I mean, most of us were already aware as she has performed many rock covers in the past, and has even joined Guns N’ Roses on tour as an opener a couple of years ago.
Well, this past weekend, she joined GNR again in Atlanta, and DAMN, did she slay…
That is a hard, hard song to sing. Not for Carrie, though.
Oh, and here she is on “Sweet Child of Mine”:
Ok, why Axl Rose didn’t just let Carrie finish out the song is beyond me, as obviously, he’s not capable of the vocal pyrotechnics that it takes to do it as he used to be.
Anyhow, rumor is that Axl is now Carrie’s “mentor” and is helping her get into the Rock genre.
Does that mean a full shift from Country? Or perhaps just something like a covers album?
I’d honestly prefer just a cover album… but hey, it’s her call.
I just think it’s a cool juxtaposition to see someone all sweet and holy like Carrie rock the face off people.
Also, her legs.
Just, woah.
What do you think? Should Carrie cross over to Rock or not?
Now, I know the woman can ROCK- I mean, she opened up for Guns N’ Roses a few years back, and she really slayed it. And she’s also a Heavy Metal fan, which I think is awesome.
I just didn’t see her trying to cover Limp Bizkit, but props for thinking outside the cover song box!
Here she is at the Velocity Festival in Dyersville, Iowa, over the weekend:
at the Velocity Festival in Dyersville, Iowa, over the weekend.
Well, alrighty then…
She also went on to perform songs from Linkin Park, Collective Soul, and Papa Roach, but her take on Limp Bizkit is what’s getting the most attention.
I love how she cut out the curse words… because, well, Carrie.
I think it would have been cooler to cover “Nookie”…
Anyhow, the performance is getting mixed reactions, but I think it’s fun.
I mean, good for her for doing something different.
The Rock and Metal community is reeling from the loss of the iconic Ozzy Osbourne, and tributes are everywhere.
As they should be. Dude was a freaking LEGEND.
One performance is making the internet rounds this week is actually a performance that happened a couple of years ago on “The Howard Stern Show” where Country star Carrie Underwood performed Ozzy’s “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and slayed it.
Ok, so maybe she doesn’t rock near as hard as Ozzy, but it’s a pretty cool rendition, and definitely worthy.
I love that Carrie Underwood is a big Rock fan, and can turn it up to 11 when needs to, like when she opened up for Guns N’ Roses on tour recently.
Anyhow, I enjoyed that this morning, and hopefully you did as well.
Ok, so I know I’ve sharing a lot of Carrie Underwood performances lately, but she’s so damn good, that I can’t help myself.
Other artists need to be stepping up their game, ok?
Last night on “American Idol”, which, yes, I am watching again sometimes as my 3-year-old son loves it, Carrie Underwood performed Heart’s “Alone” twenty years after her iconic performance on the show when she was a contestant.
And, naturally, she killed it:
Damn.
Aging like a fine wine, physically and vocally.
Remember two decades ago (yes, it’s been that long. Oof.) when she performed it and blew Simon Cowell away?
I remember seeing this live.
Hot damn, she’s come a long way. But even then, she was a star.
Just wanted to throw some CU vocal (and leg) appreciation out there!
Since yesterday was Easter Sunday, “American Idol” did a 3-hour special called “American Idol: Songs of Faith”, and the performance that’s getting the most attention?
Carrie Underwood’s chill bump-inducing rendition of “How Great Thou Art”:
Woaaahhhh…
I’m not the most religious person on the planet, but that one is taking me right to church!
Just wanted to share that with you in case you missed it.
Carrie Underwood is your All-American girl next year, just with an incredible set of pipes (and legs)! She usually stays in the Country and Gospel lane, but every now and again, Carrie puts on her rock girl panties and it’s always glorious.
She’s toured with Guns N’ Roses before (talk about legit, right?), and recently joined Papa Roach onstage for a version of “Last Resort”, and she owns it:
Dammit, woman, is there anything she can’t sing?
She also performed the single that she has out with Papa Roach called “Leave a Light On”, and all proceeds from this song go to suicide prevention:
If you weren’t aware of this song, here’s the actual recorded version:
Badass, and for a great cause.
Honestly, a Carrie Underwood rock covers album wouldn’t be a bad idea, am I right?
In case you’re under a rock or something of the like, you’re aware that today is President Donald Trump’s inaguration.
Look, I’m I’m not here to get into politics. I’m not right or left. I’m just an American. So, if you’re coming here to vent your frustrations, you came to the wrong place.
I love America, flaws and all, and will always do so no matter who is voted in as the leader.
I’m an Army wife, and I take pride in our country and know how good we have it, whether or not you approve of the Coomander-in-Chief.
That being said, Carrie Underwood was tapped to perform “America the Beautiful” at the ceremony, and despite technical issues and the backing track not playing, she immediately sang it A Cappella, and absolutely NAILED it.
Not that I’m surprised. Carrie Underwood is one of the most vocally talented singers out there, and is a total pro and class act.
My favorite part?
Everyone singing along.
Right, left, or in between… you have to admit that was impressive.
Carrie Underwood got so much flack for doing this, and I loved her public statement in response:
“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event. I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”
Country Star Cody Johnson just released a collab with vocal powerhouse Carrie Underwood, and of course, it’s lovely.
The song is called “I’m Gonna Love You”, and it’s just a pure, simple love song:
I have a feeling tha this is going to be a wedding playlist staple…
My family has a wedding venue in West Tennessee called Cogan’s Farm – http://Cogansfarm.com– so check it out!
That’s why I always have weddings on the brain.
Ok, shameless plug aside, is the song anything gorundbreaking?
No. But it doesn’t have to be.
When you have two talents like Cody and Carrie, sometimes keeping it simple and letting the vocals and emotion shine is enough.
In addition, Cody Johnson announced the deluxe version of his latest album “Leather” featuring 13 new songs on November 1st. And in case you weren’t aware, Cody Johnson live is definitely something to see- get tour dates at https://apps.codyjohnsonmusic.com/leather/ and you can catch Carrie Underwood in Vegas with her “Reflections” residency: https://www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com/
