He kept stopping and smiling at Carrie as she sang, so I think Randy just kinda was enjoying her performance of his song n didn’t care

I am so tired of the Carrie Underwood bashing here. Seriously, some of you sound like 90 year old ninnies who are stuck with your head in the sand, too stubborn to admit the truth. The truth is, that Carrie is an amazing singer..and she did an incredible job on I Told You So. You just don’t like Carrie for whatever reason, so you make up excuses why her performance was lacking…when it was flawless.

It is also unfair to blame Carrie for Randy’s lack of lines in the song. Perhaps Randy wanted it that way, so as not to steal the thunder from Carrie. It is Carrie’s single this time around, not Randy’s, even though it is his song that he wrote. I think he is a big boy and he agreed to the arrangment well in advance.

Carrie showed a ton of emotion in her performance of the song. The only reason some of you are bashing her performance, is because you don’t like Carrie. She has received universal praise all over the country, and even in the UK, for that performance. It was amazing.

But, maybe if Brad Paisley said it, it must be true.

There is a difference between an opinion and an educated opinion don’t you think. Brad Paisley has been there and done that in the business of country music. I’d say his opinion about a fellow artist carries a bit more substance and truth than what you, me, or anyone that might post here has to say.

Anna: there are those that will argue that Carrie doesn’t need to remix her songs because they are already pop enough. Second, only time will tell if Carrie is talented enough to have longevity in music. The only comparisons that should be between Carrie’s career and Leann’s should be from a comparable standpoint of one to the other. Its not fair to compare Leann’s 10 plus year career to the 3 year career of Carrie’s. Many people said Gretchen Wilson would be a country hit maker for years to come(which she isn’t).

But, maybe if Brad Paisley said it, it must be true.

Well, if *Brad Paisley* said it, it must be true.

I hope Josh’s new cd does real well and will have alot of gems on it, can never get enough og his voice.

I think Darius has made a great transition to country music, and I respect how he is not releasing a new song every two months (overload) like his male counterparts.

I have only one thing to mention about Carrie and I’ll let Brad Paisley say it “Brad Paisley performed his new country hit “Then”. He told Ryan, Carrie Underwood has been the greatest addition to country music in the past ten years.”

Quote from Brad on stage after his AI performance and I think he has a lot more insight and knowledge then the bloggers!!!!

Craig,

Leanne would have the career Carrie if perhaps she was as talented. Carrie does not remix her songs like Leanne has throughout her career. In my opinion Carrie’s voice is more versatile and expressive. Thats why she is able to have 9 hit singles, aside from picking her songs rights its her tone and range.

“I think some of you have developed a bad habit of trashing Carrie on this point, even when it is not true. Some of her earlier performances were wooden. No more.”

I think some Carrie fans have developed a habit of being over-zealous in their praise, and in the processes have also developed a habit of not recognizing and respecting a difference of opinion/taste. Dissenting isn’t trashing. Opinions can be neither be right nor wrong, that’s why they are opinions.

You know, as listeners we tend to be kind of transparent to ourselves, so to speak – but the communication of emotion in art, including music, definitely requires both sides, artist and audience member, to be on the same page. That’s why two people can hear the same performance and differ on whether it communicated “convincing” emotion.
