American Idol Reunion at AMAs
Posted in Adam Lambert, American Idol, American Music Awards, Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson on the October 27, 2009
This year’s American Music Awards might as well be touted as an American Idol reunion. Why? It just so happens that Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry’s band, Daughtry, are all scheduled to perform at the awards show on November 22nd. They would pretty much cover half of the performances on the show. And I can just guess that country singer Carrie will be racking up a couple of awards too. That’s quite an empire that Simon Cowell and the rest of them have built. Will you be tuning in to see that Idols on the show?
Carrie Underwood Christmas
Posted in American Idol, Carrie Underwood, Christmas on the October 15, 2009
First, Jennifer Hudson got herself a holiday show. Now, Carrie Underwood just jumped the bandwagon too. The sweetheart of a country singer and American Idol winner will be hosting a variety special for Fox this holiday season. The two-hour special event called ‘Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special’ will air on December 7th. What an original title. If I had to guess, the show will be filled by an endless parade of former Idol contestants and country singers singing a slew of holiday songs. I can just kill myself with the happiness bubbling inside me. So who’s going to watch this one?
Carrie Underwood Rakes in Big Money
Posted in American Idol, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, Kellie Pickler, Kelly Clarkson, Records Sale, Singer on the May 27, 2009
Carrie Underwood has had picture perfect success recently. While the 26-year old American Idol alum has seen nothing but that since she started her professional career, she’s still giving us reminders that she’s on top. Carrie was revealed to have raked in $14 million last year. She was far and away the top earner for all Idol alums. Jennifer Hudson came in second with $5 million, Kelly Clarkson with $4.2 million, Jordin Sparks with $3.1 million and rounding out the top 5 was Kellie Pickler with $2.3 million. Hmm, I wonder why David Cook and David Archuleta aren’t on the list.
Carrie Underwood at CMAs
Posted in CMT Awards, Carrie Underwood on the November 19, 2008
Carrie Underwood posed with her recently won award for Female Vocalist of the Year in the press room during the 2008 Annual CMA Awards which were held at the Sommet Center last week in Nashville, Tennessee. The 25-year old American Idol winner won her third consecutive Female Vocalist of the Year award. She also co-hosted the show with Brad Paisley. It looks like everything is going good for Carrie. I can’t say the same for Jessica Simpson though who wasn’t even invited to the event. Maybe Carrie’s rider called for it. Carrie wasn’t the only one who snag a repeat win though as Kenny Chesney won Entertainer of the Year for a fourth time at the show and Rascal Flatts took home the Best Vocal Group award for the sixth consecutive year. Congrats to all the winners!
New Carrie Underwood
Posted in Carrie Underwood, New Single, Video on the August 10, 2008
Carrie Underwood has just released a new video for her new single ‘Just a Dream’. It’s the fourth single from her second studio album ‘Carnival Ride’. The video, which was directed by Roman White, follows a young woman who is about to get married only to find out that her husband-to-be soldier has been killed in combat. Upon realizing that the love of her life is dead, she wishes that it were just a dream and that her husband is still alive. I haven’t seen the video yet and I can tell that I might need a tissue for when I do get to watch it.
Carrie Underwood at CMT Awards
Posted in American Idol, CMT Awards, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift on the April 16, 2008
Carrie Underwood struck a glamorous pose in a purple one-strap mini as she attended the 2008 CMT Music Awards which was held at the Curb Events Center at Belmont University on Monday is Nashville, Tennessee. The only thing that would have been better than this is if she has a hunk of a man beside her. Carrie is way too hot to not have a man! Damn you Chace Crawford! Anyway, the American Idol alum not only attended the show but she also performed. Other performers at the ceremony were Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Sugarland, Taylor Swift and Toby Keith.
Carrie Underwood Does Rihanna
Posted in Carrie Underwood, Celebs, Duet, Hit Song, Rihanna on the March 6, 2008
Rihanna’s hit song ‘Umbrella’ has been covered by so many artists that it has to have taken the title of being the most covered song since Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’. Practically everyone has done their version of the Barbadian singer’s instant classic – whether they be in rock, pop, classical or even country! Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban are the latest to take part in the craze as they actually do a duet of the song during their concerts. You can’t blame anyone for the covers though. The song is good, it’s catchy and it’s versatile. Almost nothing can go wrong with that – unless of course Heidi Montag decides to make a duet with Rihanna too.
Carrie Underwood on Women’s Health
Posted in American Idol, Carrie Underwood, Celebs, Country Music, Record Label on the January 13, 2008
American Idol alum, one of the few that hasn’t been dropped by a record label, Carrie Underwood is in the January/February issue of Women’s Health magazine. In her cover article, she gets asked about everything from Tony Romo, being a vegetarian and wanting to be a news anchor. But what was most interesting for me was when she spoke of her weakness for 80s hair metal.
“I remember singing Motley Crue’s remake of ‘Smokin’ in the Boys’ Room’ in front of the mirror. That was the age of the real ‘rock star.’ I would like to have experienced that first-hand.” Who knew that the little country girl liked to head bang?
Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers Rock Eve
Posted in Carrie Underwood, Concert, Jonas Brothers, Live Music, Miley Cyrus Hannah Montana, Performance on the January 5, 2008
It’s almost the new year and that means that it’s almost time for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2008 which will air on Monday, December 31 on ABC. These years performers include Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers.
The 15-year old star of Hannah Montana was seen exiting her New York City Hotel on Sunday carrying a lovable pooch on the way to a concert. The Jonas Brothers were also seen exiting their hotel in NYC to get pumped for their performance.
Well, I’m getting pumped too! Happy New Year everyone! May 2008 be a good year for you.

She’s snagged a couple of Country Music awards and a ‘Gossip Girl’ hottie in the form of Chace Crawford. It seems that Carrie Underwood is on a roll and now, she’s taking Keith Urban with her.
She has reportedly signed on for a 24-city tour with Keith Urban that’s set to kick off next year. The ‘Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Carnival Ride Tour’ is sure to make headlines as Keith and Carrie are two of the hottest things in country music right now. Tickets for their joint tour will go on sale come December 1.
I can already see country music fans lining up.
Carrie’s Ever After
Posted in Carrie Underwood, Movies, Music, Music People, Performance, Photography, Rumor, Singers, Song, Video on the November 6, 2007
Carrie Underwood has released the music video for the song ‘Ever Ever After’. The song is actually part of the soundtrack of the upcoming comedy/fantasy musical Disney film ‘Enchanted’. The movie stars Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, Susan Sarandon and Idina Menzel. ‘Enchanted’ uses a combination of live action, traditional animation and CGI and is set to be released on November 21.
The video was directed by Roman White and was filmed in the scorching heat of downtown Los Angeles back in August. Paparazzi actually got the first pictures of the shoot. I’m sure Carrie’s fairytale for that day was to get out of the hot sun.
Carrie Underwood, Carried to the Top
Posted in Billboard's Top Music, Carrie Underwood, Celebs, Music, Music People, New Single, Performance, Photography, Singers on the September 7, 2007
Carrie Underwood is sure to lead the new releases in the charts as her radio friendly single ‘So Small’ debuted at #6 on the Soundscan singles chart in the US. Her single is most likely to trump Britney Spears’ good but not really that great of a single ‘Gimme More’.
Soulja Boy’s ‘Crank That’ beat Kanye West for the top spot as Kanye’s ‘Stronger’ stepped down to #2. However, Kanye is still ahead of 50 Cent with ‘Ayo Technology’ which is all the way down at #15.
Nickelback continues to do well as the band jumped to #3 with ‘Rockstar’ while Rihanna’s ‘Shut Up and Drive’ just missed the top 10 as the single sits in at #11.
What’s interesting with this week’s chart? Pink’s ‘Who Knew’ jumped from #25 to #19. Mind you, that track was released a year ago!
