The 48th annual Academy of Country Music awards was a night of hits and misses, stay tune to Country Music City Promotions for all the night's highlights and performances in the coming day and for the full list of winners not presented during the televised program.
The night's festivities include several performances, though some fell short of the most memorable one's most will talk about in years to come. Recieving a standing ovation for his "Like Jesus Does" performance Eric Church delivered with only his guitar and back round vocalist. The stripped down acoustic performance was shearly emotional yet entertaining for the viewing audience.
Though Blake Shelton served as co-host and performed in the opening number of the program with fellow co-host Luke Bryan, Sheryl Crow and Pistol Annies, it was however his unplugged acoustic version of his current single "Sure Be Cool If You Did" that certainly generated a memorable highlight of the night. Miranda Lambert's performance of "Mama's Broken Heart" was clearly an off the wall, full of angst moment, Lambert delivered the goods.
Tim McGraw brought to the stage his fellow peers Keith Urban and Taylor Swift for "Highway Don't Care", these vocals together are well in synced, matched for McGraw and Swift to Urban's musicality.
Brad Paisley and John Mayer is quite the pairing, yet tantilizing to the ears, their musicality on Paisley's newest single "Beat This Summer" had a laid back summer vibe. I'd say Brad Paisley fans were digging the performance.
The nights highlighted moment Garth Brooks and George Straight honoring Dick Clark, performing his #1 hit The Dance, Brooks brought such emotion and sincerity. Together performing "Cowboy Rides Away" Brooks and Straight sound matched as true icons of country music.
As if the highlights of the night would soon fade, not one bit, Jewel took to the stage to perform a medley of "Hands" and the Tori Kelly song "Fill A Heart" written for the Child Hunger program. Jewel's performance was simply breath taking, her piercing notes shine. As some performances lacked emotional connect they sure did pop for the younger fan bases among the crowd, and from the roaring of screams for Carrie Underwood, The Band Perry, Florida Georgia Line and Hunter Hayes I say they got what they wanted and more.
The most memorable award winning moment was in fact for Entertainer of The Year, the fan voted award went to Luke Bryan who was emotionally humbled, shed several tears before his acceptance speech, it was a well deserved win for Bryan.
The 48th annual Academy of Country Music Awards certainly gave audiences young and old alike a little everything for the fans.
