Carrie Underwood Career
Underwood auditioned for American Idol in mid-2004, performing Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me” in St. Louis, Missouri.
Judge Simon Cowell said she would be one of the favorites to win the competition after she sang Tiffany’s “Could’ve Been” on the top 12 girls’ night.
Underwood sang a rendition of the number-one 1980s rock hit “Alone,” made famous by Heart, during the top 11 finalists’ performance on the March 22, 2005, Idol broadcast, and Cowell prophesied that Underwood will not only win the competition but also outsell all prior Idol winners.
She swept the voting, according to one of the show’s producers, winning every week by a considerable margin.
On June 14, 2005, Underwood released her first single, “Inside Your Heaven,” which launched her musical career.
The song debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making Underwood the third artist to do so since the chart policy was altered in 1998.
She also made Billboard chart history by becoming the first country music artist to debut at number one on the Hot 100, with her song “Amazed” becoming the first country song to do so since country group Lonestar’s “Amazed” did so in 2000.
