Carrie Underwood Biography
The first country American Idol, Carrie Underwood grew up in
the small town of Checotah, OK, and began singing with her church at
the tender age of three. Throughout her childhood, she also performed
at functions for the Lion's Club and Old Settlers Day, and eventually
at festivals in several states. Along with developing her singing,
Underwood learned to play guitar and piano. She graduated from high
school as her class salutatorian and majored in mass communication at
Northeastern State College with an eye on a career in broadcast
journalism, but continued her singing career throughout her studies.
As a senior just a few credits short of her degree, Underwood heard
about the auditions for the 2005 season of American Idol. She tried out
for the show at the St. Louis, MO, auditions, and her innocent charm
and pure, pretty voice ended up winning her not only a place among the
12 finalists, but the title of 2005's American Idol. Her debut single,
Inside Your Heaven, was released that summer, and along with appearing
on the American Idols Live! tour, and picking up endorsement deals with
Hershey's and Skechers, she began recording her debut album in
Nashville. Some Hearts was released late that fall and was a smash hit,
selling over 300,000 copies in its first week and eventually going
triple platinum. The album's lead single, Jesus, Take the Wheel, was
also a big success, topping Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart for six
weeks.
Acclaim for the album and single spilled over into 2006, when Some
Hearts re-entered Billboard's Top Ten after Underwood's appearance on
the 2006 American Idol finale and Jesus, Take the Wheel won Single
Record of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards (where she
also won Top Female Vocalist); a Dove Award from the Gospel Music
Association; and Breakthrough Video and Best Female Video at the CMT
Awards, making her the only double winner at the event. Despite her
hectic career as a country music star -- which included carrying her
Some Hearts tour through the fall of 2006 -- Underwood found the time
to finish her degree and become a spokesperson for People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals (who named her 2005's World's Sexiest
Vegetarian). Before He Cheats was released as Underwood's third
single late in 2006, and became her third country number one and her
fourth total number one hit. That December, she won five Billboard
Music Awards: Album of the Year, Top 200 Female Artist of the Year,
Female Country Artist, New Country Artist, and Country Album of the
Year.
Early in 2007, Underwood began work on her second album, while Wasted
became the fourth single taken from Some Hearts; she performed it on an
episode of American Idol that March, and the following month, it hit
number one on the Hot Country Songs Chart. She returned to American
Idol in April as part of the show's Idol Gives Back benefit episode:
Underwood visited South Africa and recorded an acoustic cover of the
Pretenders' I'll Stand by You, which was released exclusively on
iTunes. Underwood won three awards at the 2007 CMT Awards: Video of the
Year, Female Video of the Year, and Video Director of the Year for the
video for Before He Cheats. She also took home three 2007 ACM Awards
in May, which included Album of the Year for Some Hearts and Top Female
Vocalist. She made a third trip to American Idol late in the month for
the sixth season finale, where she sang I'll Stand by You to a
standing ovation. During the show, Clive Davis recognized Underwood's
sextuple-platinum sales; Underwood was the first country artist to sell
that many copies of a debut album since LeAnn Rimes' Blue in 1996. She
also appeared on Brad Paisley's album 5th Gear, which was released in
June 2006. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
