A source within the league offices has confirmed that commissioner Roger Goodell is investigating Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

Goodell is said to be concerned about recent allegations that Romo spent his time during the Cowboys' bye week partying with Britney Spears.

Romo's association with Spears reflects poorly on the league's image, something Goodell has been working hard to clean up since becoming commissioner.

Perhaps Carrie Underwood is more to the commissioner's liking.

The Cowboys will travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles Sunday night on NBC.

Are you sure you're not Phil C in disguise?

Carrie Underwood's 'Carnival Ride' a bunch of air

Carrie Underwood is essentially an ordinary background vocalist that got real lucky.

Nowhere is that more apparent than on her cover of Randy Travis' hard country classic, "I Told You So." In her hands, not to mention under the slickly overproduced tutelage of Mark Bright, the American Idol darling turns a barroom weeper into a vanity mirror confession.

During the tune, she's more concerned with hitting and holding those high notes than she is with finding the emotional core of the lyrics. That's been the main problem with Oklahoma's sweetheart since the release of her monstrous, six-million-selling debut, 2005's Some Hearts. Taking her cues from the louder-is-better mantra that defines Idol, Ms. Underwood goes out of her way on Carnival Ride to breathe herself into a belting stupor.

Listen to "All-American Girl," one of four songs she co-wrote here, and the current single, "So Small." On both cuts she delivers breathless choruses designed to impress the masses. Neither track sounds all that different from "Jesus, Take the Wheel," her breakthrough hit two years ago.

That's because toying with the formula now could seriously thwart Ms. Underwood's bottom line. She's a potential goldmine as Shania Twain was back in the late '90s.

So while Carnival Ride fiddles with a handful of traditional country instruments such as banjo, mandolin and steel guitar, her roots remain in radio-ready pop. Tellingly, the CD's best cut, "Last Name," is a rocked-up little corker about too much booze and a surprise Vegas wedding. It's a catchy guilty pleasure.

Ultimately, Carrie Underwood's artistic abilities amount to a bunch of air. Give her a batch of palatable pop nuggets, such as the breezy final track "Wheel of the World," and then let her blow. She'll blend perfectly with the proceedings. She'll even harmonize for you. Her voice will be purely pleasant white noise.

Just like any other background vocalist.

Wow, that was pretty harsh. I haven't heard the new releases, but I have to wonder if critics truly recognize how hurtful their words can be.

I'm not even a huge Carrie Underwood fan, but it seems that critics often enjoy ripping people to shreds in order to draw attention to themselves, rather than saying something more tastefully and/or tactfully.

geez talk about a grudge...

that guy has to be on somethin...

I think Carrie Underwood has a beautiful voice.............much MUCH MUCH better than Britney Spears!!!!

I can't hardly stand media/critics, etc.....they are one of the main reasons I don't much bother to watch TV anymore.

I can't tell you the last time I sat down and watched the news or read the paper...unless it was the Sports section!!

[kaorder1999]

could you picture Spears on American Idol? That would be hilarious

Of course they recognize how hurtful their words are. This is THEIR chance at 15 minutes of fame. :rolleyes:

She is probably the prettiest and richest "back-up singer" I know of and I love her songs. I haven't heard her new album yet, either. If it is anything like her others (and it is according to the know-it-all critic), then I should enjoy it. And Britney couldn't lip-sync Carrie's back-up singing.......

Music critics...:rolleyes:

Great thing about the 21st century is you can listen before you spend anything and cut the critic out of your buying decision.
