There are people who can sing and then there’s those who can sing. Carrie Underwood can sing. Even when sick with a man-talking-voice (as she was in concert), she still belted it out amazingly.
I love the environment and culture of country music. And, its fans are fun. Case in point: the couple seated behind us. The guy was way more into it than his lady friend. He sang/yelled lovingly and unashamedly along with Carrie on most songs. My favorite part was during the picture slideshow accompanying “Mama’s Song.” At the end was a photo from Carrie’s wedding with her husband, NHL player Mike Fisher. When that photo came on-screen, we heard an anguished, “Nooooooo! I’m so jealous, I love yoooooouu, Carrrriiie! Ugh, and I hate the Senators.”
And, Carrie herself– so sweet. I like that we’ve been able to follow her story since getting to know her as a simple-girl-next-door during American Idol six years ago. From Oklahoma, grew up on a farm, college girl, never been on a plane until flying to Hollywood Week. And now, you can tell how grateful she is for all her success as she still constantly references her ordinary beginnings and AI breakthrough in interviews, accepting awards, in concert, etc.
One of my favorite AI moments was when Carrie didn’t understand she was being complimented. “Hey little mama, you knocked it off the box?” Hahaaa. If you don’t want to watch the whole clip, fast forward to mark 1:10.
