To add to the screeching vocals she also fucked up the lyrics on the second verse.

She has a nice voice but nothing like George when he sings it.

dam she is good, she did soooo awesome and I am old school so if ANY one says crap about it, it is the meaning about the song not comparison about George being better. LISTEN to it. I cried again, its dam good.

There are some songs that should never be sung by some artists... it's like they were not meant to sing them. I mean, Carry is great and all but... I just didn't feel anything with this rendition, which is a shame because this is such a powerful and sad song.

This is not a terrible performance. If you hadn't heard George's version first, you might really like this. She IS having to push a bit to hard on the power notes but she dropped the early key change which would have made it SO much easier for her. I still prefer his version though. I don't feel sung AT like some people said but I feel sung TO. When George Michael sings it, I feel like I am having some sort of out-of-body experience where I am watching a man trying to sort out the jumble that's in his head about a world he is helpless to change. Just my opinion though. I couldn't sing it better than her and I'd never hope to be even half the artist he is so, hey, just enjoy the music and be grateful we can hear it.

NOTE TO carrie underwood, but no one can touch the original.. she (like way too many female and male singers today!) sings loud and then louder... singing, great fantastic singing is NOT ABOUT HOW LOUD ONE CAN SING, VOCAL GYMNASTICS, ETCETERA IT'S about telling the story of the song with your voice! and she can't do this.. GEORGE MICHAEL HAD THE RIGHT EMOTION AND VOICE TO SING THIS SONG AND TELL IT'S STORY!.. underwood unfortunately is singing AT the audience NOT TO the audience, THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE!,... it's NOT about her and her voice, it's about the song and it's meaning.. this song and it's lyrics are PROFOUND AND POWERFUL and the way she sings it with her voice the song's meaning gets UTTERLY blurred.. the listener can't tell the difference of this meaningful song from any other!.. underwood let's face it is/was helped by the fact she is pretty and blonde, a younger faith hill, and media publicity push.. i've never thought her voice was anything unique or special myself....

I think George gave it more heart and feeling. Meant to be a quieter song I think. The power should be in the words....not the voice necessarily.

While Carrie is extrmely talented, I'm sure she would completely agree not to judge her against someone to the likes of George Michael. Maybe in another 30 years, but I'm sorry her voice does not (YET) hold a candle to the character of George's voice.

This was the best American Idol episode. Carry gave me goose bumps with this song , and Ann Lennox song was awesome to this night.

Actually I must agree with the nay sayers. This is a song where the singer says "look at me, I'm crying" - not "look at me, I'm singing".

How can people call this screaming?! Her voice is resonant. Resonance is the holy grail of singing. Stupid ears.

I love the original, but I love this too. Different takes on the same song can be equally good, and they're both powerful in their own ways.

Piano and strings make this song sound so much like Led Zeppelin's "The Rain Song", a thing I had always thought about "Praying for Time", and now I can appreciate live. .-)
