For context, this is a friend of Eric Olson. She seems legitimate. Another source, the infamous jeff1317 on Twitter, a very reputable source for inside information, said it's not a ballad and is "pretty uptempo" but he personally wasn't a fan of it. I dunno if he likes Kelly or not, so his taste is questionable.

Yeah, I don't know how to take this, though given she knows Eric, I don't doubt she's heard it. But Breakaway and SUBG...they have different messages, are sung differently, and sound different (though are both pop/rock). Maybe she means a return to that level of success? #reaching Anyway, especially don't know what to think if she didn't like Stronger. That was moving in a direction I loved for Kelly--adding a bit more of a rhythmic flavor to her stuff.

Get Up won't make the album, might as well put Go in there... that won't happen.

There are no words to describe how excited I am to hear her cover. Dying.

She was fantastic, obviously, although I expected something much more dramatic.

This is her second Carrie cover that she just won't allow for comparisons haha. I love her raw, stripped interpretation, but so much of the original is about the whole song--the vocals, the production, the instrumentation, you feel a tornado hitting during the actual song. This didn't have that kind of power to it, but I love how raw and dark she let her voice get. That aspect of the song (its darkness; "raw" is one word you can't really use to describe the original) was fully captured.

Love Kelly's interpretation of "Blown Away", a song that I normally can't stand.

I agree that she was smart to make the Carrie song her own again to limit the comparisons (although we all know they will inevitably come!). Kelly vocally KILLED this. What always impresses me the most about her covers are that they are learned so quickly, yet she sounds like she's been singing it for years. Kelly, you never cease to amaze me!

Her vocals - ON POINT. The production - not exactly what I wanted from that cover. I still greatly enjoyed it.

I think if she were going to rearrange Blown Away, I think it leads itself really well to this (especially her doing it):
Making it this really raucous rock version, and then stripping it all down like she did there, but only for the last minute or so. Then it's like the big ol storm and the aftermath. As is, it's all a little too mellow.

I agree, that some songs Kelly just shouldn't change and or do ..with the exception of the last few seconds BA for me, was a let down..., while I liked her rendition of IKYW, she still kind of neutralizes those aspects of the song that make the song stand out, special ie. the robust power notes and their sustainment, which are a feature in many of Underwood's songs. Sometimes changing up the arrangement/production of a song works, and sometimes it doesn't, in this case in particular it didn't for me.

Yep I agree, however regardless she was amazing! You can't deny that! Pff production is just a small meh in the large scale that is her amazing covers! :)

Sometimes changing up the arrangement/production of a song works, and sometimes it doesn't. I agree. With that in mind, I think Kelly's interpretation of 'I Know You Won't' is clearly superior, and her version of 'Blown Away' clearly isn't. There's the difference for me, anyway.

I LOVE 'Blown Away', but Carrie's version >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kelly's version on so many levels. First, I do not like Kelly's emo vocals on this song, nor did I enjoy the laid-back production on such a dramatic song with vividly dark lyrics. I agree with Jack though about 'Won't'.

I just think the production and instrumentation/orchestration is what makes Blown Away so incredible. Carrie's vocals are important and great but that isn't a song that showcases vocals, no matter how great they are. It is a decent cover but no way can you compete with the original without going ALL OUT.

Yeah, its a given that Kelly sounded amazing (especially that last minute) but I feel like this song really needs the original arrangement to get the full effect. Stripping it down like that just kinda took away from the song IMO.

Actually I have heard it stripped down and it still was pretty impressive. The arrangemet certainly enhances the song but the vocals are still centre stage. Carrie has performed this song stripped down and it was very effective because of the vocals. Sometimes the glory notes define the song..and for many of Underwood's songs have this 'signature' quality that become 'inherent' in the song. Whitney Houston had similar songs. When she took Dolly's 'I Will Always Love You' and powered the chorus with her marvelous voice, it sent chills up my spine. Dolly's stripped down version was a hit too, but Whitney's version went through the stratosphere...and when others cover this song it's Whitney's version they cover and when those power notes aren't there or inadequate it always seems to fall short. Carrie's songs are of the same ilk..at her concerts it's the glory notes that cause the cheers and applause....and the thing people come to hear .
