Goes to radio on February 28th

Posted by: Liаm Jan 25 2012, 04:26 PM

DEAD.

It better leak cause I literally can't wait any longer for new Carrie now we have news drama.gif The album is sure to be nothing short of incredible, Carnival Ride and Some Hearts are in my top 5 albums ever and Play On would be just outside top 10 wub.gif

Excuse me well I die of a stan's excitement.

Posted by: Neil Jan 25 2012, 06:05 PM

It's been FOREVER since we had new Carrie, or so it seems.

Crazy excited for this smile.gif

Posted by: Gerald1990 Jan 25 2012, 10:38 PM

Aaah SUPER excited for this, feels like a long time since cowboy casanova premiered from her last album :-))

Posted by: dannjohn3 Jan 27 2012, 12:07 PM

I've been bumming "Carnival Ride" hard recently, am into new Carrie smile.gif

Posted by: SlimJim Feb 2 2012, 09:25 AM

such an amazing voice! cant wait to hear it cheer.gif

Posted by: Joao. Feb 2 2012, 07:26 PM

Album is out May 1st biggrin.gif Looking forward to this. Hopefully it makes up for Play On!

Posted by: Liаm Feb 2 2012, 07:34 PM

Play On doesn't need making up for tongue.gif

Ugh, this needs to leak right now sleep.gif I need it in my life!

Posted by: Joao. Feb 2 2012, 07:52 PM

I never managed to get into Play On. Wasn't anywhere near as good as the first two albums.

Posted by: Kelly Feb 4 2012, 04:39 PM

Love Underwood! I'm pleased she took a break after Play On, I thought she seemed to just waltz into every album campaign approximately 30 seconds after declaring the last one finished. She has some strong albums under her belt too, some of my favourites! happy.gif

Posted by: Regina Feb 4 2012, 08:28 PM

Thanks to Liam I am a rather big fan of Carrie, but only have Play On laugh.gif Got a fair few other tracks though, can't wait for this.

Posted by: Joao. Feb 14 2012, 03:43 PM

30 second clip:

Posted by: Liаm Feb 14 2012, 03:45 PM

ZOMG AMAZING DEAD.

Sounds absolutely amazing. Classic Carrie <3

Posted by: Silas Feb 14 2012, 04:44 PM

Dammit it's been taken down already.


I am rather a fan of Carrie, I picked up the album with Cowboy Cassanova in Florida and LOVED it. I already had Carnival Ride before that (I think that's the one, The on I have has Before He Cheats on it)

Posted by: Liаm Feb 14 2012, 04:47 PM

You have Some Hearts then tongue.gif Carnival Ride is her 2nd (and best) album. All are incredible and in my top 20 of all time though.

Posted by: Silas Feb 14 2012, 04:52 PM

Just checked my iPod, says I have all three! laugh.gif Ooops.


I do like her, I'm just new to fandom.

It's great but nothing tops Some Hearts for me, still genuinely amongst my all time top ten albums, THE best reality TV graduate debut album ever by a long long mile.

Good Girl sounds decent from the clip!

Well I can't really argue with that because both are in my top 5 of all time tongue.gif

BETTER BE TRUE. Only SIX days w00t.gif

Posted by: Neil Feb 17 2012, 07:21 PM

^ It was always going to be released to radio 23rd February. I think 28th is download release smile.gif

Posted by: Liаm Feb 17 2012, 07:23 PM

Oh, I didn't know that tongue.gif The first post says the 28th. But the closer new Carrie is, the better!

Posted by: j₳rk Feb 23 2012, 11:51 AM



Sounds pretty damn good...


Posted by: Silas Feb 23 2012, 01:09 PM

Oh good! It's back up.


That sounds really promising from the clip.

Posted by: SlimJim Feb 23 2012, 05:54 PM

Isn't the full song premiering today?

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D Feb 23 2012, 06:06 PM

That clip sounds amazing! Can't wait to hear the full song. smile.gif

Posted by: Liаm Feb 23 2012, 06:31 PM

I NEED THIS NOW.

The Queen Of Music is finally back.

Posted by: Gerald1990 Feb 24 2012, 02:27 AM

can't wait to hear full version!

Posted by: Liаm Feb 24 2012, 07:02 AM

OH MY GOD. AMAZING.

Firey, feisty classic Carrie wub.gif I am in love after one listen!

Posted by: SlimJim Feb 24 2012, 08:20 AM

finally the full version!! on repeat wub.gif "you better get so getting on your goodbye shoes...." dance.gif

Posted by: Regina Feb 24 2012, 12:35 PM

Its alright, but its too poppy for my liking, certainly not her best song. Hopefully the album proves to be better.

Posted by: Liаm Feb 24 2012, 01:02 PM

She always does a totally varied album, there is no worries there on my front biggrin.gif

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D Feb 24 2012, 01:10 PM

Where can I hear it? smile.gif

Posted by: j₳rk Feb 24 2012, 01:33 PM



It's fantastic! So breezy and hooky.


Posted by: Liаm Feb 24 2012, 05:10 PM

After like 30 listens (not even joking), it's really reminding me of Rumour Has It in places!

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D Feb 24 2012, 05:18 PM

I actually love it! Brilliant song, can't wait till it's released. smile.gif

Posted by: Gerald1990 Feb 24 2012, 11:35 PM

OMG i love it! Have had it on repeat for some time now, go Carrie

Posted by: Joao. Feb 25 2012, 03:19 PM

Shania who? I can finally forgive her for Cowboy Casanova.

Posted by: j₳rk Feb 25 2012, 03:28 PM

How could you not have liked Cowboy Casanova Joao?!

Posted by: Liаm Feb 25 2012, 03:30 PM

PREACH. Cowboy Cassanova is an easy Carrie top 5 entry for me, and she's my favourite singer of all time!

Posted by: Joao. Feb 25 2012, 04:34 PM

I really could not get into the third era. It was pretty forgettable. Apart from Temporary Home. The video makes me so emotional.

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D Feb 25 2012, 04:36 PM

I've literally only heard Cowboy Casanova and Temporary Home from the third album, and I liked both, but TH is infinitely better. wub.gif

Saying that, I've heard less than 10 Carrie songs anyway, but I hope to get her albums when I have the money. smile.gif

Posted by: SlimJim Feb 25 2012, 09:45 PM

2 on U.S itunes yahoo.gif

Posted by: Mark. Feb 26 2012, 11:02 AM

It's not too bad, loved her other material, this one may need a few more listens to get into it. But it's okay.

Posted by: j₳rk Feb 26 2012, 04:41 PM

I'm really getting into Play On at the minute. Unapologize is especially great. I have all her albums but I've never really given them a proper go beyond the singles. I'm going to work backwards.

I also had a little go at doing my own cover art for Good Girl using the image from the single cover...


Posted by: Joao. Feb 26 2012, 05:41 PM

^I like! Not sure on the font for Carrie's name though.

Posted by: SlimJim Mar 3 2012, 05:24 PM

debuted at 24 on the hot 100

Posted by: Liаm Mar 5 2012, 08:24 PM

The album is being revealed today, 'piece by piece'.

I'll have a look tomorrow morning since it should be done then tongue.gif

Posted by: Mark. Mar 5 2012, 11:44 PM

Little teasers have been posted for the new album cover on her official facebook, new bits are being posted all night until the whole thing is revealed.
I must say it's not looking too bad.

[obviouspun]I'm blown away by the blown away cover[/obviouspun]


Srsly though, the cover looks incredible. Easily her best.

Posted by: billy. Mar 6 2012, 01:21 AM

She looks fiiiiiiiit!

Posted by: j₳rk Mar 6 2012, 01:37 AM

Photoshop fail.

Posted by: Liаm Mar 6 2012, 07:51 AM

LOVE it.

Shit title but it's her best album cover and she's stunning <3

Nice cover, she looks good.

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D Mar 6 2012, 04:05 PM

Posted by: ☜★☞ Mar 13 2012, 10:21 PM

Pretty good. Looks like somebody had fun in the editing suite. I wish they'd made a bit more of the two Carries coming face to face at the end though...


Posted by: Crazytowel Mar 14 2012, 12:04 PM

Really great video! The song might be growing on me finally too.

Posted by: Mark. Mar 14 2012, 12:18 PM

Love the video to it. Pretty awesome.

Posted by: Liаm Mar 15 2012, 11:29 AM

Great video, she's looking lush wub.gif

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D Apr 13 2012, 05:45 PM

Surprised no-one's posted the tracklisting yet!

Courtesy of HMV:

1. Good Girl
2. Blown Away
3. Two Black Cadillacs
4. See You Again
5. Do You Think About Me
6. Forever Changed
7. Nobody Ever Told You
8. One Way Ticket
9. Thank God For Hometowns
10. Good In Goodbye
11. Leave Love Alone
12. Cupid's Got A Shotgun
13. Wine After Whiskey
14. Who Are You
15. Cowboy Casanova
16. Before He Cheats
17. Last Name
18. Jesus, Take The Wheel

I believe the last four songs are UK bonus tracks.

Posted by: Liаm Apr 13 2012, 06:33 PM

They did that with the UK release of Play On, except slightly different added tracks laugh.gif

So excited, less than a month til the Queen is back w00t.gif

Which tracks did they add? The version I ordered from Play.com was just the 13 tracks...

And HMV, Play.com and Amazon all say that the album's out 18th June.

Certain editions had it, mine had Before He Cheats, Jesus Take The Wheel and Last Name (also something else iirc I'll go and check my CD), but I have seen it on sites with just the 13.

That would make sense, it's June 1st in the US and she would likely release there first.

Ah, OK. smile.gif

And yeah, I agree, it makes more sense, I'm just gutted we have to wait longer. tongue.gif On the plus side, I can buy Marina & The Diamonds' album instead. wink.gif

Posted by: gooddelta Apr 13 2012, 08:32 PM

How strange to put a couple of ancient tracks as bonus tracks, although I can hardly complain, anything to bring them to a wider audience. Although realistically, who in the UK that's going to buy Blown Away WON'T be familiar with Before He Cheats and Jesus Take The Wheel?

Posted by: Joao. Apr 13 2012, 08:37 PM

Apparently Carrie is coming to the UK... I think something is being announced next week.

Posted by: Liаm Apr 13 2012, 08:43 PM

^ OMFG w00t.gif A bit of promo would be lovely thanks Carrie biggrin.gif Or a surprise free concert in Bristol kink.gif

Posted by: Joao. Apr 13 2012, 09:32 PM

Confirmed to be coming to the UK!
@danwootton Just interviewed @carrieunderwood - one of my favourite American singers. Guess what? She's finally coming to the UK!

Posted by: Ryan741 Apr 13 2012, 09:38 PM

Does that mean Good Girl might get a proper push in the UK with TV and radio airplay? Or am I just dreaming! tongue.gif

Posted by: WillR0713 Apr 13 2012, 09:38 PM

Awwww Carrie in the UK wub.gif I'm actually gonna make an effort to try and meet her laugh.gif I've loved her since 'Jesus Take The Wheel'

Hopefully, considering she has a low profile in the UK it'd make it easier to meet her kink.gif oh who am I fooling but myself sad.gif

Posted by: Liаm Apr 14 2012, 06:57 AM

Haha same, she is my favourite singer of all time wub.gif If she was anywhere near Bristol I'd be up for stalking!

Posted by: dannjohn3 Apr 14 2012, 10:26 AM

Yay for UK Carrie! wub.gif

Isn't it time for single #2?!

Posted by: Joao. Apr 23 2012, 06:28 PM

June 21st Royal Albert Hall! I am THERE! biggrin.gif

this is a little bit exciting, and if good girl actually does anything on the charts i'll be very happy

Posted by: Joao. Apr 24 2012, 02:39 PM

Second single is 'Blown Away' and tickets for the UK show go on pre-order tomorrow and general sale starts on the 27th!

Tempted to ask for tickets for my birthday. Which is three day's after the concert lol.

Posted by: WillR0713 Apr 24 2012, 04:28 PM

1.) Jesus Take The Wheel
2.) Before He Cheats
3.) Just A Dream
4.) I Know You Won't
5.) Some Hearts

Posted by: Joao. Apr 24 2012, 09:02 PM

As far as 'I Know You Won't''s go, Kelly's cover blows the original out of the water. I love Carrie and her version of it but lord:

Posted by: WillR0713 Apr 24 2012, 09:16 PM

Fine, I shall do a top 10 too wub.gif just didn't think there were that many Carrie stans apart from Liam kink.gif

It's comps... She got me free Janet Jackson tickets.

Yeah, it's complimentary for her because she works there. You don't work there. You want to see her live. You should pay. Pretty basic logic.

I'll wait for the iTunes rip in a week's time then buy the album when it finally comes out in the UK biggrin.gif

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D Apr 25 2012, 05:33 PM

Listened to the album in full now - I absolutely ADORE it! My standouts are Thank God For Hometowns, Good Girl and Who Are You, but I loved each and every track really.

Posted by: Regina Apr 25 2012, 05:40 PM

Liam dead? I thought he'd be ALL over this.

Posted by: dannjohn3 Apr 26 2012, 10:01 AM

I love the first four songs, and the final two tracks. Everything else just falls into filler.

I'd feel really excited if I heard that song while I was out, it's weird because I like 1D, for example, more than Carrie (sorry Liam!), but I'd be more excited to hear Carrie out because she's less well known here.

Posted by: Neil Apr 27 2012, 06:03 PM



Carrie singing Good Girl with the PS22 Chorus.

Posted by: Liаm May 2 2012, 08:04 PM

Poised for a #1 debut on the Billboard 200, selling between 275k-295k, hopefully she goes slightly over and clears 300k - Carrie slaying as usual <3 Around about the same sales as Play On, only a bit less (Play On sold 318k) and Good Girl wasn't as big as Cowboy Cassanova!

SO happy for her wub.gif She is huge in America, but I was worried that she'd fall victim to the recent crap sales and open with less than half Play On's opening sales!

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D May 2 2012, 08:09 PM

Good Girl's out properly in the UK this Sunday. Not that it's gonna do anything...

I agree, i'd like to see her have some success over here, although if that happens she'll probably be considered a new artist over here. lol.

Posted by: Liаm May 4 2012, 06:57 AM

She performed Blown Away on Idol last night (tonight in the UK), it was incredible as always wub.gif Great to see her not perform Good Girl, though I love it. It's sent Blown Away top 20 on US iTunes as well!

Gah, stanning so hard *.*

Posted by: WillR0713 May 4 2012, 06:53 PM

My album rating after a few listens;

10 | Good Girl
11 | Blown Away
10 | Two Black Cadillacs
10 | See You Again
08 | Do You Think About Me
10 | Forever Changed
06 | Nobody Ever Told You
08 | One Way Ticket
04 | Thank God for Hometowns
09 | Good in Goodbye
05 | Leave Love Alone
09 | Cupid’s Got a Shotgun
08 | Wine After Whiskey
09 | Who Are You

Outstanding album heart.gif The first half of the album it utter perfection IMO. Only tracks i'm not keen on are 'Thank God For Hometowns' and 'Leave Love Alone' - most blatant fillers.

My favourite album of 2012 so far, which isn't too hard to beat considering the releases we've had so far tongue.gif

Posted by: Rossco May 8 2012, 09:19 PM

What a brillaint album. Still not as good as PLay On imo due to it having the spectacular What Can I Say but very close. Some brilliant tracks on here though:

10 | Good Girl
10 | Blown Away
10 | Two Black Cadillacs
11 | See You Again
08 | Do You Think About Me
10 | Forever Changed
06 | Nobody Ever Told You
08 | One Way Ticket
07 | Thank God for Hometowns
10 | Good in Goodbye
05 | Leave Love Alone
08 | Cupid’s Got a Shotgun
08 | Wine After Whiskey
09 | Who Are You

Fml though, it's on London (HMV Oxford Street, 20th June) and also on a school day so I couldn't go even if I could get someone to miraculously drive me... sad.gif

Posted by: Robot Reloaded Jun 8 2012, 08:28 PM

Erm, I've just seen Before He Cheats on Chart Show TV? Is this getting like... a ridiculously late release here?

Posted by: Liаm Jun 8 2012, 08:34 PM

Lolwut? That's just... weird laugh.gif THe best song of all time deserves more recognition but to release it nearly 7 years after it came out on Some Hearts (6 years after the US single release) would just be RIDICULOUS. Then again Will Young got a minor Hot 100 hit out of Leave Right Now last year in the US (although it was used as the farewell song on Idol) laugh.gif

It is on the UK edition of Blown Away (along with some of Carrie's biggest hits) as bonus tracks though, if they're playing it on Chart Show TV you never know, perhaps a years and years too late release laugh.gif Good Girl is the current single in both UK and the US (Blown Away next, video comes out soon and the preview looks amazing), it bombed in the UK but then they didn't bother really pushing it, she is promoting the album over here though.

Hyperventilated watching that the other day *.* Looks like it could be her best video, and that's saying something!

She's on Loose Women on the 20th btw biggrin.gif

Posted by: Joao. Jun 13 2012, 08:09 PM

I love that her team updated her status saying that 'Blown Away' has been chosen as the next single due to popular demand like it wasn't already planned lol.

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D Jun 13 2012, 08:36 PM

Can't make the signing - parents said no. sad.gif

Posted by: WillR0713 Jun 16 2012, 07:04 PM

4 days till the signing w00t.gif i'm so excited! I really hope I can get a picture with her sad.gif or else i'll be gutted LOL

Anyone going to her Royal Albert Hall concert by any chance ? I wanted to go but I have an exam the day after sad.gif

Posted by: Joao. Jun 16 2012, 07:24 PM

I'm going! My copy arrived in the post today too. Might end up going to the signing too depending on how the day works out for me.

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D Jun 16 2012, 07:30 PM

Why is everyone receiving their copies of this and Believe in the post before me? sad.gif laugh.gif

I can cope with this, though, cause I downloaded the album when it leaked. tongue.gif

Posted by: Ryan741 Jun 16 2012, 07:36 PM

I've finally listened to 'Blown Away' (the song). It's great, and I can't wait for the video! biggrin.gif

I can see this being the song to get Carrie to go international!

Posted by: Liаm Jun 16 2012, 07:49 PM

My copy hasn't come yet either Joesph! sad.gif

Same as you though, I downloaded it when it leaked a few days before US releae and have been hammering ever since - I just want the physical thing laugh.gif

It's already had more plays than Some Hearts and Play On for me. laugh.gif And yeah, I know! The main aspect of an album is the songs, but it never feels complete without a physical CD. tongue.gif

Posted by: WillR0713 Jun 16 2012, 10:08 PM

I'm buying my copy on Monday happy.gif didn't bother with pre-ordering it online as i'm a bit of panic-freak with deliveries, I keep thinking they'll arrive late drama.gif


Posted by: Martyn Jun 18 2012, 04:26 PM

Picked this up today as my Tesco actually stocked it shockingly. Will let u know what I think biggrin.gif

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D Jun 18 2012, 04:27 PM

My copy arrived today. biggrin.gif Will be nice to hear the album when tracks 2-14 aren't in a lower volume compared to Good Girl...

Posted by: Ryan741 Jun 19 2012, 03:08 PM

I watched her interview and her first ever UK performance (ohmy.gif) on Breakfast BBC this morning!

She comes across really well, and seems to be well-grounded and wasn't arrogant in any way despite all of her success! Also, I was surprised by how powerful her voice is live and I really love it! wub.gif

Glad to see 'Blown Away' top 20 on iTunes albums!

Posted by: Joseph_MJF_1D Jun 19 2012, 03:44 PM

Just watched it now - she came across really well I thought! She also looked stunning. wub.gif And of course, that performance was amazing! Really hope all this promotion pays off.

Posted by: Joao. Jun 20 2012, 08:11 PM

She is actually perfect. I was shaking when I met her, she's so pretty. Words can't describe.

Jealous is an understatement.

Oh, and she looks beautiful there. wub.gif

Posted by: Joao. Jun 20 2012, 08:21 PM

I was so awkward I didn't know what to say to her. So instead I shouted 'I'M SO EXCITED FOR TOMORROW' at her. I don't think she knew how to deal with me.

Posted by: dannjohn3 Jun 20 2012, 09:51 PM

I was there as well! We spoke about "I Know You Won't". She seemed really giddy! smile.gif


Posted by: Jonjoria Jun 21 2012, 12:43 AM

She's beautiful! ohmy.gif I never thought much of her and thought she was pretty average. (Nice looking but average, girl next door sort of attractive) but she seems pretty stunning!

Posted by: dragon nest gold Jun 21 2012, 01:34 AM

I am a rather big fan of Carrie, so exciting to be here.

Posted by: dannjohn3 Jun 22 2012, 09:54 AM

Just noticed the setlist for the show... I couldn't attend sadly. I'm raging. f***ING WORK!

But everyone is coming out the woodwork as a Carrie fan!

Posted by: Joao. Jun 22 2012, 10:33 AM

It was a brilliant night. She is flawless vocally. I was standing throughout the set but she deserved the standing ovation at the end of How Great Thou Art. She also covered Coldplay's 'Fix You' and in my head her and Kelly were duetting.

Posted by: dannjohn3 Jun 22 2012, 10:40 AM

I heard she mentioned me though, before she performed "I Know You Won't"???

Posted by: Joao. Jun 22 2012, 10:51 AM

I can't recall it. I Know You Won't was during the encore. There was an intro, then she sang that and led into Blown Away and thanked everyone before she left. She did mention a fan before a song but I believe it was for Quitter.

Posted by: Ryan741 Jun 22 2012, 03:08 PM

When I went into Asda today, I saw on the new releases shelf at the entrance of the shop contained many Cheryl and Carrie albums! I couldn't resist so I have now bought Blown Away. I am SO glad I did, it's an amazing album! wub.gif It's so great, my early favourites are Good Girl, Blown Away, See You Again, Forever Changed and Who Are You. I love it though! wub.gif

I'm going to check out her older albums too, I have a feeling I'm going to love them too!

Also, in case anyone is unaware, Who Are You is a free download on Amazon at the moment!

Video of the year. LOVE the Wizard Of Oz themes and how real the hurricane looks!

Posted by: Ryan741 Jul 31 2012, 03:08 PM

Ooh, I love it!! wub.gif I love how dramatic it feels and it really suits the song!

I really hope a Carrie single will finally be pushed in the UK after the success of the album here! It has the potential to do really well I think, radio would eat this up!

Posted by: Karma Jul 31 2012, 04:52 PM

I don't really follow her music but ohmyyy is she beautiful! wub.gif Big voice too!

Posted by: Gerald1990 Aug 1 2012, 12:21 AM

she never normally has the best videos, but this is stunning! :-)

Posted by: Ryan741 Aug 1 2012, 08:50 PM

The video above has now been removed, but here is the video in HD on Carrie's VEVO page! cheer.gif


Posted by: Silas Aug 2 2012, 09:43 AM

The video is incredible! So so so good. Really works well with the song too.

Radio 2 playlisted it, and so the playedit a bit! I think that airplay was a big factor in the album doing well. Blown Away has also already made the top 200 off of downloads on album release week, which shows there's interest. I really think if other radio stations and TV stations latch onto it as I pray they will, this could be a big crossover hit! It's her most pop single yet and is incredible, looning aside it'd be great to see it do so well!

Posted by: Ryan741 Aug 3 2012, 10:51 PM

It's great that it managed to chart top 200 purely on a bit of radio 2 airplay and a BBC Breakfast performance! Like you say, there is definitely interest in her if only she could be brought to the attention of a wider audience!

I don't know what the UK "release" date for the song is, but does Simon Cowell still have anything to do with her? Maybe she could appear on the X Factor, but I'm sure that's just a dream!

We just need Radio 1 to playlist it, which I guess there is a chance! Then if Capital take a lead from the BBC, plus TV channels choose to play the video - I can see it doing very well! If only that would all happen! laugh.gif

Like you say, this song is definitely the song that they need to push here as it is the track with the most crossover she's ever had and this is the chance to get Carrie into the chart here! I think the UK is classed as the 2nd or 3rd most important music market, so I'm sure her label will give it a go seeing as they did make an effort for the album release with a bit of UK promo!
