The Dixie Chicks win was purely political

[ole farte']

Yep, the left is so predictable

 

[crew9]

...and it's also politics as to why no radio station plays there songs, Bush fans don't buy their cds, as well as the red states.......

 

[alien amp pharm]

lol @ dixie chicks. Women would eat their shit thru a straw if given the chance. They make me want to vomit.

 

[Spanky11]

I'd hit it

 

[jestro]

exactly...so how does it win album of the year if not as many people like it?

purely political.

So they should just give it to the #1 selling album every year?

 

[heatherrae]

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.

It isn't based on album sales just like picture of the year isn't based on movie sales. they have been pretty low key this year, and plenty of people hate bush. They can't ALL win...LOL. That is just stupid.

you do have to be a bit skeptical about these broads winning.
in country circles they get no love, in pop circles they can't compete with beyonce and urban r&b.
sometimes i think you play devil's advocate on here, to hone your lawyer skillz

they have a huge fan base. You're nuts. LOL. Anyway, the winners are voted on by judges, not by sales. Musically, they are extremely talented. How many bands actually play MUSIC on INSTRUMENTS and can sing harmoney anymore? Anyway, if you tried to make everyone who hates Bush win a grammy, 85% of the American population would have one on their mantle right now...lol.

 

[jackangel]

why do you hate justin timberlake? not liking his music is one thing (although i have a couple of tracks on my ipod), but if it's more than that...why?

no...but skipping over 8 others is especially surprising.

once again, we are talking about a band that pissed off the majority of their a base, a band that a lot of country radio stations refused to play (a business decision, not censorship), a band that had to cancel a lot of concerts due to lack of ticket sales, etc.

it was also the band that got on the cover of time magazine for being anti-bush.
