Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift’s duet at the Grammys ended up sounding better than i would have expected

The performance was great..Carrie gives nothing less.
I guess what I’m saying is she won for “Female Vocal COUNTRY Performance” on that song “Last Name”.

Now the other choices for “Country” performance:
Yearwood’s “This is Me Your Talking To”; Womack’s “Last Call”; Rimes, “What I Cannot Change” and McBride’s “For These Times”.

Then Carrie goes out and showcases her “Country” win with a true ROCK, loud version of “Last Name”. Where’s the “Country”?

I admit when I saw the nominees for all the Grammy Country categories, I was impressed. The Grammy’s got it right. But…

Maybe it’s just me and that song as well. Country has always been about the well written song..

Ok…I’m done on this subject. Sorry.

Taylor was better then usual, but still pitchy on the high notes. I was pleasantly surprised with Miley though because I expected much worse. She has a little bit of Billy Rae’s husky voice, but she needs to grow into it. Miley wasn’t’ good, but she wasn’t horrible.

Tsharky Taylor sounded a lot better than miley on their performance. Sometimes i think people will hate Taylor no matter what she does.

The NY Times,LA Times, Time Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, and tons of other blogs, newspapers, and random fans have given Carrie nothing short of RAVE reviews for her kickass performance at the Grammys.

I thought Carrie’s performance was pne the best of the night in all genres. Sugarland also nailed Stay, and made country proud. I liked Kenny’s performance though it was not a showstopper or anything. Taylor and Miley were pitchy and annoying, but not a complete trainwreck. Miley saved the performance as she is a much stronger singer then Taylor.

But Carrie rocked. Her vocals were spot on, her stage presence was amazing, and overall, she ROCKED HARD. She was on fire! Yet here we are again, with the same haters bashing her to no end, just because you can.

I feel some of you are not being consistent in your unduly harsh criticism of Carrie. In the past some of you have said you don’t like Carrie’s stage presence or lack of emotion, though you feel she is a good singer. Well, last night, she gave you emotion, edge, fire power, and she rocked that song to her core. If that wasn’t emotion, then I don’t know what is.

Bottom Line: Carrie was amazing, and showed the pitchy Disney tweens there what a real singer actually sounds like.

Sure, she has given better vocal performance before, but this song is not about a big vocal masterpiece. It is a fun, rocking song meant to get the crowd riled up at her concerts, which it does. Even so, her vocals were very strong.

I think some of you will just hate Carrie no matter what she does, or how amazing she performs, so I am not sure why I am wasting my time.

They probably rocked up the performance because 19 wanted to showcase the excellent girl guitar player who just happens to have an album about to come out. I very much enjoyed the performance. I think Carrie Underwood is amazing.

Anna, I love Carrie. Honest. I’m even a member of her fanclub. But, I guess I know the potential of that voice of hers and sometimes, when I see the “screaming” songs like “Last Name”..well, I want to scream because of the talent being wasted. I know she’s always liked 80’s rock..so she’s going to have her fun. But as one review said, “Carrie was more rock than Country that night” Also, I have never liked that song. There is one line”We left the club at 3:00..In the morning” In the morning does not work there. It’s like they couldn’t find anything else and went..oh well.

vicki, some carrie fan you are. Carrie was voted by la times, ny times, spin magazine, et, among the top 2 performers of the night. Some people need to dig yourselfs out your hole and really listen.

Carrie was the highlight of the night. I hope she goes down this path: As ny times said, “she was on fire and not stopping”.
