Carrie Underwood was born on March 10, 1983 in the small town of Chocolate, Oklahoma, USA. At the age of 13, Carrie Underwood recorded the first album of her life. When she was in college, she stumbled upon the stories of legendary country artists such as Patsy Cline and The Carter Family, which deepened her passion for country music, and during her participation in American Idol, she repeatedly sang songs by country singer Martina McBride. At the time of the fourth American Idol competition in 2005, Carrie Underwood was just a college student who had not graduated, just an unknown music lover among the 100,000 preliminary contestants. Shy and shy by nature, Carrie Underwood mostly chose to sing country music songs when competing. But with great singing and graceful typhoons, Carrie Underwood eventually triumphed over powerful rock singer BoBice from Alabama to become the fourth winner after the American Idol contest was founded, following Kelly Clarkson in 2002, Ruben Studio in 2003 and Fontasia Barrino last year.
