Okay Carrie Underwood's last wardrobe change is the best. It is gorgeous' just like her and more risque too. You wear it well Carrie!

Well it was a good show. A little mild, a little boring, but okay. I really was wanting to see a little more outrageous outfits, but we always have next year.

Newcomer nominee and heart - throb Chris Young sings "Voices." Handsome dude! But the hair-do needs a little work. It looks like something out of the movie Grease. Oh, I think they call that a duck-tail...or something like that. Very Retro Chris!

Another award - Vocal Duo - Sugarland. Really? I was cheering for Thompson Square. They did an awesome job on their Number One hit, "Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not?"

I'm praying for you sweetie!. Sara Evans up next with her hit "A Little Bit Stronger." Sorry Sara but you were out of tune the entire song. Guess she is still upset for losing to the Band Perry a few moments ago. Too harsh? Sorry!
