Brad Paisley Might Have Started His ACM Domination

Posted: March 31st, 2009 at 5:24 pm | By: Chris Parton

Brad Paisley started his week leading up to the ACM Awards by grabbing two trophies today (March 31), earning wins for video of the year and vocal event of the year with Keith Urban. The video of the year award goes for his heartfelt "Waitin' on a Woman" (featuring Andy Griffith) and vocal event for his duet with Urban on "Start a Band." I kind of expected the vocal event award to go that way, but Paisley's video win seems pretty telling. He had some tough competition in Heidi Newfield's "Johnny and June," George Strait's "Troubadour," Taylor Swift's "Love Story" and Carrie Underwood's "Just a Dream," and to win it makes me think that Paisley might have some momentum building. He's nominated in four more categories, including entertainer of the year, and I'm wondering what the odds of a sweep are.

I think Carrie or Kenny will take Entertainer. I love Brad, but he will win Male vocalist again, and maybe Single or song… but not entertainer.

Star you said it would not mean much to the stars. You are wrong there. Fans are the ones that buy the videos and cd’s. It will mean more to the stars because they will know they have the best fans backing them.
