Carrie Underwood seems quite happy with her boyfriend, Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher, though she admits she has a lot to learn about his sport. The singer says she might enjoy hockey more if it got a slight makeover."They need to make the puck neon pink, because I'm having a hard time watching TV and following it," she tells Chicago's US99 radio station. "Because I can't see very well anyway, and I don't wear glasses [or] contacts."
Previously linked to Dallas Cowboys quarterback (and Jessica Simpson's current beau) Tony Romo, dating an athlete makes sense for the sports-enthusiast. "I love going to any sporting event anywhere," Carrie says. "I don't care what it is, where it is -- I love it."
Carrie also enjoys watching 'American Idol,' the show that launched her career. And even though she won on the show four years ago, she still harbors some resentment about the experience. Refusing to disclose who she is rooting for this season, she explains, "When I was on there, famous people would come talk about who their favorite was," she says, "and if it wasn't me, I hold a grudge! I still can't watch their TV shows."

Justin Timberlake, December 16, 2006: "I was doing a lot of research on the old Andy Warhol 'Interview' magazine covers, so there's definitely that feel to it. It makes the image more dynamic, that's for sure. This seemed to have that movement."

Carrie Underwood is a very deserving and beautiful singer and young Lady. When she has ever one an award, she never forgets to give Thanks to the "ONE", that gave her the talent.
She never fails to say "Thank God, my Mom and Family. Then she starts will her Record Co., and co-writers.
With the approach she has in live. She will continue to have a place in the Spotlight.
Thank you Carrie.

Guys- c'mon- ignore the Carrie hate. We all know how amazing and genuinely beautiful Carrie is. She has not let becoming famous transform her into a Hollywood (or in this case Nashville) snob; Carrie has used it as an experience to grow within herself and pursue her dream of being an artist. Carrie is one of the most talented female singers in country music, as well as in the country music genre as a whole. She delivers a message when she performs, and that is simply her passion towards what she does. People are just saying rude and negative things towards Carrie just to start online drama with people they have never even seen in person and probably never will. I love you Carrie, you are my hero. You introduced me to country music and I could never thank you enough. Keep on doing what you do best; being the real, incredible musician and individual that you are.

CARRIE ROCKS THE Country! she is amazing on TV and CDs. But if you haven't seen her in concert you are really missing out. Some singers' CDs sound great due to studio audio enhancing techniques. But NOT this girl, as she is even BETTER live! Her last cd has pumped out so many #1 hits I've lost count now! I'm still waiting for"I know You Won't" to be released as a single, that could be an instant crossover-to-pop-radio hit, imho. But good luck with that love life thing! She has been dating the WRONG dudes. Music and Sports guys? She needs to choose better! They are known womanizers... just comes with the groupie-laden "turf" (parden the pun). Tony Romo deserves a airhead like jessica S, not a classy Country lady like Carrie. She should pick some nice non-famous guy, who can tpur the country with her and NOT cheat!

for christs sakes carrie get over yourself if someone famous was on the show and didnt talk about her she holds a grudge who in the hell does this aneroxic looking thing think she is? she aint all that and a bag of chips thats for sure. first of all she aint country she is pop or crossover, second she is too damned full of herself the real ladies of country are the legends lorretta lynn, dolly parton, pasty cline, kitty wells, tammy wynette. those are the ones who pulled themselves out of poverty, went on the road in a bus,dragging their kids with them. carrie got her start singing to the chickens and on a glorified karoke contest called american idol, hell she dont even write her own songs, she isnt an artist she is a mediocre preformer if her oversized head swells anymore her skinny body wont be able to hold it up. and for you bungholes that say anyone who dont like ms underwood are jealous, i can assure you that jealousy isnt my reason for not liking carrie who in their right mind can be jealous of someone who is famous? i dont like carrie because she is fake, her manners are fake she sent a little girl crying because the child asked her for an autograph, as i said carrie get over yourself because lady you aint that damned good you are nothing but a fake corn fed hick take away the designer gowns, the make up, the entourage who do the hair and make up and you will have an average looking too skinny girl. how long will this relationship last with this hockey player? when he gets a little frisky and ms clean pushes him away like tony romo did a man cant live on bread alone carrie he will toss u aside for a woman who meets his needs just like tony

my goodness me me.. are you sure you aren't jessica simpson who is nothinggg compared to Carrie.. that is why her songs are tanking... Carrie is a sweet girl who came from a small town and made it big.. so what? you jealous... take a breath
Hi Chrisat 5-02-2009
Me Me Me:
Hahaha, why don't you just show off your stupidity more? Carrie did not come from poverty? Well, she may not have exactly met the Government standards for poverty but her family was far from well off, ot even in the medium income of this Country. Secondly, Carrie does write a lot of her own music, so get a clue before you write.
I have no problem if you don't liek Carrie's music but everything you wrote is baseless drivel.
Finally, Carrie's comment about not watching any of the celebritie's shows is tongue in cheek, if you piad more attention to her career (instead of making things up) you would have understood that.
Carrie rocks!

RIGHT ON ME ME ME!!!.....YOU HAVE THE GUTS AND BALLS TO SAY WHAT NOBODY WILL...YOU HIT THE HEAD ON THE NAIL, LETS ALL STOP KISSING THESE SO CALLED STARS ASSES AND TELL IT LIKE IT IS. THE REST OF YOU GUYS ARE NO LIFE LOSERS THAT PRAISE THESE #@$%$# *&^&*(

me me me: Sounds like you need to put down your bon-bons, potato chips and (non Diet) coke, as well as your holier than thou attitude. Carrie, if not for American Idol, would probably be a check out clerk at Walmart's. She has remained humble, still loves God and her family and stays out of the spotlight ala Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus. She is also, since you fail to notice: TALENTED.
Your jealousy is unbecoming, your comments about her undeserved.
rphdivaat 5-02-2009
"Me Me Me"...talk about someone who needs to get over themselves! You sound a "tad" bit jealous...
CHERYL KOZYat 5-02-2009

Jealous much, me me me?
Kylieat 5-02-2009
Calm down me me me.. I'm pretty sure she was just joking if you listen to the actual interview. Carrie is so amazing, I'm so happy for her and Mike!
Nicoleat 5-02-2009
me me me you have your facts all wrong. Carrie Underwood is pure country, she's stuck by the genre 100% since her rise to stardom and has refused for anyone to change up her music and make it more 'pop-py'. And if you look at the credits in her booklet for Some Hearts and Carnival Ride you will see she has written many songs, including her hit smash So Small. You should check out Carnival Ride especially because she wrote many songs on that one since she had more freedom. She's also writing a lot more for her upcoming album and taking time with it like a real artist who puts their heart and soul into what they do.
I personally have had the honor of meeting Ms. Underwood 5 times and she is honestly the nicest person I have ever met in my entire life. I've never even heard of a bad experience someone had with her! But it's not uncommon for celebrities to want privacy! Many people just walk by fans but Carrie is known for signing for many people after her shows and in public places. She is so nice to everyone and is ALWAYS so thankful to her fans! Everyone deserves privacy and to be left alone by photographers and ot her people every once in a while though so I understand it when celebrities try to avoid them! She is not fake at all and I have no idea what would give you that idea. She is so graceful, modest and humble on camera and off.
