Opinion of Carrie Okie Underwood

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.
