It may take a bit of digging, but Idol Gives Back is in iTunes this morning. I had to click on the ‘American Idol Top 12′ banner and then I saw an ‘Idol Gives Back’ banner.

iTunes has a number of songs and videos including ‘What about Now’ by Daughtry, ‘Good and Broken’ and ‘See You Again’ by Miley Cyrus, ‘Praying for Time’ by Carrie Underwood, ‘Before He Cheats’ by Terri Hatcher and Band From TV plus more.

Ever wonder what Carrie Underwood would look like as a brunette? Or maybe in a football uniform or as a sexy cop? Well now you can find out.

Her All American Girl music video has her dressing up in lots of different outfits from beauty queen to news reporter, firefighter and many more. Even ‘Before He Cheats’ Carrie makes a few appearances.

Check out the video that looks like she had a lot of fun making.

Which Carrie do you like?

Did you happen to catch the Grammys? If you didn’t you missed Carrie Underwood looking sexy in an extremely short, tight, black skirt!

Have no fear though, YouTube has the whole ‘Before He Cheats’ performance. Interestingly enough, the junkyard performance was pretty cool. Not quite country, but a nice remix!

What do you think? Is Carrie loosing her values or is she just using her sex appeal to sell more records?

New Carrie Underwood musc, new album, same great style!

Did you purchase it? What’d you think?

Carrie Underwood has released the video for her single So Small. The video depicts three people all fed up with life until they see how it could be much worse. They then realize that love is all that matters.

So Small is a great video with some nice special effects. It really does do justice to the song.

If you want to own the single or the video, both can be downloaded from iTunes today.
