  • This is a masterpiece!

  • When she sings that high note, I swear I get goosebumps every time! Probably my favorite performance of Carrie's

  • Very good cover, but i couldnt feel Ann's emotion that she put in the song that adds soul to the original version.

  • Lets See Taylor Swift Do this LOLZ

  • What a star!

  • She really needs to do a cover of this. Officially.

  • I,m a Taiwanese. I really want to earn enough money to fly to America and to see Carrie in person~><~~Gosh!!!SUPER FAN FROM TAIWAN!!

  • She does such beautiful cover. Best I have ever heard.

  • I hadn't kept up with the music scene. When I saw Carrie do "Alone" on Idol, I asked my wife who did it originally. It reminded my of a lead singer of the group "A Boy and His Dog" that I loved in a small nightclub near Seattle when I was in the Army in 1970. When I was told it was originally done by Heart I researched and found that Ann Wilson was that singer! This video shows that when Carie sang Alone with Heart, she held back to not outdo Ann on her signature song. Classy!

  • I wan't to be that microphone.

  • @RainHNg ahh that's ok. I can use that video2mp3 site. I just wanted to check of there was an official version first. But thanks anyway :) p.s it's pretty good quality anyway compared to some others)

  • @stottie92 ah..got it.

    IIRC there's no official version of Carrie covers 'Alone', except the one she did in American Idol Season 4 (I think they released it as part of AI DVD collection or something like that...)

  • Does anyone know if i can purchase/download Carries cover of Alone anywhere? Because this is AMAZING! I have it on repeat and get chills every time she hits those high notes!

  • @stottie92 If you don't mind the low audio-quality nature of this low quality clip, then I can rip it for u...

  • Take THAT all you lip synchers today!  Just a woman, a mic and an outrageous voice.

  • @lcowles

    Agree ! That was exactly my thought when i first listen to this performance 3 years ago.

  • @lcowles INDEED!

  • @lcowles And so many people are jealous of Carrie. She has such an amazing voice. I love this one by her.

  • @lcowles thank you,I am crazy for how Carrie can sing Alone,this version is even better on those one of AI,I am crazy for all that Carrie does,her voice is Grace of God...she is gift to us and so many generation..."Just a women,a mic and an awesome voice...that can take you to heaven..." - she always does that. There's no word to explain how great Carrie is!!!

  • wow!!!!

  • Carrie is amazing...in every way shape and form...while i prefer Kelly, i can't deny Carrie is phenomenal

  • BEST version of this song ever ! love carrie <3 i get chills every time she hits that note

  • can somebody please get me the chords he plays ?

    there are hardly any chords of alone in an acoustic setting, only the original one :/

  • Carrie is AMAZING!! Makes me proud to be an Okie! She has the most smooth, flawless voice of any female singer....EVER! She is also way, way, way prettier than J-Lo, who was voted the most beautiful woman in the world (ugh)! I love this song & Carrie does it perfect. However, I do wish she would do more COUNTRY. She has strayed from that path big time! So, with the comments I just made, I have to admit, I am not a big fan. But facts are facts folks, Carrie Underwood has it all!

  • @OULUVINCHICK Nah, she hasn't strayed from country. All 3 of her albums are all country!

  • wow.. NOTHING.. and i mean NOTHING.. will ever top this cover of alone. it is even better than the original.

  • All the looooong back & forth argues / bitchings (that noone gives a sh*t, or at-least I don't) won't be tolerated.

    Switch to PM mode if u want to kill each other with your comments :P

  • Lol . she amazinn

  • Carrie makes it look so flawless & effortless to sing like that.. I'm amazed by her every time she opens her mouth..

  • It actually compares to Anne's. That's the highest compliment I can give.

  • phenomenal 

  • BEAutiful Western European American...

  • Best Carrie performance ever, that note she hit made my heart stop- AAAAUHHHLLOONNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!­!

  • @deehajji I think she did

  • Regardless of the genre, great music is what it is.

  • Taylor Swift drags her knuckles when she walks. Her arms are freakishly long!

  • Beautiful

    

  • 1:59 ......... nuff said...

  • She, at some point, needs to cut this as an album track! LOVE it

  • She's probably the BEST American Idol winner.

    She DEFINITELY deserved, and still deserves to be out there showing her talent:)

    I love Carrie Underwood♥♥

  • @umBRITe \

    NO WAY! Kelly screams...Carrie is so controlled and powerful!

  • wow. just "wow"

  • carrie, please visit my country !!!

    indonesia<<<love your country music<<<

  • @manessams me too!!!!!

  • I wish she would officially record this song. She does it so well!

  • @Josie1023 me too!

  • The clarity of her voice is amazing....not just that she hits all those notes FULL on...no head voice cheating. 

  • Ann Wilson and Heart are amazing, esp. this song. That said, Carrie did an amazing job on this. I love the violins with her, it really puts a great spin on the song.

    I am not a country music fan, this girl is special.

  • @KNOWCLEW Actually have you seen the performance of Carrie with Heart? It's ear candy

  • im going into a competition and i am singing that really high note and i am so nervous any tips from anyone????

  • im going into a competition and i am singign that really high note and i am so nervous any tips from anyone????

  • incredible singer. even Celine Dion can't manage to belt out the high F# (or F as she sang the whole song in a lower key). Carrie is amazing, especially considering she claimed to never have any formal vocal training. So powerful

  • Carrie is the best thing thats happened to music in a long time! Love Her!

  • I would love to know the range on this song... because all those notes were flawless and obvioulsy this is a handful of a song... she's so incredible lol... it''s almost not fair lol

  • Amazing voice, especially considering its a relatively low budget stage and setup. Only criticism is I think it would be nicer with a harmony singer too. I'd have to say this actually nearly is better than even many of Hearts live performances.

    But its not her song.

  • Man, has she ever developed into one POWERFUL vocalist. What separated her from other female vocalists who can hit high notes, is her ability to project. Awesome

  • wow at 1:58 that note is crazy!!

  • Proof that sometimes you really *do* find Talent in talent shows... holy crap, that girl can sing. 0_0

  • thanks for whoever posted this i wish she would record this and put it on her next album

  • that shit is raw....STRONG!!!!!

  • 0.o okay, her voice is super human! =))

    her high notes totally blows me away!!!!

    better than what Celine Dion's high notes ever did!

  • Her singing is effortless, great singer

  • if u look at carrie underwood from when she first auditioned for idol and look at her now......wat a transformation but no matter wat shes always Beautiful............seriously­!!!!!!!

  • Must have the audio of this song. MUST have it.

  • in my opinion her best performance ever- OUTSTANDING!

  • I'm 13 and can sing this like Carrie... BUT IT'S NOT ON YOUTUBE if you're curious.

    I also can play this on violin...

  • @Storyofmylife6027 im sure you can........

  • If you like this vid..

    this one will make you chills

    watch?v=6OzToEkJ-vc

  • @einnaorecul not reaaaaaally lol i think carries sounds better.

  • @gallaril000 that's correct.... I like Charice, but she sometimes screams, it's not singing anymore.

  • Good job but I like this unpolished 2007 version from the the current Journey lead singer: /watch?v=4WlwNjohpEI&feature=r­elated

  • 1:58

    :D :D :D :D : D amazing.

  • i don't know if it's been done before but, the violin is amazing in this song! Also in the duet of her and heart, the church organ sound is also amazing. In other words this song is versitile as hell and heart is amazing! How's that for canadian content!!! :)

  • search ARNEL PINEDA sings ALONE.. mind you his a guy...

  • search ARNEL PINEDA sings ALONE..

  • @bconsitt i like celine, but that note was amazing though, i didnt know she could do that note that well, best f#5 i think ive heard

  • @kdogmich15 Yeah, nice F#5. I think it's only worse than Kelly Clarkson ones.

    But anyway, it was amazing!

  • @EDDsp2009 I like Kelly's too, they are just different I guess, besides go any higher than that and Kelly will slaughter pretty much anyone, and Kelly has a really unique voice.

  • @kdogmich15 kelly and carrie both have nice chesty F#s that are rich and powerful. not celine though. :(

  • @EDDsp2009

    Carries tone here and power FAR surpasses Kelly.....her vibrato is stunning!! Its clear and bright!

    Carrie is the BEST of ALL the idols!!

  • @MrPintopbeano i wouldn't say she's better than kelly. But i love them both.

  • @bconsitt LMAO funny I find you here xD

  • i remember you skid row cover

  • Carrie's just the best, enough said. =)

  • I really like this song and love heart. I can sang her tone too. But not this time.

  • THIS WAS GREAT!! MARIAH CAREY AND WHINEY HOUSTON WHO??

  • @repenttyourself what's with your constant trolling in these videos lately?? i quit doing that with kelly like two years ago. it's time to grow up.

  • @repenttyourself get a life...

  • One Of my best Song And Lyrics and Love it

  • I agree TFM!!!

  • This is outstanding...Nancy is still better.

  • @nverga no ..WAY. this version trumps nancy's imo. this is way more personal and has more "heart" than heart.

  • @nverga ...Carrie's vocals of Alone are just as good as Ann's...not Nancy....before making a statement at least know what you are talking about...Ann Wilson sang this..Nancy Wilson, Ann's sister was the guitarist ...Ann has a great voice but Carrie is better...

  • @HideTheTruthInside

    I believe Nancy Wilson sang the verses and Ann Wilson sang the chorus or refrain, whatever it's called. At least that's how they did it on one show I saw.

  • wow! she is so amazing, i love you carrie!

  • u really great singer!!! luv u carrie

  • 2:06 = goosebumps.  wow, she is phenomenol, nobody can beat those vocals

  • She should sing this song in concert! THE most memorable Idol performance of hers!

  • Best performace I've ever seen her do! OUTSTANDING- AAALLLLOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEE­EEEEE!

  • She is even better in person and Sooooo nice!!

  • Best idol ever!!

  • she's one of a kind!

  • Amazing Voice this girl has!

  • Amazing....thats all I can is this is amazing. She does such a good job.

  • Would love to have an MP3 of this, stunning. I'd say this is the best I've ever heard Carrie perform.

  • ok..at 1:59 Ann Wilson (of Heart, the original performers of this song) does that run, and it is the entire centrepeice of the song...the key change and the run...it's the goosebump moment every time... the fact that Carrie skipped it on American Idol when she performed this song has always baffled me..it kinda proves that even though she has one of the greatest voices around she really doesn't get it artistically...if she'd done it it would have made the best AE performance ever legendary.

  • That girl did that.  1:59 is just ridiculous (in a very good way).

  • Just perfect. :)

  • Jesus . . . she's unreal.

  • one of the many few left that can actually sing live. This girl doesn't need any fancy computerized equipment to alter her voice in the recording studio. They have to tell her "honey tone it down you're too good" i bet!

  • Gees....I just found this....Wow....Just AMAZING!

  • @robwheelut what a stupid retarded thing to say. country has the best vocalists in music. to be a country singer you HAVE t o be able to sing well LIVE on TOUR and in STUDIO. this is proof. this martina mcbride, faith hill, brad paisley, miranda lambert. do research before you run your mouth.

  • @ankatz Taylor Swift. Just sayin'.

  • Comment removed

  • @futon - Not sure what your sayin, but I don't think it's debatable to say that Carrie's voice is MUCH more powerful than Taylor's. Taylor could never pull of a vocal performance like that.

  • @PLCJockey I was saying that Taylor Swift sings like a hinge. :) Carrie is fantastic tho, and I don't even like country myself, but I can appreciate a good vocal regardless of genre. :)

  • @ankatz Really? My research says Celine, Whitney, Mariah are considered the best females. And for the males its a long list of rock, and r&b singers. True opera singers are the best considering they have to project their voice through a concert hall with no microphone.

  • holy freaking shit, that was insane! that has got to be one of her best performances EVER!

  • omg that was amazing.

  • i could listen to this song a million and one times i love it. she is the best vocalist ever

  • i dont like country but i think carrie is amazingly beautiful and vocally tallented. this is amazing. forgive spelling

  • so effortlessly... best vocalist in history.. real talk.

  • girl can sing, no doubt..dayum.

  • her and amy lee are two of a kind i still say even though she is country i know she could knock an evanesence song out of the ball park.

  • How the FRACK can she not have an official cover to this song? She's sang so many different versions and they're all fantastic!!

  • I have never heard someone cover this song as well as Carrie. It's AMAZING. I want her to do an official recorded cover of it SO badly. I actually prefer Carrie's vocals on this song to Ann Wilson's. Carrie is just outstanding. This is truly one of her best vocals EVER.

  • it baffles me that i saw carly sing this on youtube and someone had the nerve to say Carrie Underwood did not have the chops to sing this song, yet, i'm pretty darn sure, when carly sang it, ALL of her high notes were completely breathy quiet and idk i could barely hear them, carrie sings it and im BLOWN away, now, i like carly, shes good on we are the fallen, but she does not have the chops to sing that type of music, nor 'alone', carrie is just WOW

  • omg...chills

  • Daaaaamn. "Alone" is a hard song to sing well, and she does an outstanding job.

  • when she sang this on idol i became a fan and this is better than on american idol!!! Great job carrie!!!!

  • Remember to go on cmt website and VOTE FOR CARRIE!!!! She's up for 3 awards: video of the year, female video, and her performance of "temporary home" on cmt insider. Please give carrie your upmost support! Let's show who's really the country queen. Carrie's given a solid performance-one after the over, and great albums + videos. Carrie's the BEST and cares so much for us fans-let's do the same for her. remember to vote before june!!

  • Carrie can sing ANYTHING! Love her. =)

  • She's awesome. But sometimes, I really catch her running out of breath. Plus the way she belts might put nodes to her vocal chords. She's dope though! Just concerned^^

  • @jakegates1092 Yup, she seems out of breath sometimes when singing some parts of 'Just A Dream'.. and it's more obvious in 'Change'.. but that's a really tough song to tackle

  • so powerful!

  • Vote for carrie at the CMT video awards!!! voting is now open, just go to the CMT website!

  • Wow! I love Carrie so much! Chills!

  • Mother of God...

  • Wow, I never watched American Idol so didn't see Carrie in action, but hearing her sing the chorus here... GOOSEBUMPS. Her voice gave me actual chills (this is such a good song for that).

    Now I'll have to look up some of her past performances.

  • WOW! amazing!

  • i get goosebumps every time i hear her sing.

  • This has to be one of her most brilliant performances.

  • Amazing voice. The problem with Carrie though, is that she had a great, easy life and there is very little emotion in her voice when she sings. She needs to find some problems.

  • @BigxxBang who are you to say that she had an easy life?... Maybe she has had experiences that you dont know about. . . . I think she does amazing in this song and has alot of emotion.

  • @BigxxBang you need to get the freak out of here? yeah, let her go find problem? she can empathize.

  • She is absolutely amazing. I'm going to see her on May 5th. I'm sooo excited!

  • Voting is now open for the 2010 Entertainer Of The Year category at ACM Awards. Please head on over NOW and vote for Carrie!!! Every.single.vote counts, so we need to make sure we really step it up and vote hard!

  • She could make so amazing music... But here songs on her cds are much tooo slow... Her best song ever is before he cheats... I also like so small, which she has co-written i think... On Play on there is only quitter, which i like... But her voice is amazing.

  • Help CARRIE make ACM HISTORY & VOTE FOR HER FOR THE 2010 ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR!!!!!

  • great song, great cover, that's it

  • i know this is blasphemous, i do love ann lewis, and celine is great in her own right. but carrie's voice sounds a bit cleaner in in control for me on this song, i think it's my fave. ann shows a bit more emotion though which is great - of course, it's her song.

  • @pantalones7 Could the girl you are referring to be "Ann Wilson?" She and her sister Nancy are the original artists...Heart is the group.

  • @Wagonmaster74 you're so right! my bad!

  • @pantalones7 Ann Wilson not lewis.

  • she is just amazing

    that was so beautiful

  • is she even trying to sing??? so effortless... my goodness.. !

  • soooo AMAZING!! LOVE HER!&hearts;

  • carrie is sooo amazing but the that guy great too

  • 1:59 KILLSSSSSSS me

  • so amazing... <3 <3 <3 her... ;)

  • WOW!!!
