Rundown

<--- Here's the view from my seat.

Brad and Keith kick off the show.

Rodney comes about 45ish minutes in... not listed with a special guest -- sorry.

Brooks & Dunn have a special guest about half way through, on their performance of "Cowgirls Don't Cry." Hmm.... who would be a cowgirl special guest?

Kid Rock comes after Taylor Swift. Someone make sure he stays away from that lovely young lady. They're going to sweep through the top of the first hour.

Keith performs solo after Album of the Year... then Carrie. She should hit around the top of the 2nd hour. Then Female Vocalist.

Eagles close the show -- I'm shocked it's not Kenny. He's 3rd to last.

Sharon -- Trace is next to last performance.

A special guest is presenting the Entertainer of the Year -- you know that has to be Shania.

Any questions I can answer?

What are you wearing? :)

Producer J. said...

Black satin and velvet skirt that absolutely MUST be retired after tonight, I've worn if for EVERYTHING. Emerald Green satin shirt, black boots, and a hot pink press laminate. Hair is half up, half down.

Seems like a kinda busy background for photos.

Do the winners come back to the media room immediately? If so, how do you talk to them and pay attention to the show at the same time? (Or maybe you don't?)

I've heard Lil Wayne is going on Stage with Kid rock? (nashvillegab) Maybe he is their HUGE surprise... Yuck ;)

Your outfit sounds great, and your hair too. wish you had someone to take your picture :)

Is Trisha presenting by any chance? Someone mentioned on PG that she is...but of course her site doesn't show that.

Producer J. said...

Good question Sean!

They usually come back after the last award their eligible for.

So if Keith or Kenny win Male Vocalist, they won't come back until after Entertainer.

Carrie and Brad are hosting, so they won't come back until the end either.

It's always slow at the beginning, and slammed at the end.

The only presenter NOT named is the "Special Guest" presenting the EOTY. I can't believe you'd believe a PG rumor. :-P

We have a wireless headset that allows us to hear the show if we chose, but it's hard when you're talking to the person at the mic.

I'll never forget being in this room the year MG won Duo... Kenny Rogers was at the mic, and we were all gasping at the surprise of MG taking vocal duo.

Not really believing it...but it's Trisha--so I have to hope! :P

I LOVE Brad's tshirt.

Rhonda Adkins (Trace's wife) has copied my hairstyle tonight.

Producer J. said...

Jona, no one in the room would know him, lol. Just 2 Special Guests on the rundown... 1 with B&D (probably Reba) and 1 presenting EOTY (probably Shania.)

This is great knowing what to expect. Thanks for the updates J!

No awards but a rock solid performance by Trace. Seems his peers liked it too with the standing ovation!

You know Rhonda Adkins has good taste if she's copying you!! You're both adorable!
