Who Is Your Favorite Country Female Singer of 2009
After all of the success of Taylor Swift this year, we thought we should give you a chance to vote for your favorite Female Country Singer of 2009. There are a lot of choices, but it came down to these women.
You can choose any two of your favorite performers since after much consideration it became obvious that many will choose Taylor, and we want this poll to be more than a one-sided decision.
Jennifer Nettles had a great year with Sugarland, Carrie Underwood had another #1 song with Cowboy Casanova. Reba has a strong following, Miranda had another hit this year, and Leann Rimes had a somewhat controversial year, but also has her own loyal following and could not be left out.
So here you have six of the top female country performers of 2009. Go ahead and vote, or just comeback and keep checking out the results, maybe we will have to do one for the men when this one is done.
Please leave a comment if you think we missed someone……..
Lady Antebellum Flying High With Need You Now
As if being named the Vocal Group Of The Year and winning the Single Of The Year at the 43rd Annual Country Music Awards wasn’t enough, for the second staight week Lady Antebellum remains on top of the Country Music Charts. Their hit song “Need You Now” took the long and steady road to get to the top, and now has a hold on the No.1 spot.
Band members Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott formed the band in 2006 after they all had the same dream of making it in the country music scene and had made contact thru their MySpace pages.
This is the threesome’s second top country song of 2009, after “I Run To You” made it to No. 1 position after being released from their platinum selling debut album “Lady Antebellum“.
The second album from the band is not scheduled to be available to the public until January 26, 2010, and with there already being a number one hit on the new tracks from the country songwriters, you can expect there to be a huge demand.
Lady Antebellum will be taking a small break from touring until Feburary 2010 when the band will fire up the buses and making a large trek across the country that will include meet and greets with their fans.

Country Music Shines Through At The 2009 American Music Awards
After coming off her award as the Entertainer of the Year at the Country Music Awards, Taylor Swift has more awards to put into her trophy case after winning the top prize in the Artist of the Year category.
Taylor was also awarded the favorite female artist award for Country and Rock/Pop. The teen sensation also captured the top position for the favorite adult contemporary artist which is kind of a surprise, even though her hit single “White Horse” was a favorite among her older fans, this is usually given to the top selling performer outside of the normal pop music crowd.
Her Fearless album was voted favorite country album. Unfortunately the 19 year old country songwriter was in England getting ready for her performance at the sold out Wembley Stadium. Taylor was waiting for results of the awards show and was able to make live quick speeches as the night went along.
Keith Urban, performed his song “Kiss A Girl” and was named as the favorite male country artist, Carrie Underwood also performed her current hit “Cowboy Casanova” and was a crowd favorite.
Rascal Flatts won the favorite country band or duo award. The band thanked everyone after they took the stage for the fourth time in four years as the winner for this category.
Gloriana was named as the breakthrough artist of the year after all the critics assumed Lady Gaga would win.
This goes to show you the popularity of current group of top country artists, and the ability they have to crossover into the mainstream music award shows.

2009 Country Music Awards Show
What many country music fans consider to be the highlight of all of the award shows is finally here. On Wednesday November 11th the 2009 CMA Awards show will air on ABC Television and the best that country music can offer will be there.
Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood will be the Master of Ceremonies for the event, and of course they will both be performing. All of the top selling acts from this year will also be singing, and this includes Taylor Swift, Sugarland, Darius Rucker, Kenny Chesney and George Strait.
There will be other performances scheduled for the show and the CMA website has at least 20 live acts scheduled to sing, and they may add more, but to pull off that many songs will be a hard juggling act to pull off, and of course there will be the actual awards to present to the winners.
The CMA website has a cool interactive page where you can pick who you think will win each category, and then can send an email to your friends with your picks.
Last year Kenney Chesney won Entertainer Of The Year, but it may be tough to repeat for the country songwriter as he goes against teen sensation Taylor Swift, but you will have to watch to find out.
