[Shrinking20LT]

[asswhole239]

[slingstarhopper]

[BladeAndSoul]

dont like her nobody can beat kelly clarkson sry her personality sucks though. i mean carries personality sucks kellys personality is wonderful she has no hater videos at all cause she rules.

[SunDevlFan4Life]

That made no sense

[LOLCOPTER]

HAHAHA, SIMON'S LIKE MR.BEAN.

[trea3123]

good posture!!! amazing voice! love her!

[robtkwms]

Great content, Poor video.

[Khare93]

how can you possibly say her voice is weak

[votetherepublican08]

I like her better than george.

[Lennox2269]

soberkid you must be drunk because carrie underwood has an amazing voice. get your ears checked - she's incredible!!

[soberkid30]

ugh, this is sad. Her thin weak voice does this song no justice. I have to listen to George now to erase the memory of this.

[hikari1446]

don listen to it in the first place.

[xXbball16Xx]

She's my idol!

[bcmaze77]

ive tried to like her and i do like some of her up tempo stuff but when she tries to belt it just desnt work.its almost painful.shes a beautiful girl and i wish her the best but power ballads should be left to Kelly Clarkson.sorry just my opinion.i dont like this version of this song.George Michael sang the hell out of this.

[alowaaaaa]

Its funny how her fans are utter twats They just throw -1s at critcism

Im in the same case as u i tried liking her but just like beyonce, carrie cant do balads greatly because she isnt generous enough

When she sings its nice but she cant get enough emotion across her fans are gonna scream but rl artit do better

her nasally vocals are frustrating also peace

[neilhunk]

what i like this is she sang it in her own version. she improved the dull arrangement of the song

[trishhedleyfan]

this song is nice

[jloverb]

and she sings that sitting down, AND in a probably tight dress. she's got true talent

[CareBear31083]

Carrie is gorgeous!!

A brilliant and talented singer she is.

A legend at 25. AMAZING. <3

[gemini1751]

The song is called Praying For Time and when I read some of the comments posted here, I truly realize just how right those words are. We live in a world that is literally falling apart and this show was dedicated to helping those less fortunate. Yet so many of you came here simply to bash an amazing performance of a song that was desperately needed to be heard. I don't care whose version you like better. Listen to the lyrics and learn something.

[bagmfan72]

Sorry but everyone can sing but not all of us transmit emotions. for this reasons she is the shadow of george, FOR ME.

[ankatz]

are you deaf? she put emotion in every nuance of this performance- george even saw ...when asked- "wow she put her whole heart and soul into it, i must find an opportunity to thank her" you know nada

[bagmfan72]

sorry but you are not even the shadow of george. just enough

[Mayflower1357]

Not the shadow? Are you mad?

This version of the song is brilliant. Not a bit worse.

[XangelsfireX]

shes soooo beautifulll

[junfavila]

vocally equipped!

-

[paulinaabect]

OMG!!!

it was great

[zefronftw]

whoa

[neilhunk]

this is so heartfelt. thats why she received a standing ovation

[iraisari]

simon has a big head!

[drakebellfreak94]

look at simons hands carefully.........its small!!!!

[cherriesRawesome521]

OMG! UR RITE....lolz his head is big also...he looks like a bratz doll lolz

[robray6]

and everyone with aids in africa should be helped -and-yes they should be-but its all a scam-there are americans with aids-and veterans as well-yea-me-who cant get help and when we try get treated lower than whale shit on the ocean floor-i pray that this changes-and now

[sircharlesincharge]

carrie underwood is absolutely amazing. truely the grace of God is all over her life, and spills over to ours. to God be the glory.

[rika616]

Carrie Underwood ROCKS!

[jenny36996]

i met carrie she was at the baltimore concert while this was showing they filmed idol gives back 3 days early and if u dont believe me message me ill prove it!

[canadarules42]

who cares when she did it!

the point is that she actually did it.

and it was beautiful

[LittleWhiteShoes]

actually, she would b somewhere even without her fans. she wouldnt be anywhere without her VOICE. if u dont like her, then why did u watch this video?

[neilhunk]

i wonder if simon keeps track of carrie's career. what does he feel when carrie bags awards and recognition? does he watch her appearances? just curious

[pnoyguitar]

She makes more money than you guys.

[shorty140ti]

amazing song

[1SportyChick1]

she is beuatifull!

[fiddleDdee]

Carrie grew up on a cattle farm in Checotah Oklahoma

[carriefan100]

Wait! "you dont know the real Carrie Underwood"?? And how the fuck would "you" know the "real" Carrie Underwood? Carrie Underwood, does not just have a great voice, she also does so much for the world, a whole lot more that you do i bet. So fuck off, ur the "biotch" you bitch. Grow up.

[gimmeabreakate]

Gimmeabreak you people don't know the real Carrie Underwood, the one that is a self absorbed little biotch that won't even sign autographs unless cameras are rolling, this is the fakest biotch, and where the hell would she be without her fans, I will tell you where back in the trailer park where she belongs. She is an ungrateful little biotch that doesn't deserve to be where she is!

Back to the trailer park ho!

[roseallyn]

is that true???

how can u prove it!!!!??

[ankatz]

she didnt grow up in a trailer park you piece of shit, get a fucking life. she has done charity even before she was famous in school and college, graduated with honors, and continues to do a lot. what have you done? by doing this and people buying it on itunes she raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.so yes this does a lot. i have met her personally at her concerts and she is nicest and most humble person considering all that has happened to her.so go away.

[carriefan100]

Wait! "you dont know the real Carrie Underwood"?? And how the fuck would "you" know the "real" Carrie Underwood? Carrie Underwood, does not just have a great voice, she also does so much for the world, a whole lot more that you do i bet. So fuck off, ur the "biotch" you bitch. Grow up.

[compaqzet77]

wow. She is great!

[THELADYKlLLER]

unbelievable!

[chaput82892]

She has a beautiful voice.

[daSONNE1]

she is the definition of AMAZING!

[beastworker]

anyone think this was Christina-ish. Sounded like 'Beautiful' ...kinda. But it was sang wonderfully.

[roseallyn]

yup!!

your right!

[beastworker]

anyone think this was Christina-ish. Sounded like 'Beautiful' ...kinda. But it was sang wonderfully.

[xXRoryRedXx]

Amazing voice!!! Amazing song!!! OMG, I love Carrie. She is amazing, her voice was flawless. I can't believe what a star she has become! You rock Carrie, keep singing!!!!!!

[cheli2432]

she is my idol!

i voted for her the whole time, i knew she would win from the start. she has an amaazzingg voice.

[Asmith501]

im with ankatz on this one. no doubt about it Carrie Underwood is my favorite idol. she desreved to win. she is extremly tallented. i have both her albums. sure call me obsessed. see if i care. why don't u actualy listen to her songs. you might actualy like them

[piinkeventer]

ahh im crying.. i love her so much.. her voice is so amazing

[ederevan]

She's definitely a great example of what an idol is. It´s so good to see Carrie after these couple of years. She's became a great artist. Carrie rockss!

[briannalovesmiley]

Carrie Underwood is a self absorbed bitch that doesn't deserve to be where she is.

She won't even take the time to sign autographs for her fans! she doesn't realize the only reason she is where she is in her career is because of her fans! She has the personality of a wet dish rag. Fake ass trailer park bitch!

[ankatz]

what are you talking about?! idiot, have you ever met her? been to her concert? i have , she has more vocal talent in pinky finger than miley will have on her best day ever. she signed plenty of autographs, gave hugs, always acknowledges her fans. stupid bitch, you do you think you are?

[ankatz]

and secondly,she would have made it anyway, she is prettier, more talented then any of her contemporaries.

[Ladybugs999]

This was such a well chosen song for this event, most appropriate choice for her, voice wise, and message wise. She is such a classy, conscientious lady. Timeless, classic, beautiful, talented, intelligent, and amazing. What a blessing to the world.

[adulationx]

Put beautifully.

[vbrodal]

carrie underwood is such a great singer. the BEST female country singer for sure. and she's beautiful!

[controlboy42]

I felt that one down to my core. Carrie Underwood is learning and growing. Soon she will have no competition.

[badsquishy0789]

carrie ALWAYS blows me away.

[neilhunk]

how cud she hit those power notes while sitting. such talent.

[tvbmovielover]

wow she looks my geography teacher :| hot as hell!

[fiddleDdee]

for anyone interested Carrie has a fan club carrie underwood fm

[bbabyloon]

she's really wonderful!

I love her so much!!!!

wonderful performance!

I LOVE U, CARRIE!!!!!!!!!!

[galleon5]

This song, originally written and performed by George Michael, is lyric-wise one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard.

Such incredible and meaningful lyrics!

[firefalcon21]

wow!!! once again she hits it over the fence!! She has it all!!! i love this child of God!!

[carriefann123]

carrie was awesome hope she wins an award or awards at the cmt awards tonight

[mitchelsfan1yupps]

she is sooo beautiful!!!

i totally envy her!! she is also an amazing singer

[neilhunk]

i felt her emotions in this song. simply amazing

[gillianclarisse]

she's really amazing...

[SsOoCcEeRrGIRL]

it looks like she is about to cry while shes singin

i dont blame her im about to also

[hedunlap]

Carrie said that it took her years to be able to sing this song without crying. Don't feel bad, anyone that understands the lyrics would cry.

[fiddleDdee]

Be sure and buy this performance for ITunes and if you have already -how about gifting it to someone? there is a box for that - proceeds go to the wonderful charities

[fiddleDdee]

Whoops I meant to say FROM ITunes...

[vajxyoo]

hey did u know simon's head is so big or is it just me everyone look at his had its so big for his shoulders

[phsycicgurl1994]

omg yea she is incredible! i love the message in this song 2! GO CARRIE!!!

[anakellyaclarkson]

i love Carrie :) x awesome song! made me cry!

[musicinvader]

wow'perfect!!!!

and being praised by the person hu judged when u r competing in the very competition.. is an overwhelming feeling...

well she deserves it!

go carrie!!!!

[Jenesaisquoi22]

Why is Simon's hands so small??? hahahahha

[boomersooner062]

haahahahahaha I noticed that too!

I think it's a recording of it playing on a tv... so the angle it was recorded at makes simon look out of proportion

[cass2482]

wow...brought tears to my eyes...she really is perfection!

[lililisasasa]

LOVE CARRIE TOO MUCH. such a PERFECT woman.

[greenbean4trucks]

simon's hands look sooooo tiny in the beginning!! HAHAHA

[shutuporillkillyou]

how come simon's head is too big in this video??? and his hands are too small

[xopinkloverxo]

so amazing. thats all i have to say. so amazing. I LOVE CARRIE

[1obsessedswimmer]

is it just me or r his hands really really small?

[crimminds500]

Love Carrie, love the song. great job!!

[swm4lyph]

I don't like the original version. And I am not the biggest Carrie Underwood fan, but I love the way she sang this song.

[sigrid312]

beautiful

[UndercoverCracker]

There is more feeling in Carrie's version and the way she hits her notes is absolutely beautiful.

[lam0210]

Sorry VHS33 you're wrong. She nailed this song. I love George Michael so it's not about just being a CU fan. I don't think anyone but her could have put it together the way she did. She is so humble and gracious always. The reason she sang it is because she didn't want to promote herself so instead sang a song of one of her favorite artists. You should applaud her.

[fiddleDdee]

Well, you are entitled to your opinion. This performance has gotten rave reviews from the media and people are buying the song from ITunes with the proceeds going to the Idol Gives Back charities. It's #3 right now on ITunes so it must have touched alot of people and that's what is important and isn't that what a song is supposed to do.

[vhs33]

To even think that Carrie sang this better than George is ridiculous. The original has such a gritty powerful feel to it. I tried to like Carrie's vocals but honestly I don't think the song fit her voice. I think she's awesome though for singing it.

[paulclark79]

I LOVED THIS! Carrie did a beautiful job!! I can't wait to see her in concert tonight. Kinda sad that this is all for charity and all people can focus on is her dress choice, etc. I thought she looked great, as always!! :D

[vhs33]

To say Carrie sang this better than George is just ridiculous. The original has such a gritty powerful feel to it. I wanted to like this performance. Honestly I don't think it fit her voice. But I think she's awesome for choosing it.

[fiddleDdee]

Just download these songs and videos from ITunes , the proceeds go to the charities, also do whatever you can to volunteer to help those less fortunate in your own towns and cities

[fiddleDdee]

also she said she sang George Michaels song tonight because she didn't want it to be self promotion for her own music

[fiddleDdee]

jararrow - be thankful such a talented and amazing singer of the younger generation like Carrie who loves George Michael picked his song to sing or we wouldn't be hearing it - also she is just beginning her career - we don't know what amazing songs she may write, produce and sing

[jaraarrow]

She might have sang the song well but she could never write,arrange and produce such a masterpiece.Only george michael could do that because he is a genius.

[sugarcoma82]

Well don't be supportive or anything. Seriously, this wasn't a competition. I can't stand how some people never have anything positive to say. She sang it perfectly and BETTER than Micheal.

[neilhunk]

whoa. she's really really fantastic. i have no words to describe how great she is. no doubt, the best artist to come out of american idol

[jgmcaw]

Of course Simon was right because Carrie is AMAZING! She has totally blown away the rest of the idols with her success.

[JayFmOnline]

I don't think you know much about singing. Carrie did an amazing job on this song and I love George Michael!

[dwcasey13]

She screwed up George Michael's song.

[blondeqtangel007]

HATER.

Dont be mad that she surpassed George Micheal and sang it better then he ever has. he is still good, but she killed this song. Spectacular.

[manditapotter]

Did anyone pay attention to the lyrics? They are so special, so beautiful. And she sang them perfectly.

[djna09]

As much as i hate to miss this show, I had an opportunity to watch Carrie in a concert at Baltimore, MD...

Last night (04/09/08) was an amazing night to see her perform live..

She is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

She is the opening act for Keith Urban's tour and she did gave an excellent breathtaking performance. Her vocals was perfect. Look gorgeous. Sexy. She is the BEST A.I. ever...

[fiddleDdee]

djna -Carrie is NOT the opener for Keith Urban, it is a co tour and was advertised as that - I want to see her headlining tour which runs until the end of June - Josh Turner is opening for her now and after him Jason Micheal Carroll will be-

I saw Carrie in Rochester NY Feb 2 - Amazing!!!

[djna09]

You are right about that fiddleDdee, it is a co tour. Anyway, she is great!

[jgmcaw]

Thank you! Considering she sang half the show...she was NOT the opener! Why can't people get that right?

[djna09]

That was a mistake jgmcaw. She was NOT the opener! She is really amazing!

[jgmcaw]

djna09, Are you saying it was your mistake in your first comment saying she was the opener? Or are you saying I made a mistake with what I said? Because I didn't say she was the opener. I was correcting your original comment. People keep saying she opened but it was a co-headline tour..I was correcting that comment.

[djna09]

it was my mistake:)

[jgmcaw]

She didn't open for Keith. It was a co-headline

[CMUfan45]

I LOVE CARRIE UNDERWOOD!!

she is amazing!!

that was a wonderful performance...that show always makes me sad :(

but i love carrie!!

[CMUfan45]

I LOVE CARRIE UNDERWOOD!!

[Melbelle26]
