These Award Show Outfits Would Be Great as Halloween Costumes (That’s Bad)

I don’t like Country music, I just never have. I think it would also be fair to say that I don’t like most of the fashion that Country music stars wear to award shows.  But maybe I’ll give the music a chance someday. I always like to practice my singing-in-the-shower skills.

LeAnn Rimes. Flapper style meets Medieval? Even her fingernails and eyebrows look harsh and severe. Was she preparing for battle? Dresses that look like armor are probably not a wise choice. Unless you actually are going into battle.

Carrie Underwood. Bubble dresses are difficult to pull off. A one shouldered neckline is not going to work with them. Bubble dresses work best with spaghetti strap necklines - or basically anything that doesn’t make you look like you’re wearing a purple potato sack. Also, I absolutley hate her hair, specifically her bangs.

The Summer “Toyota Concert Series on TODAY” Schedule

The “Toyota Concert Series on TODAY” will be continuing the tradition of summer concerts on Friday’s. If you don’t know anything about this, then you must not be an early bird since this is the 13th year they’ve been doing this. Of course, I’m not an early bird so I am glad to see the performance dates and names released so I know if I should be setting my alarm early enough to factor in a song. Because of the Olympics that will be occurring this summer, the concert series is beginning a little earlier than normal. Fans of American Idol will be pleased as the woman who will be kicking things off is none other than judge Paula Abdul.

Ironically, the only performance that I really, really want to see is the one that’s still in the studio and will be on April 1st. It’s R.E.M! (I am, I am, I am Supermaaaan….) In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 / Accelerate

Something a little interesting to me is that Ashlee Simpson will be performing in the studio on April 18th, and she is slated to appear again in for the summer concert series on July 4th. I just want to know, does America really need that much Ashlee Simpson in their lives? (’Cause I don’t think I do.) Is Ashlee the singer who can best convey American feelings of pride on the 4th? *Shrug*

Other artists that will perform are Alanis Morisette, Coldplay (I love them but they’re so mellow it’d put me back to sleep), Miley Cyrus (little kids are up early, right?), and Sheryl Crow - whom Matt Lauer describes as a “TODAY Show favorite”. I sense a crush! (Oh c’mon, I’m just kidding. Unless I’m not because I’ve accidentally discovered a conspiracy!)

The time listed for these concerts is 7 a.m. but I’m pretty sure they go on later than that. But that’s why you have TiVo and all that, right? Man, I gotta invest in that!

A full list of names and dates is below the jump.
