Well NRH, you have made it real hard to pick who to vote for. Goes to show there is a lot of real talented people with some really good songs out there! And your YouTube broadcast rocks! Great way to get the message out there.

YAY!! My dear friend Dianne made it in the FAVORITE female ADULT CONTEMPORARY ARTIST!!! WHOOT WHOOT!!!! Congratulations Dianne Meinke!!
THADEUS PROJECT is very deserving of an award. If you listen to their other music also, You will find it VERY SOOTHING . THE HURT is one of my favorites
Country has a lot of good contenders like Chuck Murphy, Joey Canyon and Eileen Carey. I really hope Eileen wins her category because I am getting just a little tired of Carrie Underwood at all these award shows. Take a break Carrie,
