Brooks and Dunn gave a superb performance with there new single *I Believe* Faith Hill and Tim Mc Graw were magnificent in the Duo new hit *Like We Never Loved at All* Dolly Parton and Elton John with the Classic *Imagine*

Carrie Underwood did great singing her new CD Jesus take the Wheel.

Dolly Parton and Elton John with the Classic *Imagine*

Elton John and Country Music? Somehow this is not a combo that would make me want to tune in, no matter who he pairs up with.

Bon Jovi was a pleasant surprise despite his political leanings : )))

I watched it...great music. Miranda Lambert's " Kerosene" makes ya get up & stomp! Faith Hill & Tim McGraw was the highlight. Keith Urban looked overwhelmed by it all. Good show!

Elton John is a Highly Talented Musician and Songwriter no need to short him for his great contribution in music, as well as Dolly is Dolly and a great lady! Great Duo!

Well, besides the fact that some no name gal was singing while in the back, some idiot with a mohawk was playing an electric guitar, and a few other things, it was a pretty good show. Why were Glenn Campbell and Alabama allowed to speak while that black guy's family was only in the audience and not called on the stage?

"Imagine"? Did you say "Imagine"? As in John Lennon's "Imagine"? Perhaps this is why I don't watch (that and the fact that I don't have a TV). How the heck is this stuff country? There is absolutely nothing Western in common circulation either. It's simply pop music; much like that of the late 70's and 80's. Sure, some of the music is nice, but to label it country is a sin. Certainly no more songs of cattle drives, roping cattle, working life, and unrequited love. Just more of the further feminization of our society. Imagine all the people roping and riding, I say, not feeling and loving.

Pleesee...*Imagine* is a classic hit always has been always will and speaks of PEACE in the World what a novel concept! people getting along of all religions all cultures, all political affiliations all races? *IMAGINE if that could happen?

Fantastic Musicians and Songwriters and I surely appreciate the music they produce instead of the junk that is now out there from the MTV generation.

To make it worse, they held the CMAs in New York City.

If I remember the song right; no religion, no property, no country, one world? Wait. Didn't they try this? I think it was called communism. Even richer is the song was written and perfomed by a guy worth mega millions due to the fact that he lived in a country where property rights and freedom of expression allowed him to acquire all he could to preach at us. I respect your righht to enjoy this song, but there is no way this is even remotely country. As far as I am concerned C&W is dead and gone. Perhaps you should add another verse to the song, "Imagine there's no country and western, and none of its values too."

Sorry, but Imagine is the worst piece of insipid tripe that has ever been penned. American Pie is a close second.

I take it you are not a country music fan. The Elton-Parton, Paul Simon-Willie Nelson things were horrible. George Strait, Martina McBride, Allison Krauss and Union Station, Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley - about the only good things on there.

And bring back Vince Gill as emcee. Brooks and Dunn are BORING!!

My negative observations:

"Bon Jovi?...country music?...NOT!"

"Elton John and Dolly Parton? Ugh! Couldn't they have found someone better to sing with Dolly?"

"Elton John and Dolly Parton singing Lennon's Imagine? {turning the channel back to Fox News} Give me a freaking break!"

Other than that, it was good.

Why? because John Lennon wrote it? listen to the words?

LOOK AT THESE GUYS!! Since when is C&W like some gay GQ magazine? It looks like a cover to an International Male catalog! Gimme a break. There probably isn't any accordian or fiddle in the tune, let alone any good yodeling!

Inspiration?!? C&W isn't about inspiration, it's about commiseration!
