Welcome to Birthday Thursdays here in The Rhythm Section. Each week I will feature someone from the world of music whose birthday falls on that day. There won’t be any chit chat from me, no facts and figures – just some great tunes (and an occasional surprise). Check it out right here every Thursday and enjoy the music.

Welcome back to In The Groove. Today I’ve got a hot little number for you – not just the song but the singer as well.
Take the #1 female singer in the country music scene and give her a crossover country rock song to sing and you’ve got “Before He Cheats”, a song which tells the story of a woman taking her anger and revenge out on her cheating lover.
Here is Carrie Underwood singing “Before He Cheats” from her 2005 debut album.

So here’s my question of the day:
Carrie Underwood got her big break by winning the American version of a highly televised international reality talent show franchise originally hosted in the U.S. by Ryan Seacrest and judged by Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson. What is the name of the show that propelled Carrie Underwood into the world of mega-stardom?

Thanks for hanging out with me here In The Groove. Have a great day; let’s meet up again next week.
