Jana Kramer Why Ya Wanna Video

Posted on by

Watch Jana Kramer’s Debut Music Video for “Why Ya Wanna”. If you’re a fan of the CW’s “One Tree Hill“, then you’re probably already familiar with Jana Kramer. If not, then this might be the first you’ve heard of this new country singer. The Michigan native has firmly established herself in Hollywood, but is now pursuing her true passion, singing…country-style. She just debuted her video for latest single, “Why Ya Wanna“, and you can check it out below. The song while not really dealing with ground-breaking themes, is surprisingly genuine. Kramer boasts a fair amount of potential, and I think this is one new singer we should be keeping an eye on! Watch the below and see if you agree. Check Out Jana Kramer’s “Why Ya Wanna” Now!

Sugarland Run Video

Check Out The Video for Sugarland’s “Run”. I don’t know if you had a chance to catch the live performance of Sugarland‘s “Run” featuring Matt Nathanson at last year’s CMA Awards…but if you didn’t, you missed out. It was one of the best performances of the night. Well, it was one of my favorites at least! There is just something about the lyrics in this song and the way Jennifer Nettles and Nathanson perform this duet together that is absolutely irresistible! In case you did miss the CMA performance, or you haven’t had the opportunity to catch Sugarland live, they have released the video for “Run” for fans to enjoy! It features live concert footage which I think helps emphasize the rawness of the song. Watch it below, and let us know what you think! Sugarland’s “Run” featuring Matt Nathanson.

Country Grammy Winners 2012

Complete List Of Country Wins at 2012 Grammy Awards! Another awards show has come and gone! The 2012 Grammy Awards provided quite a bit of visual interest from what was being worn on the red carpet to the strange sightings of who was sitting next to whom (we took special note of a photo featuring Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert seated next to Lady Gaga). There were a couple good performances, but nothing really surprising going on as far as winners are concerned. Taylor Swift dominated the country categories, and The Civil Wars received quite a bit of attention as well. I really wanted Zac Brown Band to win for “Where The River Goes” (From Footloose) in the Best Song Written for Visual Media category, but no such luck. Also, we were pretty excited about The Band Perry’s New Artist nomination, but they were passed up by another artist. Oh well, we know how amazing they all are! You can see the complete list of Country, Folk, Bluegrass and Americana winners below. Be sure to let us know what you think about this year’s winners! Complete List of 2012 Country, Bluegrass, Americana Grammy Winners Best Solo Country Performance Taylor Swift, “Mean” Best Country Duo/Group Performance The Civil Wars, “Barton Hollow” Best Country Song “Mean“, Taylor Swift Best Country Album Own The Night, Lady Antebellum Best Americana Album Ramble at the Ryman, Levon Helm Best Bluegrass Album Paper Airplane, Allison Krauss & Union Station Best Folk Album Barton Hallow, The Civil Wars
