Carrie noted that her return to the singing competition show “feels like home.”
When asked what kind of a judge she’ll be, she answered, “I can’t lie. I feel like I’ll be very honest but hopefully I’ll also be very constructive and encouraging.”
“GMA’s” Sam Champion said he can’t imagine her being too harsh on the contestants, and Carried agreed, “Oh, gosh no. Just ask my kids.”
Underwood is taking over for Katy Perry, who departed the show after seven seasons.
Carrie will be juggling “American Idol” and her Las Vegas residency.
