im pretty sure i saw reba and martina mcbride on tht board too. if taylor thinks she better than them plus carrie plus miranda someone needs to get her hearing checked lol
taylor is famous cause she was handed awards, carrie is famous because she earns awards. if anyone honestly thinks taylor is a better singer/song writer you need to get ur hearing checked because what taylor sings is a disgrace to country music.
The fact that you think Taylor Swift was "handed" awards makes you a puny and pathetic person. She's achieved more in one hour of one of her concerts than you will in your entire life. Girl can sing and the proof is in the pudding; most radio channels run her songs daily. This hatefulness couldn't be because you are a Underwood follower, could it?
wow Taylor makes herself look really egotistical in this video... like she is saying she KNOWS she's the best..... first off she is the worst... Carrie (and the other girls for that matter) are a MILLION times better
@carriefannn Agreed- I'm enthusiastically waiting for Carrie's 4th cd...millions of fans know Carrie will be back on top in terms of awards next year. Its still so difficult to remember how ACM outrageously denied Carrie her chance to win her 3rd DESERVED ETOY last year.. how can the biggest female tour, 3 #1s, video records, film debut, tv guest spot, charity work, benefits, beauty and grace not even be nominated to defend her crown if she's the incumbent. That hack Toby was nominated..? ugh
They're both great singers, but if people keep on saying that Carrie Underwood is better, I would say that Taylor pwns Carrie. By going technical, she's 5 times more popular.
Its sad when fans argue like this. When you sit there and argue who is better you're only making the singer you're supporting look bad. Carrie and Taylor are both great artists. Can we leave it at that? If you think differently, find a better way to express it than using foul language on a website, because that doesn't make you tough.
half of your guys are really ridiculous calling people fake and shit, get to know the person first before judging them. john mayer even said that after getting to know her the way she comes off is the actual person she is. you people sure as hell wouldnt want people talking about you like that if you were where she is right now.
@ridrime64 DEFINE COUNTRY MUSIC ASSHOLE who decides what country is supposed to sound like. your a dumbass. she can sing ive seen many of her live performances and they are all great. and she clearly is THAT great since shes been nominated for 146 awards and has won 90 of them.
@carriefannn taylor swift is a legend shes done so much and helped so many people. she might not sound EXACTLY like every other country artist because she has her own style you moron. she is the most genuine person out there and every song she writes is about her life..like she said its her diary. and F.Y.I (that means for your information) she can sing. ive been to her concert the BEST concert i have EVER been too in my life. get over yourself.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Um Taylor is more powerful, not because she donated more money, obviously, but because of her album sales, world records she's broken, the success of her tours, and songwriting ability. She's also made more profits than Carrie. Forbes ranked her the 7th most powerful celebrity with earnings of $45 million. She's the youngest woman to be named Billboard Woman of the Year, to receive a Album of the Year Grammy, and to be crowned CMA Entertainer of the Year. need I say more?
@kathyli1310 1.) Carrie has donated A TON of money, more than Taylor. 2.) Carrie has set more world records and album sales than Taylor 3.) Carrie has made more profits, she's been in the business since 2005, dumbass. 4.) Carrie has won EOTY TWICE! IN A ROW! MAKING HISTORY! 5.) Carrie has won more Grammy's than Taylor 5.) Carrie has won more awards then Taylor 6.) Carrie is the youngest woman to be a Grand Ole Opry member. Need I say more?
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx There you go again, MONEY DONATED IS NOT POWER. You are the only retarded one for saying Carrie is more rich. You don't believe Forbes? Wow. Carrie has been in the industry longer, so she has more Grammys. Taylor's 3rd album was released after the deadline for 2011 Grammys voting, so we'll see in 2012. But Taylor is 7 years younger, so she's got more road ahead of her. And the fact that she can be compared to a 28-year-old, and people in their 30s, 40s, shows her maturity.
@kathyli1310 Are you mentally challenged or...? Cuz you said that too. And Forbes is a bunch of bullshit. And Carrie has been compared to people in their 50s and above! Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Reba, etc.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx I didn't say that. I said money MADE, not money DONATED. When you talk about success, that's usually how people measure it, kay? Besides, Taylor has 7 American Music Awards and 8 BMI Awards, compared to Carrie's 6 AMAs and 4 BMIs. Taylor won the ACM Crystal Milestone Award AND Entertainer of the Year AND Jim Reeves International Award AND Album of the Year. Her concerts sell out in minutes and Speak Now sold 1 mil+ in one week.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx@carriefannn that's funny, because the Nashville Songwriter Association has named Taylor songwriter/artist of the year 4 out of the past 5 years. BMI has awarded her all-genre song of the year once and country song of the year 3 times. She's also nominated for CMA song of the year this year, for songwriters, not singers. Carrie will never be able to reach Taylor's heights in songwriting. A strong voice is a great thing, but there are other, better ways of being an artist.
@carriefann Critics and music professionals would not allow her to label herself as something she's not, idiot. Have you ever heard Taylor's debut album? Her songs "Mean" and "Dear John" from Speak Now? "Tell Me Why" from Fearless? What gives YOU the right to define country music, anyway? You think it's "cruel" people keep supporting her? You just insulted about 2 million girls, and a few thousand guys, because that's how wide Taylor's fanbase is. Carrie hasn't been snubbed, WTF?
@imbeagleek66 Spitting out insults, vocabulary words, and telling me what level math you're on doesn't make you one bit smart. I hope you realize that.
@puffballs839 Spitting out STUPID insults, telling me how stupid you are and saying how Taylor Swift is a "good singer" makes you stupid, idiotic, and have a bad choice in music. You are a stupid little girl looking for attention and need to grow up. When and if you grow up, then we can have a decent grown up conversation, if you know what that is. So shut your frickin' mouth before I have to shut it for you. And yes that was an insult. Deal with it.
@puffballs839 thanks. And let me break it down for that stupid little brain of yours. YOU ARE STUPID. SO IS TAYLOR SWIFT. your an AZEL. Wait, you don't know what that means, cause your stupid, LOOK IT UP. you SAY your in high school, but i KNOW that your just a little 6th grader that is DYING for friends, and all your doing is making ENEMIES. :)
Maybe Carrie Underwood needed American Idol to get famous, but Taylor did it all on her own? She loves music, she's been attending concerts since she was 8. She's younger than Carrie so what you said about her kid fans buying 50 copies of her album is just stupid
Carrie fans, let me tell you this. When all you have going for you is a strong voice and a pretty face, and you hardly ever contribute to writing your own lyrics, you are more of a machine than an artist. Your record label people can easily control you because they hold the power, since you don't compose your own songs and you just sing what other people produce. The raw emotion that comes from writing is not there. If you don't even COWRITE, you might as well be Britney Spears.
everyone needs to stop wasting their energy debating on who is better. Carrie or Taylor , they are going to continue making millions and creating music regardless of what all your irrelevant opinions are.....
Taylor Swift is POP she has POP fans that's why she sells more than any country artist - if she was country she wouldn't sell as much - Pop audience doesn't care if the star can't sing- "singing?" screeching?, out of tuneness but but I know she has a lot of POP fans who love her which is great - she only gets country awards because noone in country can sell more so as long as she sings POP and releases her albums in country- she will get noms - she's the best in the world at her own PR -
@fiddleDdee Did read it correctly, that Taylor Swift's debut album sold only 40,000 units as against Carrie's 314,500 units (both on its first week)? And, is also correct that the same debut album by Taylor was "recycled," whereas, Carrie's to date is more than 7X platinum and five #1's??? Is it also correct that Carrie got the TRIPLE CROWN from the ACM, the most coveted award for male and female artist within only four years from debuting in the music industry??? And, all "FIRSTS" by Carrie???
@loyestor1951 Um hello? Taylor Swift's Speak Now album has gone diamond worldwide, she was the best selling digital artist of 2010, shes the youngest person to ever win Album of the Year at the Grammys, her Fearless album was the best selling album of 2008. Not to mention she was hired as a professional songwriter by Sont ATV/Publishing at 14 and released her first single at 16. She plays 6 instruments and sells out shows in Europe, Asia, and Canada as well as the USA

@puffballs839 Prove everything you wrote!!! What songs did she write at 14??? Did her first single even chart?? Where? Who cares if she is a one woman orchestra!! The thing is her vocals cannot be compared to a finalist in American Idol, much less to Carrie. It's easy to say that one writes her own song; but it takes a lot to be a great singer like Carrie. The proof of a great singer is in the singing (not writing). Carrie's first single #1 in the Hot 100. 1st album 314,500 sold; Taylor 40k.
@loyestor1951 I have to PROVE she wrote songs at 14? WTF? Liz Rose said so herself, that Taylor and her started cowriting songs when Taylor moved to Tennesee. A good voice like Carrie's is something you're born with naturally. You don't have to strive for it, work for it, or earn it. You can work with a singing coach but it doesn't change much. You want to tell me songwriting is easy? Then why doesn't Carrie write her own songs? Only like 3 are even cowritten with other people.
its a joke, and taylor is way more talented than carrie... maybe not quite vocally, but taylor still has a good, unique voice, along with guitar, piano, banjo, and ukele. on top of that, 25 million albums sold, 88 awards won, top selling digital artist of all time, 1 million copies of speak now in a week.... sorry carrie fans, its raining cold hard facts up in here
@westportproductions Carrie has won over 100 awards, over 14 #1 singles, each one of her albums going platinum, selling out her Play On Tour, and winning the respect of all country music artists. Taylor is just bubble gum pop. Sorry, "it's raning cold hard facts up here."
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx carrie didnt sell a million copies of an album in a week. or has entirely sold out tour,including gillete stadium, and 4 straight shows at staples center. carrie hasnt gotten to the top of the pop charts, as well as the country charts. carrie didn't write very single song herself on an album.carrie didn't album of the year at the grammys.taylor has sold 25 million albums worldwide.taylor has a 19 country world tour.sorry,it is raining cold hard facts
@westportproductions Carrie may not have sold a million albums in a week, but she sure has sold way over a million albums with each one of her albums. Can you even read? I said she her Play On Tour was SOLD OUT. Including the Hollywood Bowl. Carrie isn't even pop, why the hell would she be on those charts? DAMN YOU CAN'T READ. I said "over 14 #1 singles" ON THE COUNTRY CHARTS. Carrie has won 8 Grammys. ACM EOTY twice, making country music history. And she won ACM triple crown. Carrie tops Taylor
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Carrie is a better vocalist, Taylor is a better instrumentalist / songwriter / actress.Carrie is a good singer, but she's not creative. Taylor isn't the best singer, but she puts on great concerts and she made a smart decision by crossing over into pop so she could get a larger fan base. Carrie's albums have not gone diamond worldwide. She hasn't toured internationally either! So you're not 100% correct. More like 50%
@puffballs839 And, Carrie did AMAZING in Soul Surfer and How I Met Your Mother, if you even bothered to watch then where as I saw Valentine's Day so I have the right to say Taylor cannot act well. You have not been to a Carrie concert have you? She puts on AMAZING shows. And do you even keep on Carrie news? She recently went to Australia for promotion, and her album went gold there, too.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx She was AWFUL in Soul Surfer. She was smiling while AnnaSophia Robb was crying. Taylor can act a hell of a lot better! She's been on SNL countless times, guest starred on CSI, and was very convincing in Valentine's Day. She completely had the airhead blonde thing going, and she was entertaining? Australia? OK, so what? Has Carrie been to London, Osaka, Paris, Dublin, and Seoul? And Taylor's singles ALONE have gone multiplatinum, her first single "Tim McGraw" is multiplatinum
@puffballs839 Carrie did AMAZING in Soul Surfer, and she wasn't smiling wanna Anna was crying. And Taylor chose the most retarded inappropriate movie for her first movie, while Carrie chose a movie with meaning. And Carrie's singles HAVE gone multi-platinum. "Inside Your Heaven" was Carrie's first single, that went platinum in a week. And Taylor has yet to reach the amount of #1's Carrie has. Her latest single hasn't even reached to the Top 10 Country songs!!!
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Valentine's Day is retarded and inappropriate? What are you, eight years old? Its a rom com, for God's sake! Lighten up, will you? Soul Surfer is SO cliched it made me want to roll my eyes at every scene. Surfer girl wants to go pro, she gets injured, mean girl tries to sabotage her, she wants to quit, she travels to Thailand and is "inspired" to get back on her board, mean girl makes friends with her. Predictable much? Even if its based on a tru story, its dumb
@puffballs839 There's making out every 5 seconds, we already have enough movies about it. And it's not Bethany's fault she grew up in HAWAII with SURFER PARENTS and got her ARM BITTEN OFF BY A MOTHER FUCKING SHARK losing 60% of her blood barely surviving! That's VERY inspirational, fyi.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx I didn't say Bethany Hamilton was stupid. I said the movie was, because they added so many cliched teen movie elements. How is being bitten by a shark inspiring? Bethany's recovery is, not the fact that she WAS bitten by a shark. Valentine's Day has lots of kissing, so what? That makes it retarded? At least it's remotely entertaining and sweet. Soul Surfer isn't.
@puffballs839 Valentine's Day is stupid because every movie is about romance, there needs to be something new. And Soul Surfer was amazing, I don't give a damn what you think about it.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Does Carrie write her own songs? Can she play 6 instruments? Did she get hired by Sony ATV/Publishing at 14? Did she sing the National Anthem at a Philadelphia 76ers game at 11?Did she set several records, like youngest person to ever win the Album of the Year Grammy?
@puffballs839 Carrie DOES write her own songs, she plays OVER 6 instruments, Carrie was offered a record deal at a young age by Capitol Recods, she sang at the SUPERBOWL, she's set OVER several records, such as, youngest person to join the Grande Ole Opry and first female to win ACM EOTY 2 years in a row.
@puffballs839 I Ain't In Checotah Anymore, All American-Girl, So Small, Crazy Dreams, Last Name, Cowboy Casanova, Mama's Song, Undo It, Temporary Home, Unapologize, What Can I Say, Play On, and a bunch of others that she gave to other people, like on Lauren Alaina's album she wrote 18 Inches, and I heard a song that didn't make it on Play On that she co-wrote is going to Julianne Hough's album, she plays guitar, piano, drums, harmonica, trumpet, tuba, and there you have it, 6 instruments.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx But she has like 3 other people cowrite with her, correct? And she doesnt play anything but piano or guitar when she's onstage, correct? Those other instruments aren't even for country music, and she never performs them. Taylor can play 6 string guitar, 12 string guitar, ganjo, ukelele, piano, and electric guitar and a little bit of mandolin
@puffballs839 No, sometimes it's just her and one person. Sometimes 2, never 3. The ukelele, electric guitar, and madolin isn't even for country either.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Ukelele, electric guitar, and mandolin are definitely country. George Strait, Brad Paisley, Shania Twain and Kenny Chesney all use them
@puffballs839 You know what, Carrie's voice IS her instrument, she could stand on stage, and just do that, for a whole 3 hours and I would STILL be entertained because of how beautiful her voice is.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx That's good for you, and I can say the same for Taylor. She has a good voice also, maybe not as high a range as Carrie or as stong. I just think Carrie should write more of her own songs and take songwriting more seriously. And be more of an ARTIST. That's all. I actually like her, but some of her songs are ridiculous. like "Before He Cheats"
@puffballs839 Carrie DOES take song-writing seriously. Explain Temporary Home to me, please. How is that not serious? For one thing, Carrie didn't even write Before He Cheats, and another, she wasn't gonna put it on the album, but she did it anyway because she loved that song.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Taylor's Fearless album was the BESTSELLING ALBUM OF 2008, she's toured in places where English is not even the first or second language. That's how universal her music is. RCA Records, the biggest label in Nashville, offered her a record deal at age 13, but she turned them down because they wouldn't grant her the freedom to write her own songs. Scott Borchetta practically started a record label JUST FOR HER, because he watched her perform and then formed his company
@puffballs839 That's because KIDS like her music, KIDS will beg their parents to buy 50 copies of her album, where as I am not a kid and I have to PAY for the albums I buy, so I can't buy 50 copies of her album, but Carrie's albums have made history before. Carrie won AMERICAN Idol, now WORLDWIDE Idol, she's supposed to be popular in America, not other countries, but she still is popular worldwide. So her record company won't take her worldwide often. Taylor can't even pass the audition on Idol.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Well you know what? Taylor has fans ranging from 8 to 28, and Carrie has kid fans too. So your argument is invalid. How do you know Taylor couldn't pass the audition on American Idol? Has she tried? No, so don't say that
@puffballs839 Carrie DOES have kid fans, Carrie has fans from all ages too, from 5 years old for all I know to 80 years old! She hasn't tried, but people that sound like her HAVE tried and haven't even made it pass the audition.
@puffballs839 I know PLENTY of kids in my neighborhood with multiple Taylor Swift albums. And the whole "buying 50 albums" thing, WAS EXAGGERATION. Did you even pay attention in English class?
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Taylor is not bubblegum pop! Shes recognized by CMT, CMA and ACM. Her whole first album was country. She's country POP, she's a crossover artist. Ever heard of it?
@puffballs839 She's bubblegum pop. Trust me, Speak Now is COMPLETELY 110% Bubblegum pop. Country music is supposed to be about real life, the stories of people's lives, not boys that dumped you.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx being broken up with is about life, isnt it? last time i checked, it was. taylor is the most honest, truthful songwriter in all genres of music now. every single song is its own story. you are either jealous or an idiot to not realize every taylor song tells a story
@westportproductions I'm pretty sure being broken up with isn't all about life. Boys dumping you isn't life. Last I checked, there were way more important things in life. Why can't she write a song about contributing to society? To feeding the hungry? Carrie has. I'm a GT student (gifted and talented, since I know you can't comprehend that) so I'm not an idiot, and I'm most certainly not jealous of Taylor.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx actually, last time i checked, we all go through realtionships...therefore, they are about life. taylor has songs about anorexia, overcoming challenges, and bullies, as well as relationships, to top it off, she writes those songs herself, which carrie doesn't. not that she should, just saying. taylor has donated millions to various charities, so she clealry hasn't forgoteen about those situations. its not brain science to know a taylor swift song tells a story about life...
@westportproductions Carrie has songs about Jesus, God, going to college, giving back, etc. Carrie started her OWN charity, for each ticket from the Play On Tour, 36 cents were donated to the children in hunger, Carrie donated so much money to so many things. It's not ROCKET science (dumbass), not BRAIN science. I know plenty of things about the brain and I'm in middle school.
@puffballs839 Have you SEEN her sing How Great Thou Art? She always thanks God or Jesus Christ, or both, in her speeches when she wins awards, she's a Christian. GET WITH IT.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx ok, thats great..never said it wasn't. sorry for my typo. good for you, your sooo smart. they are both great artists. all im saying is, taylor is one of muwsics biggest stars. so is carrie, but not nearly on the rank taylor is. taylor opened a dress reharsal where tickets, merch, etc all went to tornando victims, then donated 250,000 of her own. she donated 1 mil to japan, 500,000 to nashville to rebuild playgrounds...the list goes on. tay is more powerful at the moment
@westportproductions Taylor wasn't even the 1st one to donate 1 mil to Japan. Sandra Bullock started that trend. Carrie HELPED rebuild the homes from the Nashville flood, Carrie has been to Africa multiple times to help the kids there, she started her own foundation to help her hometown, she's a sponsor for Pedigree, she donates $100,000 to her hometown schools EACH, she's visited St. Jude's hospital a HANDFUL of times, Carrie is more powerful.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Did I say you were the ONLY one to say that? No I didn't but you SAID it. Okay? And don't go calling me an idiot. What did I ever do to you?
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Tha's hypocritical. Stories about "real life"? Really? Has Carrie Underwood ever had a husband who died while on duty in the army? Has she ever destroyed an ex boyfriend's truck? Or driven through a storm with a baby in the backseat? NO so don't talk to me about real life. Speak Now features guitar and lots of violin and piano and occasional banjo, so it sounds kind of country. Not 100%, but nobody said it was.
@puffballs839 Who said she has to go through what she writes? What happens in her music happens to many people. She's writing these songs FOR OTHER PEOPLE. Just because you have country instruments, doesn't mean you're country. Taylor's lyrics aren't country. Plenty of people say Taylor is country, so yes, people have said she is country.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx If you sing about things you havent gone through or seen someone close to you go through, thats called being a poser. It's a sob story stint to make money
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Wow, middle school. And here you are giving me bull crap about the kids in your neighborhood. Pathetic. Country music is about telling stories, connecting with people. Taylor's songs all have a message. You can't connect with your fans if you don't write your own music more than half the time. There's just no sense of understanding from both sides. Chances are, you're just looking for fame.
@puffballs839 You're a little bitch you know, all you have to backup Taylor is that she writes her own songs, that's ALL you have to back her up. GET. SOMETHING. NEW. And yes, middle school. I'm in the gifted and talented program, that's where the smart people go, unlike you.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx You need country music redifined. You keep saying Taylor's not country? Her music inspires people and keeps her fans going when they're heartbroken. That's country music, whereas pop has heavy beats and usually deals with sex, partying, and drinking.
@puffballs839 Not all pop music is like that, Demi Lovato is pop, she doesn't have songs about sex, Kelly Clarkson is pop, she doesn't have heavy beats, not all pop music is like that.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx If someone close to her had gone through it, she wouldve put them in the music video. Or gave some sort of tribute to them. Otherwise that's indecent.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx That's ONE case. Taylor put her home videos with her mom in the video for The Best Day, her fans in the video for Sparks Fly, her best friend in the videos for Picture To Burn and Fifteen.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx How are love and relationships not part of life? Taylor is down to earth, she knows her fans care about these things. That's not all there is to her life, anyway. Long Live and Never Grow Up, two of the tracks on Speak Now, aren't about boyfriends. Carrie sings about love all the time too, dumbass. Really, face facts. Half the stuff you're spitting out isn't true or is hypocritical.
@puffballs839 I never said love wasn't apart of life. But there are OTHER things to write about other than love. Carrie has PLENTY of songs that aren't about love, she has a HANDFUL of songs that aren't about love.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx A Place In This World, Tied Together With A Smile, Change, The Best Day, The Outside, Never Grow Up, Long Live, I'm Only Me When I'm With You...that's just a few off of the top of my head. There's MORE than a handful
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Theyre about family, body image, determination, childhood, being excluded, friendship, discovering your passion, etc. And what's wrong with love? It's the universal music theme. Youre saying Taylor's songs aren't legit? What?
@puffballs839 That's because KIDS like her music, KIDS will beg their parents to buy 50 copies of her album, where as I am not a kid and I have to PAY for the albums I buy, so I can't buy 50 copies of her album, but Carrie's albums have made history before. Carrie won AMERICAN Idol, now WORLDWIDE Idol, she's supposed to be popular in America, not other countries, but she still is popular worldwide. So her record company won't take her worldwide often. Taylor can't even pass the audition on Idol.

@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Taylor was winning CMT Awards in her junior year of high school while still keeping up her grades. She is a phenomenal and capable person. Not saying I don't like Carrie's music. I do, actually. I just respect Taylor much more
@imbeagleek66 YOU CAN'T SOMEONE IS BETTER BECAZ OF THERE HEIGHT. AND I *NO* THAT TAYLOR WAS WEARING HEELS ANYWAY, CAZ SHE TRIPS A LIL BIT AT 0:10 !!!!
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Taylor is the fastest selling female artist in music history. She won 4 Grammys all before the age of 21. She toured with Kenny Chesney, opened for George Strait. She sang the National Anthem in fifth grade at the US Open. Songwriting is not the only proof she's a great artist. Whereas Carrie needed American Idol to start her career, Taylor worked hard to be where she is.
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx You're her friend? You're defending her and you both are defending Carrie? Typical. Math doesnt' mean anything. A boy at my school is in Calculus and he's 15. BIG DEAL
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Do I look like I care? In the real world, algebra is not going to help you. Most adults don't have math knowledge past 7th grade level. That's a fact. It's pathetic, but it's true. People care about how much money you make, not whether you can apply the quadratic formula. Im not saying I agree with it, but thats the way the world works.
@puffballs839 what's with your "can't think of a good insult" insults? Are you stupid? Wait! I know, caz im smart like that, you ARE dumb, that's why you can't have good insults without using mine.
@puffballs839 Carrie was offered a record deal from Capitol Records before American Idol, but she turned it down. Carrie has toured with Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, and Keith Urban. Carrie made country music history by winning AMC EOTY two years in a row, winning the ACM Triple Crown, youngest person to join the Grand Ole Opry, Carrie even finished college while she was on Idol!
@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx I know youre exaggerating. Anyway, that's just one case. I'm sure kids do that with Carries albums as well. She's older than Taylor, so shes going to have more adult fans. Bottom line is, Carrie isnt an actress, so why should she sing songs she doesn't have experience with? LIke being a widow, getting so drunk and not knowing her own last name, etc. That's a publicity stunt. LIke for Just A Dream, she wants to make money off of a sob story that didnt happen to her
@puffballs839 She wrote Last Name FOR FUN. She was thinking of ideas, so she thought, "why not?", and maybe she's lost a family member in her life, and putting it in that person's wife's position, you don't have proof that she didn't, cuz she doesn't like talking about personal life.
@sunnyandkaitlyn, I can be happy for people who have talent, but I'm sick of wantabes who get in the way of all those who deserve our attention. There are great new artists that deserve our attention, yet they are overshadowed by the media machine that fixates on Taylor Swift, the Kardasians, etc. Sheep...
@vwilkins01 I understand that. There are lots of great artists who aren't well known because of stupid music that isn't meaningful. However, I believe Taylor Swift isn't just someone who the media is obsessed with. She worked hard to be where she is, so there's no reason to put her down.
She knows VOCALLY she didn't compare. Thats why she made a JOKE. I love Carrie, but I dont think she will ever have the connection with her fans that Taylor does. Anyone who sees Taylor's shows knows this. Also, TV appearances dont give Taylor voice justice. She is really good live in concert. And the great reviews from EVERY show could tell you that.
i dont like taylor swift not cuz of this. cuz of her partnering with animal abuse. i thot taylor was amazing until she started thats, good-bye taylor i will never support you
i love taylor!

The fact that you think Taylor Swift was "handed" awards makes you a puny and pathetic person. She's achieved more in one hour of one of her concerts than you will in your entire life. Girl can sing and the proof is in the pudding; most radio channels run her songs daily. This hatefulness couldn't be because you are a Underwood follower, could it?

Its sad when fans argue like this. When you sit there and argue who is better you're only making the singer you're supporting look bad. Carrie and Taylor are both great artists. Can we leave it at that? If you think differently, find a better way to express it than using foul language on a website, because that doesn't make you tough.

@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Um Taylor is more powerful, not because she donated more money, obviously, but because of her album sales, world records she's broken, the success of her tours, and songwriting ability. She's also made more profits than Carrie. Forbes ranked her the 7th most powerful celebrity with earnings of $45 million. She's the youngest woman to be named Billboard Woman of the Year, to receive a Album of the Year Grammy, and to be crowned CMA Entertainer of the Year. need I say more?

@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx There you go again, MONEY DONATED IS NOT POWER. You are the only retarded one for saying Carrie is more rich. You don't believe Forbes? Wow. Carrie has been in the industry longer, so she has more Grammys. Taylor's 3rd album was released after the deadline for 2011 Grammys voting, so we'll see in 2012. But Taylor is 7 years younger, so she's got more road ahead of her. And the fact that she can be compared to a 28-year-old, and people in their 30s, 40s, shows her maturity.

@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx @carriefannn that's funny, because the Nashville Songwriter Association has named Taylor songwriter/artist of the year 4 out of the past 5 years. BMI has awarded her all-genre song of the year once and country song of the year 3 times. She's also nominated for CMA song of the year this year, for songwriters, not singers. Carrie will never be able to reach Taylor's heights in songwriting. A strong voice is a great thing, but there are other, better ways of being an artist.

@carriefann Critics and music professionals would not allow her to label herself as something she's not, idiot. Have you ever heard Taylor's debut album? Her songs "Mean" and "Dear John" from Speak Now? "Tell Me Why" from Fearless? What gives YOU the right to define country music, anyway? You think it's "cruel" people keep supporting her? You just insulted about 2 million girls, and a few thousand guys, because that's how wide Taylor's fanbase is. Carrie hasn't been snubbed, WTF?

Maybe Carrie Underwood needed American Idol to get famous, but Taylor did it all on her own? She loves music, she's been attending concerts since she was 8. She's younger than Carrie so what you said about her kid fans buying 50 copies of her album is just stupid
puffballs839 5 months ago
Carrie fans, let me tell you this. When all you have going for you is a strong voice and a pretty face, and you hardly ever contribute to writing your own lyrics, you are more of a machine than an artist. Your record label people can easily control you because they hold the power, since you don't compose your own songs and you just sing what other people produce. The raw emotion that comes from writing is not there. If you don't even COWRITE, you might as well be Britney Spears.

Is it also correct that Carrie got the TRIPLE CROWN from the ACM, the most coveted award for male and female artist within only four years from debuting in the music industry???

@puffballs839 Prove everything you wrote!!! What songs did she write at 14??? Did her first single even chart?? Where? Who cares if she is a one woman orchestra!! The thing is her vocals cannot be compared to a finalist in American Idol, much less to Carrie. It's easy to say that one writes her own song; but it takes a lot to be a great singer like Carrie. The proof of a great singer is in the singing (not writing). Carrie's first single #1 in the Hot 100. 1st album 314,500 sold; Taylor 40k.

@loyestor1951 I have to PROVE she wrote songs at 14? WTF? Liz Rose said so herself, that Taylor and her started cowriting songs when Taylor moved to Tennesee. A good voice like Carrie's is something you're born with naturally. You don't have to strive for it, work for it, or earn it. You can work with a singing coach but it doesn't change much. You want to tell me songwriting is easy? Then why doesn't Carrie write her own songs? Only like 3 are even cowritten with other people.

RCA Records, the biggest label in Nashville, offered her a record deal at age 13, but she turned them down because they wouldn't grant her the freedom to write her own songs. Scott Borchetta practically started a record label JUST FOR HER, because he watched her perform and then formed his company

Carrie HELPED rebuild the homes from the Nashville flood, Carrie has been to Africa multiple times to help the kids there, she started her own foundation to help her hometown, she's a sponsor for Pedigree, she donates $100,000 to her hometown schools EACH, she's visited St. Jude's hospital a HANDFUL of times, Carrie is more powerful.

@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Tha's hypocritical. Stories about "real life"? Really? Has Carrie Underwood ever had a husband who died while on duty in the army? Has she ever destroyed an ex boyfriend's truck? Or driven through a storm with a baby in the backseat? NO so don't talk to me about real life. Speak Now features guitar and lots of violin and piano and occasional banjo, so it sounds kind of country. Not 100%, but nobody said it was.

@puffballs839 Who said she has to go through what she writes? What happens in her music happens to many people. She's writing these songs FOR OTHER PEOPLE. Just because you have country instruments, doesn't mean you're country. Taylor's lyrics aren't country. Plenty of people say Taylor is country, so yes, people have said she is country.

@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Wow, middle school. And here you are giving me bull crap about the kids in your neighborhood. Pathetic. Country music is about telling stories, connecting with people. Taylor's songs all have a message. You can't connect with your fans if you don't write your own music more than half the time. There's just no sense of understanding from both sides. Chances are, you're just looking for fame.

@puffballs839 You're a little bitch you know, all you have to backup Taylor is that she writes her own songs, that's ALL you have to back her up. GET. SOMETHING. NEW. And yes, middle school. I'm in the gifted and talented program, that's where the smart people go, unlike you.

@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx You need country music redifined. You keep saying Taylor's not country? Her music inspires people and keeps her fans going when they're heartbroken. That's country music, whereas pop has heavy beats and usually deals with sex, partying, and drinking.

@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx How are love and relationships not part of life? Taylor is down to earth, she knows her fans care about these things. That's not all there is to her life, anyway. Long Live and Never Grow Up, two of the tracks on Speak Now, aren't about boyfriends. Carrie sings about love all the time too, dumbass. Really, face facts. Half the stuff you're spitting out isn't true or is hypocritical.
puffballs839 5 months ago
@puffballs839 I never said love wasn't apart of life. But there are OTHER things to write about other than love. Carrie has PLENTY of songs that aren't about love, she has a HANDFUL of songs that aren't about love.

@puffballs839 That's because KIDS like her music, KIDS will beg their parents to buy 50 copies of her album, where as I am not a kid and I have to PAY for the albums I buy, so I can't buy 50 copies of her album, but Carrie's albums have made history before. Carrie won AMERICAN Idol, now WORLDWIDE Idol, she's supposed to be popular in America, not other countries, but she still is popular worldwide. So her record company won't take her worldwide often. Taylor can't even pass the audition on Idol.

@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx Taylor is the fastest selling female artist in music history. She won 4 Grammys all before the age of 21. She toured with Kenny Chesney, opened for George Strait. She sang the National Anthem in fifth grade at the US Open. Songwriting is not the only proof she's a great artist. Whereas Carrie needed American Idol to start her career, Taylor worked hard to be where she is.

@puffballs839 Carrie was offered a record deal from Capitol Records before American Idol, but she turned it down. Carrie has toured with Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, and Keith Urban. Carrie made country music history by winning AMC EOTY two years in a row, winning the ACM Triple Crown, youngest person to join the Grand Ole Opry, Carrie even finished college while she was on Idol!

@xxxTeamUnderwoodxxx I know youre exaggerating. Anyway, that's just one case. I'm sure kids do that with Carries albums as well. She's older than Taylor, so shes going to have more adult fans. Bottom line is, Carrie isnt an actress, so why should she sing songs she doesn't have experience with? LIke being a widow, getting so drunk and not knowing her own last name, etc. That's a publicity stunt. LIke for Just A Dream, she wants to make money off of a sob story that didnt happen to her

@puffballs839 She wrote Last Name FOR FUN. She was thinking of ideas, so she thought, "why not?", and maybe she's lost a family member in her life, and putting it in that person's wife's position, you don't have proof that she didn't, cuz she doesn't like talking about personal life.

@vwilkins01 I understand that. There are lots of great artists who aren't well known because of stupid music that isn't meaningful. However, I believe Taylor Swift isn't just someone who the media is obsessed with. She worked hard to be where she is, so there's no reason to put her down.

She knows VOCALLY she didn't compare. Thats why she made a JOKE. I love Carrie, but I dont think she will ever have the connection with her fans that Taylor does. Anyone who sees Taylor's shows knows this. Also, TV appearances dont give Taylor voice justice. She is really good live in concert. And the great reviews from EVERY show could tell you that.
