For as much as some have talked about how there's no strength in the CMT bracket, I think that there's a ton of strength here highlighted by this 2 vs 7 match between Miranda Lambert and Kenny Chesney.
Miranda Lambert
As has been described in other brackets, Miranda Lambert is really a 1B seed not a 2 seed. Her accomplishments are astonishing with 45 major awards including winning the Academy of Country Music Award for Best Female Artist every year since 2009. With a career with still a lot of runway to come, where Miranda Lambert will ultimately rank in the pantheon of country music artists is surely to be on the short list. One thing is for sure, her combination of song-writing and musicianship is going to continue to make her a darling of the "smart" crowd.

Kenny Chesney
In some ways, Kenny Chesney is the poster boy for this idea of "pop country" that the old time country people don't like. They claim that the songs don't have much behind them. That it's a sell out. But on the other hand, the numbers (and $$$) don't lie. While Chesney has a very respectable 17 major awards on the list, there are others that didn't make the list that have comparable numbers. It's not the 29 #1 songs that gets him on the list. It's not the fact that he's got his own channel on Sirius/XM. But it's all of the above combined with the fact that he earns an estimated $40M a year because his tours are not only at, or near the top, of just Country Music each year … but at the top of all of music. Love him or hate him, it's impossible to get Kenny Chesney and his influence on Country Music out of the consciousness and as the $$$ on the scoreboard says, he's done quite well for himself.

Tim McGraw better than both.

Kenny ChesneyMusic close to equal. But I’ve seen both live: Chesney is awesome, and Lambert not so much.

Miranda LambertI don't understand what is happening. But, this is more of a vote again Kenny than anything else. He's always struck me a douchey, country frat bro due.

Now, meet me at the 7-11 on Aurora in the U-District sans pants and I'll show you what going Greek really means.

You don't want to take a right hook from long armed Yella. Hopefully, this would keep the throbber at bay.PurpleThrobber said:

Kenny ChesneyI expect this one to be a polarizing vote

Miranda LambertNice tits, Great ass vs. an overrated bald dork. It was tough.

Kenny Chesney should be in prison for killing country music for good.

Miranda LambertML started super hot, then got fat, then hot again. Also had some songs where she was a bad ass bitch you shouldn’t fuck with. KC has songs that are great at a party. Just good background noise you don’t have to listen too to enjoy. Also married what’s her face for a day. Literally a day before she said nope. Annulment. Chose ML because she’s crazy and would be great in bed.
