I know it's just a prediction but it is from USA Today:
Album

5th Gear, Brad Paisley

It Just Comes Natural, George Strait

Long Trip Alone, Dierks Bentley

Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing, Keith Urban

These Days, Vince Gill

Should/will win:These Days. This four-disc masterwork propelled Gill into the Country Hall of Fame this year. How does it not win?

Makes me sick

I'm really disappointed that Vince didn't get the award. He is such a phenomenal musician--I'm with USA Today--he really deserved it!

(I've been a fan of Vince for years, but just signed up because I had to voice my opinion--and my disappointment.)

It was really disappointing. But after George Strait was a performer, and not Vince, I had a feeling George would be the winner. I wonder how political these awards are? Vince and George are both on MCA labels.

It's still hard to believe George S. won over Vince since Vince wrote and produced his 4 disc album. It's a great album and even though radio has ignored it, the record sales and reviews have been great.

Maybe the grammy's will recognize Vince's album as a winner like someone else stated in another post.

The CMA show has changed so much in the last few years. Sure miss all those wonderful CMAs in the 90s.

The CMA'S and ACM'S have always been about sales and airplay more than creativity.It's who's hot today .

Aacck.. here I go again, all steamed up. I can't stand it!!!!
