A night of Idols at the CMA's

The Miss American Idols were out in full force at the 45th Annual Country Music Association Awards this year.

The Supreme Miss American Idol, Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood, dominated the night serving as the exceptional co-host. She was charming, professional, very funny and looked amazing for every introduction that she did. There were some great comedy moments as she shared the stage with co-host Brad Paisley including a sparring match with Miss Piggy. Through all of it, Carrie showed off her exquisite taste in 8 different ensambles ranging from pink and poofy to short and sparkly. She provided the best performance of the night in her duet with Brad when she took the stage in a lovely long gown with a slit up the side giving a glimpse of her sleek and sexy legs. Their song, Remind Me, is sure to be a nominee for the many award shows coming up for the year.

In a very misguided upset, Carrie did not win the award for Female Vocalist of the Year even though if you saw her raise the roof on "How Great Thou Art" with Vince Gill at the Academy of Country Music's "Girls' Night Out" special earlier this year, you know that there could really be no other choice.

Right after Carrie was done singing, the Season 10 Miss American Idol 1st Runner Up, Lauren Alaina, came out on stage to present an award and also to gush with glee about how fantastic Carrie sounded. And then the next performance after that was the Season 10 Miss American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery, singing another hit off of his recent #1 album Clear As Day.

Season 5 Miss American Idol contestant, Kellie Pickler, was also at the party to present an award. She was looking great as always in a glamorous long dress.

And finally, the Season 1 Miss American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, was not there to accept her very first CMA award for Musical Event of the Year for her duet with Jason Aldean, Don't You Wanna Stay.
