Carrie Underwood: Advice for ‘Idol’ Candiadates
December 7, 2009 by m.coonce · Leave a Comment
Carrie Underwood, one of the most successful singers to come out of “American Idol,” has some advice for future “Idol” competitors.
“Any contestant who does well on ‘Idol’ has to stay true to what people voted for,” Underwood recently told reporters in a conference call. “I’ve seen it happen a few times where people are one thing on the show and then they get off the show and try to do something else. That’s really strange because ‘Idol’ is one of those things where [audiences] are telling you what they want. It’s the best testing form that you can possibly have.”
Underwood is set to host the “Carrie Underwood: All-Star Holiday Special,” airing tonight at 8 on Fox. The two-hour variety show will feature music from her new album as well as previous hits, holiday classics, collaborations with guest stars Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley and David Cook and short sketches, including one with Kristin Chenoweth and Christina Applegate.
