She is my favourite too! (But not because of her singing!)

Oddmakers Make Underwood Early ‘Idol’ Favorite
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Carrie Underwood is no “American Idol” underdog. In fact, the 21-year-old Oklahoma native with the voice made for country is the competition’s favorite, according to odds supplied by online oddsmakers BetWWTS.com.
The set of odds, established in the immediate aftermath of the first set of “American Idol” eliminations on Wednesday (Feb. 23) night, have Underwood as an 11/4 favorite. Mario Vazquez, a 27-year-old New Yorker who wowed the judges with a Michael Jackson cover, was the second pick with 7/2 odds. Anwar Robinson and Vonzell Solomon, both gifted with much early exposure, were a joint third choice at 6/1.
The good people at BetWWTS.com are much less enthusiastic about Joseph Murena and Janay Castine, both longshots at 50/1. Things also don’t look particularly good for Celena Rae, installed at 35/1.
Lest you doubt the oddsmakers’ credibility, the odds at the start of the Final 12 last “American Idol” season had Fantasia Barrino as the top choice and Diana DeGarmo as a popular second option. BetWWTS.com also tapped Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken as early favorites.
The next round of “American Idol” performances begins on Monday (Feb. 28) with four more eliminations next Wednesday.
