Carrie Wins Big at CMT Awards; 'Idol' Goes Country
It’s time to mount up as the CMT Awards and “American Idol” prove country is king on primetime TV!
“Extra” was with country beauty Carrie Underwood in Nashville before the big awards show, where she denied rumors that she’s getting hitched to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.
“No, I’m so not getting married,” Carried told us
The blonde bombshell had everyone talking after she rocked the stage in a pair of metallic silver hot pants and a rousing rendition of her hit, “Before He Cheats.”
Before the night was through, Underwood also stormed the stage to take home top honors for “Video of the Year” and “Female Video of the Year.”
After she graciously accepted the awards, Carrie headed backstage to OK magazine’s exclusive photo room to open up about how “American Idol” changed her life.
“During ‘Idol’ it was pretty crazy; before then I was just your typical college student... ate a lot of ramen noodles,” she admitted.
As for that “A.I.” contestant currently stirring controversy, Sanjaya, Carrie revealed she likes his happy-go-lucky attitude.
“He seems very unfazed by a lot of the negativity,” she said.
“Extra” also got reaction from former “Idol,” Kellie Pickler, who said, “I think he’s a sweet kid. When I was there a few weeks ago he was very nice.”
Sanjaya and the rest of the contestants will be under the guidance of guest mentor Martina McBride on Tuesday night’s show.
“I don't usually get nervous. Performing on live television, however, is a different story,” McBride admitted. “I'll kind of... whew... breathe a sigh of relief when it's over.”
Don’t miss out on “American Idol’s” country music fun, Tuesday night on FOX!

I WATCH AMERICAN IDOL EVERY YEAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE VOTES FOR THE BLUES OR SOUL SINGERS.CARRIE MADE IT THROUGH TWO YEARS AGO WITH COUNTRY AND I WAS SO GLAD BUT THEN HERE COMES TAYLOR HICKS WHICH I COULD NOT STAND.DAUGHTRY SHOULD HAVE WON IT. BUT HE IS STILL DOING BETTER THEN HICKS WILL EVER DO. YOU HEAR MORE ABOUT THE ONES WHO DIDN’T WIN THEN YOU DO ABOUT HIM.WHEN THE OTHERS WERE GOING PLATIUM HE WAS JUST PUTTING OUT HIS FIRST CD.THAT SHOULD TELL US SOMETHING. I THINK BLAKE LEWIS SHOULD WIN THIS YEAR.IT SEEMS AS IF THE ONE WHO STANDS OUT ALWAYS WINS AND WITH HIS BEEBOP SOUND AND STYLE IS A 100% WINNER WITH HIS CD’S GOING OFF THE CHARTS BEYOND #1. HE WILL BE AROUND FOR A VERY LONG TIME.BUT THEN ANYONE THAT MAKES TO THE FINAL 6 IS GOING TO DO GOOD. YOU KNOW THEIR PHONES ARE RINGING LONG BEFORE IDOL IS OVER SO IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO WINS CUZ THEY ALL WIN.GO BLAKE GO.
