So did they or didn’t they?
After Rascal Flatts performed at Sunday night’s ACM Awards, the word on the street was that they had lip synced their performance. Being one who has never been hugely against lip syncing, I didn’t even bother to take a second look at their performance video.
Well it turns out that the Flatts Boys aren’t even denying that they faked it and that they did it really, really badly.
One of the finest (and rather underappreciated) vocalists of our time is the ethereal Kelly Lang. As the offspring of Conway Twitty's influence and road manager, Velton Lang, the songbird first got her start at the tender age of 15 with the release of her first Billboard single "Lady, Lady," which catapulted the ingenue into the limelight. She went on to star on such TV features as Music City Tonight, with Crook & Chase, and Ralph Emery's Nashville Now (on TNN) as well as become a finalist on Ed McMahon's Star Search.
From there, she's released four studio albums, including the searing collection Iconic duets, alongside her husband and living legend TG Sheppard. With 21 No. 1 hits to his name, including "Last Cheaters Waltz," "I Love 'Em Everyone" and "Do You Wanna Go To Heaven," his markmanship and passion fueled a creative rennaissance for both artists–something that is rare these days. "TG and I are finally in a place in our lives that we have nothing to prove," Lang shares, quite frankly, with NashvilleGab, exclusively.
Sometimes the best part of an award show isn't what's happening on stage.
Like this awkward moment when Miranda Lambert tried to high-five George Strait after he won Entertainer of the Year at Sunday night's ACM Awards only to be left hanging.
Yeah, we've all had those awkward moments. And no, I don't think George was ignoring Miranda like some sites have said, I think he was just in the zone and not really paying attention.
You can check out the video here in case the GIF doesn't work for you.
In other Miranda Lambert news, the singer has released the tracklisting for her new album Platinum (out June 3).
Last night during the ACM's there was some major live tweeting happening. Fans, artists and writers took to twitter to let their opinions be known. The ACM's to a country music fan is kind of like The Superbowl to a football fan. It's a big night for us. However, Perez Hilton felt the need to be a sarcastic asshole via twitter.
Need a job? You might talk to Luke Bryan's people because I have a feeling they're going to have an opening for a merchandise person really, really soon.
