I like Carrie but I hate country music. I'm happy for her success though. Chris, don't count Kelly out. She previewed new material on her recently wrapped Addicted Tour and I've a feeling her junior effort might out do her sophmore effort.

What a great review. Thanks for the great things you said about Carrie. BHC rocks.

She just can't pull off the angry chick thing.It's like she tries too hard and it comes off as fake.

She wears too much make-up. Take some of it off. She looks fake.

Not only does she pull off the angry chick thing, she takes it to a new level. Best video I have seen in years. Now that's what I call talent.

She was wearing to much make-up. That didn't even look like her. I think she has a great voice but i don't like her videos. That video bored me.

Hahaha. Carrie taking down Kelly? Ha. We'll see.

This video is awesome, and I totally agree with you. Carrie is evolving, and it is so much fun watching it happen. We all knew she was gorgeous and could SING, but she's becoming a huge star...

WOW!!! Barbie goes madddd!!!! Her stylist should be fired!!

You're comparing apples to oranges. Also, American Idol has learned alot since Kelly's first win.

First, they didn't promote Kelly's CD as well as they should. The first day it was on sale, I went to the store, and they did nothing unusual for it, even though it was big news. They also made her first single a "Limited Edition", so many couldn't buy it. Then, they failed to release the best songs from the CD, like " Just Missed the Train"

Kelly also didn't have to pander to the Religious right to have a hit like Underwood did.
She's OK, but she's nowhere near the talent that Kelly is. Country fans buy the blonde of the moment, then they fall out of favor. Tanya Tucker, Leanne Rhimes, they've all been there.

ur right about carrie underwood being a huge success, but kelly clarkson and carrie are different artists. carrie underwood was highly publicized and she is the first country artist to win or even be recognized in american idol. kelly clarkson is in a different genre and is taking her career into her own hands. as well, kelly's sophomore album breakaway has sold over 10 million worldwide. so really, there's not much of a comparison. theyre just too different. but yes, they are both very successful.

1st off I like both Kelly and Carrie. Carrie's debut album is out selling Kelly's 2nd album during the 1st 42 week period by about 300k. Carrie has a lot going for her and Kelly will continue to be successful. Personally I think the writing is on the wall already, Carrie is setting a new benchmark for Future Idols. In regards to this video, WOW, Smoking hot! and you described it very nicely. I'm very impressed with Carries ability to sell story. She has all the right facial expressions, looks like she's been doing this for years. I love the part at the end when she's walking down the street and all the sparks are flying, windows breaking!. This is by far the best video to come from an American Idol to date. Nice review!

Amazing how Carrie Underwood has evolved into the total performing package so quickly! The vocals were always there and now....WOW!

Standing O to Carrie and director Roman White!

Her best video yet! Man, can she pull of the angry girlfriend look! I loved the expression she had when she came face to face with the boyfriend and the bleach blonde tramp. This video is definitly more exciting than any of Kelly's videos and I don't think it is right to blame her lack of sales on "Bad promotion". Stop making excuses for Kelly, it's pathetic.

Eh, wasnt that great. The song is kind of boring, and the video seems really fake..

Carrie's good, and her album is my guilty pleasure. But compare to Kelly, she still has a long way to go. Kelly definitely has more personality to show, whereas I can never connect with Carrie. They're both doing an awesome job though, but I can still see myself as Kelly's long-term fan. Oh yeah, if Kelly produced a country album, I'm sure it will be better (have you heard her sing country songs? It's like Carrie, but with more soul!)

Whoa, whoa, whoa. It seems a lot of people have misinterpreted the article.

In no way am I trying to compare Kelly and Carrie as far as talent or as artists. I love them both, but if I had to pick one of the two, Kelly would be my singer of choice.

In comparing their chart success, however, I was simply trying to point out the great success Carrie has had on radio and on the Billboard charts as far as airplay and sales. And since Kelly has been greatly successful in both, and is also a previous American Idol winner, I felt she was a fit comparison to demonstrate how great Carrie has done for herself since winning.

Ms Peroxide??? With that bleached blonde hair of Carrie??? They stole the bursting windows and glass flying from Erika Jo's first video I Break Things. Idol went and bought Carrie the top country writers because she needed the help but they didn't do that for Kelly or Fantasia. It is Kelly and Fantasia that are the true artists.

love them both.. But kelly is a bit boring now.. While carrie is very much shining.. Fantasia is not much of an artist though.. She lied about her strory on tv.. and trashed AI.. I hate her.. And its not true that AI didn't do anything on fantasia since her album was grammy nominated.. I guess it depends on the artist as well.. Carrie is my Idol.. Loved the video.. Super HOT!!!!!

you r the holy freaking crap of the websit music viedoes

I love this song i dont really like country music tho but this song is 2 THUMBS UP neways keep up the good work. Thanks for a good video. Peace <3 katie

Carrie sings good, but Kel is way much better. Come on Kelly!!!!!!

She does wear way too much make up and she doesn't need to!!!! and though she is doing very well i don't think she will ever surpass Kelly- simply because Kelly is known around the world she has worked hard the last 3 years and as toured everywhere in the world she has now sold over 10 million copies of Breakaway worldwide and at least over 4 million in the US alone! With both albums combined Kelly has easily sold at least 14-15 million worldwide and her next album that will be out in a few months will sellas much or more !

First of all American Idol has much more of a fan base than it did in season one,so yes Carrie's debut is goin to sell more.Most people i talk to now that love kelly dont even realize that she was on AI.Kelly has such talent and such soul when she sings and im sorry but Carrie just doesnt ,shes a pretty girl that can sing fairly well who is the it girl for the moment.Kelly has proven she has staying power,Carrie only has one album,we'll see how long she lasts.its just weird to me that if Carrie is so amazing,then why didnt Reba Mcentire ask her to be on her duets cd.The queen of Country however did ask KELLY CLARKSON.

Wasn't there two videos to this song, because I remember her beating up a black Dodge truck and it ended up being some big guys that wasn't her cheating asshole?

Kelly sucks compared to Carrie....Carrie is hotter, more talented, and will definitly be more successful

Kelly much better than Carrie? Kelly has more staying power than Carrie? Oh yes, and Bush will get the Nobel Prize for Peace, and my hamster can yodel.

Kelly fans, check Carrie Underwood at Youtube, and then keep quiet for ever. I can see one real star coming from Idol, her name is Carrie Underwood. The other one was lucky to be the first of all Idols, which was her advantage in the market. And that's all.

The Before He Cheats Single is tearing up the charts in not only Country, but POP, CHR, Hot AC...you name it!

Kelly Clarkson who?

Hey Carrie I think all your songs are incrediable.You are my first faviorte singer.

well carri you did it again you are the best i got your cd and that poster that comes with the cd and i also have an screen saver of your pictures on google and that song before he cheats that is an harsh way to pay an man back but he had to learn the hard way i also like don't forget to remrber me that song remindes me of when my big sistrer went to college and came back in the fall.
and jesus take the whel when things go wrong in my life i just go to my room and listen to jesus take the wheel you are the best carri oh i am 16 keep up the good work.

Both Carrie and Kelly are exceptionally talented with their vocals. Instead of seeing who would win in a cat fight, we instead, should be wishing for them to work on a song together.

and do you really think she gets much of a say in her makeup on videos???

the proof for that should be her everyday life. It's not like she looks like that (although she still looked gorgeous) everyday of her life. She has a very modest look in public.

Congrats on all her success!

hey guys i dont think shes a bad person i just think that she souldent destroy the dodge she destroyed becaus i like dodges and the way she left it did not surprise me because man she fine if i ever had a chance id go to wit her not that im being perfer or any thing but come on look at this pic i found on google today i think u will agree wit me after u see this the pic is not really that good but if it has her in it it looks like gold i think shes fine as hell i dont no wat u guys think but i think shes pretty as who nos what look at this

Hey!! I LLLOOOOVVVVEEE Carrie!! She is the best person EVER!!

you are soooooooooooooooo hot!!!!!!!!!!!

OK yeah nice talent and all that but what kinda shit is this she's singing about? Violently trashing a dude's car because she's pissed off and wants to get back at him?
Lets' turn this around for a minute: what if it was a male singing about getting tough and trashing a female's car? Not so popular now , is it?
Why is it ok and glorified when a woman goes ballistic and violent against a man?
And then she justifies & rationalizes her violent outburst by saying that she wants save some other girl down the road from being cheated on! WTF??
Come on... turn this song around to be a guy doing that shit to a woman and there'd be no airplay for this song, the dude singing it would be booed off the stage and the record company would be mobbed by picket lines protest ing against violence towards women!!! You KNOW it's true!
Honestly, what would you say to viewing a music video about a guy proudly getting violent on her car because his girl is cheating??? Not so appealing NOW, is it??

well for all you people who like kelly clarkson you dont know what you are talking about cuz carrie is the best you geeks

It is possible to accept that both Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are very good singers. I like Carrie's music very, very much. But did you see and listen to Kelly's last performance with Jeff Beck? This was just brilliant.

i love this music video!

once again, the music scene is focusing frustratingly so on one artist,currently carrie underwood. no wonder she is doing so well. carrie this carrie that. the sad part is, she is doing so well, because most of country is pop these days and there really isnt much in way of talent out there. its like if miami dolphins and new orleans saints were the 10-1 teams and everybody else was below them.

Above all her video was amazing. I dont know what you guys are talking about when you say she wore too much makeup and looked fake but obviously everyone gets their own opinion

Carri Underwood is the best i love her you guess are dumb if you think she don't know how to sing

wow she's great don't you guess think my friend sierra wright is the best freind ever so is my other best friend mikayla moato i love them i would rather have them i love them

carri is the best singer ever solja boy is gay i mean carri's music is real all that rap is not evan close to real music!!!!

carri's cool i guess if you like contry

hey carrie i can not balive i am writhing too you i love all of your songs you are the best.i rally wish i can tal to you on the pone. [Personal contact info deleted]

Come on Kelly Clarkson led the way. She's one of the reasons people respect American Idol these days because she was discovered from it. Don't get me wrong I love Carrie Underwood but don't push Kelly on the side. Her albums Breakaway and Thankful were outstanding. I couldn't listen to anything else when they were out. I think both artists rock and really are amazing. I wish them the best !!

Carrie is AMAZINGG, i went to her concert the other month and ws totally blown away! not only is she a great singer an God-lover, she's drop dead gorgeous, her and hayden panettiere are my two favorite wemon in the WORLD.(:

carri is the hottest girl in the world and she is the best singer in the world so keep it up carri
