Carrie Underwood addresses ‘American Idol’ haters | Music City Minute

Carrie Underwood’s stint as a judge on “American Idol” has felt different this season. The one-time winner of the reality competition show seems a lot more comfortable sharing her true opinions, both positive and constructive. That said, not everybody agrees with her forward approach, especially the live Nashville audience. More than once during the Music City takeover week, the 42-year-old received negative feedback from the crowd in the form of “boos,” which is practically unheard of for an artist of her caliber. The congregation’s discontent grew especially heavy after the elimination of a young artist named Mor. Even though auditioning with an original song initially earned him a golden ticket to the next round, unfortunately Mor’s tactic did not land with the judges a second time. Yet, in spite of the forthcoming displeasure, Carrie Underwood held strong. Armed with the confidence of a global superstar with over 50 industry awards, she gave her honest assessment and then told the live and social media audience to take their “boos” and shove it.

I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
