Carrie Underwood and Steven Tyler are taking the stage together for "CMT Crossroads" on Saturday and bonded over their shared "American Idol" experience. "You were why I took judging for 'Idol,' you are exactly why," Tyler told Underwood in a preview for the CMT Crossroads, which can be seen below. "Not only could you sing good, but you adapted to this...it's a pit! It's a deep, dark, ominous pit. And you get out there on-stage at night with that band, that great band you've got and you make people feel happy, first and foremost. All the rest, if people knew what we went through to get out on that stage... you have gotten past that and not a lot of people do - they have to get through drugs and alcohol, booze and divorces and even those didn't make it. You were a natural at it."
