HGTA On The Voice

[cary78663]

Holly Tucker on Blake's team is doing HGTA. You know she wouldn't be doing it if Carrie hadn't done it. She did good but not close to Carrie's version.

 

[desubear]

i seriously dobut there is a single person on this planet who could sing HGTA better than carrie.

 

[TOPDOG1001]

Yeah what was Blake thinking giving her that song? Just pales in comparison.

 

[thunder92]

Blake is such a Carrie fan, lol

YES, Not even the late Elvis Presley who won a Grammy for the Album titled "How Great Thou Art" !

no one can sing HGTA better than Carrie!!

 

[teesharky]

cary-- did Blake mention Carrie's version? haha

No one mentioned Carrie's version, which isn't surprising as they don't really want that comparison.

 

[opry051008]

I think she did good. It really isn't fair to compare her to Carrie on that song.

 

[Marie2011]

Hoping that the performance helps Carrie version to go gold.

^^^HGTA (Carrie's version) is moving up rapidly on the iTunes chart, from ~#1400 to #658.

 

[cary78663]

Holly's HGTA is already up to #66. However Danielle Bradery's Heads Carolina Tails California is the top Voice track at #30

Hmm Blake really is modeling his contestants after Carrie's career in regards to song choice.

I thought she was good, but would have liked a Carrie shout out since it was essentially Carries version (very similar at the end).

 

[hjj]

i did not really care for Danile performance tonight.

 

[parthena]

NO one can sing How Great Thou Art like Carrie-I can listen to it over and over and still I get chills !!!!!

 

[gwade82]

I thought she was great. I am becoming a big fan. I really hope she wins and seeks out Carrie for advice on the industry.

Goes to show what a big mark Carrie has left in the country/music industry since Idol.

Besides her own songs, talent show contestants are always picking the songs popularized by Carrie - Alone, Independence Day, Sin Wagon, HGTA, Cryin', I'll Stand by You etc. How many versions of Alone have we heard already, just on Idol alone? lol

And there have been so many country contestants in every single talent show.

 

[maddkat]

it was good, but I'd didn't care for it,too many embellishments for me

 

[pklongbeach]

Good stuff.
Pitch went alittle cookcoo.

That was absolutely "the carrie version". I have heard, played and sung that song a million times a million ways, and that was definately "the carrie version".

Which is alittle tricky for someone like me who has heard Carrie do it about a million times now.

It was good. But on a big belter song like that, and in a competition like that, you want it to feel effortless, and there was struggling going on there. So it was a little too big for this stage.

But I will admit, as Blake continues to push his females in a "carrie direction" I like him more and more. (isn't that terrible?)

But yes, I definately feel him looking for the next "mainstream county female solo artist" and if you are looking to taylor someone to that effect, you would most definately use the "Carrie Image".

Smart guy!!
