CMA Awards - IamGuruJay

Justin Timberlake was elected President of Pop about eight years ago. Apparently, he might be president forever. The popular singing statesman travels the globe representing Memphis, Tennessee.

You know Elvis Presley is connected to Memphis. Have you been to Graceland?

Are you watching the CMA Awards tonight? Timberlake will perform and it makes total sense. This year’s award show takes place inside Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Luke Bryan is also in the lineup. Plus, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley return to host.

I predict Justin Timberlake will steal the show though. Justin expresses deep feelings with his music. When you give blood, sweat, and tears to your craft people take time to notice.

In total, the musician has won 9 Grammys. Additionally, he’s received 4 Emmys. He could go all the way and win an Oscar.

His Saturday Night Live appearances were exceptional. This is coming from an SNL expert.

The Tennessee kid’s been around the block. Almost anyone can appreciate his songs because they’re universal. He keeps to a familiar theme. That’s not to say he isn’t creative.

Mirrors, Suit & Tie, and Sexy Back display his originality. Justin Timberlake can teach Nick Jonas a ton. Few people command their voices better than Timberlake.

His stage presence feels magical.

Will NSYNC reunite for good feelings? When you’re reunited it feels so good. Don’t you wish all bands stuck together for the long term?

Justin Timberlake outshines the brightest stars. Some of these new singers should shine his shoes. What is more, his star power goes beyond music. In movies and on TV, this entertainer performs to the peak.

I believe Justin Timberlake is this generation’s Frank Sinatra. While I like Michael Buble, he’s a spitting image of the legend. Give Justin high marks on style and substance. Shout out to music teachers.

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.
