I'm Doggin' Some Of These CMA Award Nominees

What’s your take on the CMA Award Nominations?  Here's mine: 

• Jason Aldean’s become a great entertainer, or hired a better publicist.
• Brad Paisley’s staying power is pretty strong. He could be the next Little Jimmie.
• I like Blake Shelton a lot and think he deserves all his nominations, but that “Honey Bee’ song sounds so cornball to me. You?
• Taylor Swift has a mean streak going herself on these nominations and awards.
• Why do you not put “The” in front of Zac Brown Band?
• Why do they call it “Musical Event of the Year”? It’s really like best guest duo or something like that.
• You gotta kind of pull for that Band Perry don’t you? They’re so cute.
• My tail’s waggin that Sara Evans has a nomination for Single of the Year
• Zac Brown’s You Get What You Give is up for Album of the Year. It doesn’t look to me like they gave much for that album cover though?
• Anything Loretta Lynn’s nominated for, I’m pulling for that one. 
• And let’s repeat the nominees for Musician of the Year because I love them musicians and you’ll never find a more concentrated group of excellent musicians than in Nashville, Tennessee. Nominees are: Sam Bush for Mandolin, Jerry Douglas for Dobro, Paul Franklin for Steel Guitar, Dann Huff for Guitar, and Mac McAnally for Guitar!
