CMT MUSIC AWARDS 2016 PERFORMANCES
Keith Urban opened the
night with his "RIPCORD TOUR" buddies Brett Eldredge and Maren Morris backing
him up on "Wasted Time."
Blake Shelton and The Oak Ridge Boys collaboratedg on "Doin' It To Country
Songs" from Shelton's latest album and the OAKS classic
"Elvira;"
MASHVILLE - Singers and musicians have to know they’re
connecting with their peers when they look into the audience and see Keith
Urban singing along with them, especially on a song that was released less than
two weeks ago. That was the scenario Wednesday night June 8,2016 at the CMT
Music Awards when Dierks Bentley and
singer-songwriter Elle King teamed
up for “Different for Girls,” a track from his new album, BLACK.
With King singing and playing banjo, the thought-provoking
lyrics provide a commentary on some of the basic differences between the sexes.
Carrie Underwood showed the audience and viewers exactly
why she took home the trophy for Performance of the Year.
The country artist absolutely floored her fellow musicians,
like Keith Urban and Luke Bryan, with a rendition of “Church Bells”. Both guys
gave her a standing O for her powerful pipes, along with Underwood's hubby,
Mike Fisher.
The singer's performance included a mysterious man plucking
a banjo hidden in the shadows and crescendo with a gospel choir.
Cassadee
Pope and
British vocalist Leona Lewis provided the
additional vocal power when Pitbull performed “Messin’ Around” on the
2016 CMT Music Awards. Those who gravitate toward country radio may not be
aware of Pitbull’s hit which features Enrique Iglesias, but the musical
signatures from REO Speedwagon‘s AOR hit “Take It on the Run” have a universal
connection that transcend musical genres.
Cam became the
sixth member of Fifth
Harmony during one of the Wednesday night
highlights. Cam, who came to prominence in country music with the hit “Burning
House,” had a huge grin on her face when the harmonious voices kicked in during
her performance of “Mayday.” She effortlessly segued into the vocal group when the
music moved to Fifth Harmony’s current pop hit, “Work From Home”
Cam & Fifth Harmony, "Mayday/Work From Home"
LIVE at 2016 CMT Music Awards: Full Performance:
An Elvis Presley hit from 1956 proved to be a perfect choice for Billy Ray Cyrus‘ collaboration with Cheap Trick.
As Wednesday night’s (June 8) first performance on the
Broadway stage in downtown Nashville, it was appropriate that Cyrus portrayed
an Elvis impersonator on CMT’s new series, STILL
THE KING, and that Cheap Trick had a Top 10 hit with “Don’t Be Cruel” in
1988. Between Cyrus’ onstage swagger and Cheap Trick’s usual sledgehammer
performance of their anthem, “Surrender,” it got the crowd into a festive mood
as night fell in Music City.

2016 CMT Music Awards)
