Carrie Underwood is the highest earning American Idol winner of all time, and you better recognize!
Unfortunately, the producers at Idol didn’t give the country sensation the attention she felt she deserved on the show’s finale last night, and is throwing a fit.
Even though Underwood gave a solo performance of “Something in the Water” and sung a duet with country star and Idol judge Keith Urban, she felt rival Kelly Clarkson got the better deal.
Clarkson, the first winner in Idol history and the show’s second most successful alum, was given a full segment on the program to perform a medley of her greatest hits.
“Carrie said she just felt like she should have gotten the same type of treatment that Kelly did since she is the big money-maker from the show,” a production source told Radar Online.
The source also alleged that Underwood was peeved about having to do the duet with Urban.
“Carrie caused serious drama with the final production of the show because she flipped out that she was stuck doing a duet when she has a tour and so many things to promote right now,” revealed the source.
Carrie, girl, you’re worth $ 75 million thanks to American Idol. Perhaps you can go back to your lavish home and designer boots and rest happy with that knowledge.
The long-running singing competition ended its run last night after 15 years on the air. Check out some of the highlights of the final Idol below:
