I did not realize that Carrie Underwood was such a big star. Country Music Television (CMT) will become 'Carrie Music Television' today when it plays her new music video for six hours straight. That's six hours of one video, over and over, from 6 o'clock this morning to noon. CMT estimates it will air 66 times in those six hours.Carrie's new video is for her song, So Small, from her upcoming new album called Carnival Ride. If you miss the video, it'll also be for sale on iTunes today.
This seems a little ... over the top. I'm confused about why CMT--or any network--would play the same 3-minute video over and over for so many hours. I imagine that people will check in to watch it once or twice, but won't six hours of the same video also drive viewers away? Unless CMT doesn't have any viewers.

I'd be happy watching Carrie paint her toenails on TV for six hours.

I saw it this morning, already annoyed seeing it twice in a row. I usually watch CMT while I get ready for school, but not when it is the SAME thing OVER and OVER. Carrie Underwood is pretty and a good singer, but not that great. Give me some Brooks and Dunn or Reba or Alan Jackson and I would be happy to see their videos over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over etc...

So, did CMT just fire their programming director or . . . ?

Well, this surprisingly isn't a new low for CMT, who now airs random movies, old TV shows, and reality shows that have absolutely nothing to do with country music. I don't know what the hell is wrong with Viacom, but they're ruined three networks now. I'm sure it won't be long before they ruin MHD.

Who is the guy in the video? He looks familiar but I can't think of his name.

Leg warmers, high heels and metallic hot pants. She needs to be on a What Not to Wear marathon.

The "guy in the video" is Christian Kane, who in addition to having played Wolfram & Hart attorney Lindsey McDonald on "Angel" and Jennifer Finnegan's husband on "Close to Home", fronts a damn good Outlaw Country band called KANE. And Christian can sing!
You can heard KANE on MySpace at:

I think they tried to include all possible male sex fetishes in one outfit. Well at least the ones they could put on tv.
