I'm Convinced Carrie Underwood Is The Best American Idol Judge We've Had So Far (She Isn't A Part Of The Show's Issues)

Having Carrie Underwood return to the American Idol stage as a judge was a major moment for the long-running reality competition show. After all, Carrie, who won the competition back in 2004, is one of the biggest success stories to come from the show, having become a country superstar in the 20-plus years since she first broke through on American Idol. Carrie's a judge now, and while early episodes had fans concerned that Carrie wasn't cut out for the job, she's showing major signs of improvement and is showing herself to be a valuable asset to the judging table.
