ACM Awards Carrie Underwood Celebrity Columbia Nashville Country music Entertainment Grammys Kelly Clarkson Maren Morris Music Music Video My Church song Singers Texas The Bones song

The Celebrated Country Star Maren Morris Is Underrated

    


    Do you watch award shows like me? The 2020 award show season has been exciting so far. Since March, they have hosted award shows virtually. Music videos, along with concerts and other entertainment venues, have been postponed. Producers must be creative about how they deliver to their audiences. Recently, I watched the ACM awards and was impressed by Maren Morris. She sang The Bones, and I felt vibrations in my bones from the song. She deserves more credit. Now is her moment. I expect the singer to win a Grammy next year for the Bones. 

    Did you know she won a Grammy for her song My Church? I don’t believe I’m far off; Maren Morris will win again. The country songstress hasn’t reached peak potential yet. She could dominate music for at least another five years. Incredibly, she’s only been in showbiz since 2005. She only signed with Columbia Nashville five years ago, which was a bold move. Already, she’s had an impressive career. The Arlington, Texas native is known for her southern charm and grace. She wrote the Kelly Clarkson song, Second Wind, ten years ago.

    The new mother is an old soul. Her style compares to Miranda Lambert. Her vocals and guitar skills are on par with the best. What are your favorite songs by the singer? Did you know she is married to Ryan Hurd?

    Why is Morris so celebrated and yet so underrated? The singer never competed on American Idol or the Voice like Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, and others; so, her fan base grew more organically. She has a large platform. Maybe, her outreach is not as massive as it could be, but it is compact. She has loyal fans not only in the United States but across the globe. This celebrity put skin in the game, and her hard work paid dividends. Her career is the perfect model for aspiring country music artists.

Kelly Clarkson Vs. Carrie Underwood

Kelly Clarkson Vs. Carrie Underwood 

Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are making a comeback around the same time. Clarkson started a tradition where she sings Tinder profiles on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Carrie Underwood is still a perfect 10 after her infamous face accident. The former American Idols are the TV show’s most famous singers for a major reason.

Without question, the names Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood will go down in music history. Clarkson and Underwood are a part of the fabric of American popular culture. Plus, who can stop listening to their music?

Carrie and Kelly can sing with the best, but who’s better? Is Carrie a better singer because she dominates her Country genre? Or is Kelly Clarkson a better entertainer because she concentrates on Pop, a more competitive field in a crowded arena?

It’s easy to say one is better than the other, but it’s harder to prove. I feel in my gut that Kelly Clarkson is the one I want to sing when it counts. However, Carrie Underwood cuts sharper records in the studio booth.

Kelly Clarkson, 36, was born and raised in Texas. That can only mean one thing. She has one of the biggest hearts. With heart, comes soul.

Carrie Underwood, 35, was born in Oklahoma. She grew up listening to country legends like Dolly Parton. Nowadays, she’s influenced country music artists in her own right. In my eyes, she’s a brighter star than Miranda Lambert, who helps define modern day country music.

Overall, Carrie has had a more financially successful career than Kelly. However, the major difference is the Texas songstress has yet to reach the peak. Kelly Clarkson is one hit shy away from greatness.

Clarkson conquers the microphone, but Underwood’s voice is too great to ignore. Maybe, Carrie Underwood’s vocal chords are superior to Kelly Clarkson’s chops. But deep down where it matters, the diaphragm, Kelly has the voice. That’s why she is a coach on the Voice.

It’s up to the fans to decide. Who is better between Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood? I think I’ve answered the question. Your mind is made up on Carrie, but your gut yelps Kelly.

Sam Hunt is scheduled to perform at the CMA Fest on Wednesday. Maybe, after reading this blog post you will tune into the event to see him. It all starts tomorrow at 8 pm on ABC. The biggest names will perform from Blake Shelton to Luke Bryan, and Carrie Underwood. I know people who are watching strictly because of Sam Hunt’s appearance though. The celebrity is having a great year.

Sam Hunt is down to earth and out of this world. His music is undeniably great. Greatness recognizes greatness. I’m interested in seeing what’s next in store for Sam Hunt. The 15 in a 30 Tour is going viral on Instagram and Twitter. Hunt’s music doesn’t appear to be slowing down; he’s going full speed ahead. I look forward to his future albums, singles, and concerts. It would be nice to see him live in concert.

I know Sam Hunt will give a phenomenal performance. The 32 year old singer originates out of Nashville, Tennessee. So, the Country singer will be right at home. He can kick off his boots and make himself comfortable. I expect the Body Like a Back Road singer to throw a few curveballs and sliders here and there. It should be fun time because of a sexy crowd. Country music lovers are some of the best fans in the world. A Country Star is only as good as his fans. What is Sam Hunt without Hunters?

I consider Take Your Time to be a classic. Did you know Take Your Time went Platinum 4 times? Body Like a Back Road went Platinum 3 times already. It’s only a matter of time before Sam Hunt wins a Grammys. There’s a Grammy with his name on it. What do you think is the best Sam Hunt song?

In a nutshell, Sam Hunt will give a phenomenal performance because he is phenomenal.

Country music fans were treated to awesomeness in 2016. This year couldn’t have been better for country. There were literally dozens of great releases. What beats Blake Shelton’s She’s Got A Way With Words? Keep reading and find out. In this edition, I will name the top 5 country music songs of 2016. Without further ado, let’s start the countdown.

5. Setting the World on Fire By: Kenny Chesney Featuring Pink

Can Kenny Chesney make a hit or what? The man never swings at balls. What is more, he hits homeruns on music’s diamond. Setting the World on Fire starts the countdown because it’s my theme music. When you don’t know what to do, set the world on fire. Find someone special to do it with and you’re all set. Chesney smartly picked Pink to feature. Who are you picking?

4. Dirty Laundry By: Carrie Underwood

The perfect 10 singerdoesn’t mind doing dirty laundry. She’ll just have to hang you out to dry. Dirty Laundry is my favorite 2016 single by Carrie Underwood. She sings with a lot of passion.

Don’t you love Carrie? She knows how to please fans. Her vocals are on another scale. I encourage you to listen to Dirty Laundry.

3. May We All By: Florida Georgia Line Featuring Tim McGraw

Florida Georgia Line is making waves in country music. They understand their fans and vice versa. Teaming up with Tim McGraw was an intelligent move. Moreover, May We All contains a strong message. You see life is a race and sometimes you got to pull your foot off the gas and put it on the break. I can’t think of many more 2016 songs as awesome as May We All.

2. She’s Got A Way With Words By: Blake Shelton

2nd on my list is She’s Got A Way With Words By: Blake Shelton. The Voice coach has trained his voice to reach higher degrees. There’s something chilly and hot about She’s Got A Way With Words. This could have easily been the number one song. Blake belts out this ballad with fire on his tongue. You’d think he were a dragon.

1. Middle of A Memory By: Cole Swindell

The number one country song of 2016 is Cole Swindell’s Middle of A Memory. I believe this is Cole Swindell at his absolute best. Even William Shakespeare couldn’t have written more eloquent lyrics. Plus, the instrumental tells a story of its own. If you have ever been in love, you want to play Middle of a Memory right now.

This is it for the Top 5 country music songs of 2016. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed.

Why We Want Norah Jones

Don’t know why we want Norah Jones? I’ll tell you. We want her for a host of reasons. We want Norah Jones for bragging rights.
Who sings sweeter than the sweetest? Can you keep up with Jones’ sound? The musician can sing in multiple genres. Jazz and Country are her specialties.
Nothing beats her delicate touch. You’ll fall in love with Norah’s pitch. Also, she approaches music with gratitude and respect. It is a privilege to watch this songstress in action.
Listening to Norah Jones defuses stressful days. Moreover, she adds pleasure to many enjoyable moments. Amazing is the best adjective to describe this woman’s work. Shout out to Kate Bush and Maxwell.
Did you know Billboard named Norah Jones Jazz Musician of the decade? This means she bested Kenny G. Could it be that Jones’ voice is a saxophone? 
Imagine listening to Chasing Pirates when sailing on a ship. Get lost in the lyrics of Come Away With Me. Throughout her career she’s made the most out of her talent. She never neglected her gifts. Plus, she paid her dues.
Maybe, Miranda Lambert and Jones can get together.
If Miles Davis was the common denominator, then Norah is the common numerator. Simply put, she’s got our number. The celebrity compares favorably to yoga instructors when it comes to flexibility. Others could learn from this special music artist.
Her concerts frequently sell out because the Texas Longhorn is a rare breed. She mixes ingredients better than Samantha stirs stew on Bewitched. Yet, Norah Jones seems pure.
She insists on opening doors rather than closing them. The celebrity can change on command. We value adaptability in entertainers. Who else can cut a song with Carrie Underwood and Herbie Hancock?
In a nutshell, she gives us everything. That’s why we want Norah Jones.

What Is Country Music Without Miranda Lambert?

BY: GURU JAY

What is country music without Miranda Lambert? Her best is yet to come. Miranda Lambert could become the next Reba McEntire or Dolly Parton. If she smartly markets her name and creates a valuable brand, she’ll have unlimited earning potential.
They say all things from Texas come in big packages. No wonder Miranda was born there. She has the biggest chops outside Oklahoma.
Back in 2003 she became a finalist on Nashville Star. 2 years later she debuted her first album entitled Kerosene. Soon after blazing country trails she set the world on fire.
Today, the country singer’s reach isn’t constrained by geography. Miranda Lambert has demonstrated she is the cream of the crop. She has proven her dynamic ability to consistently generate hits. I love listening to Lambert sing.

Her latest album, Platinum, showcases a wonderful exhibit of her talents. She is a skilled music artist driven by passion. Miranda Lambert is excited to tell a story with her carefully crafted lyrics.
Miranda’s rank falls in between Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson. If Carrie is a 10, Miranda is an 8 or 9, and Jessica is a solid 7 as far as music is concerned. Now, as far as attractiveness all 3 blondes are 10s.
Although Miranda Lambert’s birth records say she’s 32 years old, she could pass for 25. As you can see I am great with numbers. And Miranda produces them in the form of record sales, concert tickets, and social media. Amassing 8.5 million Facebook likes like Miranda Lambert is an impressive feat.

Like George Benson, Miranda Lambert will make it on Broadway ‘cause she can play this here guitar. The House That Built Mesongstress is a homegrown sensation. Country music isn’t the same without one of her biggest stars blessing the microphone.
Miranda’s mission is to serve mankind with her offerings. Her image is worth a king’s ransom. That’s why she graces the covers of magazines for an exorbitant fee. Most say she’s worth every penny.
What is more, Miranda means the world to country music.

Why Shania Twain Is Still Phenomenal

BY: GURU JAY


The next generation of music all stars is stepping up to the plate. There should be a music World Series. Can you picture veteran Shania Twain giving commentary on her pastime?
Shania laid the tracks down for Taylor Swift to crossover. With a name like Twain you can’t write lame lyrics. That’s why “you’re still the one,” Shania!
Previously, I published an in-depth piece on Celine Dion. People like comparing and contrasting Twain and Dion. I may write a Vs. article featuring the fellow Canadians later.


Right now, it is Shania Twain’s time to shine.

She recently wrapped up her Rock This Country tour in spectacular fashion. This expert performer is always superb and never tense.
Isn’t Shania Twain still phenomenal? Can you guess her age? I’m convinced Shania, Cameron Diaz, and Jennifer Lopez discovered the Fountain of Youth and kept it secret.
Did you know that Shania Twain is the best selling female act in history? Her Come On Over album sold over 40 million copies. How much more commercially successful can you get?

There is a genuine feel to the Shania Twain listening experience. How often have we heard From This Moment On at high school graduations? Her music connects with us at every stage of life. It would be a dream come true if Shania sings at my wedding.
The number of great entertainers originating out of Canada is surprising. It’s an impressive list including Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Michael J. Fox, The Weeknd, Jim Carrey and more. Canada gives birth to several of the world’s most beloved entertainers.
The CMA Awards take place on November 4. Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood will host. Both artists have expressed their admiration of Twain.

Whether she is performing or signing autographs (or both simultaneously), Shania Twain is still phenomenal.
