Country singer Carrie Underwood said on Wednesday she is going "Unplugged" for the VH1 music series and will share the story of her rise to fame from "American Idol" to five-time Grammy winner for the TV show "Behind the Music".

Underwood, 29, told VH1's morning show "Big Morning Buzz Live" that she would record the stripped-down music session later this week in New York.

"VH1 Presents: Carrie Underwood Unplugged" will premiere on October 2 and will feature songs from her latest album "Blown Away" and past hits.

The "Jesus, Take the Wheel" singer will also be profiled in the cable network's documentary series "Behind the Music" later this fall.

Underwood has sold more than 15 million albums since winning TV singing competition "American Idol" in 2005, making her the best-selling "Idol" contestant in the United States.

"Blown Away", released in May, debuted at No 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.


The musician's life is also as romantic and colorful as his exquisite music pulse.

He says his wife, Shanghai-born cellist Cheng Jiaxin, 37, whom he met in 2000, inspires him. "Music has certainly brought us together. It's the ultimate food of love."

Lloyd Webber had been married before, and thus, he was very careful about marriage. But the couple's romantic attachment made them believe that it will work.

On the day of the wedding in 2009, the couple recall, the sun suddenly came out one hour before the ceremony after raining the whole morning. The rest of the day was clear.

"It was a wonderful day and the marriage actually made us grow stronger together," Lloyd Webber says.
