Country singer and Idol finalist Carrie Underwood held a concert with Keith Urban in Atlanta a few days ago and it was one memorable concert!
Carrie performed some of her most popular songs and one in particular got lots of attention; ‘Don’t Forget to Remember Me’ from her album Some Hearts.
This song was inspired by Carries life and her mom. In it she says: “Hey Momma … tell Me-maw that I miss her. Yeah, I should give her a call. And make sure you tell Daddy that I'm still his little girl”.
Carrie feels very emotional about this song and shed a few tears as she performed it, but it was when she got to the chorus, that she really broke down in tears!
