Carrie Underwood - Carnival Ride Review Summary

Who would have thought an American Idol winner would ever come as far as Carrie Underwood has? Our resident music lovers think Carrie Underwood's second CD, Carnival Ride, is diverse and enjoyable. One fan enthusiastically stated, "If I could buy only one CD this year I would have to pick this one." While one reviewer lamented that Carrie seems to be screaming rather than softly singing, the vast majority love the song choices and the faster tempos on Carnival Ride. If you're a Carrie Underwood fan, our reviewers say you won't be disappointed in her second CD. Other American Idol heavy hitters include Daughtry and Elliot Yamin.

Carrie Underwood is a pretty girl with a pretty voice, singing pretty songs about, presumably, pretty people. And that makes the whole package - including her new album "Carnival Ride" (Arista), like the multi-platinum, award-winning smash before it "Some Hearts" - all kinda nice, if predictable.

There is much wrong with the oft superficial hit show, and hit maker American Idol, but the show has a knack for finding female talent.  Carrie Underwood who won the fourth season of the much watched Fox classic is one of those talents, sort of.  Her first album, Some Hearts (certified 6x platinum)...

When I listened to the first album, I was impressed with her talent, but I like music that is upbeat and makes me want to dance. So I was a little cautious about this album. Most of her songs so far have been inspirational, but there were few songs of hers that make me smile. This album fixed that. Several of her songs are clever and have a faster beat. This album is very VERY country. Including lyrics like "The more boys I meet the more I love my dog" - Personally, I agree with this 100% :)  Some people say that she's screaming her songs, I feel that she's branching out into a bit more of...

I like Carrie Underwood because she has a genuine, honest sound and good old-fashioned talent.  She co-wrote 4 of the songs on this album, and they are some of the best pieces.  She has a few songs that are very serious, like the one about the soldier dying, and a song about a man leaving her.  But there are fun songs too, like "The more boys I meet, the more I like my dog!" and "Last Name," where she gets picked up at a bar.  Of course, Carrie's wonderful voice and gifted musical team make it all come together.  This album proves she is more than a one-hit wonder.  Great music to listen... review »

Carrie Underwood comes out with her second album following all the hype from the first multi platinum seller and boy, does she have some job ahead of her if she wants to be as big of a success this time! Critics are bowing at her and the few reviews I've read are stating that she will do it.

So I was quite eager to get this album. I'm not in a band wagon to hail Hallelujah with her this time. I actually listened this several times over the last few days just to let the music sink in, maybe it will take some time?

Sorry, it did not work for me! The whole album comes across as loud and screechy and...

I think that Carrie Underwood is a hit and I think American Idol was lucky to have found her.  She seems to have this never ending outpouring of goodness and sweetness yet extremely genuine.

     I am a long time listener of carrie Underwood. I believe that this was not her best album. I think she is trying to stay in with the new sound but kind of lost who she really is as a singer. This is my first time writing a review about her. I feel that her voice has grown since american idol because she kind of sucked but now has redeemed herself. I think she must have literally been on a carnival ride when she wrote this or maybe just got off one and was so dizzy that she starting to write this weird album.

     I have nothing against her and I do believe she is an awesome singer...

Carrie Underwood's CD, Carnival Ride, is an exceptional musical experience.  It is family friendly and I can listen to it with my nine year old daughter, which can't be said about a lot of CDs right now, even those that are not "explicit". 

Her songs showcase her amazing talent and the subject matter spans several developmental stages from Last Name, which is about a drunken night out in Vegas ending in marriage to a stranger whose "Last Name" she doesn't even know to Just A Dream which is about a young girl who was supposed to get married to a soldier but instead is attending his funeral service...

 I have to say that carrie underwood is one of the best artist i have heard in a long time and she just gets better with time. I cant wait to hear something new from her.  I remember seeing her when she first started out on american idol and she was great but she surely has improved over time.  most of her songs can be true to almost every person. They really make you think about your life and i can really to relate to all of the lyrics. My  teenage daughter really likes her music and she says that the lyrics really help her and can also make her cry but it gets her to think.   I would really... review »
