Carrie Underwood - Alone - iHeartRadio

[@dariusdiongco3216]

This was the song that sealed the competition for her when she sang this as an idol contestant. Simon’s prediction of her not only winning the competition but selling more records than any other idol winners before her after her performance was spot on. She sounds even better here than when she sang this as an idol contestant. Glad she was able to do this full cover.

[@row759]

Nope, Carrie seal the deal at her St. Louis audition. All Simon did was say out loud what everybody else was thinking.

[@aaronburtram3175]

Carrie got to perform this on stage with Heart.. It was amazing. Carrie held back on her power out if respect, but here you get to see her unbridled power. I've always lived her music and style. Like how she pulls back on the mic when she hits those power notes. On idol she was a bit nervous so she held it in some, and she was time constrained too.

[@barbhanel4781]

She is awesome 👌

[@row759]

@@aaronburtram3175 Yes, I know. Audience were surprised when Carrie came out, when Heart started performing this song and Carrie came out and held back her power. Carrie did that out of respect for Anne.

While Carrie is amazing, so is her background singer singing harmony!

[@row759]

That is why Jamie Fraley was Carrie's backup singer for so long. She knew when to harmonize with Carrie and not to. And Jamie knew when not to go up high, when Carrie went really high. If you notice when Carrie went really high, Jamie's look said no thanks, she knew Carrie could go extremely high, where Jamie can't go.

The only reason, Carrie did it. Because IHeart Radio wanted to do the full version of it. Since she did only 90 seconds for Idol.

She tried to do this song along side Ann Wilson and Heart and was politely embarrassed by a superior singer!

[@1mondavia2]

Next to Ann Wilson, this is the best cover of this song and the 1st time I heard Carrie sing the whole song since she sang a snippet on Idol. Amazing. I wish she would do an album in between her country albums of nothing but covers of her favorite songs. That would be an outstanding CD I would run to go buy. She can do this while she is pregnant with her 2nd child. Haha. Honestly, I hope she does because it would not be like she was deserting her country roots, but just having fun and really showing everyone what all she can do. She can even throw an original rock song too. What an awesome idea

[@JaimeeBallard]

You are right. If she made an album of her covering all her favorite songs,I'd buy it in heartbeat. I buy everything of hers anyways, but a cover album would be FREAKING AMAZING!!

[@jrsmith1956]

+JaimeeBallard A cover album? Interesting. You mean like the one Gretchen Wilson did? 'Under the Covers" Check it out- it is GOOD.

[@jrsmith1956]

I've been a Heart (Ann and Nancy) fan for decades. My second date with my wife was Heart opening for Bad Company in W. Germany in 1976. I've always believed NO ONE could compete with Ann's voice on a Heart song. NO ONE (though I have to admit, I've wondered what Pat Benatar and Ann could do with each other's material). Ann has been performing 'Alone' for more than 25 years. It is a Heart staple. Don't know how many time Carrie has performed it, but it must be a drop in the bucket compared to Ann. For my money, this clip of Carrie is of someone out-Anning Ann Wilson on a Heart song! This rendition BLEW me right out of my chair. I will be looking into Carrie's albums to see if there are other gems like this. Who knew a country girl could sing like this?
