Carrie Underwood Swoons the Audience with the Ravinia Festival Orchestra by rockchicago Sept 12, 2014 This was to be a very exciting night at Ravinia Festival, for Carrie Underwood has come back this year to grace us with her presence with not one but TWO sold-out shows at Ravinia. This time she is accompanied by the fantastic Ravinia Festival Orchestra! As soon as Carrie walked out on stage, the crowd absolutely went nuts. She went right into her song “Good Girl,” and just kept on going through her great music backed by that beautiful orchestra. The Ravinia Festival Orchestra added so much to Carrie’s songs making them a lot more full and just hitting you in the face with greatness. Carrie didn’t even take a break during her set, and her voice was unbelievable! I was surprised with the notes she was hitting that her voice wouldn’t give out later on in the night, but it didn’t, because she knows how to use her voice and I appreciate that. Here’s Carrie’s setlist from the night: 1. Good Girl 2. Wasted 3. Undo It 4. See You Again 5. Two Black Cadillacs 6. Temporary Home 7. We’re Young and Beautiful 8. Last Name 9. Jesus Take The Wheel 10. Do You Think About Me 11. Cowboy Casanova 12. So Small 13. Mama’s Song 14. Some Hearts 15. I Told You So (Randy Travis cover) 16. Just a Dream 17. All-American Girl 18. Cupid’s Got a Shotgun 19. Blown Away Encore: 20. Keep Us Safe 21. Before He Cheats Quite a big setlist for the night, but Carrie really proved her worth with the orchestra, and Carrie’s band really blew it out of the park as well. They also blended really well with the orchestra. Out of all the concerts I’ve seen at Ravinia Festival this season, this had to be in my top 3. I know I keep emphazising the orchestra, but her voice and her band just clicked with them and I absolutely loved it. Even without the orchestra, I would definitely see Carrie Underwood in concert anywhere, and I highly recommend you do as well as I know she’ll blow you away! Overall, a fantastic show, a beautiful night and a sold-out crowd. What more could you want?

Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’S Blown Away Tour
COUNTRY CULTURE AND CROSSOVER: Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’s Blown Away Tour Krisandra Ivings A Thesis Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Arts in Music with Specialization in Women’s Studies University of Ottawa © Krisandra Ivings, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the complex and multi-dimensional narratives presented in the work of mainstream female country artist Carrie Underwood, and how her blending of musical genres (pop, rock, and country) affects the narratives pertaining to gender and sexuality that are told through her musical texts. I interrogate the relationships between and among the domains of music, lyrics, images, and staging in Underwood’s live performances (Blown Away Tour: Live DVD) and related music videos in order to identify how these gendered narratives relate to genre, and more specifically, where these performances and videos adhere to, expand on, or break from country music tropes and traditions. Adopting an interlocking theoretical approach grounded in genre theory, gender theory, narrative theory in the context of popular music, and happiness theory, I examine how, as a female artist in the country music industry, Underwood uses genre-blending to construct complex gendered narratives in her musical texts. Ultimately, I find that in her Blown Away Tour: Live DVD, Underwood uses diverse narrative strategies, sometimes drawing on country tropes, to engage techniques and stylistic influences of several pop and rock styles, and in doing so explores the gender norms of those genres. ii Acknowledgements A great number of people have supported this thesis behind the scenes, whether financially, academically, or emotionally.

ENDER's GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third
ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." "That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit." Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth. "So if you'll just come over here, Andrew, just sit right up here on the examining table.

AN AMERICAN IDOL Left: (Oct. 4, 2011) Carrie Underwood stopped backstage at the Grand Ole Opry to say hello to Gene. Before winning the vastly popular American Idol show, Carrie opened a show for Gene and remembers him fondly from that. Of course Carrie has gone on to super stardom in the country music world with multi-platinum albums. Carrie recorded a # 1 with Randy Travis that they sang on the Opry that night, “I Told You So.” HANGING OUT BACKSTAGE Photo right: Gene’s dressing room at the Opry turned out to be right next door to another young star, Josh Turner. Josh was delighted to see Gene and they shared a few road stories before both were called to go onstage. Josh Turner’s career was kicked off by the single “Long Black Train.” Page 2 From the Country Family Reunion Taping Above Photo Left: Con Hunley, Bill Anderson and Gene.
