Carrie Underwood Does it Again

Carrie Underwood wins Entertainer of the Year at the ACM awards in Las Vegas last night.
NJ Fan, our resident Blog-opedia Brainiac has posted the following for all of us:

Carrie Underwood captured entertainer of the year Sunday night at the Academy of Country Music Awards, winning the top honor that has eluded women for nearly a decade, while Taylor Swift won album of the year and Julianne Hough snagged top new artist.Country music's boys' club was adjourned for the year when Underwood broke Kenny Chesney's four-year win streak and became the first woman to hold the title since the Dixie Chicks in 2000. The significance wasn't lost on the 26-year-old superstar."I accepted that award on behalf of myself and my fans, but also on behalf of other women who came before me that kicked butt but never got the recognition they deserved," Underwood said. "I can't wait (for) the day, which I hope is in the very near future, where having females in the category is no big deal whatsoever."In 39 years of recognizing a top entertainer, the academy has granted the honor to a woman seven times, including Underwood. The others were Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Barbara Mandrell, Reba McEntire, Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks. Each won once.Chesney, who missed the chance to tie Alabama for most entertainer of the year awards, kissed Underwood as she walked up to accept the honor."He told me he was proud of me," said Underwood, who's enjoyed astounding success since winning "American Idol" in 2005 with eight No. 1 country hits including the signature single, "Jesus Take the Wheel."I don't think any AI winner will ever top Carrie Underwood!

Love the YouTube video, where you see Kenny Chesney go and hug her mom after her award speech.
Kenny Chesney hugs her on the way to stage. Old Man George Strait ain't likin' it. Boo puss face George.

We love you Carrie, and I agree with NJ Fan...no Idol will be as famous as Carrie has become, even if it is country. She's as mainstream as they come.

On a disturbing note, they gave that little mileywannabe Taylor Swift some made up crystal award for bringing so many young fans to country music...translate...saving our asses in the industry so us old folks can figure out what's hip and cool by letting YOU write all your music, Taylor.
