Grammy Award-winning singer and ‘American Idol’ judge Carrie Underwood got an outsider perspective on just how much she has aced the NFL ‘Sunday Night Football’ theme song.
Since 2013, NBC’s Sunday Night Football program has used Carrie Underwood’s performance of their theme song, “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night.” Underwood replaced Faith Hill, who was featured on the SNF intro from 2007 to 2012.
A singer going by the name of “YANI” auditioned in front of Underwood, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan for season 23 of American Idol. Yani said she’d sing a “familiar” tune to the judges before launching into an Underwood-like rendition of the SNF theme song.
And Underwood was left speechless left over YANI’s masterful performance:
Bryan gave his verdict first, telling YANI it was a “no” since he found her performance of the Sunday Night Football song “theatrical.” Underwood gave it a yes, admitting that she wasn’t sure if Yani was “right for the show,” but she couldn’t say no to the voice.
The cameras then turned to Richie, who told YANI she was “so damn good at it.” The three judges then told her she was Hollywood-bound:
Congratulations to Yani on the successful audition, and best of luck the rest of the way on season 23 of American Idol.

The 2025 NFL regular season schedule likely won’t be announced until the second week of May. What we do know is that the NBC Sunday Night Football program will call Super Bowl 60 next season, with Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth in the booth.
This will be Mike Tirico’s first Super Bowl in the broadcast booth. He replaced Al Michaels as SNF’s play-by-play voice in 2022, after the former called Super Bowl 56 between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals with Collinsworth.

Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.
GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.
GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.
Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.
For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.
As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.
