Carrie at Macy's Thanksgiving parade!

Here are the screencaps (credit Mariah of carriefans.com)







Carrie was absolutely adorable at the parade! She certainly looked like she enjoyed being bundled up in the winter clothes! I cant believe how this girl can look hot (at the CMAs red carpet) and then look so cute like this! I think I prefer the cute look!

Carrie on the Today Show!

First of all, let me rant about the today show... its a mind-numbing 3 hour crap show that airs every weekday from 7-10 on NBC. Heres the 2 biggest sections of the show: the ads, which take up at least an hour of the program, and the weather, which takes up 30 mins IMO. Other 'memorable' parts of todays today show included how to cook a turkey and make picture frames.

Now onto the real (and only) highlight, the amazingly talented Miss Carrie Underwood. They did a short interview with her and she performed Jesus take the Wheel at around the 1.5 hour mark. The band today was awesome, and the backup singers for once complemented her excellently.

Then, to end the show, Carrie sang Some Hearts. Ok, if u check my reviews, Im not the biggest fan of Some Hearts. However, carrie continues to amaze me as i was totally blown away by her performance, even better than Jesus take the Wheel! She really is a hundred times better live than recorded. She hit all the glory notes superbly, Im just simply out of superlatives to describe this amazing girl. And she is suffering from a sinus! WOW!

Some Hearts Album Review!

OK, the eagerly anticapted album is out... and its an awesome production! Carrie sung her heart out, and her awesome, sweet, powerful voice is showcased in these songs. Most of the songs are also beautifully written. Kudos to the production team. To be honest, Carrie exceeded my expectations. Most of the songs are really contemporary and anyone who doesnt like country would not have any problems loving this.

Stand out tracks:
- Don't Forget to Remember Me: OMG when i first heard this song, the lyrics really struck my heart as it reminded me much of my own experience when I left home for college. 3 lines really hit me:
1)"Momma kept on talkin’ puttin’ off goodbye". Yes my mom kept talking and never really was ready to say goodbye.
2)"here’s a Bible if you ever lose your way". my mom is a great Christian woman, and she was definitely most concerned about my spiritual life away from home. its amazing that these were the exact words she used when she handed me a bible when i was packing
3)"Just like every Sunday I called Mama up last night. And even when it’s not I tell her everything’s all right". yea i dun call her on sundays, but its true that i dun really burden her with my problems. whats the point making her worry? everytime when she asks me how are things going, i'll say theyre going pretty good, even when they ARENT.
This song will forever have special place in my heart. I feel as if Carrie performed it for me.

- Jesus Take the Wheel: the first single to be released to country radio and wow what a message. It's about a woman who is losing control of her vehicle and doesnt know what to do and ends up leaving her life in God's hands. Amazing message for everyone, Christian or non-Christian. This is the kind of song that will help people when they are facing difficult times. I know it has for me. Whenver things go rough for me and i hear Carrie's angelic voice singing this wonderfully written song, I feel serene.

- Wasted: Another great song with a great message. its about leavings one's demons behind and starting life anew. Im not sure if the song writers meant it this way, but looking deeper into it, I find this also has a great Christian message; about accepting Christ and thus leaving the demons of the past behind and starting life with Jesus when you accept him as your saviour. Amazing, rangy song; reminds me of the type that Martina McBride would do. Great powerful chorus. Super.

- Before he Cheats: this one, I believe will be a great radio hit! its a real sassy song about a girl wrecking her boyfriends car because she thinks he is cheating on her. i never imagined Carrie would ever say the words "bleached blonde tramp", "white trash version of shania karaoke" i had a good laugh. Do read Carrie's disclaimer on her bio on the arista nashville website. She doesnt condone these actions! Although this is a fun song, i cant place it higher than the previous 3.

- I ain't in Checotah Anymore: this is the most country of all the songs. I like the fiddle in it! its a great bouncy song about her living in NYC and missing her home. Cute lines like "My hotel in Manhattan Holds more people than our town" and "what I just paid for dinner Would be a down payment on a house" make it such a cute song. It reminds me of a song by the great Alan Jackson "Where i come from".

OK. these are my top 5. Most of the other tracks are awesome as well. They chose songs that would be able to showcase her wonderful vocals.
If i had to name my bottom 3 tracks, they would be "Inside Your Heaven", "We're Young and Beautiful" and "Some Hearts".

Carrie Underwood Fantasizes About Taking A Bat To Her Man's Car

from http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1513120/20051107/index.jhtml?headlines=true

Carrie Underwood selected songs she could relate to for her debut album ... with one exception.

"I have to add this disclaimer," she said with a chuckle of "Before He Cheats." "It's actually about a girl that is at home and she's thinking about stuff that her boyfriend is probably doing. And she's thinking about him being at some bar with some girl and she gets really angry and she goes outside and destroys his mode of transportation. Which is something I would never do, but it's really fun to sing about. I know it would be so fun. She takes a baseball bat to it and everything. That would be awesome!"

"Before He Cheats" will be included on Some Hearts, due November 15. Underwood, the reigning "American Idol" champ (see "'Did He Just Call My Name?' — Carrie On Her Big Win"), has written her own material before, but recruited pros for the songs on her first album.

In fact, before leaving on the American Idols Live Tour this summer, "Idol" creator Simon Fuller organized a songwriter's retreat in Nashville, where Underwood got to know those who would be writing for her.

"We wanted them to actually write songs for me instead of writing songs and me listening to them," Underwood said. "I just kind of bounced around from room to room and they'd play me what they were coming up with. It was really great just because I got to meet them and hang out with them and they learned a lot about me, so the songs were definitely more treated to me. Writing is something that I'm very interested in doing, and I think it was really good for me to be around them to see the process that they go through to write."

One of the first songs to come out of the retreat was "Jesus, Take the Wheel."

"Everybody was kind of like, 'You gotta hear this song, you gotta hear this song,' and everybody seemed to like it, so when I heard it I was like, 'Oh yeah, I definitely love this song, too,' " Underwood said. "We decided to make that the first one I was gonna record and it turned out so well that we wanted to make it the first single."

"Jesus, Take the Wheel" is straight-up country, but not all of Some Hearts is a boot-skootin' boogie.

"Because of my exposure on the show I can't really help but appeal to other people than just country-music listeners," Underwood explained. "I am a country music artist first and foremost, but we were trying to hopefully appeal to many different people. And some songs turned out more country than we thought they would and some turned out a lot more new contemporary. I think it all sounds good together."

Underwood's been recording the album in Nashville, where "Idol" runner-up Bo Bice is also in the studio (see "Bo Bice Working With Ben Moody, Members Of Nickelback, Bon Jovi, Skynyrd For LP"), although the two are not collaborating as they did on tour this summer.

"He's also trying to get his album done and everything, so right now it's not panning out, but you never know," she said. "I think that would be a good idea."

As for working in Nashville, "I was a little worried at first going there that people might kind of look at me skeptically just because I came from a Hollywood show," Underwood said. "But everybody is so great and working hard to make sure that we really do something big with this."

Underwood is currently shooting a video for "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and will make several promotional appearances later this month.

"I haven't done this before so I'm just trying not to screw up too bad," Underwood said.
