The mix of Taylor Swift and T-Pain’s performance of Thug Story at the opening of the CMT Music Awards was just incredible to watch. This was just so funny watching Taylor Swift try to rap. I have to admit that Taylor Swift looks really good dressed up like a little gangster girl. Awesome. Check out the video opening of the CMT awards show to see what I mean:

My favorite part is when Taylor Swift says “my extra small white tee.” Absolutely hilarious.

I must admit that i usually hate to watch the various specials about the awards shows. However, tonight I think that Katie Couric did a nice job with the special. Maybe the difference was the choice of stars she had on the show. Maybe it was Katie’s ability to be totally relaxed and natural with all of these stars. Whatever it was, I really enjoyed it.

Check out this video preview of the Katie Couric Grammy special to see what I mean:

I figured since I’m doing the So You Think You Can Dance Music and the Dancing with the Stars Music, I might as well branch out to another of my favorite shows Nashville Star music. So, I’m going to go back and list all the music from Nashville Star for all those Nashville star fans that love the music being sung. Later if I have time I might try to find a video of the actual performances so you can compare the music on iTunes vs. the performance on Nashville Star.
