Re: CARRIE UNDERWOOD - BLOWN AWAY THREAD

Really like this and the last single. Wasn't pushed on Good Girl.

[Gabe]

Good Girl would've appealed more with a better video. Loved the song though.

Best Solo Country Performance: Carrie Underwood- "Blown Away"
Best Country Song: "Blown Away"


Carrie's Grammys total goes up to six. It would be seven if she hadn't lost to Taylor Swift in 2009. I still can't wrap my head around how "White Horse" beat out "Just A Dream" in a VOCAL category. It would be like Kelly Clarkson losing a vocal category to Kesha.

Wow. She has one of the most consistent discographies among all ex-Idol contestants. I think she has surpassed Kelly in the US in terms of sales.
