From Chet Flippo:
Fallout From the 43rd CMA Awards Nominations
Posted: September 9th, 2009 at 6:00 pm | By: Chet Flippo
Here are some musical tidbits that came out of the nominations for the 43rd CMA Music Awards:
• The Raconteurs got their first nomination -- for musical event for "Old Enough" and also garnered guest vocalist Ashley Monroe her first nomination. Another guest vocalist, Ricky Skaggs, earned his 24th CMA nomination. His last nomination came 10 years ago in the same category. He has won eight CMA awards.
• Randy Travis, up for song of the year and for musical event with Carrie Underwood for "I Told You So," was last nominated in 2003. He last won in 1988, for male vocalist. The song for which he and Underwood are nominated, his composition "I Told You So," was a No. 1 hit for Travis in 1988. He has a total of five wins and 24 nominations.
• Lee Ann Womack, in line for musical event for "Everything but Quits" with George Strait, was last nominated in 2005 and received a total of six nods that year. She won three awards in 2005 -- for album, single and musical event (also with George Strait).
• In earning his first two CMA nominations this year, for male vocalist and new artist, Darius Rucker becomes the first black artist to receive a CMA nomination in 29 years. Charley Pride's last nomination came in 1980 for the album There's a Little Bit of Hank in Me.
• This is the first year since 1998 that Alan Jackson has not been nominated. His string of 79 nominations and 16 awards dates back to 1990.*********************************************
• Toby Keith continues to receive minimal attention from the CMA Awards. He was last nominated in 2005, for entertainer, song, single and video. He won the latter category, making it his second CMA win.
• Carrie Underwood, nominated this year for female vocalist and musical event, has never been nominated for entertainer of the year. She has five awards -- three for female vocalist, one for single of the year and one Horizon Award (now known as the new artist of the year award).
• Rascal Flatts' seven CMA awards include six straight for vocal group and one for the Horizon Award. They were twice nominated for entertainer of the year, the last time being in 2007.
• Jason Aldean was not nominated this year, despite repeated radio and chart success. Aldean has two past nominations -- in 2008 for new artist and in 2007 for Horizon.

It's unbelievable to me that Alan did not get nominated at all. He is the epitomy of country music. Love him and his music always.

I was astounded as well -These award shows are becominmg popularity contests not awards for talent - how do you have 4 # 1 songs on a CD and not get nominated for anything? Makes no sense at all.....

I agree. Alan should at least have a Male Vocalist nod. |

I tend to agree with you. When you think of Country Music. Also Trace Adkins has some good songs out. Personally I feel the only way that it can possibly be fair is to have different catagories in Country Music. Pop Country, Southern Country, Traditional Country,
Country rock & roll, or whatever they need to make it fair. How can Taylor Swift compete with George StraiT and be fair? Her style is not Country to me. Obviously the Business goes for the younger generation. Leann Rimes sang Country at 13 , she did a great Patsy Cline called "Blue"She sang Country from day one.
Just my opinon

I so agree with all of you. Recall this year when they talked of the fans doing the voting. We certainly know where all of the awards would go. My heart keeps breaking when Alan is by passed like this. There are so many artists any more I do not know a lot of them, because of their style. They definitely are not country. Is Alan's label not supporting him?

Nelle, thank you for pushing ISB on Buckeye. I will put my cursor on vote, click real fast and then you do not have to go back and forth. Not sure if you can request or not. I see there is a login at the top right corner. Maybe you can join if you wish and see. Come back and let us know. I can push it too 100% and then it will be 6% later. Oh well, we will just keep voting where we can.
