it is incredibly hard to sing Heart - let alone sing it well. I really liked Carly on that season of Idol. she was def one of the best. and great performance. and did Crazy on You even better. Her and Carrie both sang this song well. but THE BEST Idol performance of the song Alone goes to Allison Iraheta.
she doesn't sound strong in the chorus at all! and i had to shut off allison ireheatas version or whatever. she made my ears bleed! I was just like SHUT UP! carries amazing and this rendition sucked.
Probabily yes, Carrie has a higher tone than Carly. In my opinion vocal range is just a part of a singer. Just to make an example: has anybody ever seen Eli Mattson covering "Walking in memphis?". The guy has not a great vocal range but when he sang that song the audience remained hypnotized.
For the same reason, on this song, I prefer Carly. Carrie did a great job too but it's a rock song and Carly's voice is more suitable.
Watch Carrie's acoustic performance of "Alone" (NOT the one on Idol)...on Idol, she didn't do the super-high belt going into the second chorus due to obvious time constraints, but on TOUR she always does it. Carly has never done it, and if she did, it would be thin, heady, and forced...just like all of her upper-register belts do. Carrie's range is bigger AND more comfortable than Carly's. Also, Carly's the one with classical training lmao.
it's not from straining... it's from using her head voice... and there's nothing wrong with that...at times it is better to use your head voice rather then your chest voice... trust me... and also... another one of my points was the fact that Carly has a more melodic tone then Carrie does making her more versitile and having a better sound to her voice... that is why i perfer Carly over Carrie....
Carrie has a bigger chest voice range, so she can hit the C5 - F5's without having to change into mixed/head voice to do so which makes carrie much better timbre when singing the higher notes compared to Carly
Wow, how can anyone even compare this to Carrie's version, or compare Carly to Carrie? Carrie's range is much bigger than hers...and her version of this song blows Carly's out of the water. Some of you need to screw your ears back on.
@kbaker2011 Carrie's range is MUCH wider than Carly's. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. Carly strains and shrieks on notes that Carrie hits effortlessly. Just because Carrie doesn't always shriek out the highest possible note that she can hit, doesn't mean that she can't match Carly when she does it. The fact is, the notes that they have in common, Carrie sings MUCH more effortlessly. Carly strains her ass off.
@mellynumerounoo I don't agree with you at all... have you checked out her evanescence performance... from the tour??????? Carrie couldn't hit those notes... sorry... Carly can hit much higher notes then Carrie... sorry but she can and that's a fact!!! Carly also has a more leodic tone... and a better vibrato sounding voice...
@kbaker2011 You just keep demonstrating your ignorance to be at an even higher level than I originally guessed lmao. The highest note Carly reaches in Jesus Christ Superstar is an E5, which is CHILD's play for Carrie. The highest she sang in "Bring Me To Life" on tour was also E5, with a slight peak at F5. ALSO child's play for Carrie. It merely SOUNDS higher to you because of the fact that Carly is making it SEEM higher by a) straining b) using more head resonation than chest.
i really don't like carly's voice, to be honest. it's just not my type. i think carrie was better, although allison iraheta was absolutely fantastic and better than both.
Wow a lot of people need to get a life that are on this comment list. Both versions were really good. It's sad to think that you have nothing better to do than bicker. They are different artists with very different styles. For this song (in my opinion) Carly was better as this song is rock not country, however Carrie would have a hand up in a country song. Rather than bicker, if you don't like the song, try this. Don't listen to it.
Carrie's style is just more toned down because she sings country. But trust, her range stretches WAY beyond the version of "Alone" she did on the show.
Uh, wrong. She has more range and more power. Listen to the version Carrie did on tour, where she hit the HIGHEST note that Ann Wilson hit in the original version. Carly has never hit it.
you're a fool who's spending waaaaay to much of your time defending Carrie Underwood who doesn't know you. Then again when you're a pathetic loser with too much time on your hands I guess you do things like that.
No sweety, I'm defending ANYONE who has the capacity to think with their brain instead of their ass. Don't attack me just because you don't fall into that category. I actually HAVE a musical background and can corroborate each and every one of my claims through quantifiable evidence. You CANNOT. So fuck off. Pathetic loser?? Yeah, ok pot. I'M black???
Lol, You're retarded. It's obvious you're trying way too hard ....your "claims"?? I think you mean opinion, and those cannot be proven. You just sound stupid... and looking at youtube videos doesn't mean you have a musical background, lol.
No, sweety...I meant CLAIMS, exactly as I stated it. Again, unlike you, I can furnish PROOF of my claims, or at the very least construct an opinion on the basis of sound and established facts. Clearly you cannot. and you don't know anything about my background, so stop embarrassing yourself LOL!
You're a moron and you're talking out of your ass now. Examine your words sweety.... ANYONE can judge someone's music, and when doing that they're constructing an opinion on the basis of their the sound. Just as I said, it's an opinion.
And if you were so successful in the music industry, than you wouldn't be bickering back in fourth on youtube. Keep dreaming and get a life.
LMFAO, and you say I'm the retarded one?? Bitch, where the FUCK did I say that I'm "successful in the music industry"?? I said that I have a FOUNDATION/background in music theory and vocal pedagogy that equips me to make sound judgments and INFORMED opinions. That's something that YOU can't do, and you STILL don't know the difference between an informed opinion and an uninformed opinion.
and look who keeps replying to my comments? YOU! take your own advice and get a fucking life, asshole.
Ann Wison sings it better than both! Hands down. NOBODY sings like Ann. Celine Dion's version blows as well. They dont have the feel or heart that Ann puts into it. Nuff said!! Ann is the best rock female singer of all time. Heart is the female Led Zeppelin.
God she's hot!! Love her voice. I'm looking forward to hearing her with the group Fallen. Although it saddens me evanescence has split up and Amy is no longer with the band.; (
She hasn't been with those guys for a while. She parted ways with them after the first album. The second album i think She was the only original member remaining. Evanescense is still a band they actually are comming out with a new Cd next year. But i like her in the We are the fallen group she really fits the music.
For the record, I'm not even a Carly fan. But her voice is definitely stronger than Carrie's. That's not to say that Carrie isn't a good vocalist though.
@o0ber Nope. Carrie can in fact sing higher AND lower than Carly. Carly's highest is a G5, which she strains terribly to hit (in "Crazy For You")...Carrie has done numerous F#s and an F#/G in "Alone" live, with little-to-no effort. Also, Carly mixes a LOT on her upper notes. Carrie is able to"carry" more chest resonance in that range, because her range is naturally higher. Also, Carrie has head voice exclamations that go up to as high as Bb6, which is only a note and a half away from C7.
@o0ber Though Carly has a big range, Carrie's is also quite extensive... I have no clue who can hit more notes. But with Carrie having an upper range, the range of the sounds aren't as distinguished as those in a middle register.
Believe me,I am a HUGE Carly fan,but in my opinion,Carrie,Heart,and Allison Irahtea did it so much better.Carly could have at least tried to hit the note...
carly is an incredible singer.. She's extremely skilled at belting.. However, I find her lower register somewhat lacking in depth as can be shown by her performance of this song and "Without you"... but I guess she just needs time to work on those..
WOW!!! Best cover of Alone that I've ever heard. Carly's voice is absolutely incredible and I think she will be very successful when her album comes out. Can't wait for it.
part of the point of these comments on idol videos is to debate opinions greenduck1027. so either get some courage and join in or stop reading them, but we dont need you to post comments crying about how nobody's getting along. its anonymous posting about a game show, chill out.
she should've been first, and PLEASE tell me by saying she should've been third that you think david archuleta should've placed higher than her cuz that is horse crap
Some people find her screamy. Some love her glory notes. Some like David Archuleta's smooth balladeer style, some like David Cook's rocker style. I happen to thouroughly enjoy Kristy Lee Cook's singing (an opinion not normally shared), along with David C's and David A's. Just because someone has a different opinion doesn't necessarily make them unintelligent.

Carly is no doubt the best singer to ever set foot on the American Idol Stage..She beats kelly clarkson by a mile imo.
I really hope she gets a record deal.

I think her lower register, middle register, and upper register are all amazing. Carly can sing anything-I love her voice!!!

carly is an incredible singer.. She's extremely skilled at belting.. However, I find her lower register somewhat lacking in depth as can be shown by her performance of this song and "Without you"... but I guess she just needs time to work on those..

WOW!!! Best cover of Alone that I've ever heard. Carly's voice is absolutely incredible and I think she will be very successful when her album comes out. Can't wait for it.

Carly was young when her debut came, she matured and her style in music has changed. She IS rock now a days and I love it!

i don't believe that she's a rocker.
i have watched her recent songs (her first album)
...i don't know what happened why she did rock songs all of a sudden..but i like it anyway..
all the way Carly is the best.

part of the point of these comments on idol videos is to debate opinions greenduck1027. so either get some courage and join in or stop reading them, but we dont need you to post comments crying about how nobody's getting along. its anonymous posting about a game show, chill out.

GPXgirl 3 years ago 5
she should've been first, and PLEASE tell me by saying she should've been third that you think david archuleta should've placed higher than her cuz that is horse crap

So what's wrong with an opinion?
AIReject 3 years ago
nothing, just that they are reflections of ones intelligence. and there is something wrong with stupid.
speaking of which you may want to fix that
BlingyDamon3 3 years ago
Some people find her screamy. Some love her glory notes. Some like David Archuleta's smooth balladeer style, some like David Cook's rocker style. I happen to thouroughly enjoy Kristy Lee Cook's singing (an opinion not normally shared), along with David C's and David A's. Just because someone has a different opinion doesn't necessarily make them unintelligent.
AIReject 3 years ago
true, your not unintelligent period. you just dont know a lot about music.
because carly was better than all three of those guys. and cook is the only one of your three who was any good.
