and fisch, try to keep comments from Kelly's thread in her thread...mmmmK... where's the mod when you need em? Right here, and well aware of how your tendency towards passive-aggressive commentary might have influenced interpretations of your recent posts in this thread. Given your posting history, it was more likely that the commentary in question -was- in reference to Kelly Clarkson than not. The use of coy allusion as opposed to her name doesn't change that. Having said that, surely those of you posting here are not blind to posting history? If you're interested in having this discussion, fine, but if you find yourself getting irritated because of who you're responding to, it's better not to respond at all. Either let the history-based annoyance go or let the subject go. We don't need another go on the fanwar gerbil wheel.

That would make an awesome siggy! I know you're kidding, but any such sig wouldn't last long here. I don't care how irritating you might find a Pulse poster. Lay off each other. That includes not high-fiving each other after what you think is a funny retort. Just move along. The topic is Carrie Underwood.

Can Christ actually fit on a cracker? I'm just saying. I don't think he can. Maybe the holy spirit can.
I think there was a full month there without the ridiculous fighting. I knew it wouldn't last.
Anyway I'm really looking forward to hearing Carrie's new single especially if she co-wrote it like we've heard. It shouldn't be long now only a few weeks. Maybe we'll get some behind the scenes video pictures again.

www.post-gazette.com/pg/07193/800888-388.stmHILL ON UNDERWOODOne of the few embarrassing moments in Faith Hill's career came during the CMA Awards in November, when the singer was shown somewhat aghast backstage upon losing to Carrie Underwood for Female Vocalist of the Year. Hill dismissed her reaction as a joke and said she would never disrespect another artist. During the interview, she said, " Carrie Underwood is a really talented singer, and I think she has a bright future ahead of her. She definitely has had a great couple of years. She seems like a real artist." Hill also sees "American Idol" as a legitimate path to Idol-hood. "It's not some little talent show. Those kids go through rigorous rehearsals and songs are being thrust upon them that they maybe never would have listened to before and they have to sing them. These kids have got to be really talented and it's up to them after the competition to stay focused and find the direction they really want to be. It's been very successful."

I'm excited for the fan recaps and videos from the Canadian concerts! www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/westcoastlife/story.html?id=f86d1750-bbc1-418e-992e-011fff77d93c- Carrie Underwood is the youngest of Merritt's headlining women, but there's no doubt she can carry her weight. The 24-year-old is an alumna of American Idol, is a double Grammy winner, and has had a string of chart-topping hits in her short career. She's also been named sexiest vegetarian and one of the most beautiful women in music.
Her debut album, Some Hearts, has sold more than six million copies.
There's no question thousands will be singing along to her best-known hit Jesus, Take the Wheel, when she takes the stage Friday night.

Carrie will be the guest co-host on Country Countdown USA with Lon Helton in about a week and a half. Here is the preview from the show's website:
July 21-22: Carrie Underwood co-hosts this week to give us a status report on her highly anticipated second album. She also has stories about Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Kellie Pickler, and Bucky Covington. Plus what are her plans for the rest of the summer? Perhaps a vacation? That's this week on CCUSA.

It's common label parlance to talk about how an album has sold x million copies where x million is the number of albums shipped. The idea is that those albums have been "sold" to stores, though not necessarily yet to individual customers (though it's worth remembering that music club sales are not included in Soundscan tallies). This is done with every artist, particularly when it comes to non-US sales, since Soundscan data isn't tabulated for sales outside of North America.
I've little doubt that SH has shipped more than 6 million copies, especially when the Canadian market is taken into account. Canada.com is merely following common practice in saying that SH has sold more than 6 million copies.
Looking forward to next week's CCUSA! Thanks for the word, thescene!

for those who wonder if I really do like to listen to Carrie and like her music here is my itunes playlist stats on her album as you can see my three favorite songs are BHC, Wasted, and DFTRM!! yeah I know it's common practice...it's always bugged me that certifications are based on shipments and not sales because I feel it's misleading to people who don't know better.

That's this week on CCUSA. Woohoo! As some of you on here may already know, I love Carrie's co-hosting gigs on CCUSA. Lots of never-before-heard stories, a wealth of info, lotsa funny Carrie... what's not to love? :) Thanks for the heads-up on this, thescene! You're always the first one on these CCUSA stuff. Good job! And am I the only one who thinks it's possible she may debut the new single here? After all, she's been deliberately laying low and then this pops up. I vaguely remember some highly anticipated, lead singles being premiered on After Midnite. My memory fails me if this has happened on CCUSA. But, this is taped 2 weeks before airtime, so if it is debut time, then they may have to make some arrangements to prevent leaks. But, if she was to premiere it, one would expect CCUSA to make a big deal out of being the chosen one. But,... oh you get it... hee! ETA: I take it back. She most likely won't debut the new single.

MOD NOTE
Aw, look at all the eyerolling.
It pales in comparison to the amount of eyerolling I'm doing at several of you right now.
ENOUGH. In your attempts to get the last word in, you're only proving how baitable you are, not how clever you are. It is, frankly, self-indulgent of you to keep a stupid personal argument going.
It's obvious that some of you don't like each other. Either get over it, or don't respond to each other. Why anyone would heap attention on someone s/he finds irritating or stupid is beyond me.

Thanks for the head up thescene, I will definetly be listening and capping that broadcast. I'm losing track of how many times Carrie has/will be on CCUSA. They really like her there.

yeah I know it's common practice...it's always bugged me that certifications are based on shipments and not sales because I feel it's misleading to people who don't know better. There is no accurate way to know exactly how many copies of an album is sold, but there is a way to know how many were shipped. It works that way.

what about soundscan? I mean I know that there are outlets that don't report to soundscan but those are the numbers everyone uses as a gauge of sales so why not certifications too? and before anyone says I'm only saying this cuz it's Carrie, I've said the same thing about every artist I like. I don't think ANY of them should be certified based on shipments. I never knew it was on shipments until I started following music more closely and it really irritated me when I found out for some reason. Esp when I see them getting certified and their like 400K or more away from that amount.

guys- do you think carrie will debut her new single when she co-hosts the countdown? It would seem the perfect time- since it is rumored to be released on 7-23. I just don't see any other reason she would be on the countdown....as she has no singles on it right now.

I don't think there will be a preview on CCUSA. I am hoping for a more "grand"venue for the single debut and not on a synicated recorded show. But, I would welcome it because I'm dying for new Carrie stuff.
