Songwriters: Hillary Lindsey, Steve McEwan, Gordie Sampson I?ve been more than critical of Carrie Underwood?s bombastic vocals on Carnival Ride, but, as I noted in my review of that album, there is one song on which Carrie?s performance really works, and that?s ?Just a Dream,? Carnival Ride?s deserving fourth single. Deserving not only because of its intrinsic quality, but because it?s a song that needs to be examined outside of the confines of an album on which it unfairly blend

Billy Dodson is trying to prove it ain?t over until the fat lady sings. She?s singing alright. Just not well. Sharon wants him to sing like a man. Alexandra Pyles? introduction makes me think she?ll be driving a monster truck or something. Instead, she proceeds to kick the crap out of her father. Now that?s entertainment. Piers likes her but doesn?t believe she can win. He says no, but Hasselhoff says yes. After hearing that she plans to beat up more people than just her father, S

"Just A Dream" is Carrie Underwood's next official single. The video will soon be released, here are some videos stills and an audio of "Just A Dream". The song is a slow and sad country balad, but it really works for Carrie. Listen to "Just A Dream" What do you think of "Just A Dre

The list of artists with the most airplay from the first half of 2008 is topped by Kenny Chesney, with Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley and Rascal Flatts rounding out the top five. After more than a decade with Epic Records, Patty Loveless is going indie with the September 9th release of Sleepless Nights?her interpretation of 14 country classics, including: ?Why Baby Why,? ?He Thinks I Still Care? and ?Cold Cold Heart.? The Houston Chronicle?s Joey Guerra says with the

The Brain Leak (Week of 6/30/08 - 7/6/08) As displays of symbolic patriotism mark the skies and BBQ grills stoke the flames of tradition across the country during the venerable holiday weekend, the Leak firmly adheres to its original commitment of never taking a day off. In such spirit, it is with no regrets that I forgo the three-day weekend to bring you material so liberating and self-evident in its salaciousness that it can be described only as totally and completely American.

Apparently, even those with the gambling jones are impacted by the recession and/or the high price of gasoline. What else is there to make of Foxwoods' recent announcement that it has laid off 100-200 workers? (Information taken from an article in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.) Meanwhile, the other Connecticut casino - Mohegan Sun - is cutting a similar number of positions through attrition. Sure, both Foxwoods and Mohegan still employ upwards of 10,000 each, but this sho

Tommy Stanley and Pearl Heart are eliminated tonight. I?m watching the tail end of American Gladiators while I?m waiting for Nashville Star. WTF!?! Two contestants are going to be eliminated tonight. In other words, the network is cutting episodes because this show?s ratings are dire. Melissa Lawson and Tommy Stanley are asked to step forward. One of them is the top voter, and will be performing. The other, will be eliminated. It better be Tommy who is going home? More After t

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Keith Urban?s in-laws arrived in Nashville over the weekend to help the baby make her debut. And now that daughter Sunday Rose has arrived, Urban will likely give wife Nicole Kidman the $73,000 Cartier ring he reportedly bought her. The Houston Chronicle is proud of Texans Gabe Garcia and Melissa Lawson, two contestants on this season?s Nashville Star. Before she cheats? Joe (we don?t even know his last name), the R&B singer, has a new video

I recently received the July 2008 edition of Cosmopolitan as a joke for my birthday, and I thought that it would be interesting to examine it from a feminist perspective. This is what I found: The Cover: Carrie Underwood. Well, at least she?s dressed. Better than most covers, where the women look like they are "dressed" for men?s magazines. Also the cover says ?man? ?he? or ?guy? seven times but ?women? or ?she? only once. After the credits, we have the ?Cosmo Beauty Coupons!? OMGZ!

Anybody know this girl? That's right, it's Carrie Underwood. The sweet, unnasuming young lady that won herself an American Idhole. Now she's gone from a sweetie to a slutty just like that. I guess it's what popularity and a honking huge paycheque gets you. She's got two popular songs. In the first, she uses her roll model status to show all the young ladies how not to be the bigger person. Apparently, her boyfriend goes on a date with another woman, and that earns his expensive v

Jessica Simpson has been in the news a lot lately. To begin with, she released a country album. Which I think is her true calling. And always has been. Rather than being a mediocre film, tv, and pop-star. Homegirl has a real shot at being a huge country star. If she could only live down the obvious comparisons to Carrie Underwood. Which brings us to the next story about Jessica. She was seen traipsing through the airport with her on-again off-again beau Tony Romo who just happens
