Today Imma be writing about Oklahoma! The fantabulastic artist I've chosen is Carrie Underwood (a personal favourite of mine).
Carrie Underwood was born on the 10th of March 1983 in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Her career kicked off after she won the 4th season of the singing show, American Idol. Simon Cowell, one of the judges at the time, marked her as a favourite to win - a tribute to the incredible talent she possesses. Out of all the country albums released, her debut album Some Hearts was the highest selling debut album released by a solo female, ever! So far Carrie has had 14 number one hits!
Carrie has a more girl-next-door style than Lambert and her music leans more toward country pop. However, she has released a few songs which tread the line between country and rock. Her voice is really versatile and can adapt to practically any genre of music and she has often been credited for her powerhouse vocals. Underwood has, for 7 years, hosted the CMA awards with fellow country crooner Brad Paisley. In 2011 the two released Remind Me , a song about a married couple seeking to regain the passion they held at the beginning of their marriage. The song has been certified x2 platinum and received 3 awards.
Underwood was the first I heard of country music and it's not hard to see, or hear, when you look at her performances, just why I fell in love with it.
