Review:
Carrie Underwood was a normal, ordinary person until she went on American Idol. Through all her hard work and dedication, she sung herself to victory and earned a title which is coveted by many: American Idol. She's got a smooth voice which is perfect for singing the rollicking country songs that she's got on her new album, Carnival Ride. Carnival Ride is her second CD, and she's getting better every time.
Carrie Underwood has a few songs on her album describing her relationships with boys like "Last Name" and "The More Boys I Meet". In Last Name, Carrie's got a more sassy attitude as she describes a (made up) story about her getting drunk at a bar, then marrying a man that she didn't know. The song is called Last Name because she didn't "even know his last name." Personally, I love this songs beat, tune, and vocals, but I wish it had different lyrics. That's the same with a lot of her songs.
Carrie hits a sadder note with the song "Just a Dream". A bit depressing, Just a Dream describes a soon-to-be army wife's feelings when she arrives at a wedding and realizes that instead of the happy occasion and atmosphere she was expecting at the church, was actually a funeral for her fiance who had died in combat. There's nothing terribly wrong lyrically about this song, so I'd say it would be a good buy on iTunes.
Really, all I'm trying to say is that if you want a clean, country Carrie Underwood, shop carefully. She's got some better and some worse lyrics out there.
Best songs: "Jesus Take the Wheel", "All-American Girl", "So Small", "Last Name", "The More Boys I Meet", "Wasted", "Before He Cheats", and "I Ain't in Checota Anymore".
