American Idol Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood appeared on last night’s American Idol final and closed the show with Home Sweet Home.

Her cover of the original hit by Mötley Crüe has aired on each results show during the Top 12 as the goodbye theme for contestants leaving the competition.

I have come to really love Carrie’s music in recent years and whilst this performance wasn’t anywhere near as moving as her earlier appearance on the series with Randy Travis, it was still a great effort. I can’t find an embeddable version of Carrie’s performance last night, but here is a version of the song she recorded earlier.
