I'm trying to create an account so I can vote, but after filling out all the required info, nothing happens when I click on the "Create Account" button at the bottom. Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions? Can you try through Facebook? That was the only way I was able to do it.

There's no doubt that these are lovely pics but the light has gone out of his eyes in recent M&G times. I was sent a link to the M&G pics by mistake (I only had early admission, not a photo op) and the site contained old M&G pics from the Glamnation tour which of course I'd never seen before as I wasn't around then. The then and now difference was astounding. He was so happy and excited on every one and his eyes were sparkling - understandably, as everything was so new and fresh. Of course it's inevitable that anyone would become jaded. (And at least it's still actually him, not a cardboard cut-out!). With all the opportunities (and $$$$) coming his way nowadays, I wonder if he'll do these photo ops again in the future? Q3 said that these VIP packages and photo ops made the tour possible. If that is the case, I will accept that Adam has chosen to do them in order to do what he loves the most.... being on stage in front of an audience. Like going to the dentist to keep that beautiful, joyous smile bright and healthy? Like standing in the loooong line at airport security in order to fly to an Adam concert? Like eating your vegetables so you can have cake and icecream for dessert? A necessary ritual.

But there are a lot of us in the US. Let's get this one for him. Adam + Country Music Award = MIRACLE!! Oh please throw in a few votes for me Q3. I don't often get excited about these things but ADAM and A COUNTRY MUSIC AWARD! Would be so deserved for that performance and sooo gorgeously ironic.... .it's got to happen (and goodness knows, this may well be his only chance.... ) twitter.com/14gelly/status/729741234550517760

Okay - I just received my Welcome to CMT email - I had to verify my email address - then it took me back to the voting page - I voted and got the Vote Counted box. So it seems you must verify your email address before your vote will be counted. Yes, I just discovered that. So now I have voted Three times! I have 3 different emails....one for the FB account I don't use and a different one on file for Twitter and a gmail account for the login. I think that's all I can do. Whew. I see Nic42 voted....so there are ways that out of country folks can vote as well it looks like. Maybe she'll post instructions. Something about connecting thru VPN and setting up an account at CMT. Not sure. What I did is to set up an account using my normal email address (I hate it when all those social things are interconnected and websites get the right to post on my twitter etc so I always set up separate accounts with an address that is especially suited to do so). That was no problem. Then I connected to the site using a VPN, pretending to be in the US. I use an app that is called TunnelBear. I like them. The first 500 MB are free every month, so for voting stuff like this I don't have to pay. But there are more VPN services out there. I got the 'VOTE' button, clicked it, didn't work. Then I went to my email, clicked on the 'validate' link, which took me to the website. Clicked the 'VOTE' button again, didn't work. Closed the page, opened a new one to cmt.com, logged in and was able to vote. So... if the 'VOTE' button doesn't seem to work, it really isn't. Play around a bit with logging out, closing the page etc. Eventually it will probably work and you'll get a 'thank you for voting' message. Then I tried a second time, got the message 'you have already voted'. So I cleared my cookies, set up another account with another email addresss (didn't work with the first one, obviously) and tried again. Haven't been able to convince the 'VOTE' button to work yet this time, but it doesn't know I already voted, so in theory it should be possible to vote multiple times, if you use separate email addresses and clear your cookies. Good luck everyone! I would laugh SO hard if Adam got this

I still say I can see an Adam and Jennifer Nettles Crossroads collab working. My cross over collaboration dream paring is Adam with Alison Krauss. Natalie Maines from Dixie Chicks would be great too. Oh yes, brilliant idea!! I only know of Alison Krauss because of Robert Plant, he loves the women bluegrass singers... He said, I'll only stop working with them, if you stop producing them...

I voted with gmail,facebook and twitter. Me too! And son has voted with gmail....we have the same IP address...I think, not sure how that works, but he's in the next room....so it's email linked I think. He drew the line in having to set up a FB or Twitter account....so I only got one vote from him.

With all the opportunities (and $$$$) coming his way nowadays, I wonder if he'll do these photo ops again in the future? I agree, I can see "the lights are out" especially lately. I'm thinking it's because he's really tired...mainly....sometimes a little sick I think.....and just weary of it all. There been a few venues where he has looked like a cardboard cutout, no expression...in the eyes or smile. Not sure what he's thinking/feeling. We have gotten so used to smiling Adam, it's noticable when that's missing.
