So Small

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releasesSo Small, from, Carnival Ride. She says the song is:

A feeling song on how people invest so much of their time and energy into things that aren’t really important. And you don’t really realize that until it’s too late. We’re all guilty of it, as I know I am, of just letting silly things get in the way. The smallest thing can almost ruin my day, and at some point, I realize, ‘Good gracious, Carrie! What are you doing?’ I have a great life, and we need to remember the things that are truly important.

Before He Cheats

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases, Before He Cheats, from, Some Hearts.

I remember at that time – because that was right after Idol – we [were] on the road, and then I get this song,” she recalled. “I [thought], ‘People are going to hate me for singing this song.’ They’re gonna be like, ‘Oh my gosh, we can’t listen to her album. She’s bad, and I can’t let my children listen to this.’ Finally I was just like, ‘You know what? I like this song. I would turn this song up on the radio, so I’m just gonna go for it.

Jesus Take the Wheel

Single Release0 Comments

Underwood releases a single from her album, Some Hearts. She says that this is the song for which she’d like to be best known for:

I would pick an important one. Not Before He Cheats or Good Girl, none of that. Something that somebody can hear and it would make them feel better or help them through an important time or a tough time in their life.

Wins American Idol

0 Comments

Underwood wins season four of American Idol. Underwood is the first country singer to win the singing competition.

I tried to put myself in the public’s position—who would I vote for?—and I couldn’t pick one. Bo’s (Idol finalist) got an incredible career ahead of him.
