Carrie Underwood :: Top Earned american Idol

Singer Carrie Underwood earned an estimated $20 million between May 2010 and May 2011, according to a ranking published by Forbes on Thursday (July 21). The pretax sum makes Underwood the top earner among the show's former contestants.

She won the competition in 2005. Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry tied for second place on the Forbes earnings list with $6 million each. Country-related Idol artists on the list include Kelly Clarkson in sixth place with $2.5 million and Kellie Pickler in eighth place with $1.8 million. The report indicated that Idol host Ryan Seacrest made $61 million, a higher sum than the 10 Idol stars' incomes combined.

Carrie Underwood ::Performing at the 46th annual Academy Of Country Music Awards

Singer Carrie Underwood would be performing at the 46th annual Academy Of Country Music Awards. Although she's a megastar, a performance from Underwood at a major country awards show is about as rare and unusual as communion served at a Catholic mass.

However, things did start to get a little juicier when word got out (probably first via a hint from American Idol host Ryan Seacrest's radio show) that Underwood would be performing with a top-secret duet partner. By Friday afternoon, the buzz was out: Who would Underwood be hitting the stage with on Sunday?

There were plenty of spoilers on the web. But for those who waited to enjoy the surprise, the Academy of Country Music mercifully didn't make us all wait too long to find out.

Barely a half-hour into the program, Underwood strode out in an uncharacteristically hard-edged outfit, with Avril Lavigne-ish hot pink streaks threaded through her blond mane. Launching into a particuarly mean-edged version of "Undo It," she was joined on stage by...Steven Tyler.

It sounds like an odd combination when simply written down, despite the obvious American Idol connection (Underwood a past and much-beloved winner of the show; Tyler a current and sometimes-criticized judge). However, America's sweetheart Underwood and the 63-year-old perennial bad boy Tyler made a highly engaging combo, launching into Aerosmith's classic "Walk This Way" after ripping up "Undo It." First of all, Tyler has a bit of core sweetness about himself that compliments Underwood's good-girl veneer. And secondly, the duet almost made one believe the classically squeaky-clean Underwood--or you! Or me! Or anyone!could pass herself off as a rocker chick, if she wanted to be one. Check it out for yourselves:

Carrie Underwood ::will have spend more time with her beloved

Carrie Underwood must have been thrilled to hear the news that her husband, Mike Fisher, had been traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators on Thursday.
After all, the award-winning country music star just so happens to live in Nashville, and the transaction naturally means that she'll be able to spend more time with her beloved.

Fisher, on the other hand, has more pressing matters to attend to on Saturday night. He is slated to make his debut with his new team against the Colorado Avalanche, and he needs to be sharp.

When Mike was traded from the Senators, he was tied for the team lead with 14 goals. Overall, the 30-year-old center has accounted for 24 points on the season.

he perhaps couldn't come at a better time for the Predators, as they've won just twice in their last seven games. They are still sixth overall in the Western Conference, however, and Fisher can only help their playoff push.

Carrie Underwood's Montley Crue Performance

Carrie Underwood is a big fan of '80s rock bands, so she and some girlfriends couldn't resist going down to see Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil in concert at Nashville's Wildhorse Saloon last Friday night, WKRN reports.

Carrie also couldn't resist jumping on the stage and singing with Vince. She sang along on the song "Kickstart My Heart," which contains a profane word at one point, but she refrained from singing that word.

Carrie Underwood - Queen of Country!

Carrie Underwood's first single from her sophomore disc, "So Small," is racing up the charts and setting a record along the way. The song hit number 20 on the Billboard/R&R country airplay chart, marking the highest chart entry by a solo country female in Nielsen BDS history.

"So Small" was this week's most-added new single at Billboard/R&R and Country Aircheck. Serviced to country radio last Monday, with an official airplay impact date of today, "So Small" is already spinning on 128 country reporting stations.

The track also earns the distinction of becoming the highest debuting single of any country artist this year.

Carrie Underwood - Live performance of "So Small"

I must say that I'm not usually that excited by Carrie's songs simply because it's not my kind of music, although I do see that she has a lot of talent. However, this song is really good and her live performance is excellent!

Carrie Underwood - "So Small" Lyrics

Here are the lyrics of Carrie's new song "So Small" which you can listen to on my very own playlist!

SO SMALL Lyrics by Luke Laird, Hillary Lindsey and Carrie Underwood

What you got if you ain’t got love?The kind that you just wanna give awayIt’s okay to open up Go ahead and let the light shine through

I know it’s hard on a rainy dayYou wanna shut the world out and just be let aloneBut don’t run out on your faith

Coz sometimes that mountain you’ve been climbing is just a grain of sandAnd what you’ve been out there searching forforever is in your handWhen you figure out love is all that matters after allIt sure makes everything else seem so small

It’s so easy to get lost insideA problem that seems so big the other timeis like a river that’s so wideIt swallows you wholeWhy you sitting around thinking about what you can’t changeand worrying about all the wrong thingsAnd time’s flying byMoving so fastYou’d better make it countCoz you can’t get it back

Coz sometimes that mountain you’ve been climbing is just a grain of sandAnd what you’ve been out there searching for forever is in your handWhen you figure out love is all that matters after allIt sure makes everything else seem so small

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Sometimes that mountain you’ve been climbing is just a grain of sandAnd what you’ve been out there searching for forever is in your handOh and when you figure out love is all that matters after allIt sure makes everything elseOh, it sure makes everything else seem so small

Carrie Underwood - Sexiest Vegetarian!

Carrie Underwood once said she'd rather sing to cows than eat them ... and she can now add another award to the mantle because of it. PETA has named the former 'American Idol' winner and country megastar the "World's Sexiest Female Vegetarian." This is the second win for Underwood, who also took the title in 2005, along with Coldplay's Chris Martin.

Sexiest Male Vegetarian props go to first-time winner Kevin Eubanks, band leader on 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.' Eubanks racked up votes partly in thanks to Leno, who revealed a shirtless picture of his sidekick and urged viewers to go to PETA's Web site to vote. More than 110,000 votes were cast in the contest. Runners-up included actors Joaquin Phoenix, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jared Leto and Kristin Bell, who took home the award last year with Prince as her sexiest male vegetarian cohort. (source)
