Top 5 Country Artists

So, whilst on the internet being bored I got curious and decided to see what has been searched most on Google so far this week. I couldnt help but notice most of the searches were country music singers! I was confused then realized that the CMT awards were today haha. Since I have been listening to that kind of music lately and recently got myself some cowboy boots I figured I would highlight my favorite country singers! I know most of you probably dont like country music buuuut you should open your mind because its not as bad as its been made out to be. As long as its not the hardcore stuff about the guys horse dying, his girl leaving him or him getting so drunk he cant remember the next day I'm happy.

5. Luke Bryan
He was on The Celebrity Apprentice a couple seasons ago where Brett Michaels was giving him a makeover and such for his task. After that, he sorta dropped off the face of the earth. Well recently I found him again on iTunes and I am loving what he has released

                                                                             
4. Blake Shelton
You may know him as one of the judges on The Voice. Thats where I first heard of him anyway. So, I looked him up to see if he was any good and I actually like him!

3. Lady Antebellum
Pretty sure you all know who they are. I looove their music so much. I got their album for Christmas or something and I have really enjoyed it. The chemistry they have when they sing together is so amazing and the way their voices sound is absolutely breathtaking.

2. Brad Paisley
Basically, he tied for first with the actual first place one because I love his music like crazy. I cant remember who introduced me to his music but I love it. Has such a distinctive voice and when he sings ballads it just takes you to a whole other place and he tells a story with each song. Love him!

1. Kenny Chesney
Like I said, I had a hard time choosing between Brad Paisley and this guy but man do I love his music. I cant remember who intoduced me to him either but I am addicted to this mans voice. It just has that special quality to it that the music industry is losing. True talent is right here.

Well those are my top 5 country artists. I hope you arent disappointed that Taylor Swift didnt make it in here but lets face it, as great of a song writer as she is and as much as I love her music, when she sings in concert she cant stay on key and its ridiculous.

The music industry has gone so downhill lately that the only true music (no electronic stuff or auto tuning) left is pretty much country music. (And the good ol' 80's rock bands that still put stuff out. Ex: Journey) Its raw, its real and its not a freaking computer doing all the work.
