Whether you watch the Academy of Country Music Awards for the music or for the hot cowboys, you’re in luck this year. Country-singing hottie Kenny Chesney is dominating the list of nominees and is up for 11 nominations this year, including Entertainer of the Year and Top Male Vocalist.

But Chesney has some tough competition; also up for Entertainer of the Year are Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, George Strait, and Keith Urban. So can he win? Well, we have the power to help him this year.

For the first time ever, the Entertainer of the Year award winner will be chosen by the fans. So, you can vote, vote, vote, starting on May 5. That gives you some time to listen to Chesney’s newest album over and over again. Or to stare at pictures of his amazing body. Perferably shirtless.

If 39-year-old Chesney wins for Entertainer of the Year, it will be his fourth straight win, tying him with Garth Brooks. Can you say legend?

And after you’re done voting, you can tune into the awards on May 18, held in Las Vegas, to see all of your favorite country stars. Also up for awards are Rodney Atkins, Carrie Underwood, Big and Rich, Brad Paisley, Sugarland, Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift, Jack Ingram, Kellie Pickler, and more.

Does it even matter whether or not you like country music? With hot men in cowboy hats and the chance of Chesney taking his shirt off, I know I’ll be watching.

Daddy Simpson is spreading the word. Big sis Jess is taking it country. No more bubblegum pop.

Although I will admit I loved “With You”…which I’m listening to right now…

That’s the reason I love Jessica Simpson. Her music sucks and its horrible… and I love it. It’s the dance around in your underwear, want to be in love, lip-syncing in the mirror with a hairbrush type of music. It’s awful. It’s so awful you can’t help but love it. And I do.

But country?

Please, Jessica, spare me.

Your fake country accent in Dukes of Hazzard was worse than your fake tan at the CFDA awards. I grew up on country music and there are plenty of awful female country singers out there to go around. If there wasn’t, I wouldn’t have “Redneck Woman” stuck in my head right now.

As everyone’s favorite teenager dad said, “Everything in the music business, especially pop music, has moved away from singers. And I think country is the only pure, storytelling kind of genre left.”

So Jessica has a story to tell, and apparently she wants to tell it through country ballads rather than bubblegum pop lyrics. Is one genre not enough for musicians these days? Do they have to do everything—not just movies and music but every music genre too? Read More »
