While it would be really neat if Martina McBride could win a second year in a row, I gotta go with my heart and say Trisha Yearwood. Trisha's got an awesome talent, and I truly think she deserves this award again.

Who Will Win?

Well, I may want Martina or Trisha to win, but I'm afraid that Faith Hill is the one to beat here. She's got a very successful album with Breathe, and is in the middle of a sold out tour with her husband, Tim McGraw. Jo Dee Messina just released a new album, and has had a great year, but I don't think she has the legs to overtake Faith. Lee Ann Womack also has just come off of a 5 week stint at the top of the charts with "I Hope You Dance," but it won't be enough to beat out Miss. Hill.
