American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, was on the Ellen show earlier this week where she talked about a variety of things including her relationship with hockey player, Mike Fisher, and her new album.  She looked so pretty!!! 
It was amazing to listen to Ellen listing all of the awards that Carrie has won in the four short years since she won Idol.  The talk show host talked to Carrie about her experience on the show to glean some insight since Ellen has been named a new judge for the upcoming season.
Watch the interview (the performance is after the jump!)

Carrie Underwood was predictably perfect during her performance at the 2009 CMA Awards last night.  She sang “Cowboy Casanova” and danced along to some saucy choreography and I thought it was tasteful but sexy at the same time.  She is a great example of how to do a burlesque-type number without looking skanky. 

American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, sat down and talked to daytime talk show, Robin Roberts, where she discussed her meteoric rise to fame.  If you’re a fan of Carrie’s you are going to love this interview since it really does provide a behind-the-scenes look at her life. 
She was absolutely adorable and candid and I am such a sap but this sort of stuff makes me all teary eyed.  It was amazing to look at how humble her life was in Checotah (it only had one stop light when she was growing up – it has two now because the …read more

American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, has released her newest album, Play On, and from what I’ve heard of it, I would predict that it’s going to make her fans happy and will probably attract some new ones. 
I really like “Cowboy Casanova” but I adore “Mama’s Song” and “Temporary Home.”  I’m so excited for Carrie since it seems like she’s found yet another layer of her talent which almost seems impossible considering how amazing she already was.
Have you heard the album?  If so, tell me what you thought!

If you’re interested, Billboard.com has a preview of “Temporary Home” which is a track from Carrie Underwood’s upcoming album Play On which will be released on November 3, 2009.

I have to say that, from what I’ve heard, I absolutely adore this song!  She sounds so beautiful and I really like the vulnerability she shows when she’s singing in the upper register.  I am really looking forward to hearing this whole alum.

Billboard has put up a teaser of “Mama’s Song,” a track that was co-written by Carrie and American Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi.  You can check out the clip HERE but come back and let me know what you thought of it.
Of course, Carrie’s voice is amazing and I can really feel the emotion behind the words.  I’m not completely sold on the actual song but I think I need to hear all of it before I form a real opinion.

Country cutie, Carrie Underwood, was spotted looking adorable in pink (magenta?) with her pup at Los Angeles International Airport.  I wish that I could look that good after traveling!  Looks like the pooch was unfazed by the flight as well!
