Talking with Rolling Stone for their third annual Grammy Preview issue, Carrie Underwood talks about her latest album, Denim & Rhinestones and how she persuaded Axl Rose to sing at the Stagecoach festival last summer. She also admits she’s disappointed when she sees an artist whose live set doesn’t hold up to their records stating after being asked a question about her Grammy success:

I love to sing, and I’ve always taken pride in the work I’ve put in on my vocals. I do want to sound good. Growing up and going to concerts or seeing my favorite artists on TV, if they didn’t sound like they were supposed to sound, it was always so deflating. I’d lose respect for them. Or when I’d go to a concert and hear them drop keys, I was like, “You can’t hit the notes! Why’d you record them if you can’t sing them?” That stuff is important to me.
