The best singer I think to come from American Idol, Carrie Underwood amazed me yet again with a performance like the one below. Caught it in an email, and yeah, I was working Friday last week as usual, and probably wouldn’t have had the TV on anyway, but apparently there was an awards show broadcast that night.
Can you believe this? The girl from American Idol in the company of the likes of Martina McBride, Loretta Lynn, Reba McIntyre, and The Judds?
From only getting started in 2005, look at where she is so far;

Okay, I’m not really a “fan” exactly, but I did click around after seeing the video below and was blown away at how far she’s come. It’s not hard to see why;
