It seems that the Supreme Miss American Idol, Season 4 winner, Carrie Underwood, is an even bigger star than we initially thought.
The superstar helped carry the three-hour production of the Sound of Music to the top of the ratings when it aired on Thursday night Dec. 5th on NBC. But while the initial reports were that the all-star cast, which also included ‘True Blood’ star Stephen Moyer and TV and Broadway actress Laura Benanti, earned 18.5 million viewers, new reports indicate that number is actually significantly higher.
According to the New York Times, once the number of delayed viewers (who watched at a later date on their DVR) were calculated, that number of viewers ballooned to 21.3 million — almost three million more than what was initially thought. The additional viewers also earned the show one more point in viewers between ages 18 to 49.
Carrie couldn’t be more pleased with the final result. “Glory to God tonight…I couldn’t be more proud,” she tweeted after the show. “What a tough thing to pull off and we did it! I am so blessed!!!”
She has every right to be proud, that's for sure! Just for pushing her own boundaries and for rising to this challenge. She has proven herself as a mutli-talented superstar who is not afraid of hard work, dedication and professionalism. I am impressed with all of the time, effort and energy that was put into this television event by so many people and I am pleased that the network plans on tackling a different musical next year during the holiday season.
