Well payola is still alive and well in country music, all you have to have is blonde hait(lots of it) and sling it around as if your was mounted on ball bearings and lots,& lots of money to buy all your play time on paid radio. The girl would have a hard time caring a tune with the help of a waste basket.

Congratulations Keith! You so deserve this and every other good thing. What a true generous soul and before anyone falls apart, please remember he was saying his fans can SHARE his music. He realizes that the more that hear the music the more fans are made for Artist as well as writer, recording companies and on down the line. The music industry are going to one day realize sharing goes on, but with all the tech smarts out there now this problem could be solved with a few restrictions on CD's, both recorded and blank and on computer downloads in terms of how many times any song can be ripped, burned or downloaded. I know there are people out there who can figure this out.

Your wrong both male and female were the right choices. And as I said before if you don't like it don't listen and you don't have to worry about it.

Taylor can song I've heard her live as well. And I would have to strongly disagree with her. Your just gealouse of her. She got where she is on hard work and talent and she deserves to be there. So quite hating and if you don't like it do somtjing about it. So for all Taylor fans you deserv it you are the peoples choice. Also congrats to Carrie and Keith

I sure hope that 2010 is not all about Taylor Swift. I've really heard enough of her and her pop greatness. If she could really sing it might be different. I saw her live and it was like a Disney production...costume changes, head slinging, drumcans..it was terrible. And she is supposedly ruling the entertainment world. How sad is all I can say!
