From her beginnings as an American Idol champ (she can relate to Scotty McCreery) to her multi-platinum country success (including duets with Randy Travis and Brad Paisley) to her recent foray into acting ("Soul Surfer"), Carrie Underwood covered a lot of ground (a gospel album?) during Monday's (June 5) Superstar Q&A at the Billboard Country Music Summit. Scotty McCreery beat out Lauren Alaina to win title; concert helped Taylor Swift earn $750,000 for victims One of the most eligible bachelor in America is 31-year-old professional football player Tony Romo.

During the season finale, Lauren's personal song [...] Music industry executives tell me that they'd be stunned if Universal Music can turn _American Idol's _new winner Scotty McCreery into a big enough star to set him up for a long-term career. The teenager is seen as a likable country music performer who could have a few hits if he's paired with catchy tunes and a shrewd producer. But they say that he didn't display the charisma, vocal dexterity or strong point of view that singers typically need in order to endure or broaden their appeal to the pop market. McCreery's limitations will become more obvious as he tries to compete with compelling country music hitmakers including Taylor Swift, Sugarland, Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban -- and _Idol_'s Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood. True, the weekly appearances on television's most popular show have made McCreery a household name.

The ratings this season have been at worst only slightly down from last year, and on some weeks, they have been up substantially; a feat almost without precedent for a TV show in its tenth year (that's 80 years in Earth time), let alone one which has just lost its iconic star… > > [However] we might very well mark Season 10 as the year Idol's glass ceiling was cemented in place. It's hard to say exactly how many clinical trials one would need to prove the theorem that good looking white males are the only category with any chance of win, but four lab tests seems ample. For the show's first ... A-list singers came out of the woodwork for last night's season finale of "American Idol.' Beyonce, Tim McGraw, Lady Gaga, Carrie Underwood, Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, Kirk Franklin, Gladys Knight and even judge Steven Tyler.... Lauren Alaina may have lost "American Idol" -- but she still feels like a winner after singing with Carrie Underwood.
