BMI Honors Miranda Lambert for Her First Number 1

by Joi on March 2, 2010

BMI Honored Miranda Lambert for her First #1 single with a 1940′s style bash. A few hundred people helped her celebrate at The Cellar on February 26, 2010 in Nashville, Tennessee.

My only thought is this, how could this be Miranda Lambert’s first number one single? The girl has been putting out incredible songs for some time now. Wow. Congratulations for an honor that, in all honesty, should have come much sooner. Miranda Lambert is one of the biggest stars in Country Music right now – with a voice as good as anyone on the radio.

Enjoy these pictures of Miranda Lambert from the event. You’ll recognize her boyfriend and fellow country music superstar (Love Hillbilly Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo Bone!) Blake Shelton. You’ll also probably recognize Kellie Pickler. I say probably because when I first saw the pictures of Kellie, I couldn’t figure out if it was Kellie Pickler or a very thin Kelly Osborne.

Jessica Simpson, Julianne Hough, LeAnn Rimes and Kellie Pickler Pictures

Four of the prettiest faces in Country Music – Jessica Simpson, Julianne Hough, LeAnn Rimes, and Kellie Pickler – were on hand at the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards Nominations Announcement. I wonder how awkward it was, given the fact that LeAnn Rimes has been pretty catty about Jessica in the media.

Adorable Interview with Kellie Pickler

by Joi on October 2, 2008

The Boot has done a great interview with one of my all-time favorite idols, Kellie Pickler. There’s no one quite like this girl! I think it’s funny, in a sad sort of way, when other country stars try to act like her. She’s genuinely a sweet southern girl with a heart as big as her smile.

The article is called 11 Questions With Kellie Picker and each one is a Must Read. My favorite one might be #6: What’s your opinion on ‘Idol’ contestants who bash the show?

Kellie: “Well, people who do that don’t end up making it very far! I can’t stand it when people are sassy to the judges. If you can’t take constructive criticism, then you are in the wrong business! And for someone to come off of ‘American Idol’ and not to be appreciative — chances are they would never be doing what they’d be doing now. I guarantee you I’d still be back in Abermarle working at Sonic. ‘Idol’ opens doors. It’s just selfish not to thank them.”

CMA Music Festival Fan Fair 2007

by Joi on July 7, 2007

From e-mails and comments, I know some of y’all are as into country music as I am – so I thought you might appreciate more Country Music flavored posts. I like to represent a lot of different genres of music on the blog and one of the main reasons is I listen to every conceivable genre, myself. I can’t imagine EVER getting locked into just one…not when there are so many great artists spread across the board.

Variety is the spice of life and music’s one of those areas where the more spice you have, the yummier it is!
