Carrie on American Idol Discussion Thread

Good thing she auditioned, 'cos we probably wouldn't have known about her otherwise!

....Actually, do you agree with that? I do. I reckon that was her last ditch effort at the "official" music thing. If she didn't have the guts to audition for that, I think she'd have just done her mass comm/journalism thing, with the music as just a hobby.

Anyway, what are your favourite performances from her American Idol journey? I loved pretty much all of them..but I adored Could've Been, Making Love Out of Nothing At All and Alone of course.

What about you?

Like Oprah said, had she not auditioned "it would've been a BIG what if!"

I loved Angels Brought Me Here and Could've Been.

Every non-Australian person seems to have loved her ABMH rendition! I don't get that. It was good vocally, don't get me wrong, just a bit cliched..angels? Dude. Seriously? Ah well, she loves the cheese I spose.

The lyrics were a bit clichéd I suppose, but the emotion she put into the song is what really grabbed me.

I didn't love love it, but I heard Guy sing it before she did, so it sounded kind of weird to me, but there's definitely a difference of emotion.

I really loved Making Love Out of Noting At All, Trouble, and Alone.

I love the version of ABMH on the last performance night because of all the emotion she put into it, but I'm not a big fan of the song or her performance of it on results night.

I loved ABMH cause of the emotion too. I also loved Alone, Independence Day, and when she sang Bless The Broken Road with Rascal Flatts.

I thought that was nifty how she was never in the bottom 3.. that's never happened for any other idol I've backed.

Ah yes, I remember Randy going on about her lack of stage presence..she's certainly worked on that since!

Seriously, she's awesome! I'm listening to her version of Alone right now and I love it.

Yes, I think Carrie owes a lot to American Idol ... well, I mean that without that show I'm not sure she would have had the break that she did get.

Even with winning American Idol, many winners don't become famous like her. Kelly Clarkson has done well, but most others don't have quite as solid of a career.... Carrie has just blossumed! She's won so many awards

Wow. I've never realised that.

Carol - Yeah. It's very true that if Carrie hadn't auditioned, we wouldn't know about her now.
