Visually stunning. I hate to say things like this so soon but it may be my favorite video of hers, though I confess that it doesn't have a lot of competition (particularly given then early commitment to Roman White).

Screenshot from toward the end, in case someone wants it: www.voiceradio.us/attachments/carrie-underwood-good-girl-video-png.119/ It's way too big to put here or I'd just insert it with an IMG tag; I already had it to put on my site's FB/Pinterest pages, so I figure I'll share it here too.
With hints here and there, be it through the dresses or through the flowers (which are a constant fixture in three of her album covers), Carrie is also passing on a subtle meaning that she is moving on to a different direction: the character pulls off the petals from the daisy that was present on the cover of both Play On and her first album Some Hearts.
The video doesn’t feature a storyline — it’s really just a collection of Underwood in various fashions strutting her stuff and flaunting her stunning looks. At times, Underwood channels her inner good girl: we see bespectacled hipster Carrie, fringey-sweet Carrie, and sunlit floral Carrie, but during the rest of the video, she reveals an edgier side that matches the grit of the song: we get funeral glam Carrie, shimmery 80s Carrie, and hot pants authoritarian Carrie. Occasionally, her two sides even sing/debate at each other, suggesting that the titular “good girl” getting warned about a lying, no-good man might just be Underwood herself.
"'Vision Of Love', when I first heard that song, I knew it, my mind was made up, I had to be a singer." - Beyonce "When I discovered Mariah Carey and 'Vision of Love,' that was a breath of fresh air. And I adored her from that moment on and idolized her." - Christina Aguilera "I think ['Vision Of Love'] was a vision of the future world of American Idol." - Rich Juzwiak, Slant

Sounds interesting...
So, any news about this??
Supposedly it was just Carrie talking about the album and she said nothing new (darker, biggest of ballads, countriest of country, all over the place , naughty, etc.).
I as well think the video is pretty great. It's something different for Carrie and she looks better than ever. Very artistic and Carrie has never looked more comfortable.
GG sold 66k this week, bringing its total up to 293k. It's at #19 on the Hot Digital Tracks chart. She's still #1 on the Country Digital Songs Chart, I believe.
Music video is steady at #3 on the iTunes all-genre chart, and the song itself is at #15 on the iTunes all-genre songs chart. Great movements! ETA: Not only that, but judging by Kworb's popularity bars, GG should take over the #14 spot and jump over Drake/Rihanna within a couple of hours. GG's creeping up on its sales percentage and has closed in on less than 1%.
I like the music video, however I wish it stayed on a scene for more than half a second. It changes around a little too much in my opinion (and it hurt my eyes..). Still one of her stronger videos. And she looks f**king hot in it. In my opinion, "Good Girl" is her best song.

The Single Up to #14 itunes ALL GENRE, #1 Country. Rascall Flatts is catching up fast. It's #15 all genre and #2 country and it has potential to pass GG anytime soon.
GG has 108 spins on HAC and one Top 40 station has already started to spin it. Perhaps the label should give it an adds date on HAC as soon as it cracks the top 50? It doesn't hurt to chart on country and HAC simultaneously, right?

KEEP BUYING
The RF song is an iTunes countdown single...they're releasing one track per week until their album comes out April 3. I guess it could pass "Good Girl", but it'd be very brief. "Changed" will begin to drop next week when the next countdown single comes out, whereas "Good Girl" will probably stay fairly steady, maybe climbing a bit yet, as its airplay continues to build.

Apropos of the discussion here about Carrie having cut a Lori McKenna song, this Boston Globe article reveals that the title is "Nobody Knows."
Carrie Underwood
Underwood cut a song McKenna co-wrote called “Nobody Knows,” though she has not yet released it on an album.
It's a song cowritten by Barry Dean (who cowrote "Crazy Dreams" with Troy Verges & Carrie), Lori McKenna, and Felix McTeigue. From the BMI number it looks like it was registered around when Play On cowrites were being registered. That is not necessarily indicative of when Carrie recorded it, but it may be.
In any event, McTeigue has McKenna's demo of the song up at Soundcloud. He includes "Hill" parenthetically, which makes me wonder if Faith Hill may have looked at the song. I quite like the song, and would love to hear Carrie's interpretation of it. It's a different type of story and lyric than we've heard from her, but the melody and sensibility of the song would suit her very well.
On another note, I've seen some discussion here and there about possible Oz references in the Blown Away cover art. If this is more than a visual theme inspired by the title track, wouldn't it be something if "Take Me to the City" were to make the album and the song were inspired by (or contained some reference to) the journey to the Emerald City?
