Two past American Idol contestants have been nominated for awards by the Academy of Country Music. Carrie Underwood was nominated for five ACMs: Top Female Vocalist, Album of the Year for Some Hearts and Song of the Year, Single Record of the Year and Video of the Year for “Before He Cheats.” Last year she was named Top New Female Vocalist at the 2006 ACMs. Kellie Pickler hopes she’ll be the next American Idol alum to take home that award, after she was nominated for Top New Female Vocalist this year.


I think it’s amazing that Carrie Underwood went from American Idol contestant to multi platinum country artist. That just goes to show you how powerful American Idol can be. I think everyone should head on over to http://www.jinglesforpringles.com, and start uploading videos of themselves singing a jingle about Pringles. Pringles and American Idol are giving you guys the chance to win a trip to the American Idol Finale! Other prizes include $500 in cash, a digital video camera, and a years worth of Pringles.
