The high octane of her ranging voice not only won over the crowd but proved she was an all-star American singer. The 2005 “American Idol” winner, Carrie Underwood, brought the sold-out house to its feet at 8:40 p.m. Wednesday at the United Spirit Arena. Kicking off the Carnival Ride Tour was the shining star of country and gospel music, Josh Turner. With his deep, soothing voice, blue eyes and debonair looks, Turner warmed the stage with his hits songs like “Firecracker” and “One Woman Man.” The newly inducted member of the Grand Ole’ Opry showcased his talents with a rendition of a Buddy Holly hit, making the crowd want more. The audience got pumping when he sang the title track from his debut album, “Long Black Train,” with the sounds of a hustling train, its screeching wheels and its steaming engine. A five-minute countdown began at 8:35 p.m., and right on the dot at 8:40 p.m., the large screen behind the stage began showing a sunset desert with the silhouette of Underwood walking toward the crowd. Lifted from a hidden shaft, Underwood appeared to a roaring crowd in a skin-tight black ensemble with knee-high boots, a rhinestone belt and her golden locks to open with “Flat On The Floor.” She took no time in making the crowd feel like the cost of a ticket was worth every penny, belting out her hit songs like “Wasted,” “The More Boys I Meet” and “Just A Dream.” Underwood urged the audience to clap their hands, stomp their feet or do whatever, but just have fun, and fun they had. During the entire hour and 20-minute show, Underwood used the whole stage, performing to all sides of the arena, with an added large screen directly behind the stage and two smaller ones on either side. On several of her songs, the screens showed a video, showcasing a speeding car hugging the curves with “Get Out of This Town,” clips of her hometown in Oklahoma with the song “I Ain’t In Checotah Anymore” and a slide show of pictures of Underwood as a police officer, a doctor, a cowgirl and a chef, to name a few, while she sang “All-American Girl.” During the show, Underwood had five wardrobe changes, from the skin-tight black ensemble to a full-floor-length ball gown to stripping the ball gown skirt and making it a short dress to jeans and top to one of the crowd’s favorite, a red-and-black Texas Tech jersey. “I have to say the confetti at the end and her wearing a Texas Tech jersey was the best,” said Jenna Looney of Houston. While at times the crowd waited for Underwood to return to the stage in a new outfit, the entertainment continued on with her band jamming out, and each band member was able to showcase his talents. Before performing “I Told You So,” a Randy Travis original, Underwood said she will be the newest member inducted into the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday, and she said Travis was the one who told her the news as she performed that very song on the Opry stage. Ending the night with “So Small,” Underwood waved to the crowd and was slowly lowered below the stage on the secret shaft, but not for long. She reappeared for her encore wearing red and black and belting out the lyrics of the hard-rock band Guns N’ Roses’ “Paradise City.” Nailing the song like it was her own, Underwood yet again showcased her talents, showing she is not just a country singer. But she didn’t stop there. You can’t go to an Underwood concert without hearing “Before He Cheats.” As the crowd sang the lyrics, blasts of confetti exploded and there was no better way to end the show. “Amazing,” said Emily Owen of Lubbock. “She was just amazing. When she came out with that Tech jersey, she is so great.” Halston Arterburn, 12, of Lubbock said there was not a song she didn’t like that Underwood sang. “I really liked them all,” she said. “I rooted for her when she was on “American Idol.” This concert was really fun.”
