Maybe because they are pop rather than country?

Don't care who does or who does not get these awards. The whole lot of them: grammy's, emmy's, whatever the hell y's - nothing but a bunch of self-indulged crap. If you like their music or acting, buy the stuff or go see the stuff. Don't need to wear some stupid dress or shirt with soft shoes all the while walking on some stupid carpet and acting like utter idiots in front of millions of other idiots.

I haven't listened to them in a long while, but I think they classify themselves as "country" musicians. Which makes this even more delicious. ;)

With that...a mighty message has been sent out from Nashville. Pretenders can win a Grammy easily...but if you can't even get a nomination...then you aren't country...which is what Nashville has quietly been hinting for several years. The Chicks likely expected this and will issue out a harsh message to Nashville and the media crowd there...but it'll be page 3 news in the Nashville paper.

And for the Grammy crowd who voted them country record of the year...perhaps a wasted effort? But then Grammy voters wouldn't want to admit that they voted for the wrong reasons.

Maybe it's because they "had" to go pop to sell any records.

The conservative country music fans threw them under the bus.

Rightfully. We folks don't condone slamming our President, especially while in a foreign country.

The grammys embarrassed themselves giving them all those awards.

I'm with you. I have no time for their self-agrandizment (whether it be the Country Music awards or any other awards). Just shut up and entertain. I could care less about their being put up on some make believe pedestal.

Probably. I don't listen to much Country these days, but what I've heard from them ain't country. Pop with the occasional fiddle or steel guitar does not 'Country' make, IMHO.

There is some background as to why she said "Heh Heh" at the Grammy's. I have gone around for months putting Homers "DOH" at the end of my posts on various blogs about them. It was in response to that.

You can read some of those posts if you wants
