I am so excited for the new American Idol season to start tonight! I love the beginning of the season because you get to see all the funny/horrible singers. The thing I love most about American Idol is all of the great country artists that have been discovered on the show like:
Kelly Clarkson-
I know Kelly Clarkson isn't known as a country singer but she did have a hit country song thanks to Reba McEntire. Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire sang "Because of You" together and then went on tour together. I got the chance to see the 2 Worlds 2 Voices tour when it came to the Target Center. Kelly Clarkson did a great job covering all of Reba McEntires famous country songs.
Josh Gracin-
Josh Gracin was on the 2nd season of American Idol and right away became one of my favorite country artists. Josh Gracin's country singles that were released are "I Want to Live," "Nothing to Lose," "We Weren't Crazy" and my favorite "Stay With Me (Brass Bed)."
Bucky Covington-
Bucky Covington was on the 5th season of American Idol. Bucky Covington released his first album on April 17, 2007 and it debut #1 on the U.S. Billboard Top Country Albums. Bucky Convington has had great country singles like "A Different World," "I'll Walk" and "It's Good To Be Us." Bucky Covington will be releasing a new album in Spring 2010.
Danny Gokey-
Danny Gokey was on the last season of America Idol. He just released his 1st single to country radio stations called "My Best Days Are Ahead of Me." I have a feeling his album, My Best Days, will be a huge success
Kelly Pickler-
Kelly Pickler stole the hearts of all Americans during the 5th season of American Idol. With her bubbly personality and the sad story of her childhood you knew she would be a huge success. Kelly Pickler released her first album, Small Town Girl, in 2006 and it was certified Gold. Her second album, Kellie Pickler, was also a huge success. Her country singles include "Red High Heels," "Things That Never Cross a Mans Mind," "Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You," "I Wonder," "Don't You Know You're Beautiful" and "Best Days of Your Life." Kelly Pickler is currently touring with Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift and Kelly Pickler will be at the Xcel Energy Center on May 7th and tickets are still available.
Carrie Underwood-
Carrie Underwood is by far the most successful artist to come out of American Idol. Carrie Underwood's first album, Some Hearts, has been certified 7x platinum. Some Hearts was also the #1 selling album for 2006 in all genres and was the best selling debut album by a solo female country music artist in history. Her second album, Carnival Ride, was 2x ceritified Platinum and her 3rd album, Play On, debut at #1. Carrie Underwood's amazing country songs include "Jesus, Take the Wheel," "Some Hearts," "Don't Forget to Remember Me," "before He Cheats," "Wasted," "All-American Girl," "So Small," "Just a Dream," "Last Name," "I Told You So," "Cowboy Casanova" and "Temporary Home." Carrie Underwood is headlining a tour this year and I really hope she makes a stop in Minnesota because I would love to see her in concert!
"My Best Days Are Ahead of Me"-Danny Gokey
Blowing out the candles
on another birthday cake
Old enough to look back and laugh at my mistakes
Young enough to look at the future and like what I see
My best days are ahead of me
Life hasn't always been a party
but mostly it's been good
There's only one or two things that I'd change if I could
I dont get lost in the past or get stuck in some sad memory yah
My best days are ahead of me
Age is nothing but a number
Sometimes I have to wonder
What does it really mean
But heeeey im still putting it together
I keep getting better
if I keep getting better
I can be whatever I want to be
My best days are ahead of me
Age is nothing but a number
Sometimes I have to wonder
What does it really mean
But heeeey im still putting it together
I keep getting better
if I keep getting better
I can be whatever I want to be
My best days are ahead of me
I've got sunsets to witness
dreams to dance with
beaches to walk on
and lovers to kiss
there's a whole lot of world out there
that I can't wait to see
My best days are ahead of me
My best days are ahead of me

I saw Kellie Pickler when she was with Taylor Swift at the Target Center. We sat across from the stage and as far as Target Center Tickets go, they weren't too bad. She did an OK job, but I wasn't overly impressed.
I am pretty sure she spells her name ending in "IE" though . . . you have it with a "Y" LOL! She must not be one of your favorites either.
