The CMAs

Country's biggest night (well, except for the other awards show they have where they rearrange the letters...) was amazing! But it raised the questions, just what is country music!? The line seems to have been blurred in recent years.

According to the Star Tribune:

"If what we saw on the 42nd annual Country Music Association Awards on Wednesday night was country, well, then Kid Rock, not George Strait, should be the king of Nashville. And Darius Rucker, the voice of 1990s rock sensations Hootie & the Blowfish, should be the prince."

Strait won a trophy for album of the year for "Troubadour" and for single of the year for "I Saw God Today", while Kenny Chesney won top entertainer for the third consecutive year!

Most would say that Rucker's performance of "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" was the most passionate performance of the night. Buuuuuut Kid Rock gave the night's best performance. His remake of "All Summer Long," featured rap hero Lil' Wayne on guitar. Yeah, that's right. Lil' Wayne was performing at the CMAs. What's up now?
