    Carrie did a great job. ..I'm sure George was happy...may he rest in peace with God...

    Hands down one of the best live vocal performances ever.

      So poignant. The recession was just getting started. Blew me away. She could have been a great RnB singer.

    Carrie - the ultimate Songbird as well as beautiful inside and out - what a combination! I get chills everytime I listen/watch this video! Thank you!

    It's a nice version, but the original version of this song, in my opinion, is a masterpiece...gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Doesn't matter who sings it though...too bad more people don't take the message to heart. Some of the most meaningful lyrics ever.

    Beautiful Song written by one of the best artist in this century. Carrie did a great job, but you do not need to run down GM! He has an amazing voice and has written amazing songs.

    If I'd never heard George Michael singing Praying For Time I may have liked this version, but all I can think of is "stop shouting, Carrie!" I'm so glad George turned up to show people how beautiful his own song actually is.

    & this is once again why carrie underwood
    is my favorite& my idol all among
    others, it's simply because she can
    take a song & deliver it in a way
    i'm not sure many others can, &
    she feels what she sings. The most
    classy woman in the industry of country
    music, which i am a huge fan of, she
    was a born a star, & i love her.

    When I heard her perform his on Idol Gives Back, I was blown away by her delivery. After hearing Michael come onto Idol last week, it's made it harder to listen to this version now. Michael wasn't at his best but still delivered with strength and passion.
    After his Idol performance, my kids are now insisting on me taking them to his San Jose concert in 3 weeks time. I'll have to take out a bank loan now but we've been wanting to catch a true musician's concert together.
    See you in SJ!

    @PlayOnCarrie 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    She's unbeatable. She's the best American Idol ever. And she's one of the top artists of the world. No one can hold this girl down. She's aiming for the top!

    it's a hard pill to swallow, but still fitting song for the occasion. i got teary when her emotions took over her voice. amazing rendition!

  • @nikcolewindham
    @nikcolewindham 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would just like to say that when she starts to cry on the 2nd verse saying " cause he has no children to come back for", that really touched me. she is an amazing singer. With emotion and her roots definitly show in this song.

  • @awwyoulovemee
    @awwyoulovemee 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    no words could possibly describe that performance but this is about as close as you can get. incredible.

  • @lemonhead817
    @lemonhead817 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    this song touches me so much. it makes me wanna cry. i like it when both her and george sing it. its such a beautiful song. we should all pray for time. God doesnt keep score of our sins. dont make it so God has no children to come back for. that would be sooo horrible.

  • @kissesfourme
    @kissesfourme 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    George Michael is quoted "No event inspired the song. It's my way of trying to figure out why it's so hard for people to be good to each other. The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit. Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion."

  • @angelwatn4
    @angelwatn4 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    I believe Carrie is the best Idol ever. She outdid herself. This performance was on Idol Gives back and is so true to what is happening in the world today. Last year she went to the needy and sang I'll Stand By You another one I love.

  • @SunsetAnchor
    @SunsetAnchor 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    this song made me cry. It was so touching, the part where it spoke to me was when she said " excuses, the rich declare themselves poor ". It's so true, some people in society today who actually have money, always want more, and never want to give to anyone who's less fortunite. It sickens me to see these children go through this when they don't need to. I defently think we need to open our eyes and think of others instead of ourselves.

  • @nikcolewindham
    @nikcolewindham 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    i think the evident emotion that she feels while singing always comes through. She is real, and wonderful, and not an "act". I could watch her sing this song over and over and i never get enough of the raw feelings shinning through.

  • @rrose2009
    @rrose2009 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have to agree. She's just singing/performing it very well (possibly over singing it). When George does it, live or studio, you can FEEL it. It makes a difference. And he doesn't have to yell.

  • @designck
    @designck 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    great version, she really does put her all into it! George Michael is still the king of that song though.... he feels it through and through because he wrote it... he has that connection to a song that only the author can really have. Carrie did him proud though!

      Just listen to George's version and then this one will sound rather irrelevant.

  • @boxer1dog
    @boxer1dog 15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    GM ownes this song, He also has many versions of the song. he has wrote many great songs that are still on the radio today. carrie underwood got her start from a a singing show where they had to pick the best of the worst GM got his start because he has talent .

  • @hiya1358
    @hiya1358 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @kynfam
    @kynfam 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love them both, but Carrie by far gave life to this song and gave it the justice it deserves and demands. For whomever wrote this song, it must have been quite the spiritual experience to feel it writing itself - being the vessel it came through. I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing a song like this in years. Props to Carrie.

  • @mindbombdisposal
    @mindbombdisposal 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    George Michael would not give a damn about being compared with someone at the start of their show biz career! He is mature enough, and gentlemanly enough, to give both his talents and creativity to such shows as this...

  • @capnordest
    @capnordest 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Being from the UK, I have no idea who this woman is but to even compare this rendition to George Michael is madness. She screeches her way through this song, it reminds me of the noise of fingernails running down the blackboard! Watch George Michaels Unpluggged version to see how it should be done.

    It was beyond incredible! Brilliant, breathtaking, so emotionally moving. She cried at the end and made me cry too! to the bunny person who said she didn't connect with the song- you are out to lunch. seriously. How is crying, not connecting with the song? laughable....Carrie- you were amazing!!!!

    Carrie has won 30 awards in 2 1/2 years including three Grammy's and one for Best New Artist all genre - and has sold almost 10 million albums in 2 1/2 years and that's pretty amazing in this day of illegal downloading - that's because she has great fans who believe in her and they don't have to tear other singers down- Carrie is a very sweet and honorable person who loves to see her fellow artists succeed and her fans are the fans of many artists

  • @RainHNg
    @RainHNg 16 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @perlonu777
    @perlonu777 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am stunned as to how many people disliked this performance. I watched this show with my neighbors for IGB and one of the neighbors started crying because they said she sang it beautifully. This woman is such an amazing talent and I want to say this to the people bashing this performance: get a hearing aide then go hide in a hole. This song was meant to send a message to help the needy. She performed it great and sent a clear message that people in the world need help. Shame on you all.

  • @horrorfan13666
    @horrorfan13666 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    As always, an incredible performance. The song was so perfect for Idol Gives Back, and Carrie did it beautifully. This performance, in my opinion, was second only to Carrie version of San Antonio Rose at the 2007 Grammys. 9.9/10

  • @webdirectbrands
    @webdirectbrands 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    carrie's performance along with the plain arrangement suited the lyrics almost better than the original, she really put her heart into the song. been watching it over and over again, simply stunning. love her!

  • @yzpd
    @yzpd 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    i luved that way she sang it, powerful when needed, fragile when needed, the anger, the pleading was all there for this song!
    as for AbusedLiver's opinion, i think we've gotten so used to seeing drama queens/kings acting all emotional on this medium that we've stopped listening to the magical pauses between the notes and the expression of the eyes.

  • @animonkey2006
    @animonkey2006 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As much as I like her version, I feel that this performance is still more about "her" and not the actual song. The song is so powerful...and that's what it's about, of course. I still give kudos to the more subdued version, but both are great.

  • @prde55
    @prde55 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    @LookItsDaria 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    When Carrie did this song, it brought tears to my eyes. Yes, kudos to George Michael for putting the song out there, he is an amazing artist. But the way Carrie put this together vocally is nothing less than astonishing.
    We all must face the facts that George Micheal is getting older and is not who he used to be.
    I listened to both his and Carrie's version live on idol (they both preformed this song live in 2008) & I felt as though Carrie was the one who really sent out the song's strong message

  • @arranbi

  • @Cheleyas
    @Cheleyas 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Then I'm not the only one! Many have continued to grasp/regrasp the mic in her wake! It must be a "new" thing!
    Also, I don't think people are "jealous" who give reviews that some may not agree with. She has a nice voice, is a lovely woman and has on a beautiful dress! I comment on her voice (belting/straining) because she should protect it, so that she may sing for the enjoyment of listeners as long as possible. "Poor" "Sure" in the lyrics are strained, forced in her chest voice.

  • @rayva1
