    Dana, I think her rock performances ( underwood) at least to me come off as a bit forced , she does have a good voice and she is the total package as a performer , and she does seem to be nice and pretty normal .. I saw a video with her singing alone with heart not too many years ago and ann just blew her away it was like …a here’s how it’s done moment – I do not like modern country music at all , I have listened to about 20 Carrie underwood tunes and dont care for any of them, modern country is to much formula songwriting for me ..although chris stapleton is an exception for me –

      Robert,

      I never liked Country either, but there is no doubt that some Country artists like Underwood, and Nettles, can SING. I must also add, that during the holiday times, the country artists sing the traditional Christmas songs, well.

      Also, I agree about Chris Stapleton, he has a great voice, with lots of soul.

      As for Underwood, the only “original” song she recorded that I liked was Before He Cheats. She recently covered Ozzy’s Mama I’m Coming Home, if you are interested you can hear it, here. She does it justice, she loves heavy metal and you can tell.

      I just realized she has gorgeous legs, too. So jealous-LOL!


  • robert davenport on

    Yes about those legs ! I agree she has a great voice , so does nettles , I’m very open minded & open to having my mind changed -she did the ozzy tune pretty well , I’m guessing she will be singing a lot of rock tunes on this tour ??? Does anyone know ?


    • Dana on

      Not sure, but based on opening slot for GN’R, I am guessing a 50/50 split?


  • robert davenport on

    I am curious to see, and hear, what she decides to do , modern country alot of times sounds like 80s hard rock with fiddles and pedal steel added in –


    • Dana on

      Yes, that is what my friend said. as well. I believe the cross over started with Twain, and her ex husband, Mutt Lange.


  • robert davenport on

    I think your 100% right about mutt and twain
