Carrie Underwood
In my next life, I want to be Carrie Underwood. Seriously. Not only does she name David Cook as her BFF from American Idol , but she just dropped a new (and sure-to-be-successful) album, is hosting the CMA's with labelmate and fellow country music icon Brad Paisley, and is dating an NHL hockey player...not bad for a small town girl from Checotah, OK. On top of hosting the CMA's, Underwood is nominated in two categories, including "Female Vocalist of the Year," which she has nabbed the past three years. She isn't, however, nominated for the "Entertainer of the Year" category, of which she holds the current title. When asked by USA Today's Brian Mansfield if she feels slighted, Underwood says she actually understands, as she didn't complete an actual tour in 2009:
"I was still working very hard," she says, "but I wasn't out there in the public eye."
And of her upcoming All-Star Holiday Special, Underwood says:
"It makes me feel nice to think that people can watch the special and hopefully giggle and enjoy some great music."
The USA Today article goes on to note more details on the special:
On the show, she sings a trio with Christina Applegate and fellow Oklahoman Kristin Chenoweth. She also duets with one of her heroes, Dolly Parton. "I was just bright red and beaming the whole time," Underwood says.
David Cook, who won American Idol three seasons after she did, joins her for Van Halen's Why Can't This Be Love. "We sound really good together, point blank," she says. He also lived briefly in Tulsa, and she likes that. "Out of all the people that have been on Idol, he's my best friend."
Looks like the feeling is mutual for David Cook (not that anyone can blame him), as he came out via Twitter in support of both Carrie Underwood's album dropping, and Kris Allen's debut CD being made available for pre-order on iTunes:
