We already checked out all the red carpet looks and now it's time to get down to the show at last night's Country Music Awards in Nashville. The big winners of the night were Carrie Underwood, who won Female Vocalist of the Year for the second year in a row and Single of the Year for "Before He Cheats," and for the guys Kenny Chesney who won Entertainer of the Year, and Brad Paisley, Male Vocalist of the Year. Check out the full list of winners here. An unexpected highlight for me was Kellie Pickler who got pretty emotional during her song, and on a random note Jamie Foxx's appearance. Meanwhile, I was expecting a whole lot of Jessica Simpson all over the CMAs and she was apparently in the auditorium, but kept herself out of the spotlight — she's more serious about country music than another photo op. Ha. Did any of you watch the show? Favorite moments? Shockers?

Sheryl Crow needs to sue whatever doctor did her face.
1Carrie look like a beauty pageant contestant ...Congrats
2I CAN'T STAND Kellie Pickler!!! That song has been a single for quite awhile now so the crying was STUPID! She got her tears out on the View awhile back, no need for anymore.
3Didn't watch it.
4But I am NOT A FAN of country soooo...
don't like country...
5I love Rascal Flatts!!!!
Congrats on their victory!
I totally missed them with Jamie Foxx though!
Carrie looked gorgeous last night!
6So did Martina and Leann!
Carrie looks quite pretty...for a man in drag.
And what happend to LeAnn? She looks skeletal.
7LeAnn Rimes has gotten entirely too thin.
8Carrie still looks like a grandma to me - she dresses too old.
9yeah i agree with the carrie comments....she should have worn something much younger and more stylish...i think she looked best in the before he cheats video..her hair has been looking funny lately...but still, shes very pretty
10Gosh..I hate country music so much words cannot describe. This being on actually made me long for 'private practice' instead...ugh....
11Sheryl Crow has way much hair. She needs a new do...something tossed and sexy a few inches shorter.
I like Kid Rock and Gretchen together. They'd be a great couple!
12Kellie Pickler cries every time she sings that song...it's been going on since she released her album and went on tour. It's her way of still trying to use her past to get attention.
13I watched the entire thing and loved every minute! All the performances were great and yes the Jamie Foxx appearance so extremely random.
14Kelli Pickler is so fake to me.
I think Carrie looks really pretty...although it is in a country beauty queen kind of way.
15i used to hate country music...until i realized that it was the best thing ever. people can actually sing, it's camp and cheese at its best, and the CMAs are enjoyable to watch - unlike the VMAs, Grammys, and all other awards shows as of late.
16Carrie is pretty..but she does look like she's competing in the Miss County Fair pageant. I don't know if it's the hair or the layers of makeup...or both!
17Awteena, I used to feel the same way!
I started loving country music a few years back and its awesome!
The CMA"s are actually fun and full of talent!
I actually just went to a Rascal Flatts concert this past weekend and thet are amazing!!! Seriously that guy can sing his ass off!
18I have always liked Carrie but I read a very unflattering article about her earlier today saying she was really ragging on some of the other performers and behaving in a Diva like state at the awards. Hoping it's not true.
19Sometimes country can be a little too cheesy for me, but I really like artists who can sing. I tend to like Johnny Cash type old country (a voice taht really tells a story), but I also like some of Carrie's music.
Old Crowe Medicine Show is a band that is blue grass, but they have a slight moder flare to them, and they are freaking amazing.
20I missed it last night!
can any give me a youtube link to carrie's performance?
21I watched a lot of it, I enjoyed Carrie's performance, Brad Paisley's and George Strait's. There were others but I'm not that up to date with Country. I grew up listening to it because of my Dad and we couldn't listen to anything else when we were in the car so I grew up liking it. I'm more old school country though, like Cash, George Strait, Alabama, The Oak Ridge Boys, etc. But I like some of the new performers...just not that crying Pickler girl..LOL!
22Oh yeah, I liked LeAnn and Reba's duet. My hubby looked up when LeAnn was singing and he gasped, he said she was really skinny and had broad shoulders. It was funny, I didn't expect him to comment on that.
23I love George Strait
song of the year and album of the year
Jaime Foxx was random,but he was a roomate of Gary from Rascal Flatts.. Leanne got way too
skinny and one of my fave singers (blake shelton) had to sit next to papa Joe..
24Kellie Pickler is a great singer, and if anybody has ever gone through what she has gone through with her mother, they wouldn't be criticizing her. Nobody has the right to judge other people, unless you give them the right to judge YOU!
25well I see how kellie is dealing with her problems,by getting a new set of twins
26I tuned in just to see Carrie perform. She looked so beautiful and did a fanstastic job on the song.
~~GO COWBOYS
27butterfly, it was good- Gary's voice sounded worn out, but Jamie saved him, and one of them said they used to roommates
28letsgetloud, I saw that! You know Blake's a jokester, I wonder if he was cracking any Simpson jokes...
29Kellie is a HORRIBLE singer. She only got through to American Idol by her bimbo comments which people thought were "cute." I agree withLetsgetloud. Getting new boobs isn't the way to deal with your problems. Ishop2much, I'm sure you've criticized people before - everyone does it. It's a free world, we can say what we want. I don't like Kellie, the end.
30thanks sugarbecky
I love Gary's voice but yeah he did sound a littlw worn out when they opened up the show too! Im sure its from all the touring though cause when I them on Saturday he sounded amazing!
31Yay for Carrie! She is such a talented woman.
32If they panned to sourpuss Jessica Simpson one more time I was going to die. If you really want to turn your career to country would it be so hard to at least fake a smile.
SO happy Sugarland won. They are fantastic and 2 of the nicest people you could meet. And my girl Taylor is going to be a superstar.
And John Rich can stop anytime now. Really.
33i love county! Everyone did an amazing job! Carrie underwood, Taylor Swift, Martina McBride, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts the list goes on and on! Everyone did amazing!
34i love county! Everyone did an amazing job! Carrie underwood, Taylor Swift, Martina McBride, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts the list goes on and on! Everyone did amazing!
35stupid carrie and stupid kellie
36not even going to go into all the deserving artists who were shut out and didn't even receive a nom...but i do agree that there were a lot of great performances....Sugarland, Carrie, Reba and LeAnn...
37Jessica kept herself out of the spotlight? Weird!
38exactly the reason why I dont listen to country.
