American Idol Commercial, Now Featuring Carrie Underwood – VIDEO
Like David Cook before her, Carrie Underwood is featured in a FOX commercial promoting Season 8 of American Idol, premiering on January 13.
The structure is very similar to the Cook commercial–As Carrie accepts a CMA for Female Vocalist of the Year, the film rewinds back to her audition, and Simon predicting “…you will sell more records than any other Idol winner.” Her song, “Just a Dream” is the backdrop.

I think in the US, Kelly still has sold more cumulatively. But she has 3 albums and Carrie only has 2, at the moment. Carrie has the biggest AI album with Some Hearts though.
I definitely think that’s what they’re trying to set up with these commercials. While I’m sure AI loves making $$$ off Daughtry and Archie and JHud, if winning isn’t important then the show definitely loses some purpose. They want the audience to care who wins…it’s almost like they’ve created their own enemy in the successful non winners.
I think “enemies” is a slight overstatement. I don’t think AI views successful AI alums or non AI winners as enemies at all as they are all part of the AI family or portfolio of products. Sure, it would have been better for the AI brand if all the winners could have been as successful as Kelly or Carrie, but it also shows how realistic AI is vis a vis the music world. Good product, good sales. Bad product, well, Taylor Hicks’ sales. But I think the success of JHud, Daughtry and Clay add to the overall luster of the AI brand. It’s good to have successful idols because it means the show produces talent, and at the end of the day, there can only be 1 winner per season. But you don’t want the entire season invalidated because there was only 1 winner – because that doesn’t mean there was only 1 talented singer. AI is a launching pad for talent into the music, film, entertainment industry and clearly a force to be recognized. It’s better, IMO, for people to see other AI alums rather than just think of those terrible audition peeps like Renaldo or William Hung. So it all works out.
The fact that they are highlighting the AI winners, DC and Carrie, emphasizes the benefits of winning, because that is the goal of the show. The other bi-product stars is gravy for the show.
They do have a commercial with Taylor Hicks in it .It shows Carrie U, Taylor,Jordan and then Daivd C before the judges.
Get through the BS American Idol gets thier name out thier but it is the artists and good promo . It also helps allot by Fitting a genire like a glove, singing good and having a bit good looks. Case in point how some AI contestants have good numbers in first cd then the second goes down possibly AI shine has deminished somewhat their on thier own ..Comsumers who like Carrie U and Kellie C music would not touch the show with a ten foot pole.
Remember it is a “reality Show” first and formost for entertainment..
Thier is and will always be a stigma for being on idol from some in the business because the artist has to gain respect despite being on a “relaity show” Brooke would say just ridculous the smashing or whos better than who..none of these will be the next beatles/Rolling stones .(imo pathitic)
Not a Carrie fan – at all – but this is a nice commercial. The vid for that Just A Dream song is really powerful – wow.
I wonder if they’re going to make those ads like Cook’s and Carrie’s for all the winners?
Never write having the norwic virus(gastro flu) or ticked off ya make no sence lesson learned. Lamens terms the blog above the Quenessential AI contestant fit the “pop” section like a glove, have the “look “in other words Pr dream come true. (not rocking the boat helps) If they fit or semi fit AI/label will pimp them but it is up to the artist to make it after words.. I dislike about AI is the false standards they have about success fullfilling success to most is making a living at doing what ya like. Apologize about rant above never be perfect .
LU- American Idol is about the show getting allot of mula mostly through advertisment which the higher the ratings the better for AI.. If commercails w/ Carrie U, Daivid C or even cute puppies bring more viewers thier will be more bet on it.
Not a bad commercial but it does not have the impact of DC’s.
I like actually all the winners. I think they are all awesome and all extremely talented. Probably Jordin was my least favorite winner because she didn’t show me on the show what she could accomplish. That may be more my failing than hers, because she certainly showed me afterwards. That it’s not music I could ever embrace means diddly to me. She’s certainly proven herself. I think truly all the winners have.They have proven themselves in their respective genres. So it’s all good for me. I’d have to say that the DC commercial was much more arresting and memoriable than the CU commercial. I would stack it up to been there, done that or in other words you can’t go there again. While Carrie Underwood is awesome, she’s not so very awesome doing a rehashed commercial.
