I saw Carrie today on Regis and Kelly. She implied that she was not a Simon fan and seemed not to be quite so outgoingly friendly after the first second or so. She sang "her" single, but I switched it off after the first couple of bars. Anyone else see it and have an opinion?

I saw it and thought she was fun and interactive. DH, who was not able to see the last two nights of AI, saw her perform and was blown away - as was I. She sang with nothing more than a piano and she sounded incredible. Her confidence is building.

I'm with Spygirl on this one. Carrie's version of Heaven with just the piano was full of nuances that were new and subtle - I heard some beauty in there that was impossible to hear during AI with the band/orchestra. And she is charming with a quick sense of humor.

I'm a little embarrassed to say that I kind of like Carrie's version of "Heaven". It's one of the few "Idol" songs that I actually enjoy hearing.

i saw carrie on leno thursday night, and she seems much more personable during interviews than she was on AI. she's probably a lot less nervous since the competition is over. i feel about her as watching wrote about anthony "mp3's from the show are just not long enough". i cannot WAIT to buy her cd. i downloaded the "god blessed the broken road" with her and rascal flatts, and it gives me chills listening to it! i almost like the song better with her singing with them! also downloaded some of the "showstoppers" songs...of course INDEPENDENCE DAY (carrie), also total eclipse of the heart (jessica sierra), and part-time lover (nikko smith). tried to download nadia's song, but the file was corrupted.

Oh, I loved Carrie singing with Rascal Flatts! I thought it was awesome! I didn't see her on R&K but I did see her on Leno and I thought she was really sweet as well as a good sport with yodeling for Jay!

Zachsmom - I was a "closet Anthony fan" around here for quite a while until others started talking about him being good! I saw Carrie's interview on The Early Show and she said she was worried when Simon said something good about her since a lot of people don't like him and thought they might turn against her. She also thought it was really presumptious of Simon to say she'd sell more CDs than any other American Idol. They asked about Bo and she said he's like the big brother she never had and that he'd do just as well if not better than she would since people loved him so much and he was so great. I fell asleep waiting to hear her sing, tho! Dumb show - had the interview in one hour and then I guess she sang sometime in the last hour, but I didn't last for it! Anyway, she was really down to earth and talked about keeping her family and friends close to her from prior Idol since they'll be straight with her and tell her to stop acting like a jerk if she ever does. I like the girl.

Has anyone heard any news about Anthony? Like his plans for the future, any offers or CD's in the works? Just curious, don't want my Anthoneeeee to disappear.

Watching, I noticed your "coming out of the closet" and appreciated it I was a big Ant fan, too. Just to throw my .02 in, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed listening to Anthony, Nadia (whom I never voted for) and Vonzell at the final show, and how I actually fast-forwarded thru Bo and Carrie's songs. Without all the emotional investment of who to care for, I was still wowed (or newly wowed) by those three. I really hope they do put something out. Barry Manilow is getting up there agewise and IMNSHO his voice is beginning to go....there are shoes to fill and if Anthony wants to help Clay fill them, more power (and my money) to him!!!!!

Well, I notice that AOL's recap clips of the day show Carrie's turn on R&K with the caption of "Carrie shows no love for Simon" (or along those lines) so apparently I was not the only one to notice.

Terolyn, Anthony is tied to AI at least until their tour ends. Then I believe he will be free to take up any offers which may come his way.....and BETTER! I did hear he's had some "talks" with people, but I think that's the most he can say at this point.

Well, Bo was on R&K and I think he came across much better than Carrie. Much more genuine and grateful.

I like the way that Carrie was polite but honest about her opinion of Simon. There’s nothing wrong with suggesting that too much praise from Simon could have had the opposite effect and hurt her chances to win. Carrie seems very down to earth and personable. I like Bo as well. I think AI did well this season, getting people that will represent the show in a positive way (similar to what Ruben and Clay did in Season 2).

I loved Anthony's voice, but I didn't like most of his song choices. He had the best ear of the bunch, I can't remember him ever being "pitchy". I haven't seen any of the interviews with Carrie, but anyone who smooches animals is alright by me. She definitely needed this more than Bo.

I was listening to the BSB sing "Imcomplete" on the radio today and right after it went over I played Anthoneeee's version. Way better than BSB (if you ask me)

The idols were in Charlotte for the Nascar race last weekend & visited in the suites. Anthony,Vonzell & Anwar were very shy. Constantine was the most stand offish, but all posed for pictures. All seemed very appreciative to be there & enjoying their success.

From Billboard interview with Carrie: "... It's been a whirlwind week. Are you loving it or will it take some getting used to? It's just like, I can't believe this is happening to me. The weirdest thing is it was just a dream, and now it's actually real. It's hard to believe sometimes. Now that it's all over, what do you think of the overall "American Idol" experience? There was never anything negative about it. It was a wonderful experience. I got to meet some of the best people I've ever met, and we all grew as people and as entertainers. Now we're looking forward to the ["American Idol"] tour. When people see Carrie Underwood, what do you hope they're thinking? I want people to think of me as a nice person. I really am so blessed. All of this has been a great experience and I thank the American public so much for putting me in this position. I appreciate every second of it." [....] INTERVIEW HERE

Oh my goodness, she's such a sweet girl. Sometimes, though, she might want to think just a tad more before answering. This is from Bonza's link: What a ride! What's going on in your head? Well, there's not ever much of anything going on in my head. I'm just thrilled to have this opportunity.

LOL - Mak, I noticed that one! I will say this about the interviews with Carrie I've seen since Idol ended - she's actually sharper than she had appeared up to the point of being on her own. She "gets" everything when funny remarks are tossed at her, and she makes some good ones too. So I took that as a tongue-in-cheek reply.

I've noticed that in her tv interviews too, Bonza, so it could very well be tongue-in-cheek, which sometimes doesn't translate well to print, lol.
