Is that for real? It looks legit...
Carrie did say a short time ago that she was deterred from it, but it's possible the label convinced her to do it?

Is this real? Carrie actually gets a twitter account? Even if she does, i bet she will tweet rarely. She is kinda private

I think it will be used just for promotion. She is not the type of person to tweet any personal stuff

Even if she doesn't tweet much it's good for her team to have one. I'm surprised it took them so long.

I don't see her using it herself very often because I think she'll use the FC for most of her personal stuff. But as far as promotions and what not it's been silly to not have one this long.

^Similar to her Facebook page, usually they just post new videos and announcements there. It's never actually Carrie talking to her fans about random stuff. It's a great tool for promotion and stuff. It'll also be much easier to trend topics related to Carrie!

I've had GG on repeat now for the better part of my morning. I love the instrumentation, the lyrics, the tempo, the driving back beat and most of all the spectacular vocals. It always amazes me how strong Carrie's vocals are even when she climbs to a higher register, a feat many other female 'powerhouses' fail to do. Actually there's only one other artist that I would put in the same category and that's Celine Dion. Is the single more rock than country? For me, yes it is, it's alot of rock with a subtle country influence....and Carrie does rock like no other. There will be some criticism because of this but there are so many other artists in country today who deliver, country-rap, country-rock, country-pop and even country-reggae. It seems that country music has become very eclectic. I say the more the merrier. The only problem I have with the criticism is that it seems to be selective. Some artists are crucified for it and some are rewarded. As for GG, I couldn't be happier. As one critic said 'anyone else singing this song would have made it a 'good' song...Carrie singing this song raises it to a completely different level. Then he gave it 4.5 stars out of 5. The grade, to me, seems very appropriate.

Wow, this can probably be her first #1 on iTunes. I can't remember if her cover of "I'll Stand By You" reached #1.

How is it that someone gets 15k followers within the first hour of joining Twitter without making too much noise about it?!?! Loved to see Carrie is there... even though her team will probably do most of the tweeting, hope she does a few herself too, to make casual, non-FC fans more engaged!!

Glad Carrie finally got a twitter! Not only will is it great promo but it will be easier to find out what she's up too (in music) as well as trending.

It's # 2 now. I don't know how close to peaking it is, but I would like to see it get to #1 if not for just a few minutes.

Yes, finally #2. I hope it can get to #1, which unfortunately, "Cowboy Casanova" never did. :(

Single Review: Carrie Underwood, “Good Girl”Usually with country records, you know what to expect after the first twenty seconds.
“Good Girl” toys brilliantly with those expectations.
It starts off as a typical Carrie “attitude” song, but even in the opening section, something’s different. Her voice is raw and gritty, lacking the typical polish that made earlier songs in this vein sound a bit forced. It leads into a fairly typical country chorus, and as that’s coming to an end, you’re ready for the second verse.
But it doesn’t come just yet. Instead, the hand claps stop, the band slows down, and she lets the melody hang, repeating “go” and “he’s low” in a hypnotizing, almost soothing way. Just as you’re being lulled into submission, the record snaps back to life, as she rattles off the reasons a good girl wants to believe in that no-good man.
Familiarity sets in, and as the chorus runs into the bridge, I was reveling in that “go”/”he’s low” construct the second time around, until the rug was pulled out from me again. Instead of completing the bridge this time, a blistering guitar solo tears through, leading up to a ferocious rock vocal that would make Janis proud.
As the song reaches its climax, I braced for the inevitable. A song that builds up this much energy always ends up crossing the line, ending with a loud and cluttered bang. Once again, she zags. Instead of escalating, the band drops out entirely, and the final ten seconds of the song is just Carrie – no backup singers, no band, not even a hand clap. It actually ends with ten seconds of unadorned a cappella.
In three-and-a-half minutes, Underwood surprised me more than any country recording since “Giddy On Up”, and without any of the accompanying camp. I’ve always been a fan of hers, because Glory to God in the Highest That Voice, but I never suspected that she’d be this relentlessly creative.
An absolutely exhilarating record

Jim Malec would've stabbed the shit out of this song.
