A Supreme Super Bowl!

It was just announced that the Supreme Miss American Idol, Season Four winner, Carrie Underwood will be singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl on Sunday February 7th! She joins Season Six Miss American Idol winner Jordin Sparks and Season Three finalist Jennifer Hudson who have already had this honor. Carrie is sure to do a fantastic job!

Meanwhile, on the Billboard HOT 100 singles chart the Season Eight Miss American Idol winner, Kris Allen, has reached a new peak with his single, Live Like We're Dying, coming in at #25. Also, The Season Eight Miss American Idol 1st runner-up, Adam Lambert, is also seeing some gains as his single, Whataya Want From Me, jumps up to #37.

Switching gears to the reality television world of Season Three Miss American Idol winner, Fantasia, we learned that she is struggling with her record company over the first single to be released from her new album. Fantasia is so firm that her favorite track called Move On Me should be a single, that she is considering switching to a new record company who will see things her way.

We also had the chance to see Fantasia celebrate her 25th birthday with friends and family. Missing from the festivities was her estranged brother who is so self-absorbed in his desire to be a rich and famous recording star that he keeps refusing to patch things up with his sister. In addition, Fantasia has another older brother who has aspirations to be front and center in the singing spotlight. He has been very supportive working all these years as one of Fantasia's back-up singers, but he has announced that he can't take it anymore and he has to take the chance to be a star in his own right.

Both of these brothers seem to have a sense of entitlement at being mega rich superstars and their inability to learn from everything that Fantasia has gone through to maintain her career is evident.

Fantasia For Real on VH1 is continuing to be a very insightful and entertaining glimpse into the world of life after being crowned the Miss American Idol. If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest that you give it a look.
