This was the song that sealed the competition for her when she sang this as an idol contestant. Simon’s prediction of her not only winning the competition but selling more records than any other idol winners before her after her performance was spot on. She sounds even better here than when she sang this as an idol contestant. Glad she was able to do this full cover.
Carrie got to perform this on stage with Heart.. It was amazing. Carrie held back on her power out if respect, but here you get to see her unbridled power. I've always lived her music and style. Like how she pulls back on the mic when she hits those power notes. On idol she was a bit nervous so she held it in some, and she was time constrained too.
@@aaronburtram3175 Yes, I know. Audience were surprised when Carrie came out, when Heart started performing this song and Carrie came out and held back her power. Carrie did that out of respect for Anne.
@@row759 just looking back at my typos... Geez.. My eye sights failing me, and my phone is my primary net service, so yeah. Love Carrie. Would love to go to a concert one of these days.
@@mutsuhanma7807That's not Carrying vocals, that's called complimenting vocals. They are different pitches and you have to have that higher pitch to compliment the power notes that Carrie pushes.
That is why Jamie Fraley was Carrie's backup singer for so long. She knew when to harmonize with Carrie and not to. And Jamie knew when not to go up high, when Carrie went really high. If you notice when Carrie went really high, Jamie's look said no thanks, she knew Carrie could go extremely high, where Jamie can't go.
@@tommurray3027 I know my name, so what is your problem? Even Jamie said that. That is why Jamie was a backup singer. Only reason, Jamie left Carrie's band, is husband said he wanted to form a duo and Carrie gave them her blessings.
I love Carrie Underwood and I got goosebumps listening to Carrie Underwood sing Alone by Heart. The young girl doing backup vocaling done a bloody good job too.
I agree both Celine and Carrie are great, but this girl is better than them th-cam.com/video/j2TQKPq8NEU/w-d-xo.html I have goosebumps everytime at 2:04 and 3:09-3:21
The only other woman that can nail this like Ann is Jess Harwood. She sings in a Fleetwood Mac tribute band and a classic rock revue. She has a TH-cam channel and she absolutely smokes!
Everybody knew that about Carrie when she was on Idol. Simon just said what everybody was thinking and Idol producers are still ticked at Simon for saying it. Idol producers were trying to keep the drama but, Carrie pretty much remove the drama. Every contestant knew, except Carrie, that Carrie was going to win it.
Next to Ann Wilson, this is the best cover of this song and the 1st time I heard Carrie sing the whole song since she sang a snippet on Idol. Amazing. I wish she would do an album in between her country albums of nothing but covers of her favorite songs. That would be an outstanding CD I would run to go buy. She can do this while she is pregnant with her 2nd child. Haha. Honestly, I hope she does because it would not be like she was deserting her country roots, but just having fun and really showing everyone what all she can do. She can even throw an original rock song too. What an awesome idea
You are right. If she made an album of her covering all her favorite songs,I'd buy it in heartbeat. I buy everything of hers anyways, but a cover album would be FREAKING AMAZING!!
Carrie beats any other country singer hands down. If Carrie put out covers album and rest of the country singers put out new albums, Carrie wins by a long shot.
Lillian Eversole I saw a video on youtube where Carrie was singing "Alone" on stage next to Ann Wilson herself. Carrie was good, BUT, no one sings it like Ann Wilson. Ann "owns" it. Hands down, Ann Wilson is the greatest female rock singer, ever. Boy, do I love her.....
Legend has it that they had to redo the walls the next day because Carrie's vocals tore the paint right off. I'm not particularly much of a Carrie Underwood fan but I get tears in my eyes and goosebumps on my skin every time I hear her sing this song. Fucking amazing
That background singer SAAAAANNNGG!!! What the? Who is she? I mean... I love Carrie... but DAMN! That background vocalist SLAYED the high harmony! What an extraordinary voice!
The reason, this song fits Carrie so well. Carrie has the power to get up there, where a singer needs to get up high and Carrie gets up there without any trouble.
Ann and Nancy would surely approve! For those of you that love to hear Carrie sing let me make a suggestion. Her new gospel album "My Savior " is amazing even if you're not a gospel fan. She has an angelic voice and amazing range. That's my two cents worth Lol
Absolutely “” My Saviour “ is amazing gospel album. Also “ My Gift” her Christmas 2020”. Her son singing the Little Drummer Boy…. Awesome. Worth listening to.
@@row759 It seems to me that her heart isn’t in country music but in pop or rock music. I don’t follow her but from what I’ve seen she seems like she wants to be a pop star or rocker chick really bad.
What a set of pipes on her ... man , She hits notes that make your hair stand straight up !!! .... Listen to her sing ''How Great Thou Art '' with Vince Gill .... What a voice , best i have heard in a long while .
ALONE, one of my favorite songs by HEART, my favorite girl band, ( THE SISTER ACT ) Carrie does a beautiful job here, with her interpretation, HAIL TO YOU BEAUTIFUL CARRIE!
If you notice at the end of this video. When Carrie holds onto the word "Alone" for so long. Jamie stop singing, like smile and look like, no thanks. I am not doing that. That is the main difference with Carrie and other singers. Carrie can hold it for so long. And lot of other singers can't do that. Of course, she did that a few times on Idol, and Paula said very few artists can do that.
So I am a huge Heart fan ! I think Ann has one of the strongest and most powerful voices ever !! I also love Carrie and to see her do with just the power as Ann is amazing ! WOW
I've been a Heart (Ann and Nancy) fan for decades. My second date with my wife was Heart opening for Bad Company in W. Germany in 1976. I've always believed NO ONE could compete with Ann's voice on a Heart song. NO ONE (though I have to admit, I've wondered what Pat Benatar and Ann could do with each other's material). Ann has been performing 'Alone' for more than 25 years. It is a Heart staple. Don't know how many time Carrie has performed it, but it must be a drop in the bucket compared to Ann. For my money, this clip of Carrie is of someone out-Anning Ann Wilson on a Heart song! This rendition BLEW me right out of my chair. I will be looking into Carrie's albums to see if there are other gems like this. Who knew a country girl could sing like this?
Jeffrey Smith - "For my money, this clip of Carrie is of someone out-Anning Ann Wilson on a Heart song!" You have lost your mind. Yes Carrie has a great voice, but she is no Ann Wilson
Without knowing who she was I knew she would make it big,I saw her in a tv ad,didn t think any until some time later,she was singing some Jesus song,I don t buy cd s but I bought hers,she made it big,couldn t have happened to a nicer girl,may Messiah's Father keep you beautiful ⭐
I like when it comes to higher parts of this song, and her band members can't grinning because of high she can go with such ease. And Jamie, gave that quirky smile, like telling the audience, no I am not going up there. She knows she can't get up there. Carrie does it with such ease and everybody else has to strain to get up there.
For those who have had doubts about Carrie, her voice, was she in the big league vocally, or mainly just another pretty face - performing this particular song - which Ann Wilson owns - so well and with such power and range - definitely serves as proof that Carrie is the Real Deal. Major Talent....
Carrie was sick in this performance, and she STILL destroys "Rachel." LOL at you saying that Rachel was "holding back." Sure didn't seem that way when she painfully croaked out that high note that was so clearly out of her range. You know...the same note that Carrie NAILED? :)
THAT WAS FREAKIN AWESOME!!! Carrie is amazing and this song is so fantastic! Check out that backup singer too! She was amazing too. You gotta be pretty fabulous to back Carrie Underwood, but that backup part is a high one! Great job equally pretty, and super soprano backup singer girl!
I think Carrie surprise everybody with this performance. Since everybody, who watched Carrie performed it on Idol. But that 90 second clip. Where as here, it is the full version of it.
@2:06 where so many have tried an failed in comparison to Ann. Props to Carrie. She's had plenty of practice singing this song. Love this women so much. One of the best singers around today.
Carrie wasn't trying to top the original version. It just happen. Carrie sometimes, doesn't know how good she is. But that humbleness, she has. Which makes her so good.
That backup singer us incredible
She still has a great backup singer and says so when she introduces the whole band during her performances.
This was the song that sealed the competition for her when she sang this as an idol contestant. Simon’s prediction of her not only winning the competition but selling more records than any other idol winners before her after her performance was spot on. She sounds even better here than when she sang this as an idol contestant. Glad she was able to do this full cover.
Nope, Carrie seal the deal at her St. Louis audition. All Simon did was say out loud what everybody else was thinking.
Carrie got to perform this on stage with Heart.. It was amazing. Carrie held back on her power out if respect, but here you get to see her unbridled power. I've always lived her music and style.

The backup singer needs some recognition for being able to keep up with Carrie’s vocals and pitch! She is phenomenal in her own right.
I want to know her name if anyone knows?
You mean for carrying Carrie's vocals...
@@mutsuhanma7807That's not Carrying vocals, that's called complimenting vocals. They are different pitches and you have to have that higher pitch to compliment the power notes that Carrie pushes.
You need a powerful voice for this song. Carrie rocks it.
Wow that background singer was flawless too!
What's her name?
Agreed 👍
This is ALMOST as awesome as HEART!!! (Can't beat Ann and Nancy Wilson)!
Unreal!
While Carrie is amazing, so is her background singer singing harmony!
That is why Jamie Fraley was Carrie's backup singer for so long. She knew when to harmonize with Carrie and not to. And Jamie knew when not to go up high, when Carrie went really high. If you notice when Carrie went really high, Jamie's look said no thanks, she knew Carrie could go extremely high, where Jamie can't go.
@@row759 l
AGREED. The first thing I noticed here is her backup singer.
Impressive.
I noticed that TOO!
Carrie was Great...but so was her back up singer!!!
@@tommurray3027 I know my name, so what is your problem? Even Jamie said that. That is why Jamie was a backup singer. Only reason, Jamie left Carrie's band, is husband said he wanted to form a duo and Carrie gave them her blessings.
Props to the back-up singer as well!
I'm just floored. I new Carrie was the it.. but damn!
I love Carrie Underwood and I got goosebumps listening to Carrie Underwood sing Alone by Heart. The young girl doing backup vocaling done a bloody good job too.
Her name is Jamie Fraley, Jamie isn't young, she is a couple of years older than Carrie.
Best comment ever
Jamie said it took her few times to realize Carrie can go high quickly. Jamie being older than Carrie didn't help Jamie squat.
Carrie Underwood is incredible!! Anyone who can sing an Ann Wilson tune like that has got to be God-gifted!
No Céline dion she' s the best with that song
I agree both Celine and Carrie are great, but this girl is better than them th-cam.com/video/j2TQKPq8NEU/w-d-xo.html
I have goosebumps everytime at 2:04 and 3:09-3:21
The only other woman that can nail this like Ann is Jess Harwood. She sings in a Fleetwood Mac tribute band and a classic rock revue. She has a TH-cam channel and she absolutely smokes!
Ann Wilson is a legend, to sing her music as good as her is unfuckinbelievable
Ann tried schooling her but it was useless. Carrie SUCK's!
She has a voice straight from God. So much talent and puts the rest of the "music" industry crap now a days to shame.
You got that right. Anyone who can do this and then brilliantly cover Guns and Roses is in a league of her own!
Gifted with a voice of an angel ❤
❤ Good job, sweetheart. Looking FINE LOVE ❤️ YOU TOO JON!!!!!!!🎉🎉
I could watch this every day for the rest of my life.
Jordon Winn So could I, LOL 🙂
Me too! It's always been one of my favorite songs being a teen from the 80s generation! 🙋🏼♀️🌟😃
uh, I would say that is a fantastic rendition of that song!!
Thats a Masterpiece ..if someone does it better than the Original ...❤
Simon was right when he said Carrie would be the biggest star ever from American Idol. She has the looks and the voice.
Everybody knew that about Carrie when she was on Idol. Simon just said what everybody was thinking and Idol producers are still ticked at Simon for saying it. Idol producers were trying to keep the drama but, Carrie pretty much remove the drama. Every contestant knew, except Carrie, that Carrie was going to win it.
WOW.....She hits and holds those notes like no other......NO OTHER.

+JaimeeBallard A cover album? Interesting. You mean like the one Gretchen Wilson did? 'Under the Covers" Check it out- it is GOOD.
Carrie beats any other country singer hands down. If Carrie put out covers album and rest of the country singers put out new albums, Carrie wins by a long shot.
Lillian Eversole YESSS YESS YESS I TOTALLY FKN LOVE THIS IDEA

2:00. She's got this smile on her face that says "I'm about to nail this note and I'm one of a handful of people on the planet that can do it."
😂
That is full of it. Why are you making fun of Carrie's vocals.
@@ecardullo10 Carrie doesn't realize how good she is. Carrie just like this song.
@@row759 erniewevik
This made me cry I remember watching her sing this on idol when I was a kid and being so blown away it was by far the most memorable idol performance
My favorite of all time.
Awesome Job!!!!!....with this song Carrie Underwood!!!!❤🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
E
for Carrie to be sick while singing this, and still do this good is amazing. i will always love watching this performance! :)
Fans would take 80% Carrie over anybody else.

Carrie rocks! Her voice soars on this song! She has one of the best female voices on the planet. She is my favorite female singer of all time.
The reason, this song fits Carrie so well. Carrie has the power to get up there, where a singer needs to get up high and Carrie gets up there without any trouble.
Carrie sings this like it were her own song...! Boooom
Jaaaaaaaaaaaaa, carrie wahnsinn, traumhaft, deine Backgroundsängerin ist der Hammer

Well......it’s 2021.......and yes......I had come and get another dose! What an amazing voice and such beautiful person ! Thankyou Lord !
This lady can sing almost anything.... I don't think country is even her best genre.... She is a rock chick at heart...
True, but that comes from Carrie listening to rock and roll music when she was young. But her heart is country music.
@@row759 It seems to me that her heart isn’t in country music but in pop or rock music. I don’t follow her but from what I’ve seen she seems like she wants to be a pop star or rocker chick really bad.
No she cant
@@schumi9xwdc No, she can't what?
How can someone be that beautiful and talented? 🤷♂️
Who puts a thumbs down on this? It's freaking incredible!!!! I've listened to it so many times. One of the best voices in all of music.
the camera work is horrific; possible why
Her back up singer is a straight up queen
Everybody knows that song, she did so well on Idol and Heart paid her the ultimate compliment by having her sing it with them.
Did the camera work piss off anyone else?
Carrie is an absolute World Class singer regardless of music genre
What a set of pipes on her ... man , She hits notes that make your hair stand straight up !!! .... Listen to her sing ''How Great Thou Art '' with Vince Gill .... What a voice , best i have heard in a long while .
STUNNING GIVES ME CHILLS..STRONG PERFORMANCE
Carrie slays this song! Those high notes... girl can sing! Sounds like it could be a single on her next album
Nope, she doesn't want to do that, out of respect of Heart.
Not as good as Ann
Wow! that back-up singer though...
***** You said it. You can't be a slouch and sing backup on this song.
She is pretty hot. Know her name?
Jamelle Fraley (Jamie). The best backup singer Carrie's ever had. She's in Two Story Road now with her husband.
I really miss Jamie. She was the best
really greta but carrie putting out the pipes one evry note and last note wooo that was high
Carrie's voice is like pure liquid gold. Wow!!!
my my my carrie nail it when you have talent show it thanks for posting
WOW Carrie totally nailed that just blown away but there will never be another like Ann WIlson
Wow, just wow... Amazing
She is absolutely amazing.... absolute Goodness!

She's amazing. seriously.
It's beautiful because she knows HEART and obviously loves this song. It's not just talent, it's emotion.

Man ! She puts goosebumps on me ! Awesome 👏
just great ! i love so much Carrie youare
the best !
I wish Carrie makes a Pop-rockish album and cover this. She may be the Queen of the Country Music but she is unappreciated by country music awards.
wooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Thank you thank you thank you!!
God dam Carrie is smoking hot 🔥 and with an incredible vocalist.
I’m still watching this in 2019! ❤️❤️❤️😍😍
2020
I've watched this so many times.
2021!
One of Mt favorite ❤ performance ms carrie underwood has down
. RESPECTFULLY her genre increased several.lrvels. AWESOME
For those who have had doubts about Carrie, her voice, was she in the big league vocally, or mainly just another pretty face - performing this particular song - which Ann Wilson owns - so well and with such power and range - definitely serves as proof that Carrie is the Real Deal. Major Talent....
man.... kudos to that gorgeous background singer for hitting those super high notes... she rocks.... whomever she may be...
I wish she would record this! So good
I doubt it. She doesn't own it. Heart owns it.
robert gardell That doesn't really matter. Celine Dion recorded it as well and she didn't own it.
Yes, I know Celine Dion recorded it. She got permission from Heart.
The only reason, Carrie did it. Because IHeart Radio wanted to do the full version of it. Since she did only 90 seconds for Idol.
She tried to do this song along side Ann Wilson and Heart and was politely embarrassed by a superior singer!
Carrie slayed this song! Best version I've ever heard so far.
Just superb! Incredibly tough to perform but Carrie does the Wilson sisters proud for sure. Strong voice and performance.
Carrie was sick in this performance, and she STILL destroys "Rachel." LOL at you saying that Rachel was "holding back." Sure didn't seem that way when she painfully croaked out that high note that was so clearly out of her range. You know...the same note that Carrie NAILED? :)
I would say even 85% of Carrie's vocals outdoes Rachel's 100%. Plus Carrie won Idol, and Rachel got eliminated.
SUPER SUPER JOB HONEY LOVE YOU MUCH 💥💥🌹💥💥
Every time she sings, I cry! AMAZING
THAT WAS FREAKIN AWESOME!!! Carrie is amazing and this song is so fantastic! Check out that backup singer too! She was amazing too. You gotta be pretty fabulous to back Carrie Underwood, but that backup part is a high one! Great job equally pretty, and super soprano backup singer girl!
If anybody has the pipes like Ann Willson it is Carrie Hunderwood. Only Carrie can sing this song and do it right outside of Ann.
You rock it, backup girl! Wow...
Carrie is at her best when she let's go and belts it. She is fireball that should not restrain herself.
She's got it.
Omg Carrie, you go girl! You nailed it!
I think Carrie surprise everybody with this performance. Since everybody, who watched Carrie performed it on Idol. But that 90 second clip. Where as here, it is the full version of it.
This is the song that Carrie Underwood sang which I KNEW she was going to win Idol.
She is incredible!!!!
I love this cover, she is phenomenal!!
@2:06 where so many have tried an failed in comparison to Ann. Props to Carrie. She's had plenty of practice singing this song. Love this women so much. One of the best singers around today.
She has a voice like an angel
2021 and I’m still watching in awwwwww! 💪💪💪
No one on this planet should ever cover this Ann Wilson gem other than Carrie Underwood...
I was wondering if she would hit that insane note, and she friggn nailed it like Ann used to do. Awesome!
she's the simply the best.... If Carrie would do the best of the ladies that rock album.. it would be in the top 5 of all time
You sang it so beautiful Carrie
Damnnn! The Heart sisters were loving this I bet! 🤘🏽
Best 1980's song done by the best singer in history! Love this version!!! Carrie is the best!!!
Jennie Clark No way no how’ ....lol
Amazing
Holy sh*t that backing vocal woman! So good
Wow so on point 👍
I agree...she sang that song so good. One of my favs...never ignore the original!
Carrie wasn't trying to top the original version. It just happen. Carrie sometimes, doesn't know how good she is. But that humbleness, she has. Which makes her so good.
Beautifully done, Mrs Underwood!
