Carrie Underwood: Back to “American Idol” Roots

Posted Friday May 15, 2009 2:46 PM GMT

She’s been a major force in the country music world ever since she won the top spot on “American Idol” back in 2005. And now Carrie Underwood is returning to the AI stage.

The four-time-Grammy-Award-winner is scheduled to perform on next week’s season finale as Adam Lambert goes toe-to-toe with Kris Allen.

Back in March, Miss Underwood (26) gave a memorable appearance on the FOX talent show, performing a duet with country crooner Randy Travis.

Carrie, who will be singing a cover of Motley Crue’s “Home Sweet Home” as this year’s farewell song, told press, “I am always thrilled to return to the Idol stage.”
