some points from the review:

One of the problems that has plagued Underwood's post-"Idol" performing career is her lack of personality onstage. This was my third time seeing her, first as a headliner, and it seems that the charming young woman who had emerged on her 2006 tour with Kenny Chesney has been lost in the din of oversized video screens, catwalks, costume changes, routine audience patter, an unevenly paced set and a woman who seems more concerned with hitting her marks than hitting people where it counts - in the heart.

I've said repeatedly that watching Carrie "perform" is like watching a choreographed routine... walk 10 paces, turn, wave arms, walk back, flip hair, repeat. She's a fucking robot and while she's been programmed with some new material she's still just as stiff as she ever was.

A perfect example of that was her performance of the lovely tearjerker "Just a Dream," one of the most poignant songs on "Carnival Ride." It's about a young woman, just 18, whose boyfriend has died in battle. It's a song that, if her vocal had been audible over the band's wall of sound, might have resonated with an audience in an Army town, especially since venue management said about 600 Iraq veterans had been given seats to the show.

She never acknowledged it or dedicated the song to those special guests. Maybe she didn't know they were there. Maybe she did and just couldn't or wouldn't depart from the script. It was an opportunity squandered, though she did manage to mention her impending induction into the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday.

wow, way to be a shallow, egotistical bitch Carrie there is no way in hell she didn't know 600 veterans were in the audience. The management has to release those tickets for a give away of that size!

as for the Taylor bullshit... I listen to her CD almost daily (my daughter is a HUGE fan) and I've seen her live performances on television and personally I don't think her voice sounds that different... even on the CD her voice isn't perfect but at least she connects to her music and you can feel her emotion when she's singing and you know she's not just doing what she's told...

it's really too bad the Wreckers already had a record named Stand Still and Look Pretty cuz that would've been perfect for Carrie... it's really all she knows how to do..

Once again you spew what you know little of, you have not seen Carrie live so you honestly have no opinion on the matter that would mean much of anything to anyone, except maybe your fellow shit for brains know nothings. I see by your post that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, seems lack of taste runs in the family. All I see when I see Taylor is a little girl who so desperatley needs attention and accolades that she has to let everyone everywhere know what she has accomplished and at such a young age, Yadda Yadda Yadda. People will get sick of her self promoting and lack of humility. Furthermore I doubt that there were 600 tickets given to soldiers for that show, had there been Carrie would have certainly acknowledged them. I think this guy just has some kind of bug up his ass as far as Carrie is concerned, it seems there are a few of the male reviewers who seem to have a problem with Carrie, my guess is she is getting the wrath of their miserable youths where the pretty girl ignored them because they were geeks or whatever and Carrie is catching their misdirected wrath. lol
