And they’ll each for up for another at the 2017 Grammy Awards.
Nominees were announced on Tuesday. Joining Carrie and Kelly on the list are Jennifer Hudson, Season 3 Voice winner Cassadee Pope and former Idol judge Keith Urban.
Carrie owns seven of 13 Grammys won by former American Idol contestants. This year she’s nominated for best country solo performance for “Church Bells” from her “Storyteller” album.
And remember Kelly’s oh-so emotional performance of “Piece by Piece” when she returned as a guest judge on Idol last spring. The recording earned her a nomination for best pop solo performance.
As or Cassadee, she’d become the first former contestant from The Voice to win a Grammy if she and Chris Young prevail in the best country duo or group performance category. They’re nominated for their number one duet, “Think of You.”
Beyonce leads all artists with nine nominations, followed by eight apiece for Rihanna and Drake. Adele received five nominations and will get going head to head with Beyonce for album of the year, record of the year and song of the year honors.
Here are the signing show nominees and the artists they’ll be up against.
Best Country Solo Performance: “Church Bells” by Carrie Underwood, “Blue Ain’t Your Color” by Keith Urban, “Love Can Go to Hell” by Brandy Clark, “Vice” by Miranda Lambert and “My Church” by Maren Morris
