Great performance of Blown Away on American Idol

I´m still

at her performance on Idol!
Trully amazing!
It made me buy "Blown Away" (my first country album ever!) right after that!

Wow ! Gorgeous and very talented, but that doesn't explain why some retarted and talentless singers use to gain much more attention (at least during her non-flopped phases).

Her performance of "Blown Away" on Idol was truly outstanding and proves why she ranks amongst my all-time fave artists. 8-)

Fave Album: Carnival Ride
Fave Song: "I Know You Won't"

I had never listened to Carrie’s music before Good Girl came out, but now I’m totally in love with Her. I’ve only listened to Blown Away, I’ll get into the others soon too.
I’m gonna order all of her albums of Amazon soon and buy Blown Away when it is released in Ireland
On first listen to Blown Away I wasn't very optimistic about liking it, but after a few listens I can now say I love it, Carrie’s vocals are really great and the stories told through her songs are beautiful, While at the same time heartbreaking.
My favourite tracks are Blown Away, Two Black Cadillacs, Who Are You, Nobody Ever Told You, Good In Goodbye and Forever Changed.

so great a lot of members actually adore the new album and that fact helped them to discover Carrie!
her vocal is wonderful and amazing!

The exact same thing happened with me! On first listen, I was super disappointed as the album wasn't as instant with me as her first three records were, but after giving it a second try, I can safely deem this album a success! I love how some of the tracks are dark, a departure from her "safer" sound.

The highlights for me are "Good Girl", "Cupid's Got A Shotgun", "Two Black Cadillacs", and "Leave Love Alone". As for "Blown Away", that track is just a masterpiece. True to it's title, it just blew me away. :lol:

Carrie has held the title of my fave Country artist jointly with Taylor but Swift's gotta deliver this fall 'cause I'm really impressed with Blown Away.

Fave Album: Carnival Ride
Fave Song: Start With A Goodbye (Made me a fan back in the day).
Fave Video: Just A Dream
Fave Album Artwork: Blown Away

I like some hearts, carnival ride and blown away equal. But they are different in their own right. Carnival ride is just consistent. Everything about it fits it.

Play on is not up with her other three in my opinion. But it's still a very solid album. It has her best first single: Cowboy Casanova.

Said that, I love this talented girl. Enrichment for music nowadays

All indications are pointing to a second week at #1 too, the very first time she would have accomplished the feat!

I never heard this cover from her... It's absolutely amazing...: Coldplay - Fix You.

Oooh Carrie... She did this one justice!

by **Glen2012** » Sat Jan 05, 2013 12:47 am

I can't wait to see her in Belfast in March!!!

Yes, she did an amazing cover of that song. Did you hear her perform "Alone" on American Idol? She did an amazing version of that too! I'd even say it's better than the original. :wink:

Now that I think of it, she's done a number of phenomenal covers: "I'll Stand By You", "Independence Day", "Praying For Time", "Alone", and "Home Sweet Home" were all incredible and all, in my opinion, stronger than the original recordings.

Yeah her cover of 'Alone' is truly Amazing. You're Right, she has a bunch of amazing covers. I don't know all the originals so it's a bit hard to compare for me

What I do know is that Carrie is FAB!

If you think you have rare performances I may never have seen, you can post it

!

by **JSparksFan** » Sun Jan 06, 2013 8:23 am

^ I wouldn't call this performance rare but I just want to promote it because it's my favourite live performance from Carrie ever! It's her "I Know You Won't" live performance at the People's Choice Awards in 2009. The emotion is so genuine and her vocals are just...breathtakingly powerful. Her voice is very well controlled here too, no pointless shrieking, just belting her heart out when the song calls for her to. And on top of it all, she looks stunning!

Have you heard it?

by **GetBack** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 10:19 am

I really love her voice!

I'm gonna see her on Thursday so excited!!!

by **JSparksFan** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 10:05 pm

^^ So jealous of you two right now! I'd kill (figuratively speaking, of course) to see her live!

Oh, and happy 30th birthday to Miss Carrie Marie Underwood!

I love how she said that this isn't really her 30th birthday but the first anniversary of her 29th. :lol:

by **GetBack** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 2:00 am

I can't believe she's 30 already!

Carrie killed it tonight!!!!!, she changed up the set list a bit, no Just A Dream :cry:

but we got Some Hearts instead

also no cover of Fix You.
It was such an amazing concert, small and intimate, vocals were on point. I was amazed that nearly everyone new all the words, I'll try and upload some video's later, if I can figure out how
