Over two million idiots clicked on Youtube to watch Carrie Underwood belt out "How Great Thou Art". I was one of them. Apparently this performance brought tears to eyes and ridiculously long standing ovations at the Grand Ol' Opry. Carrie Underwood, the American Idol winner. What a sweetheart don't you think? This is the "Jesus Take The Wheel" chick. Seriously I have made fun of that song while driving so many times I'm surprised my insurance rates haven't spiked. She's so pious, so humble, so modest and prim. A really freaking Puritan good girl, dressed like a dime store whore meets Solid Gold Dancer.
I don't think we've given enough attention to the fabulous world of pop/country crossover whatever it is. We certainly have not written enough about Carrie. See Carrie, like Taylor are darlings sweeter than Georgia peaches. Airbrushed and glossy prom queens with double sided tape cleavage. and they sing about booze, a fuck and the mighty God. A formula that has been in place for as long as hayseeds have lived in trailer parks.
But wait there are Urban Cowboys too aren't there? Many 'hip' gals 'love' country and lots of "real' men 'relate' to it.
I'm here to tell you I would rather lick the hinges of a Tupelo brothel than listen to this crap and as a practicing Christian I'm pretty damn sure God is grossed out too. 'Cept maybe her pappy is a preacher man.
Two million people tuned in to here the phlegm in the deep of her throat rattle. Listen close you can hear it, or is that 2 packs of Luckys from her shirt pocket? See you can puff and powder but simply said its all the same.
I have said many times that whatever the media spoon feeds you, you will like. And just as William Hungs 'She Bangs" and Rebecca Blacks "Friday" became youtube success so is this bucket of vomit. So go tell some friends it gave you goose bumps and how you cried at its angelic beauty, I'm gonna go crank the "Sympathy For The Devil", at least The Rolling Stones dont pretend to be good.
