Okies are folks (not necessarily Oklahomans) who left the great plains to go to California during the dust bowl.

I've actually never heard one of her songs and I couldn't possibly care less about her image.

I think he meant "carrie okie" like "karaoke"

Not surprised that the OP was baleeted.

I think Kevin understands that.

I have no idea what the OP was before it was deleted, but I really like Carrie Underwood...

yeah probably. and i didn't read the other similar threads before i clicked on this one- I really just can't resist a pun. they're important to my lifestyle.

Every time I see the word pun I think of the SNL take on Sex & the City where "Charlotte" kept squealing "Yay! Puns!!"

The OP (not Kevin) was kind of a psycho vindictive bitch and she didn't make a very good pun either. :D Maybe it's Gene Shalit back from the dead. Is Gene Shalit dead?

My, this Alize is good.

Just for Sheila: GENE SHALIT IS STILL ALIVE.

I don't like her or her music at all. She seems very shallow and stereotypical.

And you think she's shallow and stereotypical based on....? You know her personally?

No, I do not know her personally. My comments were more about her music and her public image. I heard a few of her songs on the radio and I thought they were superficial and boring. She keeps saying that girls are supposed to be sweet and beautiful and wonderful and all American and all that vanilla stuff. If she is really such a sweetheart then good for her, she doesn't need to talk about it all the time. I'm just tired of all those country girls trying to be shania (who in my opinion is no great shakes either). I guess I just don't like country music, it's just my personal opinion.

There's a difference between not liking country music and calling someone stereotypical and shallow, toots.

I hate most country music myself. I like a couple of Carrie Underwood's songs (Before He Cheats, for example, because I have some exes whose cars I would love to destroy). She has a genuinely strong, good voice, and I happen to like her even more after learning a little about her.

She is a vegetarian like myself, which I think is extra cool because she is from cattle country.

Carrie is also a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma and takes her alumnae membership seriously. She spoke at their last Convention and stayed a long time to allow members to get photos and autographs. I also heard she wore her letters in a music video. It's refreshing to see a prominent alumna continue to give back to her sorority and continue to be proud of her sorority.

Californiagal01, you are the one being shallow if you pigeon-hole people and refuse to get to know people based on one undesirable characteristic.

I think I've heard the song "Before He Cheats". I didn't like it. It just reminds me of that redneck culture that I don't care for. I have no interest in trashing exes' cars, it's just not who I am and what I stand for. Do many girls really want to destroy other people's cars? I didn't think so and I hope not. I thought Grand Theft Auto is a game that only teenage boys like to play.

You take things way too seriously.
