Carrie and Randy Travis duet from American Idol!!!! This isn’t one of my favorites from the Carnival Ride CD, but it is pretty cool to see her duet with one of her heroes…
I posted a video of Lady A doing “I run to you” in concert in my last post, but I just found the official video at CMT, so I am posting it as well. I love this song and video!!!!
Current favorite song:
Yes it’s true I listen to music other than Carrie Underwood lol…..
Wow, where has the year gone!!
It was one year ago today that Randy Travis invited Carrie to become a member of the
Grand Ole Opry! I was lucky enough to be in the audience that night and it was a night that
I along with many others will never forget. Below are a few pictures and videos that I took at the show:
Carrie is going to be on American Idol next week, as part of their Grand Ole Opry week. She will be performing a duet with Randy Travis. This is definitely some nice exposure for her music, hopefully it will help with her album sales and help get the single into the top 10… The duet will also be released as a digital single which should be great. Randy is such a hero of Carrie’s, i am sure that this will be a special night for Carrie!!!
Underwood will perform her current hit single “I Told You So” with fellow Opry member Randy Travis, who will also be participating as Idol’s “Opry” mentor for the show’s contestants. Carrie’s version of this 1988 #1 classic by Travis can be found on her Carnival Ride album, and fans will soon be hearing another version on the airwaves as a new studio recording pairing Carrie and Randy arrives at country radio next week. A digital single of that recording will be available for sale at online music providers everywhere to coincide with their American Idol performance.
Mandy Moore Quietly Weds Ryan Adams
Wednesday March 11, 2009
Mandy Moore and rocker Ryan Adams have wed, reps for both stars confirm to Usmagazine.com.
They tied the knot Tuesday in Savannah, Georgia, adds the reps.
The secret wedding should come as no surprise.
After confirming her engagement to Adams in February, Moore said she wanted the wedding to be "less ... of a big deal."
"Hopefully, it can happen and slip by unnoticed by everybody," said the singer, 24, who has dated Adams, 34, off-and-on since March 2008. "I guess we have to be sort of sneaky about it, but I'll see what I can accomplish."
She added that she has never been "that kind of girl" who obsesses over her wedding day and added that she hadn't even thought about a dress.
"I kind of feel like, because I've been able to get married in a few films, I kind of got the whole giant wedding fuss out of my system," Moore said.
In April's Marie Claire, Moore calls Adams "a good egg. I'm in awe of him -- his brain, his passion. He's truly one of a kind."
So it has been almost 2 weeks since my last blog, to be honest, work has been crazy and I just haven’t had the time or inclination to update. That being said I couldn’t let the day go by without acknowledging Carrie’s Birthday. She turned 26 today!!! Over at her fan club their are a bunch of threads celebrating Carrie’s birthday, unfortunately she hasn’t commented on any of them, but oh well… I figured this should be an all Carrie post, so here are all the top 5 Carrie happenings in the last 2 weeks that I haven’t blogged about.
1. Carrie performed at the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday. With Carrie not touring this year, this was one of the few chances to see her perform live, and I did not go… The story behind that is too long and boring… Even though I didn’t go, here are some great pictures and video that I found.
2. At an event in Nashville last week Carrie received a plaque certifying 10 million albums sold in the US. Not bad for only 2 albums in 4 years.
3. Carrie’s album “Carnival Ride” was nominated for best album of the year for the ACM awards!!!!
4. Carrie is the cover girl for this week’s Country Weekly magazine. It is an interesting article and interview…
5. Carrie is part of a new campaign celebrating 20 years of Badgley Michka fashions. Carr joined several big stars like Eva Longoria, Brooke Shields, and Lauren Hutton for the fashion campaign.
