It was so great watching last year's CMA awards celebrating the women(past and present) of country music, and then for all those women to see "Lip Sync" Brooks being named Entertainer of the Year over CMA host Carrie Underwood. The CMA's, and so-called country music is long past dead and gone. Now it's glorified pop music, and bro-country.

Does he even need to? He can do a whole concert on his hits, and it’s still awesome.

Country superstar Garth Brooks announced Wednesday that he is attempting to withdraw himself from consideration for entertainer of the year, the top prize at the CMA Awards, which he won last November for a seventh time, saying it’s time to let a new generation take the honor.

In a press conference held via Zoom, Brooks told reporters that he was aware of some backlash after winning the top prize last November for the third time in four years. Rather than take exception to it, he said that one tweet he saw in particular stuck with him and convinced him he should bow out of consideration. “For eight months, it has bothered me,” he admitted, saying he now has a “free feeling” in yanking himself from eligibility — or trying to.

What other artist is doing primetime concerts from their studio on national television?

No one has that kind of appeal.

I'm at the point with "Country" music that I just want ANYONE to get drunk and drive a lawnmower to the liquor store.

Is he performing as Garth "Lip Sync" Brooks or Chris Gaines on those studio concerts?

I'd say the King of Country Music George Strait has more appeal to real authentic COUNTRY music fans.

Im with you. Just saying that George ain't getting a primetime concert on ABC.

That's what entertainer of the year awards go to.

Mike Tyson is entertaining, he isn't the best boxer.
