Carrie Underwood: 'I Don't Want to Hear Myself Anymore'

Carrie Underwood is proud of her latest album, Blown Away ... she just doesn't want to listen to it anymore! The project debuted at the top of the charts and perched there for five consecutive weeks. While critics and fans alike contend the 14-song CD is her best collection of tunes yet, the Oklahoma native says it's no longer on her playlist.

"In the beginning, when you make the album, you just want to make sure everything's perfect," the 29-year-old superstar tells Australia's "The Morning Show." "So I do listen to it quite a bit in the beginning, and then after that, it's like, 'I don't want to hear myself anymore.' It's weird."

Carrie feels the album, which covers a lot of ground both lyrically and sonically, solidifies her musical identity. "Everybody occupies their own space right now, and that's really cool," she notes. "You have people like Keith Urban (with) more rock influence, a lot of guitar, more musicianship. You have people that are more on the pop contemporary side. You have really traditional country artists, and I feel like I'm somewhere in the middle of all of that. I want to make country music that everybody can like."

Still, the former "American Idol" winner, who wrapped up her Australian tour earlier this week, admits there is a downside to her ongoing success. "I don't get to see my dad too much or go home as much as I used to," she concedes. "That's probably the hardest part. There's so many wonderful things about my life now. Everything is different. My life has done a complete turnabout."

The "Good Girl" singer will hopefully get to spend some time with her family this summer, which includes her husband, professional hockey player Mike Fisher, before she kicks off the North American leg of her Blown Away tour in September. See a complete list of cities and dates on the trek here.

All of you must have a hearing problem. Carrie is beautiful & she is the best female singer today. Carrie can sing all genre's of music. She is a beautiful person both inside & out.. Taylor Swift is one person that can't sing!!!! I do not know why she is ss My Min Pin can o popular. I used to live in Nashville & dated someone in the music business & he along with somg writers could not believe that someone like Swift could have gotten so popular. She sure can't sing!!!!!!!! My Min Pin can sing better than Taylor Swift. Carrie will be around a lot longer. She keeps getting better, like a fine wine.

meow ... sounds like you're a bit green around the edges. Carrie is beautiful with a capital B, talented, and lots of fun to watch in her videos and on stage. So acid-tongue Tammy ... eh, what stations do your songs play on so I can change to another station when they come on?

Wow, now 5 year olds get to comment on here. Is that the best that you can come up with? Ask your mommy next time you want to play on the Internet.
