I would've rather seen THIS than the lame-o ACM Awards...except for the parts where Jamey's going to win in all the categories he's nominated for, of course. And it's not like GAC and CMT are just brimming with programming material (unless you like re-runs of that Biggest Spoiled Brats Ever show), so why the heck WOULDN'T they televise it? Sometimes I just don't understand...
clip of Jamey and Kellie's performance on youtube. I think this is from 9/22/09. I am sure there are some others of Jamey doing Hank if we search. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkV-z69MLBA
I heard Jamey sang a duet with Kelli Pickler...A Dottie West song--I bet He sounded great!! Guess we have to wait till they release he footage...
If you read the above article closely, and check out the ACM site, you will see that this night was for "non-televised" awards. So I am guessing it won't be televised. I read a summary of the event on the ACM site and I am wondering, why the hell do they televise the show they do and not this event? Who is making the decisions?!?!?! You don't televise Hank, Merle, Kenny Rogers, etc.. and performances by Jamey, Vince Gill, John Anderson... but you televise groups like Rascal, Gloriana, Lady Ante... may gosh!!!
I agree...When and and where will this air????
Trying to find out when this show airs... Anyone got an idea> I sure dont want to miss it. thanks
Jamey doing Bocephus-- Wow, he rocks Hank jr. just like he rocks Waylon, Ray Price, Merle, and Kris, Jamey is the last link to real country music. Cant wait to see this show and Really cant wait to take my son to his first Jamey show in SC in Nov. Keep it up big Guy and don't sell out like all of these other "country artists" Do your own thing and your true fans will always show up to listen!
HEY JAMEY , YOU CAN BET I WILL BE WATCHING, LORD WILLING. CAN'T WAIT. I HOPE YOU SING DINOSAUR, I THINK YOU SING IT BETTER THAN HANK. YOU DID IT AT THE TEXAS FAIR AND IT WAS AWSOME. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR VOICE IT JUST MELTS ME. LOVE YA, LATONIA
I'm so excited I'm going to tell my friends to watch. I'll be on the edge of my seat taking in every minute of him.............!
Jamey singing Hank Jr. songs---he can sing it all--and I will be sure to see it in color!!
