AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 4 - CARRIE UNDERWOOD - ALONE (with judges comments) HQ

[mvptitans09]

the background singer is pretty good herself. awesome performance.

[Dirullo]

Who does the second voice? o.O

[onlinelurker08]

I get chills when I listen to her version of this awesome song.

[catinahat93]

@irish66212 Youtube can't pitch her voice from the rest of the band...

[Inspector711]

she lost the feel of the song.

[catinahat93]

Is it just me or is she a few cents low throughout the song? not saying i would do it better, 'cuz i wouldn't but i don't think this was as good as everyone says...

[wildtaz369]

she killed this song and is the idol of all time this is greatness

[addalexand]

She is AMERICAN IDOL

[suzcruzlady]

the back ground singer should have toned it down a bit

[lalann8819]

When Simon made that prediction, i was def skeptical. I'm so glad i was wrong, she is one of the best idol winners next to Kelly and Scotty.

[aumalespaul]

PLease...anything under 720 is N O T HQ!

[theytrebel]

@aumalespaul If you are referring to HD, this would be correct. However, this was recorded from an analogue broadcast on an analogue recorder for which 480 lines is accepted as HQ.

[swimsurfgirl101]

ok she is absolutely amazing!!! i rooted for her through all of this season! simon is so right

[allstardjb]

TREMENDOUS VOCAL!!!! she is sooooooo gifted with singing and even though this song wasn't country, SHE NAILED IT. i am speechless n if i m any1 else i would'nt try 2 sing this song unless i can sing it better. One of my favorite performances from this season and from the show at large.

[jeroendekangeroen]

That back up singer needs half the credit carrie gets!!!!!! Because she takes the high notes!!!

[1crazykoala]

@jeroendekangeroen EXACTLY what I was thinking. :p

[SquallCloud]

How the hell was I a Bo fan? I think maybe her perfection was a bit off putting? lol I'm happy for her tho. It's good to see people do a good job and be rewarded for it. Go 'head Simon with your prediction. This is a great vid!

[92Dionne]

I don't know but other than Carrie being amazing, Simon was damn amazing too. I mean how can someone actually know she would be so popular now?!!

[onlyfarfaraway]

Well Simon was right wasn't he ;)

[CMUFan26]

<3

[Sami14037]

i luv u carrie nd whoever doesnt u dont know true music

[Queenieio7]

Love you, Carrie. But why would you let ANYONE do that to your hair?!

[airialassault123]

@Queenieio7

she looks cute and beautiful!!! hello??!!! I bet you don't look that good!!! not lol

[row759]

Everybody keeps mention that Carrie can't sing pop, which actually isn't true at all. Carrie can sing pop quite well, it just that Carrie loves and prefers country. If Carrie wanted go into Pop genre, she probably be able to outsing anybody there in the pop genre. Maybe pop artists should be happy Carrie does so well in country that she stays in country because loves it.

[admiralpanda]

simon you were probably right with that comment... Carrie is a GOD

[vballs2hot4u]

Sometimes i wonder if carrie looks at these videos and says " wow i cant believe that everything i have is from here and how much my life has changed through this?"

[lovelikecrazy1992]

Yeah, Simon was dead on with his prediction about Carrie!!! Unbelievable! :D I love Carrie!! :D She is gorgeous and has a gorgeous voice :)

[stormye155]

Her vocals are so amazing on this video. She has really lived up to her title of being an American Idol. Kelly C. has also lived up to her title. I know the 2 ladies are good friends and I so wish they would do a duo together. I know I would wait up all night long to be the first in line for that.

[whschaps1001]

KELLY CLARKSON > carrie underwood

[ChilenoPiscean22]

@whschaps1001

If carrie choose to go into a more WORLDY accepted genre of music like Pop carrie would of passed KELLY AGES AGO, BUT carrie choose to sing the genre she loves which is namely only popular in the west HENCE the reason carrie is more popular and succeful in America and Canada then Kelly, you lose.

[whschaps1001]

@ChilenoPiscean22 Considering Kelly has more then 10,000,000 more copies sold then Carrie no matter where they ARE sold, i say kelly wins.. not only that but have you considered that maybe carrie doesn't sing pop because she would sound awful doing so? I think thats the reason. Regardless, Kelly is a better singer, and has way more total albums sold which is what is really important so no, YOU LOSE

[ChilenoPiscean22]

@whschaps1001

HAHAHA carrie HAS song all genres, covers and all and she IS AMAZING! your forgetting also that carrie owns WAY more awards then Kelly INCLUDIDNG people choice awards one of which was favrioate star under 35 which included all enertainment genres (actors etc) so to think that Kelly is more liked is quite laughable!!! But whatever like you who ever you want doesnt matter.

[whschaps1001]

@ChilenoPiscean22 You keep forgetting the main and most important thing! Kelly clarkson has 23 MILLION albums to carries 12 Million... last time i checked 23>12

[ChilenoPiscean22]

@whschaps1001

Yea cause kelly has only been on the scene about 3 years longer then Carrie???

Also Carrie sings country BY CHOICE, which is obviously not wildly popular as Pop.

Again this is why Carrie has and is more popular in the U.S.A and in Canada then kelly, she has sold more dometically.

[airialassault123]

@whschaps1001

carrie blows her away.......... hello! her voice, her looks.... everything. Kelly is nothing compared to her and she's a little fat, fatty to go along with it. Get real!!!!

[vballs2hot4u]

@whschaps1001 im gonna jump in here, ummm try and have kelly sing country! I dont think so. Carrie is very capable of singing pop...

[2012chriswill]

@whschaps1001 uhh no i'm pretty sure you lose cuz everyone in their right mind knows carrie is 10x the singer kelly is. Carrie doesn't not sing pop because she cant...its cuz she doesn't WANT to; I have heard her sing pop before and its just as good as her country. Kelly Clarkson isn't halfff as popular on pop music channels as carrie is on country channels.

CARRE UNDERWOOD > kelly clarkson.

and btw, i'm not saying i dont like kelly, i think she's great too. but not nearly as good as Carrie

[MolineScott]

She had a WAAAY better body THEN!.Now she is too skinny.. her actually had a perfect ass here!

[sexykitten0627]

Holy Shit! Such an amazing performance.

[GeeWindu]

Only two singers have ever sang this good on Idol: Allison Iraheta and one Carrie Underwood. Brilliantly done. Bravo!

[Grade00School]

That Background singer was killin too, lol!

[hannacrystal]

she lost hella lot of weight! go carrie ! :D

[Hbk96rTaker08rRko09]

simon was dead on in the us se as otsold Kelly, but in total sales its kelly

[nalulani2021]

damnn simon!!! he was so right thats ....kinda scary , but awesome lol

[MultiAleph]

The Greatest

[rideasherride]

Carrie was amazing then and is still amazing...a first class talent and a first class person

[IWantYourSock]

she never looks like she's straining! so awesome!!

[Ccaritou]

oh my god, she's so fucking damn awesom !! what a voice god! love you carrie♥

[EmilyTotten]

see simon for all the peopel who tell simon to shut up and hes so rude yadi yadi yadda.... HE IS ALWAYS rite, and he was especially rite her

[Djewelsinger]

simon is so smart

[roan2422]

allison iraheta's version is also a great one

[CL9361]

i predicted she was gonna win from her first audition omg shes soooooo bomb

[PaintItBlack11]

I'm amazed at how accurate his prediction was!

[whschaps1001]

@PaintItBlack11 Its not accurate, kelly clarkson has 23 Million Worldwide while Carrie has about 12 Million, not very close.

[jake99776]

5 years later Simon..............

Good Call

[DaBeatlesRock08]

DAMN. she can realllyy sing. allison's version was great, too.

[row759]

I think Carrie's version is why judges have a hard time getting another contestant to perform this song this well, with that much vocal power.

[babsbud]

@row759 Jacob Lusk performed it last night. While I like him, he didn't compare to Carrie on this!!!

[row759]

@babsbud ,that is one of the rest I don't watch American Idol, they are trying to hard to next superstar to top Carrie, which to me proves how actually go she really is. Carrie sings smooth and having that much vocal power with that smooth voice is I think ver rare.

[BBBYpsi]

@row759 Carly did a really good job on it to.

[row759]

@BBBYpsi aren't you understating that. She did an outstanding job with it.

[BBBYpsi]

@row759 Are you that dense. I agree she did a outstanding job just pointing out Carly Smithson did a great job on that song to. To tell you the truth I think Carrie is such a chameleon she can sing anything & sound good.

[row759]

@BBBYpsi you got your opinion and I got my mine. Plus why do the judges compare everybody singing to Carrie and not Carly. That's how good of job Carrie plus Carrie won the competition and Carly didn't.

[BBBYpsi]

@row759 You really are a idiot aren't you. I did nothing but compliment Carrie & to me her & Kelly are the only two that deserved to be called a american idol winner. Carrie is one of my favorites out there right now. You completely missed the point I simply said carly did a good job to. Never said she did a better job.

[row759]

@BBBYpsi whatever.

[Elphie3000]

this is saula's song

[xo1shopgirlie1xo]

omg i love carrie underwood sooooo much!! she is my idol!! i met her at a meet and greet and she is so sweet and genuine!! i love you carrie!!!!!! :)

[drobin3149]

This is the night Carrie won. Simon says it all.

[coverme77]

This is without a doubt the best performace to date in the history of American Idol.

[karey26]

@coverme77 i agree. i remember watching this live and it blew me away. i was like wow did i just hear that from a contestant. damn.

[row759]

to theytrebel, this was what push to top of the heap, that's not even up for the debate, this what seperate her from the bunch without a doubt.

[ctf20]

Simon was right!!

This was one of my favorite performances of hers.

[theresap1031]

Well SImon was right !!!!!!!!!!!!!-Kicking the boys of Country Music ARSE----Entertainer of the YEAR---WOW__good for her--Suck it Jessica no talent Simpson-she must have choked on a corn nut last night

[playitjade]

I love this performance, brilliant!

[Raidr88]

Ahhh...back when Paula was somewhat coherent.

[wickedphant0m]

Haha, seriously. But come on, how much fun is drunk Paula?

[Agentmufff]

I want Carrie Underwood to touch my lips and hold me tight..

[pmb003]

My mom loves this program
