Thoughts anyone?

I love the song and video. I prefer her more dramatic songs. The UK press are talking about the video so I can see her back overseas again doing promo.

(Reuters) - Country singer Carrie Underwood said on Wednesday she is going "Unplugged" for the VH1 music series and will share the story of her rise to fame from "American Idol" to five-time Grammy winner for the TV show "Behind the Music."

Underwood, 29, told VH1's morning show "Big Morning Buzz Live" that she would record the stripped-down music session later this week in New York.

"VH1 Presents: Carrie Underwood Unplugged" will premiere on October 2 and will feature songs from her latest album "Blown Away" and past hits.

The "Jesus, Take the Wheel" singer will also be profiled in the cable network's documentary series "Behind the Music" later this fall.

Underwood has sold more than 15 million albums since winning TV singing competition "American Idol" in 2005, making her the best-selling "Idol" contestant in the United States.

"Blown Away", released in May, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Awesome!! Thanks Gary.

[Gary]

No problem. Setlist apparently:

She did "Good Girl", "Before He Cheats", "Do You Think About Me", "Fix You" and "Blown Away".

Seems a bit short...

Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away" dips from #30 to #31 in its eighth week. The song tops the 1 million mark in digital sales this week. It's Underwood's 10th million-seller

That was his first kiss

[Gabe]

Hahahaha! That was really sweet of her. That kid will forever be able to brag about it... Carrie Underwood was my first kiss. Lucky little fuck.

"How are we going to do this?"
"Lip to lip!"

HAHA!!!!!

Blown Away (song) went Platinum this week. This is her 11th platinum single.

The song is also on its second week at #1 on Country airplay, which would mean it would also be on its second week at number one on the Billboard country chart, but since they fucked that chart over adding pop airplay and digital sales to it, she is stuck at #3 behind Taylor's WANEGBT (which will probably be #1 for endless weeks to come) and her other single RED at #2.

I know I shouldn't hold it against Taylor, it's not her fault, but I can't help but feel the need to want to burn her music.
