Carrie Underwood Covering Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff”!

Ok, I did NOT see this one coming.

Carrie Underwood covering Limp Bizkit?

Really?

Now, I know the woman can ROCK- I mean, she opened up for Guns N’ Roses a few years back, and she really slayed it. And she’s also a Heavy Metal fan, which I think is awesome.

I just didn’t see her trying to cover Limp Bizkit, but props for thinking outside the cover song box!

Here she is at the Velocity Festival in Dyersville, Iowa, over the weekend:

Well, alrighty then…

She also went on to perform songs from Linkin Park, Collective Soul, and Papa Roach, but her take on Limp Bizkit is what’s getting the most attention.

I love how she cut out the curse words… because, well, Carrie.

I think it would have been cooler to cover “Nookie”…

Anyhow, the performance is getting mixed reactions, but I think it’s fun.

I mean, good for her for doing something different.

Also, I want her legs…

Carrie Underwood and Motley Crue Performing “Home Sweet Home”

Last night was the Season 5087 (or something like that) finale of “American Idol”.

First off, Hannah Harper won it, as she should.

She was definitely my favorite from what I had seen of the show this past season.

During the finale last night, which was 3-hours long, there were loads of specials guests and performances.

The one I was curious to see was Carrie Underwood with Motley Crue, as they were to perform “Home Sweet Home” together.

I’ve been a Crue fan since I was a kiddo, but Carrie is who owned the stage last night:

Poor Vince Neil.

He tried.

I know he’s had health struggles lately, and kuods to him for giving it a go.
But Carrie.

Holy freaking moly.

Girlfriend can ROCK.

Then again, she did open up for Guns N’ Roses on tour a couple of years ago.

Now you see why.

Let’s get a Carrie Underwood rock album out, like, right now.

Also, do you think those chaps are regulation?

Might want to wear them to the next horse show.

I kid.

Carrie Underwood Covering Ozzy’s “Mama I’m Coming Home”

The Rock and Metal community is reeling from the loss of the iconic Ozzy Osbourne, and tributes are everywhere.

As they should be. Dude was a freaking LEGEND.

One performance is making the internet rounds this week is actually a performance that happened a couple of years ago on “The Howard Stern Show” where Country star Carrie Underwood performed Ozzy’s “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and slayed it.

Ok, so maybe she doesn’t rock near as hard as Ozzy, but it’s a pretty cool rendition, and definitely worthy.

I love that Carrie Underwood is a big Rock fan, and can turn it up to 11 when needs to, like when she opened up for Guns N’ Roses on tour recently.

Anyhow, I enjoyed that this morning, and hopefully you did as well.

RIP Ozzy.

There will never be another…

Carrie Underwood Performs “Alone” on “American Idol”

Ok, so I know I’ve sharing a lot of Carrie Underwood performances lately, but she’s so damn good, that I can’t help myself.

Other artists need to be stepping up their game, ok?

Last night on “American Idol”, which, yes, I am watching again sometimes as my 3-year-old son loves it, Carrie Underwood performed Heart’s “Alone” twenty years after her iconic performance on the show when she was a contestant.

And, naturally, she killed it:

Damn.

Aging like a fine wine, physically and vocally.

Remember two decades ago (yes, it’s been that long. Oof.) when she performed it and blew Simon Cowell away?


I remember seeing this live.

Hot damn, she’s come a long way. But even then, she was a star.

Just wanted to throw some CU vocal (and leg) appreciation out there!

Carrie Underwood “How Great Thou Art”

Since yesterday was Easter Sunday, “American Idol” did a 3-hour special called “American Idol: Songs of Faith”, and the performance that’s getting the most attention?

Carrie Underwood’s chill bump-inducing rendition of “How Great Thou Art”:


Woaaahhhh…

I’m not the most religious person on the planet, but that one is taking me right to church!

 

Just wanted to share that with you in case you missed it.

You’re welome.

Carrie Underwood’s talent is unmatched.

Carrie Underwood Joins Papa Roach Onstage for “Last Resort”

Carrie Underwood is your All-American girl next year, just with an incredible set of pipes (and legs)! She usually stays in the Country and Gospel lane, but every now and again, Carrie puts on her rock girl panties and it’s always glorious.

She’s toured with Guns N’ Roses before (talk about legit, right?), and recently joined Papa Roach onstage for a version of “Last Resort”, and she owns it:


Dammit, woman, is there anything she can’t sing?

She also performed the single that she has out with Papa Roach called “Leave a Light On”, and all proceeds from this song go to suicide prevention:

If you weren’t aware of this song, here’s the actual recorded version:

Badass, and for a great cause.

Honestly, a Carrie Underwood rock covers album wouldn’t be a bad idea, am I right?

Let’s make this happen, ok?

Carrie Underwood Performs “America The Beautiful” at the Presidential Inaugration FLAWLESSLY.

In case you’re under a rock or something of the like, you’re aware that today is President Donald Trump’s inaguration.

Look, I’m I’m not here to get into politics. I’m not right or left. I’m just an American. So, if you’re coming here to vent your frustrations, you came to the wrong place.

I love America, flaws and all, and will always do so no matter who is voted in as the leader.

I’m an Army wife, and I take pride in our country and know how good we have it, whether or not you approve of the Coomander-in-Chief.

That being said, Carrie Underwood was tapped to perform “America the Beautiful” at the ceremony, and despite technical issues and the backing track not playing, she immediately sang it A Cappella, and absolutely NAILED it.

Not that I’m surprised. Carrie Underwood is one of the most vocally talented singers out there, and is a total pro and class act.

My favorite part?

Everyone singing along.


Right, left, or in between… you have to admit that was impressive.

Carrie Underwood got so much flack for doing this, and I loved her public statement in response:

“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event. I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

YES to all of that.

America first, America always.

 

Cody Johnson and Carrie Underwood “I’m Gonna Love You”

Country Star Cody Johnson just released a collab with vocal powerhouse Carrie Underwood, and of course, it’s lovely.

The song is called “I’m Gonna Love You”, and it’s just a pure, simple love song:


I have a feeling tha this is going to be a wedding playlist staple…

My family has a wedding venue in West Tennessee called Cogan’s Farm – http://Cogansfarm.com– so check it out!

That’s why I always have weddings on the brain.

Ok, shameless plug aside, is the song anything gorundbreaking?

No. But it doesn’t have to be.

When you have two talents like Cody and Carrie, sometimes keeping it simple and letting the vocals and emotion shine is enough.

In addition, Cody Johnson announced the deluxe version of his latest album “Leather” featuring 13 new songs on November 1st. And in case you weren’t aware, Cody Johnson live is definitely something to see- get tour dates at https://apps.codyjohnsonmusic.com/leather/ and you can catch Carrie Underwood in Vegas with her “Reflections” residency: https://www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com/

Carrie Underwood Covers “A Little Less Talk” at Toby Keith Trubute

Last night, the “Toby Keith: American Icon” tribute aired on NBC, which, of course, honored the late, great Toby Keith who lost his battle with stomache cancer earlier this year.

Country Music’s biggest stars all came out to perform and pay tribute the Country legend, and Carrie Underwood’s version of “A Little Less Talk” and freaking slayed it.


I have to say, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I heard that that was the song Carrie was going to perform, but she nailed it. Her voice is so spectaculary spot on, and really, it sounds like it’s her own song.

Maybe she should release it as a single?

Seriously impressed by her version.

Papa Roach and Carrie Underwood “Leave a Light On”

Papa Roach has teamed up with Carrie Underwood for a stellar version of Papa Roach’s hit song “Leave a Light On (Take Away the Dark)”  to benefit organizations that support suicide prevention, such as  American Foundation for Suicide Prevention which will recieve royalties from the song, as well as 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to raise awareness for the cause.

As I’m sure you’re aware, suicide remains a serious issue in our society, and so many families are affected. As a military wife, I am all too aware of the high suicide rate among veterans. According to the VA, 22 Veterans take their life a day.

A day.

A number I still and will never be able to wrap my mind around.

Kudos to Papa Roach and Carrie Underwood for bringing awareness to such an important cause.

Check out their verison of “Leave a Ligh On” below:

So powerful. And Jacoby Shaddix and Carrie Underwood’s vocals melt together beautifully. I seriously got chills over here.

Just a strong reminder to so many that you are not alone, and there will always be a light on somewhere for you.

If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988, text “STRENGTH” to the Crisis Text Line at 741741 or go to 988lifeline.org.
