thanks for the comparision pics! wow she really has lost a LOT of weight. my radio station actually mentioned that the other morning. i was driving to school and they always recap AI the morning after and they mentioned how scary carrie looks now because of the amount of weight she has lost. they kept saying how they hope she can get some help soon and are surprised that no one else has really talked about her on the entertainment shows.

sorry even for free I'm not sure I'd join Carrie's fanclub...it'd be carebear city I'm sure... egads...
and yeah, I'm surprised no one is remarking on her extreme weightloss....but then again the new magazines don't hit the stands until Tuesday so who knows... I think everyone outside of her hardcore fans acknowledge that she's gone too far with the weightloss thing...and intentional or not she needs to really start looking at where she's headed. I've never seen a country female artist have this problem before...aren't country artists above all else supposed to be "normal" "average" everyday people? Carrie looks like every other Hollywood blonde now... |

okay everyone here universally loves BHC right? well I was on youtube looking around and found these covers of that song and what's interesting to me is that ALL of these covers are AS GOOD as Carrie's version...so to me that says it's the song and not the singer who made this song amazing:
check it out: acoustic girl with guitar only 16 year old Erika singing before Josh Gracin concert low sound quality but you can still tell how good this girl is |

^^^Interesting. And yet, with a song like BOY, you can always see the difference between Kelly another singer, even if they are a good singer, it always looks mediocre. (Ex: Lisa Tucker) In case I have to refresh anyone's memory: youtube.com/watch?v=ayfkBfpyGcM
Holy crap she does look a lot skinnier. |

IMO it just proves either Carrie's voice is very generic or her songs are just easy to sing I'm not sure which... Something I have noticed though in watching MANY live Carrie performances is that she gets "help" from the back-up singer on the most difficult notes which makes her voice seem much stronger than it really is... I'm not sure who picked that back-up singer but they did an excellent job cuz her voice blends right in with Carrie to give Carrie's voice some much needed depth.
I loved the girl with the guitar too !! |

Shannon, what did Carrie do to you? You seem like you are on a mission to bring her down. I get that you don't like her, but I don't understand the passion to put her down anywhere and everywhere.
This is not meant to start anything I am just curious. It doesn't make any sense to me. |

WTF? where is everywhere? I'm confused by this comment? I post here, sometimes on sucks and on pulse...wow that's the entire net...I had no idea
 I'm making an observation shully... that is still allowed right? I happen to like Carrie just fine...I don't think the sun rises and sets out of her butt though...I see plenty of other people here saying similar things so why is it ME who you seem to take exception to? this isn't a Carrie board, isn't that what you guys always tell the Carrie fans who get up in arms about people having a different opinion? has that changed, or maybe it's only changed for me? how is my saying that Carrie's voice is generic trying to bring her down or that she's lost too much weight? you're the admin of this board but honestly I don't give a crap.... you like Carrie, that's cool with me...whatever... but I don't have to love her and last time I checked my over 3,000 posts (mainly about Kelly) give me the right to post here about Carrie...unless you'd like to ban me shully....then go ahead... at this point I don't care...I've got the carebears riding my ass all the time, following me to sucks (a board KNOWN for flaming people)...the claymates managed to turn the pulse board into another warzone over Carrie and her amazing success cuz they no longer had Clay to use, and now apparently I can't even express my opinion here...that's pretty freakin sad IMO... |

Actually, I am not a fan of Carrie's and I never have been. She really doesn't register with me all that much. I have just noticed that you are pretty passionate about voicing your negative opinions in many places and was curious as to why is all.
No need to get all upset. |

Quote: I'm passionate about everything I do shully... and I'm not upset just irritated cuz I thought this was the ONE board where I could post my opinions without being questioned about it... one question though, if you were curious why not PM me? you realize that it makes it appear that I'm doing something I shouldn't be by expressing my opinion when you call me out on the board, right? I can't wait til the first carebear has the snappy comeback "oh your own board even thinks you're a hater"... cuz you know they read this thread...they quoted it enough that I think they have it memorized.... I'm not a hater...in fact I'm a fan of Carrie's...I just don't think she's perfect....I don't go to her fanboard and express my less than glowing opinions about here there cuz I don't feel that's right...a fanboard is designed to praise the artist it's there for...so I post my opinions elsewhere so that if the hardcore Carrie fans don't want to see it they don't have too.... perhaps, like with another former Idol who I USED to be a fan of....her fans have turned me off a bit and so what used to be mild dislike for the things she did has turned into something else. It's hard to constantly be attacked from all sides shully... I can't post ANYWHERE it seems without someone crawling out of the woodwork to bash me for my opinion.... I never realized my opinion was so important but clearly it is....

I loved her performance. I thought she sounded great. I think some people here, IMO, don't like her because they see her as a threat to Kelly's success....which shouldn't be taken into consideration seeing as she is ina completely different genre than Kelly is. They're two different people and have both found success in their own ways. I haven't seen Carrie do half the stuff Kelly has been able to.

Quote: I see people use this argument a lot and I have to say it IRKS ME to no end. What does Carrie's success have to do with Kelly? NOTHING...does Carrie's success somehow take away from the things Kelly's accomplished? no it doesn't so this statement IMO is factually inaccurate because NOTHING Carrie does can threaten Kelly's success, she's already there, she's achieved it... what I see is a lot of Carrie fans getting their panties in a twist because not everyone loves and adores Carrie...(sounds disturbingly familiar and much like another fanbase I'm familiar with...) so when any of us, who happen to not be diehard Carrie fans voice an opinion that's even remotely critical we're jealous, threatened or just bitter....completely taking out of the equation that perhaps we just don't like Carrie on that particular day or whatever. I don't think because you or others thought Carrie sounded fantastic on Idol the other night it means that you're less of a Kelly fan...and I also don't think that because I think she wasn't that impressive it means that I'm a Carrie hater who's just sitting here at her computer terrified that the world will "catch on" to the fact that Carrie is better than Kelly and all of the sudden Kelly's career will be over... I didn't like Carrie on Idol...my opinion changed somewhat with the release of her album... I still think she's a boring performer... now that she's approaching Kelly's level of success should I amend my opinion so as not to appear "threatened" by Carrie's success? on another note, there are artists I like who are more success than Kelly (christina, pink, etc), there are artists I dislike that are more successful too (britney) and there a lot of artist I dislike who aren't as successful (jessica simpson, ashlee simpson) just because I have an opinion on these artists, good, bad or indifferent, doesn't mean my fandom of Kelly plays a role one way or another...I was a music fan LONG before I became a Kelly fan...so I for one, don't base my opinion of ANY artist on what it means for Kelly and her career cuz Kelly is the captian of that ship and what someone else does or doesn't do has no influence on where Kelly goes IMO... sorry for the rant |

I honestly don't see Carrie as a "threat" to Kelly. What I do find annoying is the fact that if anyone has a less than glowing opinion of her they are immediately dubbed as a hatah!

I guess I just don't get why you care so much (And no I don't have to get it, I was just curious). It does come off as looking like you are threatened if you continuosly post negatively whenever she has an appearance. You may not feel threatened (and I am sure you don't) it is just the way it comes off to others. And personally I think it hurts the reputation of Kelly's fans because it just stirs up unnecessary fan wars.
Oh well, to each her own I guess. |

Count me in as someone else who didn't particularly care for Carrie on AI - I thought that she was way overrated, and the way Simon pimped her he should have been arrested lol.
As a live performer, I just think that she lacks charisma - at least for me. And IMO her voice live is not particularly impressive - I would never pay to see her perform live. I did however, finally break down ( as I posted earlier in this thread ) and buy her album. And I have to say that I WAS impressed, and that it IS in fact a very good record. But overall I have to agree with Shannon, she benefitted tremendously from the material, and if you consider her ability to sing live, also from the production. I just don't think that her voice is that special, I mean I don't think that it can 'make' a song the way someone else's we know can. I don't feel threatened by Carrie's success, but I am a bit surprised by it - we'll see how well her second album does, because as we all know there was a certain other AI alum who had a big first album and it's been downhill ever since. And actually in terms of vocal talent I think that there are some similarities between the two of them. And Shannon please don't get 'irritated' lol, I would HATE to see you get banned from this board because I really enjoy your contributions ! Just keep doing your thing girl lol - I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates it.
