Emmys: JFK Tribute

Carrie Underwood got to perform at the 65th Annual Emmy's on September 22nd 2013 with Don Cheadle and paid tribute to the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination by paying another tribute and performing the Beatles' "Yesterday" on the 50th anniversary of them performing it for the very first time on the Ed Sullivan Show. Read more about it down below!

Don Cheadle and Carrie Underwood took the Emmy Awards back to the 1963 with a meaningful tribute to the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination and the 50th anniversary of the Beatles performing on the Ed Sullivan Show for the first time. So moving!

Don Cheadle Presents Tribute For JFK & The Beatles

Six-time Emmy-nominee Don presented a moving tribute for the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination, and the role that all of the television coverage played in marking the terrifying and fateful day on November 22, 1963.

Don started JFK’s assassination tribute by saying,”That [era] was the moment when the television generation came of age. More people got information from TV, such as Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic march. TV gave way to laughter from Dick Van Dyke, Andy Griffith and Lucille Ball — and soon after, they shared grief.”

Don went on to speaking about a lighter moment in TV history – the first time the Beatles played on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964, marking a huge and historic connection between television and the impact it had on its audience.

“National tragedy gave way to another event, and a dark cloud was suddenly lifted, making it ok to experience joy again. 73 million viewers [watching the Ed Sullivan Show] underscored the immediacy of TV and the impact on our society. TV has the power to engage, inform and unite. It remembers the past, celebrates the present and anticipates our future,” Don said.

Carrie Underwood Sings The Beatle’s ‘Yesterday’

Carrie performed a beautiful rendition of the Beatle’s song “Yesterday,” glittering onstage in a navy, sparkling one-shouldered gown with images of the Beatles being shown behind her.

Carrie and the Beatles have something in common — they both got to be stars with the help of TV. Since Carrie was discovered on American Idol and the Beatles got to “Beatlemania” status because of their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, it was so fitting to us that Carrie sang the energetic and moving medley.

Earlier in the day on Sept. 22, Carrie tweeted her excitement for the show, saying, “I’m so honored to be performing on the #Emmys on @CBS tomorrow night! Any guesses on which Beatles song I’ll be singing? I can’t wait!”

The wait is over now and we think Carrie absolutely dazzled during her “Yesterday” performance!

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Did you love Carrie Underwood’s performance honoring JFK?

Carrie Underwood Celebrates 5-Years as Grand Ole Opry Member

Carrie Underwood celebrated her 5-Year anniversary as a member of THE GRAND OLE OPRY  on June 7th 2013! We love you Carrie! Check out the video!

At just 30 years old, it’s hard to believe that Carrie Underwood has already been a member of the Grand Ole Opry for five years. The Grammy-winning country singer celebrated her anniversary on Friday (June 7) by closing out the first of two performances on the infamous Opry stage with a special segment.

After she sang, a special video presentation highlighted the ‘Good Girl’ star’s five years as an Opry member. Then, Underwood had the opportunity to say a few words.

“It’s so hard to believe it’s been five years, but what an amazing five years it has been,” she said (quote via CMIL). “Just watching that video, I was getting a little teary-eyed, thinking about how I felt when all of that was happening. And I still feel that blessed and that honored to be on this stage.”

Pete Fisher, the Opry Vice President and General Manager, presented Underwood with a special print to commemorate the occasion.

“You have far surpassed the high expectations we had when we brought you into the family, and we know it is going to continue into the future,” he told her. “You are not only so good for country music, you are so good for the Grand Ole Opry, and you are so good for America. We appreciate all that you do.”

Underwood was welcomed to the Opry by Garth Brooks in 2008. She’ll take the legendary stage for a sold-out crowd again on July 5 and 6.

Congrats to Underwood for five great years as a Grand Ole Opry Member. Here’s to many more!
