The 49th Annual Grammy Awards will be held live on Sunday, February 11, 2007 on CBS (check your local listings for station and time); once again an American Idol alum has been nominated. American Idol season four winner Carrie Underwood has been nominated in two categories; the prestigious Best New Artist as well as Best Female Country Vocal Performance for her song “Jesus, Take the Wheel”.
In addition to her nominations, Underwood will also be performing live during the telecast. In a Grammy press release they called Underwood a “country superstar”; she is in great company with Christina Aguilera, Mary J. Blige, Ludacris, and Justin Timberlake also slated to perform.
If Underwood wins she’ll be able to add the Grammy awards to her shelf alongside her Country Music Award for Female Vocalist of the Year. Fans might remember the fiasco with Faith Hill saying “WHAT?” as the cameras went to her for reaction after announcing that Underwood won.
Idol fans look back to the 48th Annual Grammy awards when season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson received Grammy awards for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album. Not all of the American Idol winners have gone on to reach such amazing success as Clarkson and Underwood; it will be exciting to see what heights the season six winner will be able to achieve.
