Carrie Underwood's Heartfelt Update On Isaiah's "Little Drummer Boy" Performance

Carrie Underwood's stories of her son Isaiah singing "Little Drummer Boy" with her for her My Gift album have brought a lot of smiles and joy to her fans' lives this holiday season, but an update brings some sadness. The once childlike way that nearly 6-year-old Isaiah sang the song, with his adorable "pa-wum-pum-pum-pum," has changed over time. Underwood shared with Taste of Country that Isaiah now pronounces the lyrics correctly, saying "pa-rum-pum-pum-pum." This shift has tugged at her heartstrings, making her realize that a cherished moment has slipped away.

As time flies by, it’s natural for children to grow and change. Underwood reflects on how quickly they grow up, reminding us all to cherish those fleeting moments of innocence. Her son’s performance of "Little Drummer Boy" has been a highlight of her new Christmas album and an unforgettable part of her HBO Max Christmas special. However, she also describes how, after his big moment, Isaiah soon lost interest and wanted to go home, showcasing the simplicity and innocence of childhood.

Underwood believes that despite the changes, Isaiah was proud of his performance and excited to share it with his friends at school. She recalls how special the recording moment was, where Isaiah dressed up proudly to sing for Jesus. As a mother, she treasures the innocence and joy he brought to that experience, while also creating a lasting audio memory she can hold onto as he grows up.
