The top 7 finalists opened the show with a group performance of Somebody to Love by Queen. We also got a performance from Season 9 Miss American Idol finalist, Casey James. He has been doing very well all year, especially on the CMT Hot 20 countdown. His video for Cryin On A Suitcase has been on the chart for weeks. Tonight he sang his latest single, The Good Life.
But the real exciting return came from the Supreme Miss American Idol, Season 4 winner, Carrie Underwood. She has been having an amazing year having just won her 6th Grammy. This time it was for Best Country Solo Performance for her outstanding song Blown Away. This weekend she is up for some more awards at the Academy of Country Music Awards, so she should be adding more to her collection. Tonight she performed the fourth single from her platinum album Blown Away. It's called See You Again and she delivered her usual flawless vocals while looking absolutely stunning in a long peach colored gown.
The results for the night found Angie Miller, Lazaro Arbos and Kree Harrison as the top three vote getters, while Janelle Arthur, Amber Holcomb and Burnell Taylor were in the bottom. While I only got one of my predictions correct this week, I am glad that it was Burnell finally needing to sing for his life. The judges decided not to use their save, so we can rejoice that he is gone, gone, gone.

Carrie wins Video of the Year!
The 2012 CMT Video Music Awards was a very fun night of great music and it was a virtual who's who of Miss American Idol winners and finalists.
Things got off to a great start when the Supreme Miss American Idol, Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood walked away with the first award of the night. She won the CMT Collaborative Video of the Year along with Brad Paisley for their outstanding duet, Remind Me.
The next award then went to another Miss American Idol winner. This time it was Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery nabbing the CMT Breakthrough Video of the Year for The Trouble With Girls. Scotty also got the chance to sing his latest single Water Tower Town.
The Season 10 Miss American Idol 1st Runner Up, Lauren Alaina, was also nominated for the CMT Breakthrough Video of the Year for her very fun hit Georgia Peaches, but it seems like she is destined to finish behind Scotty when they go up against each other. In addition to taking the stage to perform Georgia Peaches, Lauren also provided commentary throughout the show regarding the Twitter activity of the fans favorite artists. It was no surprise that Carrie Underwood was at the top of the trending artists.
Season 9 Miss American Idol finalist Casey James was also on hand to perform his latest single and then the floodgates opened of Miss American Idol finalists and winners as presenters. Season 5 Miss American Idol finalist Kellie Pickler was in the house as a nominee for Female Video of the Year for Tough and she presented a CMT Buckle. The Season 6 Miss American Idol winner Jordin Sparks also graced the stage to present a CMT Buckle.
Then a pair of Season 11 Miss American Idol finalists, Skylar Laine and Colton Dixon, got one of the most prestigious honors of the night when they had the privilege of introducing the blockbuster, showstopping performance by Carrie Underwood. She exploded on stage singing the energetic jam Good Girl. She completely electrified the cheering crowd and the rousing number came to a powerful end as the arena was filled with golden glitter falling from the rafters.
Shortly after the amazing performance of Good Girl, the Supreme Miss American Idol's name was called to the stage to accept the biggest award of the night. Carrie Underwood and Good Girl won the CMT Buckle for the 2012 VIDEO OF THE YEAR!
