i dont get it, miranda lambert won the female video of the year with "The House That Built Me" beating taylor swift's "Mine", but taylor won over miranda for Video of the Year. Isnt CMT stupid?


Does Bieber actually sell albums?

Thompson Square should;ve won Breakthrough video of the year, and Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson should've won Collaborative video of the year. Other than that, pretty happy with the winners.(:

WHERE DID REAL COUNTRY MUSIC GO!!!

Why should Bieber even get a CMT Award? He's not country!

Bieber killed the nite. He's not any way country whatsoever...he had no right to be there. I love Rascal Flatts....but with Bieber? Wow. He just killed a lot of their awesomeness. :/

Great show! So, so disappointed the Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson didn't win collaborative video of the year. Why Justin Bieber???!!! Rascal Flatts must think they need some help to start winning again??

Justin Bieber not only is not country but compared to his contenders can't even sing. Very disappointed in Rascal Flatts!
