				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank-you for participating in our <a href="http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/?s=ACM&amp;x=2&amp;y=5">ACM</a> Awards&#8217; polls this past week! We love hearing from you all and appreciate the feedback.</p>
<p>We compiled the results from our polls. Here is how our awesome &#8216;Keepin&#8217; It Country&#8217; readers voted&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">New Artist</span></p>
<p>The reigning <em>American Idol</em> champ, <a href="http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/?s=Scotty+McCreery&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Scotty McCreery</a>, was the favorite for &#8216;New Artist&#8217; with 51% of the votes.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vocal Duo</span></p>
<p>The &#8216;Vocal Duo of the Year&#8217; category was by far our most popular poll. Thank-you so much for voting, and for all of your great comments! It was a battle of the fan bases between <a href="http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/?s=Steel+Magnolia&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Steel Magnolia</a>, <a href="http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/?s=Sugarland&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Sugarland</a>, and <a href="http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/?s=Thompson+Square&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Thompson Square</a>. Steel Magnolia fans were impressively representing for their duo and won the poll with 49% of the votes!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vocal Group</span></p>
<p>In our &#8216;Vocal Group of the Year&#8217; poll, <a href="http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/?s=The+Band+Perry&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">The Band Perry</a> edged out <a href="http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/?s=Lady+Antebellum&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Lady Antebellum</a> with 38% of the votes.</p>
<p>Continue reading for the rest of our results&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-14478"></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Female Vocalist</span></p>
<p>The &#8216;Female Vocalist of the Year&#8217; category was another popular poll. <a href="http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/?s=Miranda+Lambert&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Miranda Lambert</a> was the clear favorite with 62% of the votes.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Male Vocalist</span></p>
<p>The &#8216;Male Vocalist of the Year&#8217; poll came down to <a href="http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/?s=Blake+Shelton&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Blake Shelton</a> versus <a href="http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/?s=Jason+Aldean&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Jason Aldean</a>, and Blake won the category with 39% of the votes.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Single </span></p>
<p>The &#8216;Single Record of the Year&#8217; category was our second biggest poll behind &#8216;Vocal Duo.&#8217; Jason Aldean and <a href="http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/?s=Kelly+Clarkson&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Kelly Clarkson</a> took this one for their smash single, &#8220;Don&#8217;t You Wanna Stay,&#8221; by a landslide and ended up with 85% of the votes.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Album</span></p>
<p>The &#8216;Album of the Year&#8217; poll went to Miranda Lambert&#8217;s &#8220;Four The Record&#8221; with 55% of the votes. Jason Aldean&#8217;s &#8220;My Kinda Party&#8221; came in second with 23%.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Song</span></p>
<p>The &#8216;Song of the Year&#8217; poll was another close one. <a href="http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/?s=Eli+Young+Band&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Eli Young Band</a>&#8216;s &#8220;Crazy Girl&#8221; squeezed by Lady Antebellum&#8217;s &#8220;Just A Kiss.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vocal Event</span></p>
<p>The &#8216;Vocal Event of the Year&#8217; poll also went to Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson for &#8220;Don&#8217;t You Wanna Stay&#8221; with the duet partners finishing up with 57% of the votes.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Entertainer</span></p>
<p>The &#8216;Entertainer of the Year&#8217; poll was again between Blake Shelton and Jason Aldean. Blake won out again, though, with 42% of the votes.</p>
<p>Thank-you again for voting in our polls! Will your predictions end up being correct?</p>
