March 28, 2013 Carrie Underwood got her big break on the TV show American Idol and she continues to 'return home' to where it all started. One of the best known contestants to ever win the competition, Carrie Underwood, has carved her niche in the country music industry with 17 No.1 singles.
Two country superstars clashed at the top of the Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown this week, with fans of Toby Keith and Carrie Underwood going vote for vote for new videos 'Hope on the Rocks' and 'Two Black Cadillacs.' Did Underwood hang on to repeat at No. 1?
Country superstar Carrie Underwood might have just a wee bit of a control issue -- but at least you always know she'll be on time. In a new interview, the 'Good Girl' singer admits that she's somewhat obsessive about things like food, cleanliness and especially tardiness.
Ever since singing competition reality shows became en vogue, radio play has been dotted with hits that came straight from shows like 'American Idol.' In fact, a lot of big-name stars -- including Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson -- came straight from the 'Idol' stage. Recently, Billboard magazine conducted a special survey of the Top 100 'American Idol' hits, and country music was well represented, to say the least.
Carrie Underwood's mega successful career is obviously a byproduct of winning Season 4 of 'American Idol.' While the 'Two Black Cadillacs' singer could have a fleet of private jets at her disposal at this point in her career, such was not the case when she first won the show. She was offered access to a private jet -for free!- but she nixed it for practical reasons.
Three very different types of videos battled for the top spot on the Taste of Country Video Top 10 this week. 'American Beautiful' is sweet and fresh for springtime. The new clip from family trio the Henningsens was No. 1 last week, but it was not enough for a Stephen King-inspired clip from Carrie Underwood. After four straight weeks at No. 2, 'Two Black Cadillacs' is the new No. 1.
March 14, 2013 Getting ready for Carrie Underwood's upcoming appearance on Taste of Country Nights on Friday got me to reminiscing about the times I've spent with her over the years.
Kree Harrison continued her effortless dominance of Season 12 of 'American Idol' on Wednesday night (March 13), performing the Roy Orbison classic 'Crying' to the universal, effusive praise of the judges.
Aspiring star Devin Velez sang Carrie Underwood's 'Temporary Home' on 'American Idol' on Wednesday night (March 13), turning in a rendition that had the judges questioning his song choice.
Carrie Underwood turned 30 on Sunday (March 10), but she likes to say it's the one year anniversary of her 29th birthday. Age doesn't bother the 'Two Black Cadillacs' singer -- she just can't wrap her mind around being 30 quite yet. But that isn't going to keep the superstar from celebrating all week long.
For just the second time since the Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown began, a new video sits at No. 1. Carrie Underwood's 'Two Black Cadillacs' and the Henningsens' 'American Beautiful' fought a very close battle for the top spot; it was the most contested video Top 10 of all time, with the narrowest margin of victory.
'American Idol' winner and country music starlet Carrie Underwood knows what it's like to sing your heart out and then wait for judges to decide your musical fate, and she's willing to do it... if she can be the bearer of good news.
