Carrie Underwood learns from imperfect moments – NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — “American Idol” did more than launch Carrie Underwood’s career — it helped shape the picture-perfect image she has today. In interviews and public appearances, she never has a hair out of place and always says the right things. She only recently decided it was safe to join Twitter, and if there’s ever a controversial tweet from her account, assume it got hacked.

‘The Voice’s’ Tony Lucca on Christina Aguilera’s Comments: ‘I’m Just Confused More Than Anything’ – After the show, Lucca spoke to THR about Aguilera’s continued comments, and their relationship when they were on The Mickey Mouse Club many years ago. “We weren’t really friends on the show,” he told THR. “She was 12 and I was 17. So at that age, there were the older kids and the younger kids.” “We had a wonderful working relationship,” he added. “There were music numbers that we did where I would sing background for her, and there were dance numbers and all that kind of stuff.” “I don’t disagree with her suggestion that Adam consider us both. I think the world of Katrina. She’s phenomenal,” he said. “But of the four coaches, especially at this point in the game, it doesn’t seem like anyone is trying to manipulate or steer anyone else’s tough decisions, so for her to do that it seemed a little out of place.” – Read more at The Hollywood Reporter
