Carrie Underwood Artist Information
A shy, college girl majoring in broadcast journalism had no idea what life had in store for her when she tried out for American Idol in 2005. Months later, Carrie Underwood was the 2005 American Idol and has been a force on the charts since then.
Audiences loved her voice and down-to-earth attitude. Even Simon, the sometimes too-honest judge on Idol predicted during the season that not only would she win but out-sell all previous winners. Indeed, both parties were right as her debut album was the top-selling female country disc in 2005. She has had numerous singles reach the top of the charts in both the country and pop categories, had both albums she has released to date top the country charts and one of those top the Hot 200 Chart, and has won numerous Grammy, CMT, American Music and Billboard awards.
Through it all Carrie Underwood has maintained her quiet and humble attitude, performing for U.S. troops overseas in Iraq. Astonishingly, in the midst of all the activity in 2005 when she won American Idol and released her debut, she finished her degree and graduated Magna Cum Laude in May 2006!
