So many people have tried to sing this song. Carly Smithson, Alison Iraheta, and Jacob Lusk. Jacobs was very good too, but no one has come close to Carrie's, truly amazing!!
carrie underwood and kelly clarkson are the only superstars that have come out of american idol and actually did something, and was successful and lasted.
and all the other people who disagree can bitch about it
but numbers dont lie, and neither does their loyal fan bases.
Obviously Simon was Bull's Eye Accurate. Paula was just jealous because Carrie is young beautiful & talented! If someone's got the talent than acknowledge them for it. That is all Simon was doing.
I remember this,I so want to go back to 2005,best year ever! I graduated high school and so many good stuff,not to mention American Idol was great,now its awful.Great video,Carrie's moment.I want to go back to 2005.
Simon was right. The others suck. Carrie Underwood is a '10' - she is perfect in every way. With her next album, she'll overtake Kelly Clarkson again as those two battle it out for a career for all time #1 Idol Winner
to dsscam, I don't even consider a battle because Carrie is going to easily overtake Kelly with album sales from what I am reading, everybody can't wait until November 3, when her new album titled "Play On" hit stores, the reason I know what the title is, USA Today had it in monday's Life Section, front page.
Row, Wow! You're a big Carrie fan. I clicked on your profile. Yeah, she's the only girl I've ever fallen in love with via televison. : ) She's an angel with an angelic voice. She's the one 'star' who deserves all the accolades.
to dsscam, anythhing wrong with being a fan of hers, she is only singer I know that can go from high to low and back up to high with such ease and she easily will outdo Kelly, I have no doubts about that.
@crashf0rce , yes, I am considering, Kelly even with overseas, which I think Carrie will over take Kelly in longer even with overseas sales, Carrie is that good or should i say better than Kelly anyday and anytime. If there ever was competition between Carrie and Kelly, Carrie wins hands down with doubt.
Im not saying that Kelly or Carrie is better. But you obviously are not thinking logically about international sales. Carrie has 3 million international album sales, Kelly has 12 million. If Carrie was to continue her International sales pattern, she would need to release 9 more albums.
@crashf0rce , I was just waiting to see how Carrie's new album was going to do and I think it will another million or more seller very quickly. Even though Kelly and Carrie are in different music genre, Carrie is still way better than Kelly. Carrie has 11 consective No.1 singles now to her credit. And I still say Carrie will over take album sales with or without international sales help. But countries overseas know about Carrie and they will buy her records.
@v6horse speak for yourself!you cant compare them...allison is younger than carrie and they are 2 different ppl.the way they sing is also different but i love em both!
the "highest selling singer" is really a very stupid thing, and for me, i don't love comparing singers to each other.. cause kelly has a tone in her voice, and carrie has compleletly different one.. and in season 8 in the idol.. i don't know who i want to win, i want allison, cause she has a tone, and megan, cause when i hear them i knew its allison or megan, so chill out people, kelly and carrie both are awesome!
i think what simon means is...the previous winners....he does'nt mean "singers"...coz that is for all the singers in the industry....and hey,,,lets face it...she sale a lot of albums and win more trophies or awards than the "previous american idol winners".......PEACE BUDDY"
Ah that was the night when they messed up with the numbers and they had to replay the previous night's performance with the correct number....Mikalah Gordon left the following day....it was unfortunate cuz i wanted her to go in tour...hehhehehe....i love carrie!!!
Kelly is number 1 right now, but won't be for long. Carrier is one of the most respected country singers in the world right now. She has the fastest selling country album in history.
Kelly had a great first two albums, but nobody cares about her anymore. She isn't one of the most respected pop singers, and when she releases a new album, she will be lucky if it goes platinum.
Carrier has stayed making great music. If she had released another album by now, she would be the number 1 seller.
No. She didnt ruin it, but in no way does it compare to the original. If you want to hear an awesome version of this song, download the LIVE version thats on Playlist: The Very Best Of Heart! Track #4. Gives me goose bumps!
This is one of the Top 5 American Idol Contestant Vocal moments ever... SO many people remember this performance and this is exactly what Simon wants every week.
She should rock out more often!

One of the best vocals in Idol history.
She blew it out of the water.
Subsequent contestants have chosen this song, and they can't touch this performance. It's flawless.
The dancing's weird, but only because she was a little out of her element with something other than country. This song's actually upbeat.
