Carrie was snubbed at the CMT Awards this morning. She was nominated in Video of the Year, but missed out in Female to Kellie Pickler, Miranda Lambert, Martin
McBride and Taylor Swift. Her fans should have been at CMT voting instead of spending their days bitching about Kelly Clarkson here. (I do think Carrie
deserved a Female nod, though. WTF Pickler!?) Hoping Miranda wins now.

'American Idol' smackdown vs. Grammys: Who cares?With more than 9,000 voters piping in, Adam Lambert has a substantial lead over
Kris Allen (68% vs 32%) in our poll asking this question: Which
"American Idol" contestant will win more showbiz awards?
Those outcries are typical of many comments by posters furious - or baffled - by us daring to ask such a question. What's the problem? Isn't "American Idol" everyman's equivalent to the Grammys? The TV singing contest purports to tell us what average folk think of these performers. Why can't we compare them to the winners of the industry's Grammy? On one hand, the pondering might reveal who'll win "Idol." Carrie Underwood is a fine example of someone who's won both contests. She's claimed four Grammys over all, including one of the top four prizes: best new artist. Maybe Kelly Clarkson too - she's won two Grammys in the pop categories. However, success at one music contest doesn't necessarily mean payoff at the other. Among "Idol" losers, Jennifer Hudson has not only won a Grammy but an Oscar too. Chris Daughtry's self-titled band hasn't won a Grammy, but it has scored four nominations. But that's not what has gotten Gold Derby readers so riled up. It's that we had the audacity to ask: Is it possible for Allen to win "Idol" but Lambert to have the most enduring music career as measured by showbiz awards? Scroll through the comments in response and you'll see such outcries as "This is the stupidest article!" Our posters also popped their cyber-corks when we had the audacity to wonder: Will Adam Lambert turn out to be a loser after winning 'American Idol'? Scroll through the comments section and you'll see this doozy reply: "This is the most biased and ridiculous article I have read all day." Another poster harrumphs in a grammatically challenged way: "You sure got a lot of hate, didn't you?" While we compare how America's Grammys have fared opposite the music biz's Grammys, it's relevant to explore how the "American Idol" TV show has fared when judged by the TV industry's highest honor: the Emmy. Answer: not well. "American Idol" keeps winning TV's Nielsen contest. It's not only TV's top-rated reality show, it's the tube's most-watched show, period, but it's lost the Emmy for best reality competition show six times to "Amazing Race." It's also lost 32 other Emmy contests. Its only victories were in crafts categories and, since one of those (best technical direction, 2007) was for the "Idol Gives Back" TV special, that means that the actual weekly TV series has won only one Emmy (best picture editing, 2008). |

How can someone be nominated for video of the year when their video isn't even good enough to be nominated in the more specific category of female video of
the year?

and Carrie's is the only one not nominated in another category. |

I guess it's time to make a shit load of accounts on CMT and power vote for Taylor Swift in the video of the year category just to ensure Carrie loses to the screechowl. I'll be voting for Martina as the female vocalist because at least she can sing unlike the rest of the caterwaulers in that category. |

So Bo says that becoming a better person and learning so much about himself was the true reward for being on Idol meanwhile vapid, shallow, and vain C.unty
says it's most important to be famous. She likes looking like a star. So much for being a better person I guess.
I found Bo's remarks about people becoming self-absorbed to be quite telling. Also his comment that Carrie "fit the mold" ie: fabricated and fake. |

Kelly Clarkson #1 song in UK, #1 song in Canada, 20 million albums sold world wide, #1 song on the global chart with BOY.... at least 4 world tours...... yeah, I think we know who the world wide star is and like I said, it's not Carrie. Here's hoping Adam can join Kelly as the other world famous idol. KMCMF wrote: she really is! it's kind of creepy. dic wrote:

The global chart is a meaningless ranking by a couple of DJs from a European radio station. As far as the world tours, why no South and Central American, African and Asian dates. Kelly's hardly a worldwide star.
