In the July issue of InStyle magazine,
Carrie Underwood talked about how she is inspired by the true pioneers of country music. "In country music, we remember the people who came before us: Singers like
Tammy Wynette,
Patsy Cline,
Dolly Parton. It is awesome for me to have a chance to honor them -— they are the reason I'm here! Growing up, I listened to their old 45s on our record player all the time. It was great to see strong women doing so well -— and to know it was possible to become like them."
Underwood lists her five favorite songs as:
1. "Crazy" by Patsy Cline
2. "Walkin' After Midnight" by Patsy Cline
3. "Stand by Your Man" by Tammy Wynette
4. "Jolene" by Dolly Parton
5. "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton
In the same issue of the magazine,
Kelly Clarkson did a photo shoot with
Aero-
smith's
Steve Tyler. You can watch a video of the shoot on the
magazine's Web site.
JOSH GRACIN PERFORMS FOR THE TROOPS
According to
AmericanIdol.com, former Marine
Josh Gracin will tour the Persian Gulf this summer in support of our troops overseas. Josh will leave his wife and three children at home in Nashville to play shows and spend time with the troops stationed throughout the Persian Gulf. The overseas tour is sponsored by MWR and Stars for Stripes.
"It means a lot to me to do this," said Josh. "As a former Marine it's important for me to give back to our men and women in uniform. I hope these shows can help them to escape for just a moment and bring a little piece of home to our folks serving overseas."
VINCE CLARKE: IDOL NOT MUCH TO DO WITH MUSIC
In an interview with Camp,
Vince Clarke of the group
Erasure was asked:
What are your thoughts on American Idol or Pop Idol? Would you ever perform on a show like that? No. I mean, I think it's entertaining but it's not much to do with music. It's more to do with personality and being famous, you know? It would be great if all the artists wrote their own songs. That would be interesting.
BOXERS? BRIEFS? NAH, BLAKE GOES COMMANDO
I thought I had solved the mystery of Bothell "Idol"
Blake Lewis' underwear when someone called in a hot tip about spotting boxers in his luggage. Au contraire, writes
Seattle Times columnist Pamela Sitt. "I thought I'd let you know that Blake does not actually wear boxers OR briefs," writes Tracy from Albany, N.Y. To prove it, she even sent me a YouTube link — of Blake talking about going commando, not actual video of him being commando, and thank goodness because this is a family newspaper. "I guess his owning boxers is kind of like my owning a treadmill," Tracy went on. "You bought it, you meant to use it, but somehow ... "
Actually, the video originated on AmericanIdol.com, where it doesn't carry the faint imprint on the video of the person who mounted it on YouTube.com. So either watch
the original version (preceded by a 15 second Coca-Cola spot), or the YouTube one here:
