But anyway, congrats to Jason and Kelly on the 2 nominations! How do their chances stand up against the other nominees? I don't recognize most of them.

DYWS is the most downloaded country collaboration in digital history (almost 2 million). Spent 3 weeks at #1, crossed over to several other formats, was the #1 video of 2011 on CMT (country's MTV), won a CMA for Musical Event and was nominated for Single, nominated for a Grammy, high profile performances like Idol, Ellen, and CMA Fest. I think it has the hype and the success for it to win Vocal Event. Since Brad has 2 songs in Vocal Event, I think that might split his votes. "You and Tequila" has been getting a lot of love too though so they might give a good fight.
"Red Solo Cup" was featured on Glee and it's Toby Keith, he's usually a favorite. "Crazy Girl"
did well too. I still think DYWS is the front runner because it dominated more during the DEC. 1 - NOV. 30 timeline. We'll see on April 1st. ALSO, I do think Kelly will be there. Blake and Reba are the hosts. It takes place in Las Vegas, NV the day before Kelly has a show in Reno, NV (just a 3 hour flight away), and she doesn't have a show on April 1st or 2nd. Sounds like she'll be there
