Carrie Underwood – National Anthem – Superbowl 2010
Carrie Underwood sang the National Anthem, a ‘capella, live–NO lip syncing–before today’s Superbowl game. I am officially impressed. The last note was a little wobbly, but still–awesome job, Carrie.
I do believe that performers have lip synced the National Anthem to a backing track nearly every year since 1993.

Carrie Underwood on the Cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine
Carrie Underwood graces the cover of the March issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. As female lifestyle magazines typically do, Cosmo has airbrushed the life out of Carrie’s photo. It doesn’t look like her.
The cover headlines are spectacular, aren’t they? “How to Touch a Naked Man”? Gotta give it up for Cosmo, they manage to stay in the game with material that seems increasingly retro.
More News: Carrie is singing the National Anthem at Sunday’s Superbowl, her guest-starring episode of How I Met Your Mother airs March 1, she’s got a starring role in an Independent film, Soul Surfer, she’s scheduled to perform at the Hollywood Bowl on October 1st, and it’s just been announced that she’ll appear at the CMA Festival in June.
Plus, she’s getting married! And, her “Temporary Home” music video went to #1 on iTunes (it’s currently #1)
Bonus: Check out Carrie videos from her NFL press conference in Miami yesterday, HERE and HERE. A reporter asks her about “Pants on the Ground”. Carrie’s deadpan answer is awesome. (She and Queen Latifah sing a verse!)
Plus, more from Cosmo after the jump, including a behind-the-scenes video…

“We Are The World” Remake Includes Several Idols
2nd Update: I just saw the entire list of participants, and Carrie was not on the list. Jordin Sparks, Katharine McPhee and Randy Jackson were all on the list.
UPDATE: CNN removed Carrie Underwood’s name from their report (It’s still in the sidebar) and other outlets do not have her on their lists, so I would say, at this point, her involvement it NOT confirmed.
The recording session for the remake of “We Are the World” is happening in Los Angeles tonight (Feb 1), and you can add Jordin Sparks and Carrie Underwood to the list of stars set to participate in the re-recording of the Michael Jackson classic for Haiti relief.
Jennifer Hudson and Katharine McPhee were previously confirmed for the event. Idol judge, Randy Jackson is also involved.
“We Are the World” is produced by Quincy Jones who also helmed the original back in 1985 with Michael Jackson. Idol music director, Rickey Minor is directing the remake, so I would not be surprised if there were even more Idols amongst the 100+ stars tapped for the single.
Jordin tweeted, “Being apart of the We Are The World remake is such an honor. So much talent together for a great cause. I will never forget tonight. <3″
Some of the big names involved in the effort: Barbra Streisand, Pink, Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Fergie, Brian Wilson, Akon, wil.i.am, Tony Bennett, Rob Thomas, Jeff Bridges, Heart and more.

If there are other Idol sightings at the recording, I’ll add them to this post…
