A man who stands up for what he believes. Nothing but respect.
Hello there Beth nice meeting you here
Totally agree
Agree. Me too
And he's not afraid of getting crap for his beliefs in traditional values and music
hip hop awards
Love to see Alan Jackson invited to perform at Beyonce and Jay Z 's music awards.
Alan Jackson is a Superhero. I quit watching the CMA 's years ago and I was unaware of his actions. I support him 100%.
I agree. Me too. I'm a huge Alan Jackson fan.
i have not watched the cma's for many years, ever since the dixie chicks, oh thats right they sold out to the woke people and changed their name to the chicks. no balls, no backbone, no common sense, and once all of the rap country shit hit. i used to watch them every year, but will never again. i do not watch any of the music award shows any longer. got all about being black and and pretty much black only. no balls, no back bone. i guess people liked watching a bunch of black men up on stage grabbing their crotch and just mostly being ignorant. i have no problem with black singers and players. i love all of the old motown stuff. real talent and good music. who wants to hear about rich black people complaining about being oppressed and killing cops.
I totally agreed with Alan Jackson and his walking out ... To Hell with the Dixie Chicks... I don't need em!!
@@justme-re4jz bro you are smart as hell just took the words right outta my mouth
@@vickiegamble497 Beyonce!! She shouldn't be there...
Way to go Alan. Country music is the last thing that speaks America. We can't let it fade away. Glad we have Country Cast as a voice.
Settle down boomer.
Way too go Alan Jackson
@@OldManTomJulio , did a Boomer steal your girlfriend or accidentally kill your cat? Why all this hate on Boomer's? We thought you were the tolerant one's? Guess not. I stand with AJ. The new country music sucks!
@Remington597man lol. I challenge you to say that to a Boomer's face. But we all know most of you that say that phrase, are too cowardly to do so.
It's a conspiracy, right? Lol
I admire Alan Jackson more than ever and that is saying a lot and have great respect for being the person he is. I love you Alan Jackson and you are the greatest Country Music singer ever , I love all your music .
Hello 👋 Joyce. How are you doing ? Hope are you fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from. You seem like a real country girl
Yay, good for Alan Jackson.... he's a man who stands up for his convictions and traditional country music and it's roots! I'm an AJ fan and always will be!
If you want to know what happened to country music listen to the song Murder on Music Row by George Strait and Alan Jackson!
@@danmoore415 yes, I love that song...Alan Jackson and George Strait...two country legends!
I am not a C&W fan but do like when someone stands their ground. If I went to a rock concert (never mind an awards show) and a country music talent did warmup I'd loudly be asking for a refund.
Country music better better get their act together before it’s too late.
It’s more about commercial appeal than the actual genre. I prefer the classic Country and Western , not that Country and Western fusion mess.
Alan Jackson is a classic himself. He's timeless and both his talent and values will continue to hold up throughout generations. He's truly one of the country music greats.
His values? Like cheating on his wife? Please.
@@sherrikirkland6318 were you there? According to a court of law, if YOU didn't see it, then it didn't happen!
Besides, this conversation is about country music singers not husbands & wives. ANY HUSBAND OR WIFE.
@@sherrikirkland6318 Go on ahead Mrs Pure and cast the first stone!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!
@@girliegirl-vk3vo He wrote a book, most “real” country music fans know this 😂. He is VERY talented.
@@sherrikirkland6318 Why did you read it? Or was that hearsay? Don't suppose you care really that he is very sick & has pretty much retired. But then again since all the guys you listen to, l suppose they are all holier than thou because you kicked the entire story about SINGING Country Music to the curb.
I will always love and admire Alan Jackson for his talent, his patriotism and his remaining true to real country music. He is loyal to what is important and remains strong in his beliefs. He is our favorite and always will be. We LOVE Alan!!!
I love Alan I don’t blame him for standing up for what he believes in.💙
IF I WAS HIM, I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING! HONESTY AND TRUTH IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO. SO MANY PEOPLE THESE DAYS ARE NOT WHOM THEY PRETEND TO BE. THIS PERSON HERE MY FRIENDS, IS THE REAL DEAL. IF HE SAYS SOMETHING, ITS TRUE. THIS PERSON WOULD NEVER BETRAY YOU.......🙄
He sure is a real man, walking out on woman performers.
@@MrLivewire1970 He would not have wanted out if they were true country singers, Loretta Lynn, Reba etc! But they were not
@@kathywinnerbigdogmom I'm confused because Alan Jackson's most popular song is a duet with Jimmy Buffet who is not a country singer. Also, look at the lyrics to Chattahoochee, that's a pop country song that Kenny Chesney wouldn't even sing.
We salute you Alan Jackson!
@@jimbeaux89 speak for yourself
Alan Jackson is the best ever,,,I would rather see him walk away from the awards than stay there. Country music and the CMAs aren't the same as they use to be. ALAN JACKSON IS A STAND UP PREFORMER. Been loving his music since day one of his career. No matter what I will stand behind him for the rest of his life. Today's Country music Sucks
Have to agree, REAL COUNTRY MUSIC is where it's at. Love you Alan
Well said! Long live REAL Country music!! Long live Alan Jackson!!
Totally agree and really think they need to drop the "Country Music" title. You can walk into and karaoke bar and hear the same crap. There's absolutely zero talent out there. Ever notice they're here today gone tomorrow? We will never have legends again. Give me my CD's and Willies Roadhouse!
It does suck!!!!!
I agree with you.
Props for Alan Jackson. More artists should have done the same. May he continue to stand up for country music.
yall so mad at this black woman singing a country song and its honestly funny but sad
I SALUTE ALAN FOR THIS! Let's get country music back to country music!
Amen brother! 🙏 😉
I agree. I've just about stopped listening to country bc of the idiots that call it country, and it isn't!!!!!!!
I don't blame Alan for walking out,I would have too!!!!!!!
I Totally agree with that. A LOT of the New Country is more Rap than County! I don't listen to A LOT of the New Country because most of it isn't Country, it'smore rap than Good Holesome Country!!!
Yeah, I do understand everybody has to get a start somewhere but the Bro Country and the not sure what to call the Girl stuff but I love the ones who are truly Country. So from this era, it's Miranda, I like some of Jason's, Kelly but she can go either way, some Carrie, Kenny Chesney, that's about it.
Who in the fvck thought beyonce should be on a country music stage? Smdh!
I do listen to some pop music and have never liked her music. If whoever wants a black female artist that is not country, what about Tracy Chapman. Real talented musician and singer.
Thank You Alan Jackson... Thanks for keeping it real and standing up for country music and the fans ...
How is walking out on another performer standing up for country music. Y'all so mad this black woman was on y'all show but y'all claim it's not racist. Ha
@@devanshepard9118 watch it again... they were told beforehand there would be no cross over taking place... I don't think you would like it if you went to her concert and had to watch country music ... sounds like a few people doesn't want to follow the rules ... it is after all called country music awards for a reason ... it has nothing to do with race, a lot of black people sing Country music ... Darius Rucker, Charley Pride, Ray Charles...
@@countrygirl6794 beyonce was singing a country song tho, not a pop so there was no crossover
@@devanshepard9118 why was that n......r even there? How many country artists get invited to NET?
Country music now, is NOT country music! Alan Jackson is right! Legends like him, George Strait, Chris Ledux, Gary Allan, Don Williams, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Brooks, Loretta lynn, Willie Nelson etc. etc. etc. so many more are what real Country music is!
💯💯❗️❗️ just because you sing a pop song in a southern accent doesn’t make it country!!
Couldn't agree with you more
There's heaps of good country music atm, just none are played on "country radio".
I agree with you to an extent. Here's why. The artist you named has molded country music. Then you add in the artists to looked up to those artists bringing their sound and their story sounding similar ( not the same) as their idols. Making country music sound a little different. So when you add someone like George Strait there is someone similar like Aaron Watson or Cody Johnson. If you get my point. There will be country artists today that have to use elements of their favorite time. A good example is Brooks and Dunn. One of their big hits was with Luke Combs. Who brings a 90s sound/style with modern sounds as well. Shoot look at Mason Ramsey. That boy can yodel not many artists do that. We are being given older sounds in a modern fashion. Which is fine. It's where country music artists come in and bring in the Pop element to it. So to an extent part is there will be acts like Florida Georgia Line that everyone hates. But look at them then think about Big and Rich! They are somewhat similar. Both of them have rocking songs to sad songs. They even ✌️quote in quote ✌️ split up but not completely to do there own things. It's the Kane Brown's and Walker Hayes Chase Rice and others that make people think the way they do.
Don’t know if I’d put Garth brooks in the same category as George and Alan but hey. To each your own I guess.
Alan Jackson has stood up to the CMA Awards before. One time when they disrespected Georgia Jones. I am proud of Mr. Jackson for standing up for what he feels is right. God bless him. 💖
Hello👋how are you doing and how is the weather conditions there,I see you're country music lover fan of Jackson and George Jones I hope you are staying safe and okay..I'm sorry to bother you, but if you find this message embarrassing pardon my manners..God bless you may your heart desires come through I hope to hear from you.
Who's gonna tell him that black people created country music ? 👀💀⚰️
Alan Jackson is Awesome, and does what he needs to do. Country, and Gospel all the way.
Straight facts right here
@@anthonycrenshaw3229 Thanks Anthony. 😁
There are Award Shows for all kind of genres. But Beyonce has NO place at the CMA, no disrespect. She is not a country star. It's a bit like the Rock N' Roll Hall of fame. I do not think rap is something that should be awarded there. Just my opinion.
Lol Americans are becoming petty.
Alan Jackson said it all!! Too bad more people don’t listen. He is the voice!!

That's Great and all until you found out the real originators.
@@KhanyisaniSithole-kr2kn They'll scream and cry like never before. 😂
Huge respect for Alan Jackson for his music and walking out. Only wish more would have walked out with him. ❤️🇨🇦
Agree...
everyone is not a racist like alan is
There's a level of hate or misguided angry that is frightening.
@@ericsniper9843It’s not hate. Country has become a trend & the real country folks enjoy the genre so much cause it represents us🤷♂️ We see right though all the fake people that are just doing it for the attention/money like Beyoncé, Shaboozey, Yung gravy and post Malone for example. And that’s coming from someone who likes Post Malone😂
@@devanshepard9118Everyone is not sped like you are.
Alan Jackson is a stand up guy
No pun intended, he is 100% country music and yes he did the right thing 👍👍👍
Pun intended. He stood up and it makes me respect him even more.
All i got out of this is that Alan Jackson is uptight, and lack of respect for new generations that may not share his extreme values, at the end of the day its just the CMAs, not everyone should have to have the same values as him. Still love his music but what a party pooper lol
@@mikeymike8705 What I meant by EXTREME is that it means SO much to him, that he forgets It's not just about him and his traditional views, it's about what other generations love as well. To me ts just disrespectful to just up and leave because it isn't the same as 20 years ago, not like this came out of nowhere, It's been like this, he shouldn't have gone at all. All I'm saying is ALL main music genres change. And It's normal for us to have a special place for OUR music we grew up with, but that's us, what about the younger generation who doesn't have that special tie to that music, the ones that added their twist to it that they love along with the new generation. Might be trash to you and me, but not to them. It's not right or wrong. Alan Jackson just reminded me of my dad, who thought my 80s rock was trash because it wasn't like Led Zeppelin or the doors. Etc. At the end of the day it is not a big deal though, it's just music, we have our classics.
God bless this man for standing up to what he believes . Much respect Mr. Jackson.
Good on Allan! 👍🏽🙏🏽💕🇨🇦
God bless Alan Jackson. I never liked the chick's with dicks, I mean Dixie Chicks. CMA stands for Country Music Awards, not BET or LGBTQX whatever the heck they call themselves. Alan is classic by keeping it real.
Nothing but respect for Mr. Alan Jackson.
I applaud Alan for doing what he did 100% 👍👍
I do too. What they originally did ruined their career yet they continued to sell concert tickets. I bought tickets before they acted like idiots…My husband was furious when they brought politics into their concert! We left too. It’s ashame because I used to think they were so talented. They got full of themselves and thought they could do or say anything. Nope. I’m with Alan Jackson. Not country at all.
@@sallycanfield2775 : Alan Jackson left because The Chicks were singing with Beyoncé who is NOT country! It had nothing to do with politics.
@@donnaleach8119 I agree but nowadays it can all be rolled into one. Alan Jackson, George Strait, Willie Nelson, Lukas Nelson,Tim McGraw, Chris Stapleton,
Morgan Wallen-so many wonderful country singers, Garth Brooks, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Jason Aldean, Thomas Rhett.
Toby Kieth, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton. I love Western Swing by George Strait! The more steel guitar the more I love it!
@@sallycanfield2775 : I agree! I LOVE the sound of a steel guitar! Alan Jackson has been my personal favourite since he first came on the scene! I’m not sure to what you’re referring in your phrase, ‘I agree but nowadays it can all be rolled into one…’
I'm with Alan on this! I'm 58 years old and grew up on traditional Country music! I miss the Hag and George Jones! Long live Traditional Country music!
Robert you are so right.i loved the hag and George Jones wow he was the greatest 😀.
Same but I really enjoy some of the even older artist like Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams Sr, Bob Wills...
Good for you AJ. Charlie Rich walked out of one and never went back. The industry has totally ruined the music. There is very little individualism in the songs nowadays. They all sound the same. They all have the same words and message. Take away words like girl beer tailgate truck and the rest of the cliches and they couldn't write a song. Someone needs to go to Walmart and get themselves an original thought. Rap has no place in county music and the pop queens should be played on a pop station. Does anybody even have a steel guitar in their band anymore?
AMEN TO THAT!!!!
Same age here and I agree 👍 🎸🎵🎤
Thanks for keeping it real Alan, because country isn’t country anymore !! Thanks for your courage and opinion , and I hope others will follow when they know it isn’t right also
Thank you Alan. He did what many of us would like to do.
I stopped watching CMA's years ago when they started straying from their country roots. Kudos to Mr. Jackson for standing on principle.
Me to
Same.✌
come on you guys don’t like country rap lol
@@corruptfbi3229 Country music is GARBAGE anyway!
@@vincentdemidio7902 today’s country music is all that they do is get up and twerk looking like hoes it’s not the same as it was but if you’re trying to troll a get a reaction out of someone 🖕there’s you a response have a good day
I absolutely love and treasure real country music. It's sad to see that there are less and less sticking to the tradition of real country.
Hello there Heather nice meeting you here
It's not that there are less and less...radio stations are controlled by record labels who REFUSE to put real country out there and if someone slips past them they block radio play. Real country singers are out there but tone deaf arrogant executives are ruling the world of radio and listeners be damned. DJ are not allowed to play what they want. They are puppets. Watch Coal Miners Daughter. You will see how country use to be.
@@kln58cub why do you think that is
Every generation of country fans have some negative views of the up-and-comers. They should be welcoming them because they're the ones who'll keep country music alive.
Traditional country music was made by black people. It literally came from salve hymns
Seeing there is no Country Music anymore, and the "Awards Show" are a joke, I stand by Alan Jackson and am proud of him. Alan and George all the way.
It's even worse now in 2022. Radio 'Country' is just pop with an Alabama accent. That's why I still have Highwaymen and Glen Campbell cds in my car 24/7. And award shows have to be in Vegas? What happened to Nashville?
It would be nice to have more young groups like Rascal Flats and a few other bands that aren't afraid of showing their roots and including some gospel and bluegrass on their recordings.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I disagree with there’s no country music: Listen to Nick Bosse “ what happened to country “
Don't forget Chris Leduex
I saw Alan Jackson live in Paso Robles, Ca when Chattahoochee first came out and he was just becoming well known. I will never forget, he sung his heart out and 1/2 way threw he said there would be a short intermission. He then said he was going to take that time to give thanks where thanks belongs, and proceeded to sing, from the bottom of his heart, Christian Hymns. I sat there the entire time with tears flowing down my face with more love and respect than imaginable. AJ's the best!!!!!
He has always been the BEST !!!!
I agree. He is a legend in country music.
He sure is! One of the true greats.
It means so much to me and I’m sure others that he is not ashamed of his deep faith and that’s what so love about him. How fortunate you were to see him sing songs thanking that One who made it all possible. God bless Mr. Jackson and his family. ✝️☮️
Don't forget George Strait. H also is a believer in the real C/W music. When they both sing together, their harmony is awesome. In that CWA show, they cut down George Jones. I mean Nashville did. That's another reason why Alan Jackson walked out. Nashville wanted him to sing a cut down version of his own song. Nashville forgot how much money George Jones made them. To me that was totally disgraceful to one of our biggest legend.
I don’t blame him one bit he’s a very good singer and he is one of the best too
Definitely not country anymore.
True
Kinda true anyway
@@Kentucky808 how are you doing today
I’m good
Very PROUD OF HIM FOR DOING THIS. THANK YOU ALLEN JACKSON FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING. I STAND BY YOU 100% Everything he said is TRUE!!!!!
I love Mr. Alan ! He’s a legendary country artist ! He’s a country artist and he was there for the purpose of country music not mixed music ! I stand with him on that !
That's the thing about music. It evolves. Country has been mixed for a long time
@@11179221 true
@@debbiesmitherman9295 how are you doing Debbie?
The sound of 90s country music is epic, as why it was So Popular! The material still had steel guitars & fiddles played in the music (seems to be lost arts anymore). There were great music, with good messages, from very unique and talented artist. Listen to alot of 90's country again people, and fall in love with it, all over again.
Right on. You can’t top 90s country. Especially nowadays with most of the trash they push.
And also 80s country. By mid 2000s, country became mostly quite unrecognizable.
In this busy world we live in today it's hard to find the time and patience to learn to play a steel guitar or fiddle. You almost have to start when you are a kid. I don't mean 12 I mean like 6.
@@chestrockwell1794 Amen. Wish the faculty at song u would read some of these comments.
Try some 80's if your a real cowboy, but, I doubt it, you all have been gelded!!
Allan is from my hometown, and I can tell you our generation was taught to stand up for what you believe in.Not only was this for what he believes in ,but for his COUNTRY FANS as well.He doesn't do a lot of talking,he shows you ( which is way more powerful ).He has made our hometown ( Newnan, Georgia), so proud...
You should know how to spell his name - first of all Alan Jackson is an "ok" singer - he doesn't have phenomenal range - there's lots of singers - they are everywhere + but not many are 6' tall with long flowing hair and blue eyes + I saw Alan Jackson the day after he signed a record deal - what sets this dude apart is his ability to do write -
I'm from the country - not a suburb of a suburb but 2 hrs from the nearest city - same county as Bill Monroe - Bill Monroe truth be told would tell you Alan is more Hollywood than country - because his perspective was different - to people like him if you had a drummer in the band it ain't so country - When Hank Williams was new - he was considered " prog"
No body had heard anything like it -
You can use labels all you want - Alan Jackson has never ridden a tough horse in his life - it's what I do for a living - who's more country ?
My life is horses, dogs, cats , and loud screaming guitars - the girls love it by the way - anyhow I'm out here in the woods as I write this - I had my hands on over a dozen horses before 6 am - your man Alan is either in his multimillion$ bus or his multimillion $ home - who's more country?
@@davidrice3337 so your from Indiana not Kentucky? Kentucky claims Bill but was born in Indiana
I love country music and played in a country band and did some of Alan's music, and he is one of the best, but still seems a little racist to me, just sayin!
@@davidrice3337 I totally understand what you are saying, and no Alan cannot hit every range, like his singing at George's funeral and rendition of HSLHT is not how George did it. But Alan does have enormous talent and a nice voice and country values. He is such a humble, although now very rich man with integrity, too. Everyone has there own niche. Like Bill Monroe is Bluegrass, which I appreciate. I think of my mother's generation. She grew up just like Loretta Lynn only on a mountain in Tennessee. I grew up listening to Loretta and others on country radio in the sixties and 70's. My cousins in Tnn had to come off the mountain and work in town if they did not want to be miners. When Alan came along in the early 90's, he appealed to people like me and my cousins because no, we were not as country as our parents were, or people like you, but he was way more country than the pop country radio era of the 80's and he reminded us of growing up listening to what mom and dad did. Loretta Lynn's country holler home sounds different than yours, but it was definitely country in the woods like you, only with more mules maybe than horses. Enjoy yours, though, that's an awesome way to live !
@@willietrotter9522 that awful racist garbage from some of the south reared it's ugly head too long. I loved my parents, but they both were raised in that ignorance and I did not learn better until I went to an integrated school.Thank God I did. Alan seems too loving to treat people that way, I sure hope not. The jargon and other parts may be there in a way he does not realize, but it does need to go. I cannot understand how people could have been so ignorant and arrogant towards their fellowman, but when you are raised hearing and seeing it, you have to then learn it is wrong. Very appalling, horrific and sad. Maybe like the old caste system in India, the holocaust in Germany, and other times in history when humans wrongly lorded over other humans. I worked with a friend whose family come from Alabama. She was black and her daddy was a preacher and farmer who worked for a white man in construction. She said they worked together on crops and building according to the season and her community of black and white saw no color, only that they needed each other. That's how it needs to be and I wish all the south had been like her area.
Alan's a classic and a class act. Waylon coined it best when he said it's like a cookie cutter industry now and you can't tell one artist from the other. I quit watching the CMA's ages ago and until they get back to good country music I won't be tuning in.
Just watching this a couple of days after hearing that Dolly Parton declined a nomination to the Rock and Roll hall of fame. She said she never earned such a spot. It's good when people know who, what, and where they are in the scheme of things and stick with their genuine authentic genre rather than being all over the map.
Yes..Dolly, Glows with Humble Joyfulness.. Still popular..
When I first heard that Dolly was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I was SO confused!! I thought it was a joke really. Then i found out it was real and thought..."Dolly Parton, in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?, it just dosent seem right" and then Dolly turned it down and I smiled, because Dolly is still 'real', and never sold out just to advance her career or gain something just for the sake of fame. Thank you Dolly!!!
Dolly just produced a one hour tv special that was a love letter to all her fans.
She simply sat in a chair talking and singing some of her finest classic songs.
Dolly talked just like an aunt who had seen everything and was just saying ,"It's ok,we are going to be just fine." through her great music.
The entire hour was a very unhollywood hour of reflection,class and love from a legendary singer.
I watched the whole hour and was glad Dolly produced it so she could say what she wanted to say the way she wanted to say it.
Dolly is a true humanitarian and has always been a real entertainer,
Way too classy to be considered a rock and roll star
Actually you have to pay to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of, now, Shame.
Research it.
My hats off to MR. ALAN JACKSON. He did the RIGHT thing, Only one with enough BRASS to stand up to the CMAs powers that be. WHAT is COUNTRY about BEYONCE & the DIXIE CHICKS???? U go.Alan
Alan, we need more country music performers to do what you did. Keep your country music coming!!!
His most recent album “where have you gone” is fantastic! He’s a real country singer
I have always respected Alan Jackson. I could not be more supportive or proud to say I support his career and character. Thank you!

Awesome country music has been around since beginning of time, proud of you Alan
Alan Jackson is a legend of country music
I'm not really a country music guy, (I'm more of an 80's rocker) but I do applaud Alan Jackson's stance on this matter.
I do not say this with any disrespect to country artists or their fans, but I've always felt that country music has lost it's identity in the 2000's... perhaps even earlier than that. Trying to evolve country music by crossing over with, say, hip hop, or rap is not evolution... it is mutation.
Country and rock is a much better melding, but I know there are traditionalists who would balk even at that notion. Again, no disrespect.
Personal opinions only. Good video, Country Cast. Thanks for sharing.
Way to go Alan jackson
I only listen to old country, I never knew why till now.
@@kennethyoung1164 I remember seeing an interview with George Jones some years back, and he said something to the effect of: Today's music isn't country. Just because some young, cut guy puts on a cowboy hat and sings with a little bit of a drawl, that don't make it country. (Paraphrased)
@@martok2112 - As a country music artist in Canada for 40 years I whole heartedly agree with you. This mixing of genres of music is not about making new music it's strictly about making MONEY. No-one and I mean NO-ONE will be singing any of the songs recorded since the late 1990's in 50 years from now. But today we still sing, play and listen to country songs from 50 or more years ago. Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Jim Reeves....and on and on. Country music is broken and I'm afraid there's likely no fixing it.
@@tonytrue3211 HI, Tony. The bands I play in in New Orleans cover some classic country as well as rock, and some blues... Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson... sometimes they'll cover some of the newer stuff, but young and old still request Cash and Nelson.
I was never really raised on country, but I did hear a lot of it growing up, and over the years, I have come to admire many of those artists. Granted, I'm a child of the 70's/80's, so some of my country preferences were the likes of Alabama, Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Bros. Band, Kenny Rogers, Eddie Rabbit, Ronnie Milsap, Juice Newton, but I also liked some songs by Marty Robbins, Willie Nelson ("Pancho and Lefty" was one of my favorites as a kid. I cannot remember the other artists involved in the song, but the vocals were so evocative).
Airways glad to meet a fellow musician, and an artist, to boot. (Well, I'm just a singer... so I hang out with musicians...lol). Keep it country, my friend. 🙂
Stopped listening to the country music on the radio a few years ago , I listen on the internet where you can find traditional country, Thanks for standing for real country Alan !
I stopped listening about 8 years ago myself. Prior to that, you could actually tell the difference in style and voice between the artists. Now a days, all the male singers sound exactly alike with their oversaturated auto-tune dubbed vocals, and all they sing about is wanting to score, sometimes with other dudes. No thanks!
As for Alan walking out, it's funny how for years I only heard that he "walked out during the Dixie Chicks performance", which I could understand, but it did make him sound a bit diva. Until I watched this video, I had no clue that satanic Beyonce was part of the act. Now, I'm outraged that the Dixie Chicks didn't walk out as well!🤬
Alan Jackson is an honest and a true legend of Country Music...
Thanks Alan for all these years of joy that your music has given me and thank you for standing up for the real country music. I wish that half our singers now had half of the pride and guts you do. You will always be one of my greatest heros
I've always loved Alan Jackson, now I love him even more. Keep country music country!!!
Country "music", ah, STINKS!!! Disco is TRUTH!!!
I agree!
Nothing but respect for Alan. As the Lyrics Go "You got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything."
Right Beyonce had no right to perform that night, how disrespectful of her, She was showing the true witch is.
yes Aaron Tippin got that one right fs
And yet when black athletes kneel "for something" folks like you get all hot and bothered. And what I mean by "folks like you" is conservative, white, and likely 'Christian' folks.
@@kaygrace5250 Beyonce is from Houston deep in the heart of Texas. Whose to say she had no right to perform?
@@ericsniper9843 she isn’t a country artist nor has she ever put out country music.
There are different genres of music, each one having its own individual style. Each one being separate, and having its own personal identity. This is what makes people appreciate the VARIETY. When the music industry began mixing different genres together, they blurred the lines, and things have not been the same. 🎼🎵🎶🎹
When you say blurred the lines what exactly do you mean? Artists branching out and collaborating with artists from other genres? I hope not since they are artists and that’s what they do. If you mean real country turning into Rascal Flats type garbage then I agree, but most top country these days are in my opinion more pop music than country. Country to me is Cash, Waylon, Jackson, Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson etc.. not what you hear on country radio for the most part or topping Nashville charts
@@sammmuelspaul1946 Separate but equal??? 🙄
Artist have been bending genre's forever. If you want pure, you can find pure artists in each genre, but damn, i don't have enough space for all the genre bending acts over the years. Elvis, country, blues, gospel, rockabilly on......., Rolling Stones and many British blues/rock bands, Dylan, folk/rock, all the 90's rap/rock bands like Limp Bizkit and such. On and on.
WAY TO GO ALAN AND. WE STAND WITH YOU BRING BACK COUNTRY MUSIC WE LOVE
Hello👋how are you doing and how is the weather conditions there, I see you're country music lover fan of Alan Jackson that's lovely I hope you are staying safe and okay..I'm sorry to bother you, but if you find this message embarrassing pardon my manners..God bless you may your heart desires come through I hope to hear from you.
Way too go Alan. Country music doesn't need these outsiders invading our genre. Keep it country!
amen to that
Too much supposed new country western music for the last many years is nothing but rock & roll/metal with cowboy hats!
These weirdos have been allowed to infiltrate their way into every aspect of our lives. I’m so grateful Antonio got to live in a good country while we had one.
It doesn't matter country is gone 😪 RIP merle haggard
I can't stand what is called country music today call it suburban at best. The old stuff is the real stuff and even newer bluegrass sucks IMO
This is why Alan Jackson is my all time favorite male country artist. I have his t-shirt "Im Bringing Country Back". After listening to country radio stations for over 40 years, I have changed the dial. When I want to listen to true country music, I listen to my Alan Jackson cds. His latest cd "Where Have You Gone" has 20 dynamite songs of true country music. Thank you to Alan Jackson for keeping it traditional country music!!!!
You do what I do...I have all the greats on cd and listen to those rather than what is on the radio!
AS HE SHOULD!!Way to go Alan Jackson. First of all it's country music, second there's more than enough country music legends who could have preformed and/or received recognition! He clearly isn't ashamed of his core values or beliefs. We need more artist like him!
I would have listened to Hank Williams Jr , Waylon Jennings , etc,
way before Beyoncé came up there and stole the attention
She was singing a country song. What he did was unprofessional and racist and yes I said it. Y'all mad cause a black woman was singing country song
@Devan Shepard why didn't they have a traditional country artist up there? She is not country. You're missing the point. The whole show was to celebrate 50 years of country. If Alan Jackson was singing in a pop music celebration, I'd say wrong too. It's sad how race has to be brought into it.
@@donnaschatte9515 um maybe cause it's there show and they can invite whoever they want. Beyonce was singing a country song. Race was brought up cause it came off racist. Alan is old enough to be her father. You don't walk out on another performer. He did not walk out on these bro country singers so why walk out when a black woman gets on the stage?
The CMAs are the ones that invited her to sing her COUNTRY song. What part of that doesn't click for you? This dude and everyone supporting him are pussies lmao, grow up. Beyonce was the only one who could save the dogshit ratings for the show I guess :)
Have a lot of respect for Alan Jackson, one of the best country singers ever. I actually think what they call country music now is far from the music grew up with. I rarely watch awards shows,they seem to be packed hypocrites and people who hate what America stands for.

Respect and that's why love Alam jackson
Alan Jackson is a legend in country music. God bless him for walking out on the act, enough ramming PC performances down our throat, get back to real country music like Alan Jackson and others.
I STRONGLY AGREE!!
Way down yonder Mr. Jackson just decided to dump the cooche in the hootche!
Mr Jackson is the reason I listen to country. Ever since I heard Chattahoochee as a kid when I seen it on cmt when it came out.....long time ago
Alan Jackson made the right decision!! Being here in Nashville, being a small part of the music business,
and seeing all the BS that happens, WAY TO GO ALAN JACKSON!!!
I did watch the show but didn't know the background story till seeing this and what Alan did spoke volumes on how he felt about Country Music and this may had been embarrassing to CMA which they very much were evasive of what they were going to do and this collaboration between The Chicks and Beyonce was okay but it cause a lot of divide on social media which is why CMA did what they did which no doubt many people very much given up on awards show that's becoming a dog & pony show.
Nashville is now a Disgrace.
I like him even more now I would walk out with him

Omg! Someone finally agrees with me. So sorry I missed. Ive been saying for years that country music was changing. So proud of you @Alan Jackson. Youre my hero. Xoxo
If it doesn't change it will die. Thanks to Beyonce we taking country music back and breathing soul into it from its roots! Thanks Allen for inspiring what will become the greatest album of all time busting through all genre segregation barriers. Your hate makes us even greater!! Heeeehaaaaaww!

Want to thank Alan for walking out on the cma awards. He is a true country singer an performer. God bless

Good for him! He stands for his beliefs no matter what! Love Alan Jackson.
Much respect to Alan for doing this. He did the same thing back in 99, when they wouldn’t give George Jones a longer time slot to sing his complete song, so George forfeited going. Alan sang his song, and proceeded to sing Jone’s song “Choices”. There’s a reason why the Dippy Twits aren’t relevant in country music anymore. Their feud with Toby Keith didn’t help them much either!!! God Bless traditional country music, and traditional artist.
Love your Dippy Twits comment!!! EXCELLENT 👍😊 Thank you so much.
Dippy twits bad mouthed president Bush. They should have read the part in the bible that talks about opening your mouth and defiling yourself!
The Dippy Twits!!! That's GREAT!!!!
Apparently now they're just Twits since they dropped the Dippie thinking that would help.
Always did love Alan Jackson. Good for him.
I’m glad he did that! Much respect. Who ever pulls the strings on CMT Awards……. not a friend to Country Music. They need to replaced
If oatmeal could sing, it would sound like Alan Jackson
I agree completely good for Alan Jackson for standing up for traditional country.
Yes me too!
How are you doing Linda?
I salute Alan Jackson. I,too, am a torch carrier for traditional country music. A night as monumental as that should have been to honor those who have carried the torch for traditional country music since it's inception. Pop and R&B music are wonderful genres, but CMA stands for Country Music Association and that's what needs to be showcased at such an event.
What do you call "traditional"?.. 50 years ago?.. 60? 100?..150? music changes constantly. Dwight Yoakam wasn't Tex Williams.. Tammy Wynette wasn't Patsy Montana.. Johnny and June weren't Lulubelle and Scotty.. I wouldn't want Beyonce attending either.. as a performer.. but things shift and I wonder how many of the "traditionalists" are old enough to have ever heard Hank Thompson's "Humpty Dumpty Heart' or Al Dexter and his Troopers' "Triflin' Gal" or Don Gibson's "Oh, Lonesome Me" I'm not bitching at you.. just pointing out the fact that as new people come along, the old traditions are easily swept aside and forgotten. I also understand his motivation for walking out. Leaving the show and not making a big noise about it says more than the words could.

@@philipanderson4673 perhaps, but when you listen to Dwight Yoakam you can hear the Texas Playboys and other influences. When you listen to modern "country" you can hear the influences there as well--and those influences are not country, but bad rock, house, hip hop, and cRap.
I am so very glad he walked out! If I’d have been there, I’d have walked out as well!! Country music is NOT what country music was or should be!! So much sounds so rocky & a totally different genre than what country music really is!! There’s many good younger generation that is still carrying it on, but yet so much that’s not…I just turn it off!!
Thank You Alan Jackson for being REAL!! 🤠

Alan Jackson just went even higher in my estimation of a great country singer.
@Praise Jesus, Repent or Likewise Perish = bible-banger!
He's the real deal.
Seriously---he got all upset and walked out just because Beyonce came out and sang for one song with the Dixie Chicks? That's so ridiculous and petty. Just shows how tired and stuck in the mud country can be.
@@alondathomas293 Country music, ahem, STINKS!!!
I haven’t watched any awards shows in years because of this kind of things. Country music is in its own class. The only time I listen to it now, is in my car, that’s it. Last time I was in my car according to life 360* was 12 days ago.
Ok, I honestly don’t even know why “Country Music” is still called by that name, because there is NOTHING Country about 99% of the acts out there today. I’m all for growth and change in a positive way, and I have always given respect to all kinds of music whether it was my own personal taste or not. But there is nothing that even resembles Country Music today except the words it is labeled by. And there hasn’t been a good CMA show, with artists that are AUTHENTIC COUNTRY ARTISTS probably since the 90’s. It’s all just a bunch of criss cross crap of “wanna be’s”.
And BTW, Alan Jackson walking out with little fan fare in the way he did….Man….TOTAL RESPECT and Props to one of Country’s greatest.
Alan Jackson came up as contemporary radio-friendly country rock. Kinda interesting that he's now somehow a country "traditionalist."
Exactly 💯 correct
What kind of " authentic" country artist do you speak of?? 🤔 I bet I can guess... Be White, Be racist, and Be depressed drinking out of a bottle and contemplating on whether to shot your dog or not kind of " authentic" country artist you speak of huh.... Yall be using " code words" and its too funny🤣🤣🤣 How does Rucker make you feel?? How about Charley Pride... I bet they aren't your " authentic" country artist huh.. David Allan Cole is probably your FAVORITE HUH.....
@@michaelbarrett27 I agree, his Era was not real country that ended in the 80s

Too many forget to include Keith Urban in that, he's NOT country.
@@darthvader5532 Though I do love Keith Urban's music, I have to agree Darth that he's about as country as Princess Lea. Lol
@@toddmercer3294 he's got some good tunes, but yeah, he's more of an independent kinda genre. I'm kinda old school though, when I think of country, I think of the Hanks, the Georges, Jonny, Chris, Walon and Willie, Garth, Wynette, Cline and Partton. You know what I mean?
Yeah for Alan He is a man of country that come of of the Baptist churchs in his childhood.................God bless your Alan
Love Alan Jackson for standing up for Traditional Country and those who made it so great. Sadly, it is Music Executives and Producers who now want those cross over pop artists while they delete key "Traditional" names from their playlist and their record labels. I remember Dwight Yokem going to bat for Johnn Cash in his record label dropping him, same with Dolly Parton in her label and having to fund her own recording. Has Beens vs. RESPECT is not cool. Sadly, it doesn't have to be just a 50th Anniversary of Country celebration to create controversy as an Award show, shows in general are becoming very uncool per their virtue signaling.
What Country is doing is they are doing is either the pop or 95% of the songs a group does are what should be modern Southern Rock. There is even a Two man Group Left Lane Cruzer from Alive The one Black Keys main label they bought out, that is more Blues Country and more Country then most being promoted now but since they are from Northern Indiana in the Fort Wayne area and on the Black keys Lable they get ignored. It is a sucky time and even a band from Canada Corb Lund has been for years ignored by the masses since they are Canadian Country even in Canada they get the same treatment by the big Country industry.
It is sad the way Producers are going and I fear all music will have some crappy Pop stuffed into them because the labels and Industrial record companies force it, this same pop style we have been hearing for over 10 years since 2010.

Definitely the right thing to do ! Proud of Alan Jackson 👏 💙 ❤
Yea me too.. proud of him
How are you doing?
I grew up on traditional country aka country music, every morning Dad had it on the radio it filled the house or he had a tape or cd playing, but back then telling anyone in school I liked it or Kmart got me teased, until I got to highschool then it was perfectly fine to like it, I love country and 80's rock I feel that's real music most pop stuff these days all sound the same and it doesn't sound like music. people will get mad at me for this but I don't consider rap to be music give me George Strait anyway long live the king.
He’s completely in the right!! Standing up for country music and this country! Always has, always will!! This is the type of person who needs to run this country!!
I guess that's Alan Jackson's way of telling the establishment to take their CMAs and shove 'em where the sun don't shine.
Yes I would like to see a man like Alan Jackson run this country.
Yeah, that's all we need is another celebrity president. The intelligent founders of America would be shocked at how America chooses it's leaders today. On the other hand some of them were slave owners so maybe we shouldn't follow their moral guidance either.

Country music needs to be reinvented in order for a traditional renaissance to occur. And when I say reinvented I mean fiddles, banjos, steel guitars, and ten gallon stetsons with a nice suit. Country music today is on life support.

I applaud Alan Jackson for doing so. Alan Jackson even made a statement in an interview awhile back, stating that true Country music is dying and is never coming back. Today's Country music is not the same and many of the Country music legends are gone now, like George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, etc., Most of today's Country music seems to be about fornication, adultery and partying, etc., things that have no true value or messages of hope to offer the world.

not the first time hes done this,i remember on another awards show years ago when george jones was told there was no time for him to perform ahead of alan jackson,when alan found out they axed his idol he came out and insted of singing his song,he sang a george jones song,layed down his guitar and left the building
