Lambert, Jewel rock the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards
There was nothing on TV tonight, so I watched the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards. Miranda Lambert racked up the awards, while husband Blake Shelton and Entertainer of the Year winner Luke Bryan took care of the hosting duties.
The award show had lots of country love, of course, but it also had a slight touch of pop music. Nominee Kelly Clarkson sang “Don’t Rush,” while Stevie Wonder, John Mayer and Sheryl Crowe lend their voices to some collaborative performances. It was Jewel who delivered the night’s best vocal performance — her mash-up performance of “Hands” and “Fill a Heart” was poignant and vocally stunning.
