The Dixie Chicks win was purely political

[p0ink]

the only reason they won album of the year was because they chose to be so vehemently anti-bush.

i hate justin timberlake as much as i hate the dixie chicks, but he deserved to win.

anyone who disagrees needs to explain why the #9 selling album of 2006 beat the #1 (timberlake)-#8 selling albums of 2006 to win best album.

just because timberlake sold more albums doesnt mean he is better, the dixie chicks have alot more talent that can transfer out of a studio

oak, you must be high.

they were ranked 9th...so that means they beat out 8 other artists who were more popular, sold more albums, and sold more tickets.

the dixie chicks had to cancel many shows in the US, because of lack of ticket sales.

Man, the US puts out some pathetic music.

Yea, forgot about the shows they had to cancel. How the fuck are you going to win 5 grammys if you have to cancel multiple shows??? Gee, I know: politics.
