DLC Discussion Week of 6/26 - Carrie Underwood 3 Pack!

[Magnet]

Hey gang,

The first country artist to win American Idol, Carrie Underwood has sold more than 14 million albums worldwide, earned five Grammys, and has topped the charts with 14 number one singles. On June 26th, one of the biggest names in modern country music returns to Rock Band with “Carrie Underwood Pack 01”!

“Before He Cheats,” the chart-topping single from Underwood’s 2005 album, Some Hearts, opens the pack. The highly successful crossover single garnered Underwood a number of awards, including two Grammy’s for “Best Female Country Vocal Performance” and “Country Song of the Year.”

The second song in the pack is “Cowboy Casanova” from her third studio album, 2009’s Play On. The track was another hit for Underwood, certified Platinum and reaching number one on Billboard’s Country Songs charts.

“Good Girl,” the lead single from Underwood’s most recent record, Blown Away, rounds out of the pack. This high-energy track, with its infectious sing-along chorus, swept the charts when it was released earlier this year, rocketing to the top of Billboard’s Country Songs charts. The track also netted Underwood the prestigious “Video of the Year” award at the CMT Music Awards earlier this month.

Are you serious?

Definite pass for me.

[V8VANTAGE]

A big pass for me.

Naught, zero, zilch....

[VolTRH]

Didn't see that one coming.


That said, will likely pick up at least one song, possibly two.

[Lord_Mhoram]

And I was just thinking the other day that it was time for some more Country and here we go. Getting the whole pack this time. Cool!

[Songblade]

Oh. So this is real? Wow. Huuuuuuuuuuuge pass.

Most of the time it seems like my reaction to DLC is "meh" ... but in this case, it's "feh!"

[RockmanXX5]

Who's Carrie Underwood? Was she an American Idol winner?

Well, I have other songs on my buy list. I'll look at those.

[murph]

Who? What? Is she the one married to a hockey player?

Can we just skip ahead to next week please?

[XTommyDonX]

I actually think this is a very cool surprise week and I'm buying at leats Before He Cheats, but I feel like it would have been a better move the release a country female pack which included Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift, etc.

It's good to see an American Idol get a pack of their own. Hoping the next one is Kelly Clarkson as we still only have one song from her.

Kelly would be good, there's 3 songs i want by her so a 3 pack would be welcome. (Kellys actually probably my favorite idol that actually was good after idol.. the rest usually turn to suckage.)

But unfortunately daughtrys next....
