Carrie May 05, 2012 07:25 PM ET Reviewed by: Oholibamah Her voice has impeccable power, range and finesse, but she loses control of it at times. Performing also wasn't her strong suit on Idol, lacking emotion and stage presence.

Ridiculous Mar 18, 2008 04:26 PM ET Reviewed by: Shane1mojo Carrie is rated #7 in Season 4 and #34 overall. That is ridiculous. She is without a doubt the best contestant this show has seen. First, she has gone from idol and is now the top female artist in country music and top 5 female artist in all of music. Second, she has won awards (Grammy, AMA, CMA, etc.) galore. Third, she has had 3 #1 hits out of 5 singles. Finally, she gave the arguably the best performance in idol history (ranked #1 by TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly) with her performance of Heart's "Alone."

She did her little country cutesy thing, sure it was genuine, but it didn't appeal to me at all. I remember hearing her voice cracking when she sang the victory song in the finale- I assumed it was b/c she was tearing up. Then I hear that song on the radio months later, and it sounded just as bad- she was reaaaaaaaaally reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaching for the notes, they just weren't part of her range. If that's the best she can do, I am completely unimpressed. And I HATE that Jesus take the wheel song. Carrie -- a mystery winner Mar 17, 2006 01:42 PM ET Reviewed by: Manderly Why was/is CU so popular. She has a very good (not great) voice, but she is one of the most wooden performers ever on AI.

I myself am a country girl but Carrie to me was average. I just have to be honest Comments Jul 11, 2005 03:26 PM ET Reviewed by: gwan I think she is brilliant because she sang very well. She is one of the best singer with no experience, but Vonzell is better than her because she just did her performance without bringing the fan's attention and enjoy her music. If to win the American Idol competition, they should find the best performance and quality. If to judge the idols, I think Vonzell win because compared her finalists, she rank #1 best performance and voice. If to judge both performers, Carrie should be rank number 2. I know why she won the competition because of her complexion and style. Also just only her haven't been a bottom 3. I think she looks like she won the beauty pageant competition instead of winning the American Idol competition. This American Idol show doesn't look like finding the best singer, just only find the favorite idol with most votes and style. Carrie Jul 10, 2005 07:00 PM ET Reviewed by: Lana I have nothing to say about Carrie. She was not interesting. Carrie: I Don't Quite Get It Jul 06, 2005 03:34 PM ET Reviewed by: FlyrGrl Carrie is a puzzle for me. I do see a lovely girl, and hear a lovely voice, and I think she may even improve, once she can sing songs better suited for her style. But, other than one or two performances, she just didn't grab me, no connection. I definitely SEE the appeal, she's pretty, blonde, sweet, non-confrontational, 'All-American' in many ways. But something was always missing for me. Carrie does have a good voice, very good range, strength and modulation. I think she became ill during the show and that hurt her in the later performances. But her stage presence was often stilted and stiff, her eyes did not seem to convey the emotions in the words, and she looked frightened or lost at times on the big-stage. Carrie's strengths are her pleasant appearance and vocals, especially in her stronger genre (country ballads). Her weakness is definitely a shallowness, a lack of emotion and connection to both the lyrics and the audience.

I feel she has very little stage presence. Her voice is good , sometimes off key, but studios can correct that, i.e. Ashley Simpson aka Lip syncher. I don't think her voice is that unique, in other words, it sounds like so many others. If I heard her on the radio, I would not be able to identify the voice. I wish her luck though. I would not be inclined to see her in concert, jury still out on buying her CD. A little overrated Jun 06, 2005 09:01 PM ET Reviewed by: chris8677 Carrie is a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice.

I noticed that each week had at least one genre that was specially for her - the problem is that she didn't even do the best in her own genre of country (even the judges agreed that Bo did better). She had no connection with the audience (except for her very final song - not even when doing country music.

She is rarely pitchy or off-key at all. Many of her vocal performances were outstanding. In short, she sings like a nightengale! She should have a great career as a country recording artist. She, however, seems to be able to sing only "country pop" and struggles with other types of music. Some of the hype surrounding her is quite frankly due to the fact that the judges in AI gave her a "free pass" to the finals. Their raving comments about performances that were way above-average vocally and way below average on the entertainment and "it" factors convinced the American public to vote her right into the finals. An American Idol needs to be strong vocally, but also a dynamic, fun performer on the stage. Her stage presence is stilted, stiff and boring. She seems completely uncomfortable with a microphone in her hand. In short, I would purchase her CD's, but never pay money to watch her live as she would probably put me to sleep. Hence, listening to her is like listening to a nightengale while watching paint dry.

Carrie is boring May 17, 2005 05:14 PM ET Reviewed by: IrishConstantineLvr I'm sorry, she seems really sweet but most of her performances have been really boring. She shows no emotion and when she tries it seems out of place. I think she has a beautiful voice but if you were to see her in concert it wouldn't be very entertaining. Carrie May 17, 2005 04:29 PM ET Reviewed by: ivegonebananas27 Carrie is the most boring, unoriginal contestant this season. She has no musical interpretation skills and no emotion. She simply copies the original versions and she has no stage presence. She definitely doesn't deserve all the praise the judges give her. Apathy Inducing May 17, 2005 02:05 PM ET Reviewed by: sandrajumper Nice, I guess. Ok, could watch or fall asleep- either would be equaly appealing. Nice voice, less than average stage presence May 17, 2005 12:06 PM ET Reviewed by: Lynne Carrie's fans will love her no matter what she does. While her voice is very pretty, and she is an attractive cast member, her lack of originality, lack of versatility, and wooden stage performances may hurt her in the long run. I believe she is slated to win AI 4, but her country inspired crooning will limit her overall audience once she's off the television screen on a weekly basis. She doesn't seem to be very versatile, but she can carry a ballad or country tune well. Provide her with the correct type of songs, and her target audience will be pleased. Carrie Inconsistent May 17, 2005 07:59 AM ET Reviewed by: ElderMainer It was very hard to rate Carrie because of her inconsistencies. To me it seems that she has 2 voices. When she is using her "country" voice she can sing with power and style, and she is fun to watch. But when she tries to sing other genres, she uses a different voice which has no breath support at all and sounds wimpy. I feel that often the backup singers were singing louder than she was and that the voters thought it was SHE who was singing powerfully. The weeks that the backup singers backed off, she sounded very weak, and even badly out of tune one week. Carrie is absolutely gorgeous and a good singer most of the time and will probably make it big in the country scene. Boring! May 17, 2005 04:39 AM ET Reviewed by: VimyFae Nice voice, but boring performer. Beautiful girl trapped in a box. May 17, 2005 02:29 AM ET Reviewed by: boo Carrie Underwood is IMO one of the prettiest girls that there has ever been on AI and she does have a good voice. But she lacks stage presence and the ability to emote when singing. However the glimpses of personality shown in the Ford commercials and behind the scenes footage over the weeks , do show that she is a likeable girl , if not a little dimwitted. I have no idea why she continues to perform country songs when they have consistently made for weak performances , meanwhile her forays into pop/rock (Love Is A Battlefield , Trouble) have been her best. Hopefully the producers realize this and encourage her to break out of the country box and into a style of music for which she is better suited. Great Voice May 17, 2005 12:19 AM ET Reviewed by: lkg396 Carrie is a beautiful girl with a great voice, but nothing outstanding and very borin to watch. Gorgeous, good voice, needs more charisma May 17, 2005 12:01 AM ET Reviewed by: AIFan I think she has a great voice, obviously has a lot of power and even control. She has the ability to sing many genres, even though they keep trying to box her into "only country" which I think is a mistake. I thought she did fine on the rock numbers she did. It doesn't help her any for them to label her. She does need to work on showmanship and feeling. She doesn't convey enough at the right times. It may just be something that time will help with---maybe some classes or sessions for choreography. She may show more personality in a different venue and audience. A lot of the previous idols were not extremely outgoing in the performances during the contest but have proved to be a lot better once they got on tour or in a different setting---no judges etc. She may be the same way. The fact that when she has tried to move around, Simon has cut on her for it, maybe holding her down a little. I think that definitely affected others in the past. A prime example is Clay. Simon fussed big time if he showed an expressive fact or tried to move around---he would say Broadway, or musical or horrible. So Clay stopped doing much of it. Whereas anyone who has seen him in concert knows he is forever moving and emoting to a song.

She stumbled a lot early in the competition but has never felt threatened because her popularity was already the highest at the start of the real competition. Now that her performances really count, she's started nailing them, which is a testament to her ability to step up her vocals as well as her performing abilities; however, if Idol was really serious about singing and judging contestants on a week to week basis, she would have been voted off well before this point. I think she'll win, and I'm ok with that, although I personally find another contestant to be both a better singer and better performer. Personality?

I do not like her voice on other songs except for country as she has that twang which to me is unappealing. Her stage presence is so unattractive as she has that startled deer like quality. She does not have a likebility factor for me. In my opinion all she has going for her is the looks aspect and the fact that Simon picked her in the beginning and thus sticks to his choice.
