Carrie Underwood’s Idol Elimination Song Benefits Humane Society
Written by Vegetarian Star on March 10th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Female Singers.
Since Carrie Underwood won American Idol in 2005, she never had the “farewell” song played for her, but this season, she’ll be singing it for everyone else sent home weekly.
Motley Crue’s “Home Sweet Home” has been chosen for the song that’s played while the losing contestant’s Idol experiences are portrayed on the screen.
In the past, tunes sung by former Idols Ruben Studdard and Chris Daughtry have been used as farewell songs.
Carrie’s version of the song will be available on iTunes March 16th, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Humane Society of the United States.
The vegetarian singer said in a press release:
“I’ve always loved this song, and besides being very fitting for Idol, to me, the title is also very fitting with animal rescue and finding animals their own homes.”
The singer has professed her love for animals in the past, even saying that she’d choose animals over men, because she’s found lots of good animals, but not a good man.

I have several vegetarian songs. A funny one (with video) is presently my feature video on YouTube “Don’t Eat Like a Barbarian”. Another, also on YT, is “Maybe J.C. was a vegetarian”. My YT channel is: youtube.com/PCWSeymour.
“My Boots Aint Made of Leather” is a rollicking country rock song about a vegetarian cowboy (only available on iTunes).
