The 2011 CMT Awards are coming up and CMT is trying to market the award show and create hype about it like never before. Honestly though, this award show, like most CMT Awards shows before, will be a bust compared to the CMA's and ACM's shows. The artists performing, or at least most of them, are the same country and "country" singers that perform at the other more prestigious award shows. That being said, the CMT Music Awards shows tend to be presented with a more pop-rock with a dash of rap type of theme rather than a country atmosphere. The CMT Awards are much like the MTV Awards - wait a minute, MTV owns CMT, hmmm.
Acts performing this Wednesday night include Sugarland, Toby Keith, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Keith Urban, Big and Rich (the duo is back!), Lady Antebellum, and a few others. There is also supposed to be a special appearance by Shania Twain, it may be as a performer or just presenting an award. Justin Bieber will also show up as a nominee, yes he is a nominee.
If you will be tuning in to watch, then the show will air on CMT on June 8 at 8/7 central. Actually, you might want to tune in earlier because there is usually a pre-show of some sorts.
Thanks for reading and I hope the award show turns out well!
