Carrie Underwood tampil sebagai cover terbaru majalah
Glamour edisi Juni 2012.
On her new album, Blown Away :
"There’s a happy-go-lucky feeling to some of it: A nice spring day, put
the top down, turn it up, enjoy the world. But there’s a darker feeling
too. We kill a couple people. It wouldn’t be a Carrie Underwood album
without a revenge song on it. People really like when I do that. I don’t
mean to. I don’t hate men that much. But it turns out so well!"
On the song writing process :
"I’m not a creative person who’s up until 4:00 A.M., writing songs and
being weird. I write with people, sharing stories, catching up. I feel I
could easily sit down and write a song by myself, but when you get
three people, different emotions pour out, and you take them all, round
them up, and make them into one coherent thought."
On what she wishes were different about her voice :
"I’m
competitive. When I hear somebody else do something I can’t, it drives
me nuts. Steven Tyler–that screamy thing he does? I can’t do that. I
have too much control over my voice. Or people like Mariah Carey, who
can do whistle tones [notes that are at the highest point of the vocal
register]. I’ve tried, but I can’t train myself to do it."
On whether or not she could write a country song about her fame and fortune :
“With
no irony? I don’t think so, because country music is for real people. I
think it would be very hard to write about my Louboutins. Do you know
what I mean? My giant house, it’s not relatable. But my husband came
from a small town and hardworking parents like I did, and I don’t think
we’ve lost the mind-set. We don’t have a bowling alley in our basement.
We don’t have houses on the beach and one in New York and one in L.A. I
drive a three-year-old Ford Escape Hybrid. We don’t care about stuff
like that.”
On the everyday chores she insists on doing herself, and those she’d rather pass off :"I love to be at the grocery store. It makes me happy to have a full fridge and a full pantry. I hate sending my laundry out. I don’t like the thought of other people washing my clothes. What am I happy not doing? Lawn care. And I have a business manager who pays my bills. I did all that myself in college, but I only had one credit card back then."
On being in a relationship with her husband, Mike Fisher, in the public eye:
“A plus is, he knew what to expect. In Canada he was a big celebrity, so he knows what it’s like living under a microscope. And he travels a lot, which is good for both of us. We’re both independent people, so we can’t have somebody around 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The drawback is that we can go weeks without seeing each other. But he’s the only guy I’ve never had to worry about. Any guy I’ve ever dated, there would always be that doubt: ‘He didn’t answer his phone. What’s he doing? It’s late.’ I’m not the crazy-girlfriend type, but there was a little voice in the back of my head. I don’t have to worry about Mike. I don’t think twice. He’s going out? I don’t care; it doesn’t bother me. I don’t bat an eye.”
Disaat kepergiannya semalam, Rihanna sedang tampil dalam event "Peace, Love Festival" di Swedia, yang awalnya banyak mendapat cemoohan dari penonton, karena Rihanna tampil amburadul, Lipsync, dan sangat ga maksimal seperti biasanya, tapi setelah diketahui penyebabnya adalah kematian sang nenek, sangat wajar bila Rihanna ga bisa konsentrasi disaat manggung, malah salut buat RiRi atas ke-profesionalannya, disaat berita duka, dia masih tetap naik panggung menemui fans nya, walo ga maksimal dan Lipsync.
