Nobody is going to tell me they had the best album of this past year. It was all political. What BS was that?

The kind of BS that makes you want to send the alarm clock flying across the room.

A pure political statement. Their album and tour did poorly (compared to their previous showings). It's libs propping up libs. Nashville didn't give them this award, Hollyweird did. They're not country anymore, as they've stated themselves.

TVJunkie101 · 02-12-2007, 02:07 PM

Meh.

They're talented and that's what matters.

Did I like what they did? Nope. Do I enjoy their music? Yep.

AKA · 02-12-2007, 02:20 PM

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but maybe they won because the album was good (I haven't heard it, so I can't comment).

I'm glad they won and stuck to their guns! The Country world doesn't need them, anymore if they continue to feel that way.* The Pop, Rock world (and maybe R&B) will welcome the Chicks with open arms.

It's only those factions who strongly support the war don't want to have anything to do with The Chicks, whatsoever.

A large majority who are dead-set against this war, will now support The Chicks any way they can, whether they're Country fans or not.

I live in the Los Angeles area and have two Country radio stations KKGO-AM (1260) and AM (540) (simulcast) from San Diego/Tijuana and I'm sure the owner of those stations wouldn't mind putting any of the Dixie Chick's songs on the playlists.

KKGO-AM website:

The Dixie Chicks will become more successful in the Pop/Rock genre and album sales will skyrocket. Watch. Had the Dixie Chicks been around in the '60s, they would've done the same thing by speaking out against the Vietnam war.

If this were the case, I think their album sales would have been much higher, and their tour much more attended. Winning Grammys isn't going to automatically give them all this new support, and skyrocket their album sales. Yeah, the album will probably sell pretty well in the next week or so, due to the Grammys, but it more than likely will not produce any long-term effects.

LOL, plain and simple, i'm tired of the 'conspiracy theory' junk. They won fair and square. What they said was a few years ago, get over it. It's the grammys, not I love Bush awards.

Bobby F. · 02-12-2007, 04:51 PM

Hmmm. If that album was so great I wonder how come they didn't win any awards or even get nominated for any awards at the last Country Music Awards show.

No matter how much they say they don't want to be country anymore that's how they are still recoginized. Pure Hollywood politics.

Aaaaah, but it isn't the I love Bush awards, it is the I HATE Bush awards and the Dixie Chicks were rewarded for speaking up by Hollywood standards.

At two million in sales, considering their latest album sold 10 million less than their last one and they had to cancel half their tour (no takers), I'm going out on a limb here and say this was a political deal. The chickadees are the biggest whiners going and even criticized their own fanbase. The libbers can give them all the awards in the world. Doesn't change the fact that their country fanbase is gone. They blew it, grammys or not.
