Alone - Who Sang It Best? Carly, Carrie, or Allison?

[FiddleDeeDee2]

I think Carrie is by far the best vocalist, but for this particular song I would say Allison was the winner because Alone is the type song that suits her vocal tone and style.

[JohnMBFgeminiz]

ALLI, sure :)

[otheridols]

Carly. Less forced, more natural power, cleaner tone. Too bad about the tattoos. Like defacing a work of art.

[5mbutz13]

I personally think carrie sang it the best. They all did great but carried did it the best

[MultiKayla33]

Carrie!!



[eyore151]

for me its like this

1. carly i thought she sounded great znd she showed incredible range

2. allison i thought carly sounded better vocally but hers was very emotional and infectious

3. carrie is the best vocal performance but felt very generic and boring 2 me

[poetatriste87]

I loved the maturity in Carly's version

I love Carrie Underwood's version, the verse choice was interesting ...

for me hands down ...

ALLISON!

dont get me wrong they all had power

but to me Allison had the most power, had the most recent up and coming performance of this song...

[kyo1223]

For me~ Carrie Carried Away~!

[kyo1223]

How about Ramiele?

[Barbibaba14]

Allison :D

[miguelcruz619]

who sang it best? of course Ann Wilson.

[2fresh4u1000]

Carly sang it the best! hands down!

[crzystll2day]

should be an &...not a 7

[crzystll2day]

@Blorin40 ...you must be the idiot as i never mentioned anything about seasons,i said allison sung it better..period...she sounded better 7 put more emotion in..this is not about who's had a better career,it is about who sung this better...as for carrie outselling kelly...she has sold more albums,but when you add in singles,kelly is 1st on the list & kelly just had a huge #1 hit to add to her lead(w/ jason aldean)...and daughtry has only released 2 cd's,but has the #1 selling album in AI history

[EvaaJB]

i think allison's performance was the most impressive (: she's awesome :D

[dsmithmusic]

people always forget Gina Glocksten... she too is quite good. The best, you'll have to watch to find out. That said, the accompaniment vocals are very sharp.

[bojnebojnebojne]

based on this performances i'd say Allison did the best version vocaly.. that said i still think carrie is far better singer overall than the others, and she sang with Ann & Nancy Wilson in 2007....Carrie has a much clearer tone in her voice and sure it can be very cool and emotional to hear Allison's voice, espoecially when it cracks a bit in the chorus.

They are all great singers... BUT the real talent lies in the making of a great song!

[beckasha83]

Allison sounded like she was hitting puberty.. Carrie was begging for attention with it,.. carly.'s voice is too deep for it. I wish people would stop singing songs that are too big for them, as this song was too big for all three of them. All three sucked.

[dsmithmusic]

@beckasha83 wow dude (or dudette)... that's a big comment. Each did their own rendition, but none have chosen a song out of their league. If you compare it to Heart, of course the original wins, but Heart is pure magic. All three did a great job, beyond that, it's preference for who was best.

[9797alexandra]

allison!!! 

[trustingfate]

Allison Iraheta.

(:

[shreakofmadness]

Allison's version was amazing, carries was beautiful, and carlys was surprising but overall I just LOVE Allison's version

[bubu4byta]

allison iraheta

[eclairebear06]

All were good, but Allison was just incredible

[sofiathesuperstar]

Alison

[siculari]

Gina Glocksen

[Chadsshorty]

Hard to say. obviously, they're all insane vocalists, but have different styles. I love Allison's music personally, so I want to say her, but honestly I think Carly's was beautiful. And I've never heard of her, soo... :)

[ellajaymass]

ALLISON ALL THE WAY!!!!! she had the most control, and her voice suited the song the most

[gillyfull]

CARLY SMITHSON! all the way, she went so high on her notes

[sdhvgreen]

All of these girls are amazing, difficult to compare as they are different genres, yet Heart holds a special place in everyone's heart who was around when this song came out:)

[MultiJoeMoma]

Carrie was the best, just amazing

[MultiJoeMoma]

Carrie was the best, just amazing

[zthechainz]

Gina Glockesen sang Alone also remember

[tuck101993]

if i had to give the girls place Allison is 1st, Carly 2nd,and Carrie 3rd..

[monterrb]

Carrie for sure!! Allison does sound good too but kind of forced.

[hisdarkdesire]

All 3 are GREAT!

[tombraider0104]

They are all amazing 3 different versions and voices i love them all

[tombraider0104]

They are all amazing 3 different versions and voices i love them all

[rodmena]

As Goofnuss said, Ann and Nancy Wilson, no one ever shall bring it out there like them... No doubt Ann has the best female voice in rock music ever, ever, ever!!!!

And don´t take me wrong, this idol girls sang it pretty good, but we are comparing a Old Camper Truck Vs a Ferrari. 

[TheCpdogs]

Carrie for sure!

[VictoryAh95]

I think Allison's voice suits this song the best, though Carrie has excellent intonation and power, and Carly's voice has a great tone to it.

[chrisanthemum7]

whoa, I knew Carrie could bring it, but I was still surprised when she got to that part. Allison is bad, no question. Big up to the backup singer on ALL versions I think she gets my vote, lol

[taudorinon]

Allison Iraheta  sounds great at this song.

[ItsjustKatie777]

ALL OF THEM (:

[emmjay2662]

Carly and Allison beat out Carrie by a mile. Between the two of them, though, I think we are looking at two great performances that are hard to compare.

CARLY + ALLSION = FTW

[jaqueee]

ALLISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ALEJANDROCALVO1]

she does look like amy lee!!! beautiful!!!

[tyler11958]

We aren't arguing over who has been more successful...we are arguing over who sang it best which is definitely ALLISON IRAHETA...she should have won season 8 and i'm sure she could be a huge seller if she was given the proper promotion

[Wallicsirp]

Carly Smithson was always my choice. This is the first time I've heard Allison, she did a pretty good job.

[littlecat0908]

Allison was 16 when she sang that. She is simply amazing.

[NY22Giants22]

#1 Allison

#2 Carly

#3 Carrie

[Lily2U1515]

Jacob baby!



[neboy2000]

I FRKN LOVE ALLISON'S VOICE!! Carrie was a good vocal but just boring.

[theoctopusband]

between Allison and Carrie

[taylorswiftangel]

This is so hard to pick one! I love all these girls! They r so good! But if I have to pick I say carly all the way! She's my irish american idol forever! Her accent is so cool:)

[jojoxx1231]

ALLISON!! imo, carrie's performance of alone was overrated. Allison's voice is just simply amazing:)

[keena1015]

definitely allison

[crzystll2day]

carrie aint country either...pop is what she is...have u ever seen her in t-shirt and jeans like gretchen or reba?...no,cause she aint country...period!!!!!

[crzystll2day]

as for carrie's accolades...the q is who sung this better,not who has a better career...and allison hasn't had a big career cause the producers didn't give her the over hyped carrie has gotten...only reason carrie has done so great is they plastered her everywhere to hype her up...and carly sings just as good as she does...besides...carrie wasn't even the favorite the year she won,if u remember...daughtry is way better and kelly is still the most successful idol,not carrie!!!!!!!

[Blorin40]

@crzystll2day Lol, Idiot, Daughtry was season 5, Carrie was season 4. Record sales dont lie. Carrie is ahead of Clarkson by a "country mile"

[crzystll2day]

allison...carrie didn't come close...next is carly!!!!!!!!...and allison can sing great,no matter her age..come on..miley,not even close!!!

[geothetwo]

Allison!! That voice just makes me melt

[Danny031293]

Carrie!!!!!! 

[amalia1726]

allison!!!! she's got a very distinctive voice. yes, we'll hear her raw talent. but she's like, soooooooooooooooo great! even if we have to compare with leAnn..

[chambet1]

I love Allison's voice better and she puts her heart in every song she is so unique

[AshleyPurrfect55]

I like ramiele the best

[CarrieFan1993]

Btw, please don't continue talking about how she was just 16!!? LeAnn Rimes was just 14 and sang a h*ll of a lot better than Allison, come on!! Jordin, Britney, Billy Gilman, Miley, and so on sing/sang great when they were in their (pre)-teens, or listen to Connie Talbot or Bianca Ryan!? Both sing so much better!!

[CarrieFan1993]

Oh, and by the way, this was the song that made America notice Carrie, and now she's sold like 12 mio records in america alone, had every single of her singles reach the top 2 on the charts, and 15 top 40 singles on the Hot 100, with 9 charting in the top 20, 4 charted in the top 10, 1 was a number 1!! Whereas Allison has sold like 100,000 copies of her album, and hasn't even had a charting single, not counting her duet with Adam Lambert... This song paved the way for Carrie, not for Alison...

[anpri110307]

Allison!

[jkkids2]

CARRIE UNDERWOOD WAS SURLEY THE BEST! Plus she got probobly the best comment from simon of all time!!!!!!!!!! Plus The red heads voice and Carlys are both so raspy and kinda annoying!

[maithora]

Allison was the best by far!! :D

[bennuhboo]

Allison :)

deff allison

she was only i6 and was singing tht good

[kirby56jk]

Allison definatlly, She made the song.

[angeliesings]

Wilson sisters or me?Carries voice is lovely too

[cmbugden]

Allison by far!!!

[cy102871]

Ann Wilson sang it the best.

[jaderrw]

You can feel the need the desperation of having the guy. You don't feel the same with the others. They just sang it well. High notes, yeah but no feeling. I think Allison's version is they best and I even prefer her version over Heart's. I wished she had covered this song. I would have been a super hit.

[4411275]

Carrie is 100% the best. If you watch the video she sings it effortlessly. The others don't hold a candle to her.

[TheLeofeo]

remember this son from allison is n omerical idol nd carry is estudio

[CarrieFan1993]

@TheLeofeo Sorry, but Carrie never recorded any other song from AmIdol except Independence Day, and then a few of the songs back when she was 14, never Alone though...

I LOOOOOOOVe Carrie, and this one song was THE best song she did on Idol, and she did it so effortlessly... She showed versatility, emotion and that she had amazing stage presence, and was able to have fun, where the others aren't even in her league... She most definiteky sang the song the best <'3333

[TheLeofeo]

@CarrieFan1993 ok but i love allison version

[TheLeofeo]

allison

[njxray577]

Carrie did it first and paved the way... She comes in last in this comparison.. Its a tough tie between carly and alison.. Carly has the chops and experience but Alison is only 16 at that point... They all give me the goosebumps.

[MrTAMAKIE]

CARRIE and allison

[LizzieMay2009]

I really like Carrie's but Allison tore it up. She did an awesome job on this song.

[philipinohg]

I love Carrie but i have to give it up to Allison. She gave it edge. She made it her own

[KimCasey1]

allison def... its like her voice gives edge to the song...

[gettoglasses]

Allison all the way! I would have to give Carrie second place because she's well.. CARRIE UNDERWOOD! In all honesty I never heard of Carly before now so maybe I'm being a little biased. However, listening to her sing this particular song I felt like her performance was less soulful than the other two. She sang it well, just not from her heart. That's just my opinion anyway.

[GinaGlocksenFan]

Definitely Carrie.

[BrigadeOfOctopi]

Allison, for sure. For SURE.

[rytanya26]

Carrie ALL THE WAY!!! She made it her own! THAT'S why she's noticed! If you want to sound like the original, might as well don't join AI. AI is about knowing who you are, what kind of artist you wanna be, and making someone else's music your own. Carrie DID JUST THAT. Though, I do love Allison's version as well. :)

[daddybuck93]

Allison beat the shit out of both of them on "Alone". Sorry Carrie & Carly fans. Allison wins that battle!

[burnsy2323]

People. If you want the real feel for a song. LISTEN TO THE FREAKING ORIGINAL.

[littledramaqueen1]

allison,carrie, then carly carly is the horriblest girl iv'e ever heard

[mmscutie95]

Definately Carrie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[ayluvhue114]

Carrie is the best! Live with it! All others are irritating...!

[Goofnuss]

Ann and Nancy Wilson, that's who.

[Goofnuss]

Ann and Nancy Wilson, that's who.

[iluvwickedandrent]

carrie, HANDS DOWN.

[LoveMyCountry24]

This is what made America set up and take notice of Carrie. She is the best any way you take it.

[AllisonIrahetaRules]

ALLISON!

[ninadorj]

Oh my God, ALLISON, ALLISON, ALLISON! She's just unbelievable!!!!

[DiPooh1]

ALLSION!!!

[roquemocan]

All three are good, but Allison has soul, Carly too but a different slower take, Carrie technically top notch

[AlinchenNinchen]

carrie

[davidnelsonberg]

Carrie is the best vocalist. period.

[TayTayGraw]

allison for sure

[alomarez24]

Allison, I Like her Husky Rock Vocals Better

[AmanettyChii]

Allison by miles, much more emotion and her voice is more interesting, Plus, she was freaking 16! then! I mean, dude, she's got some serious pipes!

[CristinaIsabel107]

allison is amazing to sing like that at 16. carrie has a beautiful voice but i just love allison's version of it. allison wins hands down.

[Fuckmeat]

Carly and Carrie have the power for it, but it's not really Carrie's style, so Carly is the best for the song. It's Allison's kind of song, but she doesn't have the power in her voice to hang with the others.

[PUNKNKAT]

Carly has some serious pipes and I love how she sings for We Are The Fallen. Carrie, I love her, but country music is her forte, not rock.

Allison, holy crap, she was 16! The raspyness of her voice, Janis Joplin-esque.

I'm torn between Allison and Carly, but I think Allison has a lead.

[TheIrahetafan1]

ALLISON for sure. carly sounds like shes having a hard time hitting the hard notes and carrie style is a little boring for me.but carrie rocks in her original songs but i just LOVE allison's version cuz her version puts her pop and rock into it without ruining the song.i vote allison.

[mzfreakum]

allison nd carrie

[RufusClancy]

Carrie Underwood all the way.

[Februarylover7]

I say Carrie and Carly :)

[CorySmith1992]

Allison and Carly<3

[syarifbagir]

allison lah

[littlecat0908]

Allison! I'm always getting goosebumps from her!

[beagleluver05]

ALLISON FOR THE WINNNN

[KiwiBabeee]

ALLISON.

[j8a2007]

Allison 100 %!

[guywhocanflip]

Allison! :) But I still LOVE carly

[Sugardinosaurs]

ALLISONNNN

[woozleboo]

I'm sorry, but Ann Wilson's version of this song is the definitive version. No one, and I mean NO ONE, can match the mighty Ann.....or even come close. Ann Wilson is truly a one of a kind, and if anyone tries to sing a song that she has her stamp on, they just sound weak and silly.

Ann Wilson leaves all of them in her dust. Nuff said.

[suzyq1231]

Well Ann Wilson is always the best her songs..Allison, Carrie and then Carly.. They are all better then Celine's version.. It's painful to listen to Celine Dions sing this song..

[07fitchgirl]

that's a tough question!!!

carrie- absolutely amazing, it was something that was out of her comfort zone && she rocked it!!!!

carly- i liked her on idol but i didnt think she did a very good job with this songs...

allison- perfect songs for her && i absolutely love her raspy voice....

im gunna have to give it to allison!!:)

[aGingerkid97]

Carly and Carrie!

[christinamarie1027]

they all did a great job cuz they each did it a different way but if i HAVE to chose i would Allison did the best

[xCoolIce13x]

Carrie did amazing with this song, considering she's a country singer.

Carly really belted it out and it sounded awesome.

I gotta go with Allison. She had the most soul out of the three, and it was a big song considering her age.

[Clifton100]

Allisons chorus sucked but her intro was by far, the best.

[TheAries414]

nah celine dions version is the best

[SMOKEYETRI]

Allison SUNG IT THA BEST!!!

[miyahgabby]

i like carrie and allison....

[RedStainedPoet]

i love carly the best, but this wasn't her best performance. out of THESE, i'd say carrie. 

[oraliax]

Allison all the way

[tezboi89]

carrie killed it

[fmprh]

ALISON!!!

[MrGothicGod]

they are all good singers but i think carrie's version is the best... ;)

[arbieman01]

ALLISON owned it!.. After all the song is a rock classic and i think Allison's voice best fits the song.. but still hats off to carrie and carly for having tried singing the song.. Allison's voice perfectly fits the song..

[lapdogwilly1]

ummm..how about Ann Wilson? The original and still, by far, the best.....yeah, that run two minutes in is all hers, and if you want to hear the best version you've ever heard check out the live in Seattle 2003 version right here on youtube. I always love educating the kids.

[ozwaldp]

If there is doubt who sings this song best, check out Carrie's live performance on YouTube (Nashville 2007); relaxed, sitting down and accompanied by only two guitarists and a violin player with NO backup singers. Power and perfection!

[payingwithfire]

Carrie's was way overrated.. nothing special at all. ALLISON FOR SURE.

[JMD476]

ALLISON ALL THE WAY!!!

[kma123ify]

Carrie Underwood's was the best version BY A MILE

[jcray214]

Allison OWNED it!!! Looove her!!! It's the Greatest Idol Performance Ever!

[boogiebeat09]

They all did great! Allison is my favorite because she poses the natural rock edge

that heart has always had! That is just my opinion please don't bash me for it!

[cleverheart123]

The 3 of them made the song unique, like its a different song, allison gave it the rock type, carly made it great, and carrie was flawless :)

[AutumnRayne]

Absolutely no question.....Carrie OWNED this song!!!! Allison sounds like she's trying to birth a child and Carly is still just a little strained. Carrie's seems effortless, like all her songs, she is such a beautiful woman with a KILLER voice!!! I <3 Carrie!!

[GinaGlocksenFan]

Carrie beat all of them out. She is THE american idol.

[tjs2011]

I believe they were all really good. But i think allisons voice fit the song better than the other too

[Ritawarif]

Allison does it for me..... gotta give her credit she was only 16 when she sang this song....

[Klesider]

allison all the way. carrie's high notes sure sound cool, but she doesn't have the tone of voice to be singing such a song. Allison on the other hand, is a rock goddess. ALLISON YOU ROCK!

[popiliciousfilms]

allison..(:

[betsey0727]

Allison definetely . She made the song come alive again. Her vocals have no limit , she projects

[nicoapple]

carrie!!!!!!!!!

[invaderzim4321]

ALLISON

[MsSaintsfan09]

Carrie for sure!!!

[broncolady4ever]

IMO: CARRIE, hands down!! Carly seemed to be straining a bit; Allison's version wasn't nearly as good as Carrie's!

[kodomac]

Carrie Underwood sang this song the best out of them all she just has the best range out of them all and shes like the best singer out there right now

[MsRockerGal44]

They really all sang the song so differently, it's hard to compare. Carly's to me seemed more theatrical (in parts), Carrie's was very beautiful, and Allison's was very rockerish. Personally, I preferred Allison Iraheta's, but they all did amazing and I love listening to all the versions.

[ShatteredLullabies]

Wow, I don't even know why Allison is being considered here. Nothing but bad. I think Carrie did it the best.

[gordillomock]

technically carrie did better but who suited the song better hands down to ALLISON, i didnt like carly version...

[GaryProVox]

Ann Wilson is still the champ.

[punkstar53]

allison.....

[UTBooth]

It definitely goes Allison, Carrie, and then Carly

[emangel3]

I think they're all good, but if you listen to Carrie's later versions, she's DEFINITELY the BEST!!!!!!!!

[dslite804]

You forgot Gina's version.

[RAGS123abc]

Carrie, 100%

[jhfcf]

I like these versions, but there is no comparison to Ann Wilson's and Celine Dion's performances!!!

[mafleurette]

1. ALLISON

[SoL21jeanne]

arnel pineda is still the best singer of this song for me,,, ^^

[jhfcf]

@SoL21jeanne Ann Wilson, of course, is the best!! She was the original singer of this song!!

[SoL21jeanne]

@jhfcf can't argue with that^^

[daddybuck93]

I liked Allison's version the best!

[JoJoAllSongs]

Allison all the way!!!

I don't get how her f*k#n label is not promoting her.

[rbw1100]

Well,Carrie did it first and had the best overall vocals and arrangement. However, Allison rocked it out more,especially with the limited amount of backup she had.  As for Carly,well I don't think she put enough effort into it. She has the vocals but not the enthusiasm.

[chiisuchiananderesu]

carrie sang it better

[horatiolions]

allison, duh :)
