At Wisconsin's Country Fest, Carrie Underwood is a surefire highlight

Posted on Jun 26, 2011

As Carrie Underwood took to the Country Fest stage last night, undoubtedly, Wisconsin was expecting a treat.

It is hard to imagine, at times, to think that Carrie once graced the American Idol stage. She has grown by leaps and bounds in six years. As part of the 25th Annual Country Fest, she appeared on the same stage that so many of Country music's female legends have performed. Following in the footsteps of Reba, Tanya Tucker, Tammy Wynette, Pam Tillis, and Martina McBride, to name a few, Carrie proved that she is just as capable of engaging and entertaining a crowd.

One reviewer, Alyssa Waters, from Leader-Telegram, said of Underwood's vocals, "[they were] spot on and gave chills at times." Reportedly, she opened her rousing 90-minute, 16-song set with "Cowboy Casanova," the platinum-selling lead single from Play On. This single, upon its release in 2009, became the fastest climbing Country single on the charts for that year. There is no mistaking that Miss Fisher is familar with chart-toppers.

She continued her set with #1 singles "Wasted" and "Undo It" before peppering in lesser-known songs "Quitter" and "I Know You Won't." To follow up those tracks, she belted on "So Small," "Temporary Home," and a mash-up of "Jesus Take the Wheel" and "How Great Thou Art."
