Carrie Underwood Opens Up to Robin Roberts

Posted: October 30th, 2009 at 10:18 am  |  By: Alison Bonaguro  

Carrie UnderwoodYou have to wait 12 more days until the actual special premieres on Nov. 10. But right this minute you can get some very cool behind-the-scenes interview footage from In The Spotlight With Robin Roberts on ABC. She went down south to get the inside scoop on Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw and more. But in a special section on their Web site today are great mini-clips with plenty of stand-out moments. Like Underwood telling Roberts, "I remember the day people started treating me differently. You say to yourself, 'I'm thirsty,' and somebody brings you water." And then McGraw giving Roberts a tour of his 900-acre farm and the big old house where he and his Dancehall Doctors rehearse. Then she even gets a few stars to sing bits of their favorite country songs: Reba McEntire does Steve Wariner's "The Weekend," Darius Rucker does Radney Foster's "Easier Said Than Done," and Underwood does "Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On" by Mel McDaniel, a fellow native of Checotah, Okla.

    Will Carrie Underwood have cowbell on Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On? I hope Mel McDaniel is doing better these days! I love that song!

    Carrie is a class act. On the other hand Tim Mcgraw on his farm was quite dull. He has man boobs!! GROSS!

    I think it’s weird that Carrie is keeping company with mind readers and psychics. Is this part of what she’s told to do or is it her choice? Strange

    i guess martina’s name was not worth mentioning in this aticle, she was identifyed as “more” instead of her name, give me a break, wasn’t it just as easy to say martina as “more”?

    I was over here early and it seems part of the blog is gone, had special clips listed that I went over and looked at them, going to be a great show-it is on ABC.com-this is 11/10 I believe-check put Carrie board, entire line up there on post called Carries Appearances.

    So why is Carrie’s name the title. The spotlight is NOT only her but the main interviews are Carrie, Martina and Tim.

    They also have a segment on Rosanna Cash and Loretta Lynn that is more IMPORTANT than all the rest.

    Alison is the blog writer. So, she points out what’s important to her. I don’t always want to focus on the things she does either, so I wait for a blogger that does post on what I want to read about.

    So, if you don’t like what she’s writing about there’s a bunch of other bloggers you can read.

    what’s wrong with having an opinion? that’s what blogs are all about, it would be dull if everybody agreed on every blog!
