In what was arguably the most talked-about and widely scrutinized live-performance debut of a country singer ever, Gwyneth Paltrow proved her country chops at the 44th annual CMA Awards. The Oscar-winning actress belted the title track to her new movie, 'Country Strong,' in what was an impressive performance for a sold-out arena full of music industry insiders and fans, plus a TV viewing audience of millions.
Strumming a Gibson acoustic guitar, as Vince Gill joined on rhythm guitar and harmony, the blond beauty battled obvious nerves (and some discernible technical issues with audio equipment). Still, she triumphed, gaining better vocal ground -- and managing to appear a lot more confident -- by mid-song.
Does Gwyneth have a future in country music? Time will tell. But for now, she's got the brutal audition process out of the way and passed with flying colors.
