Carrie Underwood performed during this Tuesday’s episode of American Idol. Singing “Home Sweet Home” during a video montage, the blond beauty was dressed all in black and did a great job, as usual! What did you think?

Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban are taking some time out of their busy schedules for separate performances on this week’s season finale of American Idol.

Carrie will be performing “Home Sweet Home” on Tuesday, May 19th, and Carrie, 19 Recordings, Sony Music Nashville, and iTunes are donating a portion of the sales proceeds of the “Home Sweet Home” digital single to The Humane Society of the United States.

Keith is taking time away from his Escape Together World Tour for a performance on Wednesday, May 20’s continuation of the season finale.

About the show, Keith says, “I think this year, in particular, has been one of the best for American Idol. There are some truly gifted vocalists. The Rat Pack episode was the best, across the board, nights of singing that I’ve ever seen on television. I guess what I love most about the show, is watching the musical growth — to see them use the critique given and come back the next week and blow you away. That’s the magic of Idol.”

The episodes air at 8/7c on FOX, Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
