Natalie Maines doesn't get enough credit for the amazing vocalist she is! Carrie is phenomenal in her own right, but hands down no one can sing like Natalie, especially this song!
DAYYUMMMMMMMMM She's amazing! Love carrie so so so much! i didn't think she'd do this as well as she did to be honest cause it was so fast but really AMAZING performance!
@PrettyGirlOtaku the thing about ballads and her is that she's got a beautiful strong voice that's great for ballads like I Told You So by Randy Travis, or even just a slow song like So Small. She's also got a great personality that just shows more when she sings songs like this.
@row759 Couldn't have said it better myself. She just seemed to really enjoy being on stage every week and not worry about whether or not she was going home (though I'm sure that was on her mind every day but she didn't let it show in her performances).
the problem is that she thinks that she can sing like Natalie. There's a few parts of that song where she tried to sing like Natalie and they fell flat.
@whodeyben The first seasons of American Idol were the best, they had the best idols with Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia and Carrie Underwood, plus of course Clay Aiken. Same is true of Canadian Idol. The trouble with these shows is they get stale fast because it's the same type of thing year after year, though changes keep it fresh, AI has changed beyond recognition
This is so weird… the initial dropping the tempo and then why can't the band keep a constant tempo? So many lags. Very odd. Someone fix that click track.
Ehhh...Look, Carrie is phenomenal singer and a fantastic artist, but, this was not her best on AI. I much prefer Amy Adams’ version from the previous season.
The Dixie Chicks were practically banned on Country radio at the time Carrie performed this.
2023 and still watching her idol performances ❤
1:40...the smile that won many hearts
She sings anything and everything effortlessly. 🔥🎶🌹
Followed her on idol and STILL love her today
One of my fave Carrie idol performances.
Takes alot of breath to sing that song! I think she did a good job with it for her age at the time.
Carrie has proved it. She can do anything!!!!
Natalie Maines doesn't get enough credit for the amazing vocalist she is! Carrie is phenomenal in her own right, but hands down no one can sing like Natalie, especially this song!
Carrie came close
No one even knows who Natalie Maines is
@@StreamHypeBoyByNewJeans bullshit!
She really was born to be a star. Incredible!
Love her! She's amazing! The first time I ever bought a country album, was Carries! :):):) Go Carrie!!!
She's in her element here.
DAYYUMMMMMMMMM She's amazing! Love carrie so so so much! i didn't think she'd do this as well as she did to be honest cause it was so fast but really AMAZING performance!
She do it in her own way and it was an outstanding performance
are you mental?! She can barely carry a tune.
How do you know the word "outstanding " but not the word "did?"
Carrie Rocked IT.
i love that she sang this song because i love carrie underwood and this is my all time favorite dixie chicks song
man i love this song and she made this song hers it is so amazing
Great cover!
Go 'head Carrie!! Get it girl!!!
"Effortletlessly" 3:37
I loved it
Simon said "effortlessletly". Lol
she sang circles around the rest of the competition. Everyone could tell she was gonna win.
Go carrie!
She wasn't there to sing better then the Dixie Chicks she was there to win American Idol which she did.....stop the hate
wow such a voice
@PrettyGirlOtaku the thing about ballads and her is that she's got a beautiful strong voice that's great for ballads like I Told You So by Randy Travis, or even just a slow song like So Small. She's also got a great personality that just shows more when she sings songs like this.
wow, she sung the hound out of this song!
Damn even her sisters are cuties!
This isn't my style of music but she infused this song with so much strong personality. If Simon likes it, that's good enough for me.
I completely forgot that she was even on American Idol and won 😂😂
"effortletlessly"
Awesome! I didn't know she sang this song! I think I still prefer the Dixie chicks version, but this was great!!! =)
I wish I was brave enough to sing in front of people
i agree! it seems like its gone downhill since then...CARRIE ROX!
@lilyfire90210 its amazing how much she's changed...then and now
@row759 Couldn't have said it better myself. She just seemed to really enjoy being on stage every week and not worry about whether or not she was going home (though I'm sure that was on her mind every day but she didn't let it show in her performances).
Paula's Drunk
WHO ELSE LOVE THE CUTE CUTE MOMENT AT 1:40 TO DEATH. IS IT JUST ME?
i think she did a pretty good job , but no one can sing it like Natalie
Yes! The Dixie Chicks rock! It's also weird to see the innocent Carrie from Idol days singing about "mattress dancing."
Clare Thomas Carrie can. She's equally as great as Natalie
the problem is that she thinks that she can sing like Natalie. There's a few parts of that song where she tried to sing like Natalie and they fell flat.
@SthDvs2012 You are sooo right
she is a great singer but doing DC, never got out of second gear
@whodeyben AMEN...I WANT PAULA AND SIMON BACK
i dont really like the beginning but she finished it amazingly!
she is!! lol
Whodeyben it never die get better but lauren was like her then
@nikko3491 I rewound it too and was like... wtf did he say?
wow her sister looks just like her!

@Houston8888 No one can top Natalie...sorry.
This is her best performance right out of the 29. Like she was at the CMAs.
@whodeyben what about Jordin Sparks when she sang Broken Wing or I Who Have Nothing....or David Archuleta when he sang Imagine?
This is so weird… the initial dropping the tempo and then why can't the band keep a constant tempo? So many lags. Very odd. Someone fix that click track.
It's so weird sound...like what's going on?
Simon was right. If she'd screwed this one up that woulda been pretty bad.
She's not Natalie at all, but she did solid.
@cmhuber2 NOBODY is better than dixies...!!
sursrain of course but Carrie is equally as great
You could tell she had vocal lessons after she won Idol because back then she wasn't that good.
Ehhh...Look, Carrie is phenomenal singer and a fantastic artist, but, this was not her best on AI. I much prefer Amy Adams’ version from the previous season.
too slow :/
The same girl that sang Jesus take the wheel.
I think she sounds tinny and is messy right throughout this season....
Seriously, how is she successful?
Just bcos u have no eye for talent doesn't mean she is untalented. Get a grip
she took a sexy song and made it dull
Simon, EFFORLETLESSLY ? REALLY ??
She should never try to sing this song or any other Dixie Chicks song again....
The CJ bitch yes she should.and she HAS sang other Dixie chicks songs bitch. She has the right to sing anything she wants to. She's perfect
I wonder how long Natalie Mains had to practice to get her own song this good.
FAIL
Wow! She should sing more songs like this one (and like Last Name and Cowboy Casanova). Ballads do not suit her.
Good cover but I sure do miss the Dixie Chicks. To bad they couldn't keep their mouths shut.
They won grammy's after opening their moutns, they are fine.
Sure they won Grammys but they stopped selling records
slow
@RonPaul2012Rev indeed... this one is not very good....
I don't really like this song.. just can't get the feeling...
off beat...out of time...kinda crappy really.
that's why she won American Idol and you didnt
darryl diggins fuck off bitch. This is absolutely not even close to off beat or crappy. You little deaf shit
KPoppSlutsitup love that comment

I bet you get drunk on Friday nights and put your boots on and go out and sing karaoke 😂😂😂.
