I haven't watch the CMT music awards in a number of years but I thought I might give it a shot. I'm sad to say that the quality continues to decline.
Nothing against many of the presenters, but you can easily tell that this line-up was chosen by someone who doesn't listen to or like country music. They picked these actors and non-country music celebrities by what they thought would give them the ratings.
And the singular worst moment had to be Shania Twain, who's always been more of a pop-star, accepting some award for women in country music. Apparently there's some kind of movement to force stations to play more female artists? I dunno, it's weird. I can name you a dozen legendary female artists right off the top of my head so I was unaware that radio stations are refusing to play female artists. Whatever.
The point is CBS has no clue what the fans want, or worse, they do and they just refuse to listen to their customers.
