Carrie Underwood and LB

[Janet]

Any thoughts. I saw them performing together on YouTube. I had no idea this ever went down ( which brought me back to the Ledge...I am SO out of touch!!!) and it's weird. She's a little Stevie ( ok...just a little..but from far away....and she tried to be a little with the gloves)
What did you all think??

They sang Go Your Own Way.

Well, I enjoyed him with Little Big Town much more, didn't think Carrie Underwood was any good (although I like some of her own songs) and the editing on the show marginalized Linds.

But I guess I'm always glad to see the guy get outta the house and be seen by people other than FM fans.

LOL thank you. Glad none of you were thrilled either. I was in shock. And jealous as hell.

:D

When I first saw the video, I posted this on my friend Richie LaDue's myspace page along with the video. (Richie is also a DJ).

<As this video shows, Underwood is going for Stevie's iconic paramour (i.e. sloppy seconds). She's actually dueting with Lindsay Buckingham ( on “Go Your Own Way,” his & Stevie's definitive break-up song) and she's tentatively playing guitar like Madonna did on the Drowned World Tour. Remember...we kind of bought it, but weren't so sure. Anyway, Underwood better have eyes on the back of her head, because Stevie survived the 70s, 80s & 90s with every f***ing moth-eaten shawl intact to find herself still selling out arenas and getting re-mixed by Deep Dish and Starkillers. Let's face it, Stevie - whether she was with Fleetwood Mac or her brutal coven of similarly-dressed acolyte-ish background singers - engaged in the kind of outrageous shenanigans that would have destroyed her hardcore male peers on a genetic level. And when there was nothing left for her nose to consume and there were no more hits to write (until the next day of course), she'd get together with Heart and they’d crank call The Bangles and TLC just on principle. I'm sure this video from some stupid Fashion awards telecast is just an "homage" and Stevie won't have to "Call Down the Moon," like she did when Lindsay Lohan covered Edge of Seventeen. We all know where that went. The poor girl is clinging to what's left of her sanity like it's a life preserver. Anyway, judge for yourself Richie. I don't hate her yet. But, she's on thin, thin ice.>

Thanks for sharing this...I am intrigued! I hadn't heard about it before now...I can't believe LB did it, honestly, but I can't wait to listen...I kind of like Carrie, honestly...

I believe it was referred to in STORMS, that inspiring novel by CAH, that Lindsey tried to get Stevie to play guitar on GYOW during a Tusk rehearsal -- and was exasperated because she couldn't "get it" ...

....then CAH shows up at the rehearsal....and Lindsey engulfs her with his attention, affection, worship....etc. etc. etc......

Seeing the performance with Carrie (guitar-in-hand) reminded me of that passage. (Apparently, Carrie *got it* or faked it...)

Someone in the other thread

pointed out that LB sang it in a higher (? key/octave ?) at the Fashion Rocks show than he usually does....

Luckily, during the OOTC tour we got to see Lindsey rock out with women in his band who really got it.

I do like Carrie's song Before He Cheats though.
