OK, she can sing, but sorry folks, she did not come close to Linda's version. Granted, it's an Everly Brothers tune, but everyone in the Western Hemisphere knows Linda's interpretation. Thumbs down for not even mentioning Linda as an influence. I'm not impressed.
She copied Linda Ronstadt on this, and she did not come close to sounding as good as Linda. STFU all you haters, Carrie is great, but she sounded like crap here.
a little pitchy, but who doesn't get like that once in a while? i love this performance cause you can really see right here the shadow of who she's become today.
Simon was the only real credible judge on this crappy karaoke show ....he just said that Underwood was a good singer here....but she really sucked this song up!!!
there was notthing like the real everly brothers when they sung this sone but its not a bad thing to have it sung as in a new way specially from a female it was a nice touch there notthing like the original in any song so anything its sung diff by someone or in the 90s or 2000s but she did it rather well for the song to be sung by a female im like sinmon it was a nice touch
This song does not suit her voice at all! If you hear Linda's version this one makes you cringe a little inside. It's kind of like singing an old W. Houston song. If you are going to do it you better bring your A game. Carrie's awesome though!
It's great that she credits the Everly Brothers who originally recorded the rock classic written by Phil Everly -- but the arrangement she uses is all Linda Ronstadt.
I like Carrie's version of this song and I respect that she identified this song as an Everly Brothers song, however I believe it is best know as a Linda Ronstadt hit and Carrie does put her own spin on it but clearly keeps much of Linda's changes to the original EB version. I think Carrie should have acknowledged Linda also.
I stumble across this video right after watching Linda Ronstadt's version of the song, and there is just no comparison. I wouldn't normally agree with Paula and Randy but they are spot on this time. Go ahead and compare for yourself!
"Safe and boring"??? hahah ... what a laugh. Man, Carrie could sing "Old McDonald had a farm" and it would be better than most people singing today. Simon was spot-on.
What the hell? Are Randy and Paula drunk? I have seen them comment much better on performances much, much worse than that. THAT WAS A FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE! For once, go Simon!
The 2 of them must have been smoking crack. This was a kick ass performance. Better than the rest of those clowns. Like what teeftaller said, "What has bo donce since idol? He's done shit. Carrie is the one who's won the grammys, cma awards, been inducted into The Grand Ole Opry. Among a whole lot of other awards. Too many to list.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Paula only roots for black men under 21 she can screw, randy doesnt have a clue what to say if he goes before Simon. Partly because hes wondering why Paula hasnt blown him yet since hes black and she loves sucking black meat, second because hes a pussy.
I thought she sounded great. I guess they didnt like her the whole season because she doesnt seem like the type to jump into bed with any black man off the street she meets like Paula does
The arrangement is HORRIBLE....she is a GREAT singer

She mails it in a lot, because she can get away with it.
She's very boring, too perfunctory, and lacking in personality or originality.

Randy and Paula are right. Choosing a country song that suited her voice doesn't mean this was a good performance.
Vocally, it was very okay.
