A lot happened in the finale of American Idol so I’m sure that the 97.5 million votes that came in deemed the show worthy. All of the top 12 came back on the show to perform. David Cook and David Archuleta sang Chad Kroeger’s ‘Hero’. There was a Mike Myers as the guru skit. Syesha Mercado and Seal sang ‘Waiting for You’. Jason Castro reprised ‘Hallelujah’. The top 6 girls performed Donna Summer songs with Donna singing a new single at the end. Carly Smithson and Michael Johns sang ‘The Letter’. Jimmy Kimmel did a roast of the show. The top 6 guys sang Bryan Adams songs with Bryan coming out as well. Cook performed ‘Sharp Dressed Man’ with ZZ Top. The Jonas Brothers did ‘SOS’. Archuleta sang ‘Apologize’ with OneRepublic. Jordin Sparks did her new single. Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr. and Jack Black acted as the Pips to the virtual Gladys Knight. Carrie Underwood performed ‘Last Name’. The top 12 sang with George Michael. And at the end of it all – your American Idol – David Cook.
American Idol champ Carrie Underwood joined Brad Paisley in a live special tribute to country music legend Eddy Arnold during the 43rd Annual Academy of County Music Awards which was held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday. The event was hosted by Reba McEntire for the tenth time and was attended by country music’s best. Carrie being chosen to be part of the tribute shows just how much she has grown as an artist since her American Idol days. The show works – for some people that is. And Carrie’s a big sweetheart anyway. Everyone absolutely loves her.
Carrie Underwood has just released a music video for the third single off of her sophomore album ‘Carnival Ride’. The song is called ‘Last Name’ and it was composed and co-written by the 25-year old American Idol champ. The video shows Carrie eloping in Las Vegas after having several drinks. When she wakes up the next morning, she discovers that she doesn’t even know her last name. To put it simply, Carrie married the man while she was wasted. And she wrote this song? I wonder if Carrie is actually trying to tell us something. Most country songs are pretty much autobiographical aren’t they?
Taylor Swift attended the 2008 CMT Music Awards which was held at the Curb Events Center at Belmont University on Monday in Nashville Tennessee. The young singer also performed on the show and even picked up the award for Best Female Video for her hit single ‘Our Song’. The 18-year old singer could barely believe she won, saying “Are you serious? I can’t even believe this.” And who would when the rest of the nominees included Carrie Underwood, LeAnn Rimes, Martina McBride and Miranda Lambert? Congrats Taylor! You may have been in the company of stiff competition but you definitely deserved it!
Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley were on hand to announce the nominations for the Academy of Country Music Awards on Tuesday in Nashville, Tennessee.

Carrie, Faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Sugarland, Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler are all scheduled to perform on the big night.
Jessica Simpson is really trying hard to be Carrie Underwood. She went back to being blonde, she’s dating Carrie’s ex Tony Romo and she’s in the process of going country. With country music being one of the few thriving genres in America, Jessica Simpson is really trying to make something out of her almost nothing self.
Jess’ dad/manager Joe says that she’s close to completing her first country album and is looking to do a reality show on CMT. Some big names work with Jess on her country album including duets with Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson and producers in John Shanks and Brett James.
KT is jealous and hateful - Carrie Underwood is a wonderful artist who did co write 4 or more songs on her new album. She plays guitar and piano, and graduated from college with high honors. KT is jealous that Carrie won the Grammy because she wanted to win- pathetic. She also cashed in royalty checks from American Idol when Katherine Mcphee sang her stupid cherry tree song. So she is a hypocrite- because she took American Idol’s money- yet bashes the show. Wanker! Carrie has more class and talent than KT does in her hypocritical and jealous finger. And Carrie is not the only person KT has bashed. She bashed Katherine mcphee too- for singing her song, and several other artists. I hope that black horse poops on her cherry tree. Go CARRIE! Carrie has proved herself just recently too if K.T. is not paying enough attention before barking, Carrie just a week or two ago top the country charts in America now if the fans like her music and song why does this bitch have problems.
Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, and now Carrie Underwood are all from Oklahoma and are very successful - if anyone says their “stupid” - then they need to look in the mirror! They are not stupid! Don’t worry Carrie! You’re not! What is it about calling singers stupid, well they can sing and she is a winner at the American Idol contest so she has to have some really good singing skills and a whole lot of talent to win a big contest like that – so does that make her stupid, I think not at all. If you have a record deal or millions in your bank account that doesn’t mean you are stupid. People need to understand that just because someone is repetitive and yet successful it does not mean she/he is stupid, it means that we are putting up with their shit and there are happy to oblige. We are the ones who are stupid buying the same kind of music with new beats, they are just doing the marketing right to fool us all.
American country singer Carrie Underwood has played down reports of a romance with Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo, insisting the pair are just “really good friends”. This is too disappointing, If Carrie went out to get a cup of coffee with Patriot’s QB Tom Brady they would end up more than good friends. This is an absolute press made up story because they feel that if she isn’t dating a man and the next man she is seen in company with would automatically qualify as her boyfriend, haha. These guys in the press know about relationship way too much better than the person in the relation themselves. It’s a shame that you can’t go out anywhere without people speculating that your boyfriend/girlfriend, but it does go along with the business. Like it or leave it. “I understand because we went to the (Academy of Country Music Awards) together and I go watch him play football that people might get the wrong impression, but hardly any people ever ask me.†she says.
Carrie Underwood sure is glad that she listened to Clive Davis. And that fact alone may be one of the things that Kelly Clarkson is furious over.
Carrie’s first single off of her new album is looking to be a big hit. The gorgeous and radio-friendly power ballad ‘So Small’ has been out less than a handful of days and it’s already at #3 on the iTunes singles charts. In addition to that, the song is also tracking very well at radio.
Yup, Kelly has a lot to be jealous of. She’s no longer American Idol’s sweetheart. Hail Queen Carrie!
Carrie Underwood doesn’t want to spend her life jaded, waitin’—or just resting on her laurels. Arista Records and 19 Recordings announced Monday that the follow-up to the country crossover star’s mega-hit debut Some Hearts has been slated for an Oct. 23 release. While it seems as if Underwood must be on her third or fourth album by now, that’s only because the multiplatinum-selling Some Hearts took up residence at number one on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart back in 2005… and managed to return to that spot multiple times over the next two and half years. Some Hearts was named the best-selling album of all genres at the Billboard Music Awards in December, Underwood’s eighth sales-fueled trophy in two years. Now if that is not some achievement then I wonder that is! Some Hearts has been selling @@@.. lost the count by a mile. She is so talented and has the right thought process when she says she ain’t going to rest on previous laurels and spend life jaded.
