- [Reporter] Alright, we're
here with Brothers Osborne.
Already winners tonight,
guys, congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
It feels good to hit the
carpet having already won one.
We've hit the carpet in the past
and knowing that we'd already lost
so this just feels a lot better.
- [Reporter] And you still did the carpet?
- Well hell yeah, come on.
We're out here, I mean this
is an amazing opportunity.
You get to get out here and
you gotta soak it all in.
- [Reporter] You're
performing with Maren tonight,
no pressure.
- It actually doesn't feel like pressure-
- It doesn't really.
- Because it's with Maren
and who's been one of our best
friends for a very long time.
The song's called "All
My Favorite People."
It's about just the people you love,
and, I don't know, it isn't pressure
because we look over, I see my brother,
I see Maren, I see her band who
we've known for a long time.
It's just like hanging out with friends.
- [Reporter] Now the Lil
Nas X song is causing
quite the controversy.
I'd love to hear your take.
What is country to you?
- Certainly not that.
I don't know what country
is, it's not for me to say.
The only thing to me I just think is,
you know for me if music, if
it makes someone feel good,
then that's really the whole point of it.
However, I don't like that there's
this controversy around it.
Particularly once again, John and I,
we've had successful radio
but we still struggle
at radio all the time.
And so to complain about
that to me is just like,
dude, come on, get in line.
- Yeah, and there's a ton like
we mentioned a second ago,
there are tons of girls
just waiting for the moment.
Waiting in line, writing great songs,
showing up everyday to the writing room.
Sometimes doing two or
three or four writes a day.
They've been in Nashville
for over 10 years.
There's a girl in Nashville right now
called Hailey Whitters who is incredible,
and you go check her music
out, and you're like,
come on, we need to get
this girl propped up.
And then this dude
decides to put out a song
with kind of quasi country lyrics.
- It mentions a horse and something about-
- In movies or some bull shit.
- Movies or something,
and it's like, that's not-
- So it's not that.
- It's not what we want.
- Let's turn the focus away from that.
Don't create controversy and expect that
to give you a hall pass.
We need great songs.
Go listen to Kris Kristofferson
and then go listen
to that song, and if you
tell me they have anything
to do with eachother, then I will quit.
- I will quit.
- I'm out, I'm done with
this genre, I'm done.
- [Reporter] And leaving us
with homework, I love it.
- Yeah.
(laughs)
- [Reporter] Well, have a
good time tonight, guys.
- [Brothers] Thanks.
- [Reporter] Thanks so
much for stopping by.
- I appreciate that.
