The Beauty of Song, Part Two: Country singer Carrie Underwood

Here's yet another blonde country and western singer.

(You got a problem with that? I didn't think so! :-D)



Originally from Oklahoma, Carrie Underwood won the 2005 competition on the television singing contest "American Idol," and she represents what the show is at its best and what it's supposed to be about - finding musical talent that otherwise wouldn't get a break.

After winning that competition, her single "Jesus Take The Wheel" catapulted to number one on the Billboard country charts.

Most of her singles, which include "Don't Forget To Remember Me," "So Small, and "All-American Girl," have been Top Forty pop hits - nine of them have either hit number one (six in a row at one point!) or number two on the country charts, all in a period of four years.
