I am going to buy Carrie Underwood new album..i heard her sing tonight at the Superbowl and just thought she was great. anyone else in?
here where her reviews
Reviews were good:
USA Today:
"Moments later, with the color guard closely behind her on a makeshift stage at midfield, Underwood belted out a stunning rendition of the national anthem. Seconds after finishing the final note, Underwood looked toward the sky with a big smile as four F-15s flew over the stadium before peeling away on full afterburner, rattling the seats at Sun Life Stadium.
MTV;
Carrie Underwood excels no matter what the context. Fresh off her headline-grabbing contribution to the Michael Jackson tribute at this year’s Grammy Awards (where she adroitly weaved her way through Jackson’s "Earth Song"), Underwood took the microphone in front of a sold-out Sun Life Stadium in Miami to deliver a killer rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before the kickoff to Super Bowl XLIV.
EW:
You want your National Anthem sung right? You call an American Idol alum. At least that seems to be the consistent (and, to be honest, correct) message brought to you by the good folks of the NFL. Last year’s Super Bowl found Jennifer Hudson singing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” while this year’s NFC and AFC conference championship games brought Kris Allen and Jordin Sparks to the mic to get in touch with their inner patriots (national, not New England). And for tonight’s all-eyes-are-locked-on-it game, we got Idol’s season 4 champ and ubiquitous country queen Carrie Underwood offering her own (not-surprisingly) exquisite twist on the National Anthem.
Daily Contributor:
Carrie Underwood’s version of the “The Star-Spangled Banner” during the pregame show prior to Super Bowl 2010 is one of the best renditions I’ve heard at a sporting event.
Dressed in a stunning white pantsuit and top, the 26-year-old American Idol Season 4 winner stepped up to the microphone without a hint of anxiety and delivered the goods under pressure. However, Carrie admitted that she was having the jitters singing in the biggest stage in American sports

For the last couple of Superbowls, there have been a number of artists who performed the "Star Spangled Banner" horribly. When Underwood performed it tonight, I was proud that an actual good vocalist was chosen to sing it at the Superbowl for once!
Seriously–Underwood certainly is a great vocalist and much better than many other modern female vocalists. I still wouldn’t consider her country (except for when she’s covering a classic country tune) because her music is far more pop than anything, but she is a damn good vocalist!

Just doesn’t get any better than Carrie. Beautiful girl, beautiful outfit, beautiful voice, beautiful heart, beautiful attitude, what could possibly be better! Young girls should aspire to carry themselves like Carrie in life!

I absolutely love Carrie Underwood and I was so excited when I found out she was singing our anthem at the Super Bowl tonight!!! I think she did great and so did my entire family… I do however wish she’d done her falsetto on the "land of the free" part like she usually does… I think her best performance of the anthem was a toss up between a previous nfl performance and the world series performance she gave…

tonights wasn’t as "flowy" as the two above but it was still great!!! I know some people are still going to hate and talk smack because everyone is so used to Carrie being flawless but she still did great tonight and maybe the nerves got to her… I also felt bad for Queen Latifah cause her earpiece wasn’t working so she couldn’t hear herself… that sucks!!! Also for the carrie haters… if you really wanna talk smack about someone and how horrible their anthem really was this here below is for you… knock yourselves out!!!

I thought she was close to screaming a couple of times,but yeah it was pretty good.Far better than many others I heard sing it at the Super Bowl.
Maybe it would of been better if they made it a duet with Taylor Swift. (sarcasm)
