American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, was on the Ellen show earlier this week where she talked about a variety of things including her relationship with hockey player, Mike Fisher, and her new album. She looked so pretty!!!

It was amazing to listen to Ellen listing all of the awards that Carrie has won in the four short years since she won Idol. The talk show host talked to Carrie about her experience on the show to glean some insight since Ellen has been named a new judge for the upcoming season.

Watch the interview (the performance is after the jump!)

Allison Iraheta Releases “Friday I’ll Be Over You” Video

Jeanne — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:02:18 +0000

Have you seen the video for Allison Iraheta’s single “Friday I’ll Be Over You” yet? Honestly, I wasn’t completely sold on the song when I first heard it but the music video actually won me over. Maybe it’s just that I’m still stuck in the 80s but I thought it was campy and cheesy and great at the same time.

Here it is. Watch and tell me what you think!

Jordin Sparks Feeling Better After Appendectomy

Jeanne — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:53:00 +0000

When American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks, tweeted that she wasn’t feeling well a few days ago, I figured it was just a case of her catching some bug that would be gone in a few days but the poor girl was far sicker than that!

She tweeted that she needed prayer and then wrote this: “Was struck w/ acute appendicitis…took out that appendix last night. Recovering today & the next week or so.”

She’s been updating that she’s still sore but recovering while she also thanks all of her well-wishes for their warm thoughts. She looks absolutely adorable in this twitpic image that she shared in an update.

She seems to be in good spirits even though she did mention that she can’t go and see New Moon. Soon, Jordin!

Jeanne — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:36:16 +0000

Kellie was dressed down and relaxed so I think any of her fans would love the video. Plus, she talked a little bit about the experience and about life as a performer. Definitely check out this quick, but cute, video!

Kellie Pickler Looks Great as a Redhead

Jeanne — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:57:26 +0000

Kellie Pickler was spotted on the red carpet at the 2009 CMA Awards last night sporting red hair instead of her signature blonde locks. "This is my big reveal, I guess," she says. "Around town, nobody recognizes me. Even my grandpa didn’t know who I was the other day. He walked right by me." She said that country music superstar, Dolly Parton, also didn’t recognize her. "She was like, ‘Well, I didn’t know it was you!’"

I think she looks great as a redhead! Do you like it? Watch the quick video:

Carrie Underwood “Cowboy Casanova” on 2009 CMAs

Jeanne — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 06:42:13 +0000

Carrie Underwood was predictably perfect during her performance at the 2009 CMA Awards last night. She sang “Cowboy Casanova” and danced along to some saucy choreography and I thought it was tasteful but sexy at the same time. She is a great example of how to do a burlesque-type number without looking skanky.

Carrie Underwood Talks to Robin Roberts

Jeanne — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:41:07 +0000

American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, sat down and talked to daytime talk show, Robin Roberts, where she discussed her meteoric rise to fame. If you’re a fan of Carrie’s you are going to love this interview since it really does provide a behind-the-scenes look at her life.

She was absolutely adorable and candid and I am such a sap but this sort of stuff makes me all teary eyed. It was amazing to look at how humble her life was in Checotah (it only had one stop light when she was growing up – it has two now because the town got a Wal-mart). It was also fun to see her do “normal” stuff like beat Robin at bowling.

Watch the great video here:

On November 22, 2009, former American Idol contestant, Syesha Mercado, will be embarking on a national tour of the musical, Dreamgirls.

Syesha has been cast in the role of Deena, which was brought to the big screen by Beyonce Knowles a couple years ago. Of course, Syesha’s fellow Idol alum, Jennifer Hudson, is probably most associated with the film version since she won an Oscar for her magnificent portrayal of Effie White.

Syesha was on the Wendy Williams show last week. Here’s a video of her appearance.

Kris Allen “Live Like We’re Dying” Music Video

Jeanne — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:54:00 +0000

Have you seen the official music video for Kris Allen’s single “Live Like We’re Dying” yet? I really like the song and I think the video was a little cooler than I was expecting. It clearly wasn’t super high budget or anything but I thought the countdown clock in the back was a nice touch.
