Carrie Underwood's role as judge on "American Idol" comes with a side-gig. The singer is to lead the web series "Idol To Icon," which will be released as a companion to the singing competition. It will air on YouTube starting on March 4th, serving as a table-setter for the series itself, which makes its debut on ABC on Sunday, March 9th. Each webisode will cover a different part of the competition as the season progresses, with the last episode covering her finale memories and ultimate Idol winning moment.
