OlderCarrie Underwood: No Respect for Celebs who Endorse Candidates
Country music superstar Carrie Underwood has lost all respect for Oprah, Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney and other celebrities who have backed candidates for office.
While talking about the presidential race with TV Guide, Carrie revealed, “There is someone I do support, but I don’t support publicly. I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate.”
“It’s saying that the American public isn’t smart enough to make their own decisions,” she explains. “I would never want anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to. Music is where you go to get away from all the BS. Whether it’s from politics or just the world around you, music should be an escape.”

Music is a form of art. Art is a form of communication.
Judging by this Carrie’s lack of talent and trashy opinion, she is not a true artist. thank you.
When did Jennifer Aniston endorse a particular candidate, she did do a get out and vote commercial but she never said who she was voting for.
I think she is cool, but I also think that what she said was idiotic. Celebrities have every right to broadcast their opinion as much as we do and I don’t think Oprah gives a **** about this blonde’s respect for her. Carrie try not to take yourself too seriously you only got where you are because of a reality show moron.
very well said, but i also believe celebrities could voice out whom they like just like any ordinary people, as long they don’t endorse them.
When will she stop criticizing others?
Everyone- celebs or not- has the right to express their opinions/preferences.
Somebody please tell her to shut up.
do you know whats funny? she is here because people PUBLICLY supported her!!! and then voted! what a stupid ungrateful *****! when it was in her favour she didnt care, and now that people are supporting someone she is agaisnt them. im really mad right now. i liked her until this retarded idiotic comment. she can go get stuffed.
OBAMA HAS GOT THIS THING WON! SCREW THIS COW!
On a serious note; is she saying fans of the famous celebs are so stupid that they don’t know how to judge a candidate for themselves and hear what they are offering America for it’s future?
Is she saying that celebs (who are people too), who also want change and difference in society and they world do not have a right to an opinion and to believe in their own country?
Another dumb blonde with nothing but air in her head!
matters, and all the people who say she is supposedly dumb, you are fools. she is right, obama openly supports obama. btw she was magna *** laude in college and 2nd in her high school class. its fact.
what a cow. why are all republicans so judgemental?
she has a magna *** laude from and is actually an obama supporter. and idiots, she never told anyone NOT to vote. fools. she just send she will not openly support anyone. stupid.
Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood are Republicans. It’s no wonder she would make a statement like that. I feel sorry for racist people that can’t except some one that’s different from them self.
I had no respect for Jennifer Aniston any way.
how do you know that she is a bloody republican? she never said she was, she just said she will not tell people who to vote for because its a personal decision.
RIGHT ON! TOTALLY AGREE.
shes a dumbass…. people have the right to voice their own opinion
celebs dont think people will listen to them
their just very excitied, so carrie i have lost total respect for you
you could of kept that to yourself
p.s. your music sucks!!!!
Uh, this is our right…celebrity or not. It’s just like having a conversation with anyone you talk to about the candatide you choose…you either tell them or you don’t. You shouldn’t lose respect over it! If you put a bumper sticker on your car, put a shirt on your body, or put a sign in your yard, that’s your perogative. I don’t think celebrity’s try and swey the voters, they’re just giving their opinion.
She must support McCain.
she has multiple grammys, female vocalist awards, and is getting RAVE reviews on her tour.
She didn’t mention any celebrity by name but I’d guess she’s specifically talking about John Rich, who’s been shilling for John McCain and even wrote a crappy song called Raisin’ McCain.
Look who just put her foot in her mouth!
It’s no mystery must country people are Rep.
But Americans are too stupid to make up their own minds so they need all the help they can get. One only needs to look at Reagan, Bush and potentially Palin to see that we need to do whatever we can to make sure Americans are pressured into voting and to stop them from using what they call their ‘brains’.
Sounds like she’s a McCain supporter who’s afraid to speak up. Why shouldn’t celebs talk about who they’re voting for *if they want to*? It’s their constitutional right. I have no respect for people who actually allow a celeb determine who they should vote for!
American celebrities have as much right as any other American…to express their views. Telling the public that they have no respect for others expressing their views is un American.
don’t know who the hell she is, but thank god! someone who at last speaks some sense. Not everyones fans vote the way celebs do, and it’s insulting to those who disagree. ‘It’s ok to take your money, but you are an idiot if you don’t vote my way!’.Politics should be between the person voting and the ballot box. No one else, not even your partner in life.
Ummm…excuse me but why would you assume the american public is so stupid that they’d vote for whoever Clooney or Oprah would endorse? Also, this election is the most important election of our time it has been infused in to every part of our culture, tv , news, books, music and movies. It doesn’t seem unreasonable that celebrities would like to be a part of it as well if they feel so passionately about the election.
Carrie Underwho is a dumb ugly *****
