The new season of American Idol is just around the corner -  Carrie Underwood is excited that new judge Keith Urban will be representing country music – and believes we will have more country winners: 

She said:  “I mean you look at the track record of American Idol – there’s me and Scotty [McCreery] and Lauren [Alaina] were the final two. But it makes sense, there’s obviously a want for it from the American Idol audience because that’s who they are voting for.”

The new season of American Idol will kick-off with a two night premiere, January 16th at 8PM Eastern on FOX.
