Winners of the 2014 CMA Awards were announced tonight (Nov. 5) on ABC. BWW is updating live!

'The 48th Annual CMA Awards' will present Country's cutting edge with performances by Eric Church, Florida Georgia Line, and Kacey Musgraves live, TONIGHT, NOVEMBER 5 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET) from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on the ABC Television Network.

60 MINUTES drew nearly 18 million viewers Sunday and was the week's #1 non-sports program. The audience of 17.8 million viewers landed 60 MINUTES at #3 for the week among all programs – the third time the CBS News magazine has made Nielsen's Top 10 list in five weeks.

We are halfway through the Taylor Swift experiment on THE VOICE, and the new queen of New York has honestly been killing it. From vocal arrangement to on-stage swagger, T-Swizzle has demonstrated the insight and attention to detail that it takes to make it as a pro in that business.

"The 48th Annual CMA Awards" is living up to its reputation as Country Music's Biggest Night with the addition of the Doobie Brothers, Hunter Hayes, Jennifer Nettles, Michael McDonald, Thomas Rhett, and Cole Swindell to the performance lineup.

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store will release the latest project in their exclusive music program, country music singer Neal McCoy's Pride: A Tribute to Charley Pride: Deluxe Edition on Nov. 3.

Ok, I admit, I was fairly skeptical about the reigning princess of country pop music, Taylor Swift being the Advisor for every competitor in the Knockout Rounds on THE VOICE. However, after Night One, I am going to stop drinking so much Haterade, and give the girl a chance.

All right, after two weeks, the Battle Rounds are finally over on THE VOICE, now we can get to the real competition... wait, what? There is still a whole other round before America gets to vote? No wonder I always lose interest in this show after the Blinds, it takes a year and a half just to get to the actual voting rounds. That being typed, at least now the artists get to pick their own songs.

We've been through 18 Battles so far on Season Seven of THE VOICE, which means tonight we have just six performances left in this round of the competition. If last week is any indication as to how this will play out, we will see three performances, and the other three will relegated to highlight clips.

We are halfway through THE VOICE's Season 7 Battle Rounds, and I honestly couldn't tell you a single person who has won so far. Though there have been many memorable moments, the majority of them have involved the superstar coaches. However, tonight, I think that is going to change. In a performance preview video Team Pharrell beltresses DaNica Shirey and Toia Jones absolutely destroy Beyonce's 'Halo' in every possible good way. I have barely had a goosebump all season, let alone the full-body bumps that this performance gave me. Check it out for yourself below.

NBC will rebroadcast Barbra Streisand's hour-long appearance on THE TONIGHT SHOW tonight, October 21st.

"The 48th Annual CMA Awards" will present genre crossing duet performances by Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor, who will perform with Little Big Town and Miranda Lambert respectively. "Pretty Little Liars" actress and DMG Nashville recording artist Lucy Hale will be joining the evening as a presenter, live, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET) from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on the ABC Television Network.

A Life of Love and a Love of Art: An Evening with Ryan Neal Green, Oct. 24 at 7:00pm at Duplex Cabaret Theatre, 61 Christopher St New York, NY 10014. A night of music inspired by extraordinary quotes written by everyday people.

Country star Trace Adkins will hit the road on November 14th for The Christmas Show 2014 Tour, continuing the holiday tradition he started last year with this reverent theatrical and musical production for the whole family. Fans can also bring The Christmas Show home with the "The Christmas Show" DVD available now.

Pharrell Williams, who is receiving sensational reviews in his inaugural season of 'The Voice,' will be returning to the eighth cycle of NBC's Emmy Award-winning series with fellow coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Christina Aguilera, as previously announced. The eighth cycle will begin in early 2015.

Well, tonight is the night when I generally begin to lose interest in NBC's juggernaut singing competition THE VOICE. As we transition from the ever compelling Blind Auditions to the generally disappointing Battle Rounds, it always annoys me that so much time and attention is focused on the coaches and the guest mentors. Yes, I love the fact that the singers are getting expert tutelage, but the show's attention should be, you know, on the contestants. While this is the only area where THE VOICE doesn't rise to the level of AMERICAN IDOL, for me, it has often been a deal breaker. I never feel the connection to THE VOICE contestants that I do to those on IDOL. Hopefully now that I am reviewing every single performance, I will actually get invested in some of the singers.
