Carrie Underwood Rocks Like A Whisker On A Kitten

Carrie Underwood as Julie Andrews? (Well, obviously, based on the Rodgers & Hammerstein reference in the headline).
And Beyonce gets to be Judy Garland. Apparently that's one producer's idea of "rock."
Those two will be part of the "Movies Rock" that will be filmed Sunday at the Kodak Theater for a two-hour prime-time special airing Dec. 7 on CBS. A spinoff of "Fashion Rocks," the initial lineup seems rather devoid of anything resembling "rock."
Underwood will perform "The Sound of Music," Beyonce gets to tackle “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and Mary J. Blige and John Legend will duet on “As Time Goes By.” Where exactly the rock performers or even rock songs are is anyone's guess.
Being given medley duty are Elton John (an actual rock artist, but he gets animated films), Jennifer Hudson (James Bond tunes) and composer John Williams conducting an orchestra doing his own work.
David Paich, who occasionally rocked as a member of Boz Scaggs' early '70s band before creating Toto, will be the music coordinator.

Ever been to a country music show only to hear the artist break out a rock song? Pop and country stars will always leach off rock n' roll (even if it is in name only) because you can't beat the basics.
