I am new to these boards but I am just amazed by the petty bashing and crazy subjects that people spend pages on, arguing over immogen heaps frogs and whether carrie was supposed to hug her on route to her 30 second time alotment to give an acceptance speech for the biggest award of her career. Talk about sweating small stuff! First kelly clarkson is bashed for not thanking idol, now carrie is bashed for thanking idol..? seems that some of you are just never happy either way. AS for carrie being an alleged diva-- that joan rivers comment was downright defamation, and carrie should sue (the part about the marks on her knees on fashion police). I am beginning to realize that it;s true what they say- the more successful you become, the more enemies you make--- because people are so jealous they will make up crap about you if there is a lack of scandels or bad things to say. I have met carrie at a concert and she was the real deal- not a diva at all- but the sweethear she portrays. She has also handwrote me thank you notes that she personally wrote-- she has also emailed me at her fan site and she is a sweetheart. I just do not get what is up with people--- are you going to bash her for the way she drank her water after her performance nex? or for failing to thank you personally despite the fact that she only gets 30 seconds to talk? wow.

interesting that both quotes come from the same person eh?!
IMO people should be able to say what they want...good/bad or indifferent....without being told they disgust people.....
I'm currently reading the 2006 grammy thread again cuz I wasn't here when that show aired and it's really amazing the difference....people said some pretty snotty things about other artists yet there aren't any personal attacks that I've seen so far...differing opinions yes...but nothing like I see in this thread with people dogpiling and attacking just cuz someone said another person's favorite came off stiff.
I don't think I've seen anyone say Carrie didn't deserve her awards so I'm not sure what the problem is exactly just because someone saw her in a light that wasn't glowing with glitter and sprinkled with fairy dust we should shut up... see up thread...it's called free speech...

tsharky - this isn't the AI boards where people live in fear of nazi mods. Get used to the idea that the higher she goes the worse it will get and you're going to have to read about it until the end of time.
Whats up with people is that they have a right to their opinion. Ignore it or it will drive you batsh*t crazy. ;)

By the way Carrie posted a new blog thanking the fans for "Making her dreams come true". How dare she not call me out specifically by name! Clearly, she's ungrateful. And why didn't she thank Ruben Studdard? He was the second winner of AI and really opened the door for her. This was also clearly a snub of the Dixie Chicks because she didn't thank Natalie's baby. She's an arrogant anorexic who doesn't know how to show emotion! I'm taking my Some Hearts cd back. You rock The other thing I'd like to add is that carrie was one of the only stars to personally go and get her award per broadcast and she even stayed and cheered on the writers of JTTW whilst they picked up theirs - How many other stars did that? When I was listening on the radio 80% were being collected by the announcer!

NASHVILLE SKYLINE: Carrie Underwood Is Grammy's Big Winner
Dixie Who? The Handwriting Is on the Wall By: Chet Flippo Almost lost in all the furor over the former country music group the Dixie Chicks' domination of the Grammy Awards was another major development. The knee-jerk vote by liberal Grammy members wanting to send the White House and Nashville and country radio a large middle finger about the alleged persecution and martyrdom of the trio also effectively poisoned the well for other deserving artists in the five categories the Chicks swept. In essence, all of the other nominees for album of the year, record of the year, song of the year, country album and country duo or group performance never had a chance. And that includes artists of the caliber of Alan Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Little Big Town, Mary J. Blige, Josh Turner, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Willie Nelson, Gnarls Barclay, Rascal Flatts, the Wreckers and many others. The fact that the Grammys are supposed to be the most prestigious music awards in the world means that they should receive serious consideration and voting. The fact that they most likely did not in this case does not reflect well on Grammy voters or the voting process itself. The fact that there is no way to effectively convince voters to vote for musical excellence -- rather than political vindication -- is unfortunate but is a fact of life. And the voting process cannot confine Grammy voters to vote only within the genres in which they work and are knowledgeable. Another fact of life. One major survivor of the very mixed Grammy Awards evening is a young artist who is pretty much right now the new face of country music, just as the Dixie Chicks are pretty much the old face of country music. Underwood was the first country artist to capture the best new artist award since LeAnn Rimes 11 years ago. (Note to purists: Bobbie Gentry received the award in 1967 and so did Debby Boone in 1977, but neither has been considered a country artist.) Underwood also received the Grammy for best female country vocal performance, and her hit, "Jesus Take the Wheel," was named best country song. American Idol, for better or for worse, is having a major impact on country music. Its pervasive reach into so many audiences and into so many homes means it's almost inescapable. And country music remains this nation's biggest audience, so any artist aspiring to country success can find a magic portal at Idol. That kind of ubiquitous sort of force-feeding means that any Idol performer with genuine talent and a winning personality should be able to capture an audience. The fact that all Idol contestants and winners have not been able to do so is certainly a testimony to the American public's occasional ability to detect and reject crap, unlike the cynical, scheming Idol screeners and judges. Underwood is a testament to the ongoing American star-making myth. One thing I noticed immediately the morning after the awards show in reviewing the media coverage was that Underwood got by far the largest photograph of any Grammy artist -- period -- in the Los Angeles Times' extensive Grammy coverage. She filled up almost half a page in the Times in a glorious color picture. That means her stardust is working. And, sometimes, that's what it's all about. The fact that she survived being thrust into performing not her own material but an odd tribute to Bob Wills and Don Henley is an indication of her survivor skills. Rascal Flatts, who also performed during the Henley tribute, were even more ill-suited to the material than she was and did not emerge as well as Underwood did. But she's proving herself to be a trouper. At this stage, her debut album has sold almost 5 million copies. The Chicks' latest CD is holding at less than 2 million, after their previous releases were at multiples of that figure. In backstage press questioning, Underwood didn't wilt as she refused to be drawn into a Dixie Chicks controversy about who was giving the finger to whom. I couldn't make this up, but this is what she said when asked about the Chicks "giving the finger" to the country music establishment: "Next question, please. I don't like talking about anyone giving the finger." Well, all right. That's refreshing in an age of increasing vulgarity. It also shows a lot more grace and class than Natalie Maines' clueless and rude invoking of the Simpson's "heh-heh" in her little country Grammy acceptance speech. Does it sound like I like Carrie Underwood? Well, I do. I think she's genuine and charming. Her style is emerging, and she will grow into the mature artist that she is not yet. But at this stage in her career, I can see a bit of Reba and Dolly in her, and I think that says much about her. CMT

^^^ This article was posted several days ago in Carrie's thread and sadly the author appears to be using Carrie's well-earned success as a tool to put down the DC, rather than to focus on Carrie's BIG night at the Grammy's.
