American Idol Judge Carrie Underwood Won Season 4 Of The Show In 2005
The new season of American Idol recently kicked off its Hollywood Week performances, with new judge Carrie Underwood behind the judges’ table with Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.
While Underwood is new to judging American Idol, she isn’t new to the show. She’s an alum herself, having competed on (and won) the show’s fourth season in 2005.

As she’s been judging the new season of Idol, Underwood has been revisiting some of her past moments and memories from her own time on the show.
For example, Idol recently shared a clip of Underwood looking back on her Hollywood Week performance. During the video, Underwood admitted that she “totally mess[ed] up” during her performance, and forgot the lyrics.
“I did forget the words, but I feel like in that moment it was more about how you jumped back in,” she said.
