s the large-scale happening if you are looking at financial mainstream homeland music. It’s what I call homeland pop. I estimate it’s like calling Britney Spears rock’n'roll. It’s rather distinct from the kind of melodies I manage, which is more of a conglomeration of older homeland melodies, more roots-y, more folk and blended with rock, blues and pop. It’s what mainstream homeland would pigeonhole as Americana. 8.04pm: Oh my goodness it’s starting! And it’s unfastening with Blake Shelton and, oh yes females and gentlemen, KENNY LOGGINS managing Footloose, while a burden of dancers composing round on scaffolding and spotlights sway round the arena drunkenly. All in all, it’s more like an the MTV accolades from the 1980s encounters ITV’s Gladiators than any thing to manage with homeland music. Well, they got me on edge from the boot off. Well finished, CMAs. Incidentally, certain thing very awful seems to have occurred to Loggins’s face recently. Let’s put it this way, his soul patch and earring are the smallest being concerned personal components on his face. I state no more. 8.05pm:The hosts, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, have just paced on and are engaging in “comedy banter”. Incidentally, Carrie seems to be wearing a marquee made out of some rolls of Charmin. And that is my expert latest tendency opinion. 8.08pm: Hank Williams Jr has just appeared. In case you don’t understand who Hank is, he’s is a large-scale burly man who lately got in a location of problem for matching Obama to Hitler while seeming on Fox and Friends. And Brad Paisley has made a jokey little quotation to it. I accept as factual this is the start of Merle’s “rehabilitation”. 8.09pm: HIDEOUSNESS KLAXON! For some cause, Brad and Carrie have a two of Barbie dolls (“OMG!” sound Carrie) and now they two of them are producing their Barbies have sex. On stage. Loudly. Is this legal? Well, it likely is in Nashville. 8.12pm: CELEBRITY KLAXON! Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family is giving an accolade, for causes I’m not rather sure. And then the camera whizzed over to the assembly and there was… Nicole Kidman. Looking rather attractive if, admittedly, facially immobile. 8.14pm: GONG! Single of the Year proceeds to “If I Die Young” by The Band Perry. “Is this good?” I inquire Kerri. “Ummm, it’s actually catchy,” she replies. I believe that is a euphemism for “meh.” 8.19pm: Carrie has altered her dress and Kerri and I acquiesce it is “much better.” Bear in brain this is all relative. Keith “Urban” Kidman is playing in what examines like the center of the arena and Lord all strong, gaze at those guns. Those things are so disproportionate I really halted joking at his hair. For a minute. 8.24pm: Keith Urban holds managing this intolerable boot with his little boots and it is so cheesy the entire room reeks of brie. Plus he’s wearing Q-reader consistent of very dark casual trousers and very dark shirt. I frankly believe my fertile morsels have just turned to ashes. 8.25pm: Now Sara Evans is vocalising, and she seems to be reimbursing for her awfully boring outfit (black trousers and very dark peak – tendency alert) by having dancers from Cirque du Soleil sway about on fine gist scarves. She is rhyming “longer” with “stronger.” Maverick. 8.31pm: We’ve had many more performances than accolades so far. This evening is all about the stage display, clearly. Here’s Kerri Lowe’s take on what we’ve seen: They’ve been attractive frustrating so far. The pieces of music are what homeland pieces of music have been ringing out like for the last five or 10 years and it makes it kind of the same. It all noise very well renowned, not at all fresh. Keith Urban is seeking too hard and Sara Evans actually can’t vocalise that well live. 8.33pm: Wow, Carrie has altered afresh, and is now wearing half a pink dress. Maybe she didn’t have time to put the entire thing on. Miranda Lambert is vocalising Baggage Claim and wavering those hips in a way I believe somebody one time notified her was “sassy.” She furthermore seems to be wearing a World Wide Wrestling monster band round her middle. 8.35pm: GONG! “If I Die Young” wins Song of the Year. How that disagrees from Single of the Year, which it won a couple of minutes before, is after me. Anyway, well finished, The Band Perry. 8.40pm: Someone called Zac Brown is vocalising Georgia on My Mind, which I not only believe he didn’t compose but I don’t believe that is his title as, assessing from his beardy, bushy look, he is apparently Zach Galifinananinikis. 8.41pm: Oh, Greg Allman was on the piano for that. I estimate I should have cited that. 8.46pm: Rascal Flatts are up now, and as a reporter of the directly reality it is my obligation to announce you that somebody has been consuming all the pies. That is not a judgement. That is the fact. Hey, I utilised to work on the latest tendency desk: fattism is my devices of the trade. The Flatts are connected on stage by Natasha Beddingfield, a who is wearing Snuffleupagus on her base half and just a bra on her peak half. It is an exceptional blend – audacious, for demonstration, a decisive strike for next time of the year and, no, I can’t hold this up, it is entire and utter cack. 8.47pm: GONG! Sugarland win Vocal Duo of the Year and the professionals in the agency are disgusted. “They suck,” Jesse says. Kerri was rooting for The Civil Wars, which is not a saying I ever composed before. I should have supplemented previous – the crystal accolades that the CMAs are presenting out are amazingly phallic. Again, this is not me being unfair. This is me describing a fact. 8.54pm: A polite man called Eric Church is now vocalising, Apparently, he’s a bit of a newbie but that;s not halting him from attaching his appendages up at the crowd. I believe that’s called “artistic expression.” Now Thompson Square have taken the mike. Mrs Thompson (Keifer and Shawna are married man and wife) seems to be wearing Elvira’s costume and they are vocalising in front of what examines very much like a nativity scene. I believe it actually is a nativity scene. Any snarky commentary here would be superfluous, wouldn’t it? 8.58pm: A juvenile whippersnapper is now crooning about how he can discover “voices all the time.” The phrases Chris Young are in writing on his guitar strap and I’m going to suppose that’s his name. Maybe he learns so numerous voices he desires a unchanging reminder of what his title is. Or perhaps he understands that no one understands who the torment he is. 8.59pm: Exciting report, liveblog readers! Lionel Ritchie is going to be vocalising with a burden of homeland vocalists who will be country-fying his songs. DID YOU HEAR THAT? A bluegrass type of Hello – just what the world needed. 9.06pm: TAYLOR SWIFT KLAXON: Yes, the translucent teenager is up on stage. Apparently her live performances rake in $750,000 for each performance. I understand that because I read it in the New Yorker. Because I am an east seaboard area elitist snob. They’ve set up the stage to resemble the dwelling room of a angry middle elderly hoarder. Seriously, there is a bird dwelling in this dwelling room. Anyway, she’s vocalising a wispy-wafty recital about persons who hurl rocks at things that shine. Is this about Kanye? I’m going to state yes as else this recital makes no sense at all. Who hurls rocks at things that shine? Mind you, I still don’t realise who has a bird dwelling in their dwelling room. 9.08pm: Exciting news! We have the lowest outfit of the year, probably even the lowest outfit of all time, ever. Carrie Underwood is now wearing blouson cowhide briefs, a tux coat and a peak hat. And now somebody called Luke Bryant is managing, Kerri notifies me, a homeland type of a hip jump sing. What recital, God only understands, but there are many of women out there having sex with chairs. “Only white girls,” Jesse points out. Well, duh – it is a homeland of a hip jump song. Weren’t you hearing, Jesse? 9.13pm: Here in the agency, Jesse Lenat and Kerri Lowe have been considering the performances so far. Here’s the best morsels of their exchange: JL: Flat, dull, hyper self-conscious and so overdone. KL: No-one is actually comfortable. Taylor Swift didn’t sound large, but she does understand how to compose a song. She endeavoured to manage certain thing that was calm and intimate,… JL:.. but it still arrives off as contrived. KL: … It’s hard to drag that off in such a large-scale theater. JL: But that’s the distinction between homeland now and vintage country. Willie Nelson can proceed before a gigantic gathering and be calm and be himself. None of these persons are themselves. They are all robots. KL: In genuine homeland, the pieces of music arrive out of necessity. JL: Taylor Swift shot her eyes up to the right three times – all she’s considering about is the camera, and herself as a product. She’s a gifted young female – so numerous of the persons are up there have gifts but they have to dispense themselves into a mold. There’s so much cash in it. They have to manage this. 9.17pm: Miss Piggy is on stage now She is decisively my very well liked presenter so far, even though she now has to enlist in “comedy banter” with Carrie and Brad. Is this part of the Muppets’ tender to owner the Oscars? If so, I support this. And now Carrie has just made a antic about household abuse. And just like that, we’re back to the CMAs. 9.17pm: Lady Antebellum emerge to be large-scale followers of the ol’ “singin’ on stools” school of performance. It just makes that instant when they comic and stroll to the front of the stage so spectacular, y’know? British readers, you might, at this issue, be feeling some nostalgia for Westlife. 9.21pm: GONG! Album of the Year has been won by the profoundly creative ringing out My Kinda Party, by Jason Aldean. And with his monster stetson and glossy very dark cowhide coat I’m gonna state that Jason’s kinda party examines like MY kinda party. 9.34pm: Kenny Chesney is vocalising on one of the little phases in the middle of the room. CMA followers understand him as a very carried out singer. I understand him as the man who was wed to Renee Zellweger for about two seconds. Isn’t it pleasant how we can all convey our expert information to this party. Like I said, it’s My Kinda Party. Keith is wearing a monster cowboy hat. I’m starting to glimpse where the marital difficulties may have lain. 9.35pm: LIONEL RITCHIE MEDLEY ALERT! So we’re beginning with Deep River Woman, which is not a Ritchie recital I have on my iPod (I’m more of an All Night Long kinda person.) And it has, really, been country-fied and you understand what? The world feels like a contented, better location for it. 9.38pm: Now we’re up on On My Way and, my goodness, the assembly are actually getting into it. There’s many of sombre swaying to the music. And now Lionel is running over to ANOTHER stage (he is so baller!) to manage Dancing on the Ceiling with Rascal “pie eater” Flatts. This one actually hasn’t been country-fied at all, which is both a frustration and a relief. 9.40pm: Incidentally, it turns out that Ritchie is really producing a entire album of homeland versions of his utmost hits. So this is not a random look at the CMAs – it’s just a random album. That’s right, people! You can hold that bluegrass type of All Night Long eternally and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever….! Yee haw! 9.48pm: And now The Band Perry are back on stage, not to be bewildered with Rick Perry who, as asserted by my political colleagues over the room, has just imploded. So in other phrases, The Band Perry is is having a better evening than Rick Perry. Ya glimpse what I did there? YA SEE?! Oh not ever mind. Pearls before swine. 9.53pm: GONG! Lady Antebellum has just won Vocal assembly of the year. As are against to signal dialect assembly of the year, presumably. It was offered by LeAnn Rimes, who I believe may be Renee Zellweger’s avatar. 10.02pm: Here’s Kerri Lowe’s take on the win by Lady Antebellum of the vocal assembly of the year award. When they begun off, I considered they were actually intriguing and authentic. They were a assembly, and I considered they would be managing this collaborative thing, which not numerous persons were doing. But they got to a certain issue in their vocation, and they begun having to fit in to a more financial mold, to the issue this night where they thanked their supervisor, their publicist and their “glam squad”. 10.04pm: Exciting! Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood have moved out of “presenter” obligation and are now on “singer” duty. They are vocalising certain thing about “making out in a gathering somewhere.” Isn’t that uncomfortable? Wouldn’t persons step on them? Why don’t they, literally, get a room? Incidentally, Carrie, baby: when you wear dresses slit up to your hip, perhaps don’t wear Spanx, yeah? There’s a love. 10.10pm: GONG! New Artist of the Year proceeds to… The Band Perry! Again! Thank heavens, perhaps those young men will have sufficient cash to get correct haircuts as are against to the curtains they are actually sporting. 10.17pm: Well now, here’s a turn up – it’s a muscular man in a plaid top and cowboy hat! Like we haven’t glimpsed that currently tonight. It’s Jason Aldean, with a new straw head covering as are against to the very dark one he had previous, and he has taken off his glossy very dark jacket. Because he entails biz-ness. Those casual trousers are damaging contrary to his thigh muscles. Phwoar, turn down the warmth, Jason! 10.19pm: CELEBRITY KLAXON! Reese Witherspoon is giving an award. and “it’s all about the guys!” she giggles. Despite that, I still love Reese Witherspoon. 10.20pm: GONG! Male Vocalist of the Year goes to… Blake Shelton. Now, if I may be so bold, “Blake” is not a very manly name. Bring back Jason Aldean and his damaging jeans! Blake, on the other hand, is wearing loose (manless) casual trousers, a crunchy azure top, a bind AND a waistcoat. Give him a tambourine and the man will shatter out Come On Eileen, god save us all. 10.22pm: Martina McBride is crooning away on a little centre stage in a white tux and the result is, will we state, a bit k d lang. Oh yes, you understand what I’m conversing about. “It should be strange to present on those little phases, like on an island,” muses Jesse. Well, no man is an island. But they can present on one. 10.31pm: Everyone in the assembly appears to be signalling round little azure lights. Were they handed out with them when they went in? Or does every individual signal round azure lights in Nashville? Anyone? 10.32pm: Keith Urban, Brad Paisley and Vince Gill, aka The Three (Country) Tenors, are giving a much warranted yell out to Glenn Campbell, lately identified with Alzheimer’s. That’s nice. And sad. Urban is evidently grinding atop his guitar. Let’s disregard that and aim on Glenn Campbell. 10.36pm: Glen Campbell is now up on stage, playing guitar and getting a standing ovation with his wife. As the Witchita Lineman should. 10.44pm: Presenters Brad and Carrie are now producing an oh so au courant Oscars joke. Apparently, they’re looking for a host. A ha. Well, if there was an Oscar for most pointless most costume alterations, Carrie, you’d be a shoo-in. 10.47pm: Faith Hill is singing. Her make up is witchy, her hair is tremendous and her pant match is too tight. It’s all starting to combine into one, isn’t it, readers? “She has a very broad stance,” remarks Jesse. And now that he’s sharp that out I literally will not halt staring at Faith’s damaging crotch. Again, another saying I not ever considered I’d write. 10.50pm: GONG! Female Vocalist of the Year proceeds to … Miranda Lambert! She of the Baggage Claim recital earlier. And, my god, young individual nominee Taylor Swift looked miffed at that one. “All of these females warrant this more than me,” states Miranda. In classic accolades cameraman method, we get a straight-on shot of Taylor Swift who is giving what I believe can be recounted as Death Eye. 10.55pm: Carrie Underwood, wearing a two of beige curtains, has presented Reba McIntyre, who, assessing from her face, has her own breeze appliance, lastingly exploding her directly on. 10.57pm: GONG! Entertainer of the Year proceeds to … Taylor Swift! And express gratitude god – we couldn’t probably have an accolades observance without Taylor getting anything. Taylor gets up on stage and does her attribute “oh my gosh, little ole me?!?!?!?!?” overreaction schtick on stage. She’s now on stage namedropping all of the vocalists who “always arrive out and play for all of my fans!” Bog off, Humblebragger. 11.03pm: Here’s Kerri Lowe on Swift: The one thing that I believe is good about Taylor Swift is that she actually buys vigilance to her fans. She’s tapped into this preteen young female market – she makes videos for them, and her pieces of music present this loving fantasy world for them. Her entire last album was about being wed – it assaults my brain – she’s not married. She’s applauded for being dependable, composing guys’ titles in her pieces of music – but she has made this fairytale, and she’s dwelling it. 11.05pm: Well, that’s it pardners. We glimpsed many of waistcoats, many of hats and even more awful pant suits. So what have we learned? Well, Taylor Swift is rather antagonising, Nicole Kidman can’t proceed her face and Kenny Loggins totes rocks. I’m not actually certain we could call this a discovering experience. Let’s just call it an experience. It’s been exceptional, y’all. Related posts:

| Duggar Family: Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar’s 19 Kids & Counting Duggar Family Posted: 09 Nov 2011 12:35 AM PST “19 Kids and Counting” stars Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are anticipating the birth of their 20th progeny, the twosome said on Tuesday as they forecast a require to yet afresh change the title of their truth television show. The Duggars, who said their new baby is due in April, celebrity on twisted cord mesh TLC in a display that recounts their every day labours and triumphs lifting 19 young children in Arkansas. “We are just actually looking ahead with exhilaration to this new little gift,” Michelle Duggar said in a video for TLC that was dispatched online on Tuesday. “And so the name will change to ’20 and Counting.’” Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are anticipating their 20th progeny this jump, the twosome disclosed Tuesday forenoon on "Today." "We are so excited," said Michelle, who is three and a half months into her pregnancy. Jim Bob, 46, echoed his wife’s sentiments, saying, "Michelle and I both seem like some of the most blessed parents in the world. Our young children are so sugary … we are so appreciative to God." "We didn't desire to halt on an strange number," he added. While numerous are still shocked each time the ever-expanding brood broadcasts a new family constituent, the mom of 19 states she was most alarmed to discover she was anticipating at age 45. "I was not considering that God would give us another one, and we are just so grateful," she says. "I seem good. I am past the sickness stage now." The twosome, who celebrity on TLC's "19 Kids and Counting," reside in Tontitown, Ark., and are parents to young children Joshua, 23; twins Jana and John-David, 21; Jill, 20; Jessa, 19; Jinger, 17; Joseph, 16; Josiah, 15; Joy-Anna, 14; twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 12; Jason, 11, James, 10, Justin, 8, Jackson, 7; Johanna, 6; Jennifer, 4; Jordyn, 3; and almost 2-year-old female child Josie, who endured a health crisis when she was born at only 25 weeks. Despite pain from gall-bladder difficulties as well as preeclampsia throughout her last pregnancy, Michelle abstains from birth command and states she departs her family designing up to God. "When we gaze at Josie … even understanding that we went through the dispute that we did, we would manage it again," Michelle said last year. Doctors have granted Michelle the green lightweight on her present pregnancy. A new component, although, is that Michelle will have her very first Cesarean part since her last child's premature birth needed a slash be made to the interior of her uterus. But Jim Bob and Michelle aren't the only ones stimulated for their new addition's appearance in April.

He said his wife had preeclampsia in her second pregnancy and that it did not recur until her pregnancy with her 19th child. “We’re pleading that that won’t occur this time,” he said. The cautious Christian Duggar twosome have granted all their young children titles that start with the note J. Jim Bob is a previous constituent of the Arkansas House of Representatives.
