Nobody has ever sang this song with more power than Elvis. Noboby has ever sang this song with as much compassion as Carrie. At 1:40 the entire audience is following Vince's guitar through the gates of heaven. There really is a God!!!
Beautiful! I've seen it a thousand times and a thousand time I cry!!! Indeed "how great art thou" is our lord!!!!!! Always been my favorite song, but never heard anyone sing it and know and feel the holy ghost!!!!! Thank you Carrie!
Can someone please tell me who the women are (3:26) that keep popping up on my television screen during various awards shows? The blonde and the brunette with the bad bangs?
Everyday I watch this video,,Really GOD is AMAZING ,he is there with you no matter what happens,never let go of you,undying love..HOW GREAT THOU ART!ALL GLORY AND HONOR TO YOU OH LORD!thanks Carrie ur GOD's amazing instrument !Always remninding us that HE IS THE ONLY GOD WHO RUINS FOREVER AND LOVE US INSPITE OF OUR SINS
I love that when she sings this she doesn't make it swing. It's so easy to make How Great Thou Art swingy but her version is lovelier for its straight on purity and emotion.
I have heard this at LEAST 50 times and still can't stop the tears ....it is next to Handles Masiah for me in evolking this much emotion and Vince Gill does it with no words needed.I thank you both ! !
She sang straight to God as if no one was there. God Bless You Carrie, I love Jesus take the wheel but this by far touched my heart, sooo I it passed it to F-B for family and friends. Iwant everyone to hear it and feel the Holy Spirit as I did. Katherine8700
I agree with CMUfanenglishfreak!! She is a PERFECT 10 ... this performance is a PERFECT 10!! I have listened to this a dozen times in as many days. I have posted it on my facebook. I LOVE IT!
love that she gives it all to God and understands that he gave her this amazing gift and that she can touch people's hearts. God Blessed and continue to bless Carrie Underwood
I never gave this kid any credit for her talent UNTIL I saw this when it was televised and my jaw just dropped. I have heard several versions or this song from different genres but THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVER HEARD. SHE'S TRULY AN ANGEL AND A VERY GIFTED ONE AT THAT!!! May she always be blessed and continue to share her music with others. Thank you
this performance brought so many memories back from my youth.....good ones at that! I had to fight back the tears as I recollected. I'm so proud of Carrie, she is the total package!
In 63 years on this earth, I have rarely been moved my a song, and the way the song was sung by an artist. I see this has been view well over 37,000 times so far on youtube. It should be 37,000,000.
Beautiful. Amazing. She makes American Idol look like a talentless show. I love her so much. Chills every time I hear her sing. And sometimes tears. <33
As a singer, Carrie Underwood inspires me SO much. She is so genuine, and puts so much emotion into everything she sings. She truly has the best voice I have ever heard, and I cannot wait for another album...she has a very long career ahead of her. Thank you, Carrie, for being you and inspiring so many people to follow their dreams.
@RyanCooleyFanx Haha, yeah. Particularly the last 2 lines, when there's no music at all. That's when you need a voice, girl! 'Til then you can keep a shiny guitar, a sparkly dress, and shake your heard maniacally. But when there's nothing else playing, you need CARRIE UNDERWOOD'S PIPES!
She owns is song. It's safe to say this will be her signature song for the rest of her career. She knocks this out of the park every single time. But this time...she topped even herself.
Man, she just have to make me cry. This performance is a genuine indication of how great she is vocally, and as a person. This is a gospel song, and no matter what religion you are, what beliefs you have, you will still watched this performance and go, wow. This girl is meant for big things. And when i say big things, i meant doing big things to people. She don't have to win awards to let people know her awesomeness. She has reached a point where people just know how awesome she is.
@MrJenuineC I love your comment, 'specially the bit about whatever religion you follow. I'm not Christian, but I feel really spiritual everytime I watch this performance. This woman is terrific!
Holy wow!!! This woman is simply perfect in every sense! There's a Female Vocalist for you! She got a standing Ovation halfway through the song!! Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant performance! I'm shaking and grinning at the same time. Effortlessly awesome! Best Idol ever, best woman in country music ever, best singer ever. GOD BLESS CARRIE UNDERWOOD!
@CMUfanenglishfreak you can tell how embarrassed and surprise by that standing ovation by her peers and at the end the rest of the audience joined in on it. I believe somebody said Carrie didn't rate this performance as a "10", well, Carrie this was a definitely a "10" and not many other singers can top this performance
my GOD that was beautiful

As I write this, there are tears in my eyes
That song was true country gospel music
I don't think the statement 'she's amazing' applies
But I don't care, you can use it
I think she's an angel with a voice of power
Able to move the heart and soul
With drops of rhythem fallng like a shower
She made me happy, and that was her goal
Thank you Carrie Underwood. You made my day.
