Carrie Underwood - Independence Day Lyrics

Carrie Is 35 years old and she can Still belt out these notes carrie is a great singer

Them vocals!!😍😍 Damn!!

shes amazing.

Amazing....

Carrie has a longer career.. I can imagine her at 40s still belting out her hits like So Small, Jesus Take The Wheel, Temporary Home, and some of her naughty songs like Before He Cheats and Last Name, because she has this golden voice that will last longer, if not forever, and her songs are for all seasons.. Taylor, however, won't last that longer.. Why? I can't imagine a 30 something woman singing about Fairy Tales and shitty breakup songs..

just wow.

pause at 0:00 lol

crossbones650 😂

she is so amazing n i love country music because of her! Much love from Malaysia to Carrie's fans outhre

Sama la bang...

@harvardjrnl this has to be the dumbest comment I've seen in the past week on YouTube. Feel stupid. You deserve it.

this song needs to be longer :)

No her performance does;)

@1bulma1 you cant really compare them b/c carrie is much older than taylor is. and they sing differently

@SidJustice22 I know what the song's about. I was saying this song has BEEN USED to spread the war propoganda. Learn to read English before spewing profanities.

@Sistarovat You're a fucking idiot. The song is about domestic abuse. Learn before you preach.

This song probably moreso than any other has been responsible for spreading the war propaganda that got our nation bogged down in the most useless, undeclared war since Vietnam.

Great cover. I hear this song at least a couple of times each weekday listening to the Sean Hannity Show.

Dang people, take your conversation somewhere else... Geez!!! :\

@Misstaylor441 OKAY

Taylor is great....there is no doubt about that

however carrie is allround the better artist

@1bulma1 ok and i hate twilight btw! I love HP...i just needed to clear that up! and this conversation and fight is getting us no where. Yo u like Carrie which is ok cause she is great and i like Taylor and in my opinion shes great to. You do not have to agree and im fine with that. all i am asking is for you to respect my opinion and i will do the same for you. You know good music and i compliment you for that. Just respect my opionon and i will respect yours. Lets end it on that

@Misstaylor441 BUT ITS THE TRUTH.............

TAYLOR CANNOT SING

Carrie is not only compared to king elvis but also QUEEN CELINE DION.

THEY SANG TOGETHER ON STAGE AND CARRIE MORE THAN HELD HER OWN.

TAYLOR ON THAT SAME STAGE SANG WITH STEVIE NICKS,who isnt that much of a good singer as celine dion and TAYLOR WAS SO AWFUL.

EVEN KELLY CLARKSON SLAMED TAYLOR HORRIFIC VOICE .

and Pls dont start a taylor vs kelly debate

B-CUZ THAT WILL BE PURE BULLSHIT

@Misstaylor441 B UT ITS THE TRUTH.............


TAYKOR CANNOT SING

Caeeie is not only compared to king elvis but also CELINE DION.

THEY SANG TOGETHER IN STAGE AND CARRIE HELD HER OWN.

TAYLOR ON THAT SAME STAGE SANG WITH STEVIE NICKS,who isnt that much of a good singer as celine dion and TAYLOR WAS SO AWFUL.

EVEN KELLY CLARKSON SLAMED TAYLOR HORRFIC VOICE .

and ols dnt start a taylor vs carrie debate

THAT WILL BE BULLSHIT

@Misstaylor44 BOTTOMLINE IS TAYLOR CANNOT SING.........



CARRIE CAN

WHICH WILL ALWAYS MAKE CARRIE THE WINNER AND THE SUPERIOR OF THE TWO

The only people who think taylor is better than carrie is SHALLOW TEEN GIRLS

NO GUY OR MUSIC CRITIC WOULD EVER SAY THAT.

Taylor reaches a large audience of teen girl.

EVERYONE IN THE UNIVERSE COMPLIMENT CARRIE'S AMAZING VOICE.

@1bulma1 Taylor puts out an album every 2 years? Thats not alot. How do you know shell never achieve that. And give me a break she cant sing! ANd ill agree with you on brittnay..she sucks but! she isnt fading

@1bulma1 Winnignawards does matter because that means people are paying attention to you. People know taylor in many different parts of the world not just English speaking countrys. k? Taylor has released an album.? Taylor is pretty with/without make up...Taylor is way pretty then Taylor

@Misstaylor441 carrie is not FADING ....PLS ARE YOU KIDDING

Carrie jut takes time and doesnt rush to put put anything.I

TS ABOUT THE QUALITY NOT QUANTITY.

Carrie deoesnt need to put out an album every month to show her TALENT

HAHAHAHAHA

AND YES carrie was compared to KING ELVIS

THAT IS A REAL COMPLIMENT,Somthing taylor will never never achieved because SHE CANT SING.

BRIT IS FAMOUS FOR BEEN A CLEBRITY....SHE IS NO LONGER CONSIDER TO HAVE ATRISTY MERIT

@Misstaylor441 Pls can you srtop denying it

carrie is prettier than taylor. an pls awards doesnt mean much.WINING AMERICAN IDOL MATTERS MORE THAN AWARDS.

Pls stop ming me laugh,

I live in UK AND I KNOW CARRIE,All my friends in audtralia were going to see in sdyney.

I didnt say taylor is not pretty,BUT PLS CARRIE IS PRETTIER BY FAR

CARRIE DOESNT EVEN WHERE MUCH MAKE UP

Carrie hasnt released album in 2 yrs....Taylor has

@1bulma1 How do you know she will have a longer career? Carrie is already fading. i only hear her songs maybe every couple weeks if that. i always see taylor nominated, & winning way more awards then carrie. Taylor keeps popping out hits and #1 albums. Carrie is just nominated as a country artists. taylor is nominated for sooo much more. So what if carrie is compared to Elvis? Taylor is 21, lets see what happens in a couple years.(FYI Brittnay Spears just came out with a hit, she isnt fading)

@1bulma1 Taylor didnt work hard for it? Carrie is not more beautiful. And Taylor is way more likable. America chose to buy Taylors albums, give her many awards, and chose to sell out her concerts in less then 2 minutes. Taylor is adored y many people. And trust me more people dont even know who Carrie is. They just know he as a country singer. Because all the fans Carrie reaches are COUNTRY fans not many other people. taylor is beautiful and talented and you cannot take that away from her

@Misstaylor441 carrie will have a longer carrer because she has THE RAW TALENT,She is on her way to been a music legend.

she stood toe to toe with the great CELINE DION at the Grammy's stage

wanna talk stage presence?

LOL

TAYLOR WILL FADE AWY LIKE BRITNEY SPEARS


WANNA KNOW WHY?

Because teen girls like yourself will grow up and move on to other things

CARRIE WILL BE AN ICON BY THEN..SHE IS ALREADY IS


who gets compared to the KING ELVIS?

CARIE UNDERWOOD.

@1bulma1 Taylor just got done touring in Japan? Carrie is NEVER on main stream radio, taylor is played every hour.American Idol??? That show prooves nothing.Taylor has a bigger audience because of main steam! do you EVER see carrie playing at the VMAs or MTV Music Video Awards? No and Carrie doesnt even win those awards. aylor has won Both of those awards & many others. Taylor reaches a mature audience too.Many adults like taylor. And Taylors album sold 1 million in week Better then carrie.

@Misstaylor441 this argument is useless...CARRIE IS WAY MORE TALENTED,WAY MORE BEAUTIFUL,WAY MORE LIKABLE

As I pointed out eariler AMERICA CHOSE HER TO BE A SUPERSTAR...SHE WORK HARD FOR IT

The simple fact that taylor cant eVen reach hollywood week on america idol show her small talent

look on every public polls ....carrie is always ranked higher than taylor

she is adored by everyone,,boys,girls,men,women,young ,old, (ALL LOVE CARRIE UNDERWWOD)

taylor is adored by teengirls ONLY.

@Misstaylor441her songs are not better than carrie pls stop making me laugh,carrie has had many top 40 hits,13 no 1 singles & carrie won american idol WHICH MAKES HER MORE RELATABLE THAN TAYLOR.AMERICA CHOSE CARRIE TO BE A SUPERSTAR,

carrie tours has grossed 66 million dollars and counting,carrie is now touring overseas,carrie reaches a way more better,mature and sane audience,may I remind that no taylor album has outsold carrie some hearts ,

pls stop kidding around

CARRIE IS SUPERIOR

@1bulma1 1. Her songs are way better then carries
2. she wrote her entire album
3. Her album sales are through the roof
4. Her stage presense is amazing
5. her concerts are fun and she is pretty good live
6. She is relatable
7. She has had 2 number one albums
8. She is huge with main stream music
9. She reaches a bigger audience then carrie does
10. Her tours sell out in less then 2 minutes
11. She has had many top 40 hits
I cant keep going but ill stop at 11

@Misstaylor441 how is taylor stronger?????

Name one way

is it in singing solo live?

Playing instruments?

Sharing the stage with a music legend or icon?

singing with a competitor?

writing lyrics?

not sounding at of tune all the time?

stage presence?

am sorry but taylor is outclass,,,CARRIE BEATS HER IN EVERY WAY

@1bulma1 But she isnt a better artist all around...she is stronger in some parts then taylor like live performances but taylor is stronger then carrie in other ways to

@Misstaylor441
I know you love taylor and you can say your prefer her to carrie,

However saying taylor is factually better as an all round artist is just PLAIN RIDCULOUS.

Take it from an adult who was once a teenager like your self.

@Misstaylor441
Sorry but taylor does not have better stage presence, when carrie sings she puts emotion in her voice, she gets standing ovations and she MAKES PEOPLE CRY and get cheers by music legends.
SHE MAKES PEOPLE CRY....
Taylor has no stage presence DID YOU SEE THE DIRTY LOOK STEVIE NICKS WAS GIVEN HER AT THE GRAMMIES WHEN THEY WERE SINING TOGETHER AND HER VOICE WAS SO AWFUL,

After taylor finished singing only her mum got up to clap.

@Misstaylor441
Am sorry but I think you are becoming deluded, DID YOU Genuinely THINK TAYLOR HAS A BETTER STAGE PRESENCE?

LMAO...

Carrie won American idol, she was standing on the biggest competition stage in the world and every week she drew cheers from the whole country after she left the stage and Carrie was still an armature.

People with crappy stage presence and crappy voice can’t win American idol.

@Misstaylor441
YOU ARE PROBABLY ALSO ONE OF HOSE TWEEN GIRL THAT SAY TWILIGHT IS BETTER THAN HARRY POTTER RIGHT?


I KNOW YOUR A TAYLOR FAN AND YOUR A TEENAGER BUT PLS stop say Taylor is better than carrie underwood,it is a silly comment .

taylor songs are all auto tuned .CARRIE SINGS LIVER BETTER THAN SHE DOES ON HER ALBUM

Taylor is horrendous when you compare her voice live to her album

@Misstaylor441 NO TAYLOR IS NOT A BETER SONGWRITER; this is based on opinion there is no prove of that

so small ,temporary home and mama song were written by carrie underwood.and they are just as good,mature & if not better than any Taylor lyrics.

you cant necessary compare lyrics and say which is better.

but you can compare singing & vocal ability and TAYLOR IS INFERIOR TO CARRIE

CARRIE 'S VOICE CAN OVERSHADDOW AND KILL TAYLOR’S VOICE

TAYLOR CAN’T SING.

ONCE AGAIN AM SORRY

@1bulma1 Taylor is a way better songwriter then carrie underwood there is no compition for that at all. And Taylors lyrics go far beyond boys...have you heard all of her songs cuz if u had then you would know she sings not only about boys but about her band, her friends, growing up, etc. Taylor has better stage presence, has better songs, and sings about her life. And having good studio songs is important! Its not all about live performances! But even with live performances T-Swift is great!

@Misstaylor441 no its not a tie,only teen girls thinks that

no real music fan or music critic will ever think that. carrie is a class act is not everyday that a singer in this generation vocal abilities gets compared to elvis presley.

critics love swift in studios and NOT LIVE....THERE IS A DIFFERNCE.

I never said taylor sucks but it is ridiculus to compare her to carrie in terms of talent.

CARRIE IS A BETTER SINGER AND SONGWRITER .....her lyrics goes beyond BOYS.

@1bulma1 Then what should she sing about? Oh should she sing about her band? Or what its like to grow up? Oh wait...she already did. Taylor writes about her life and finding love is a part of that at the moment. And breaking records means a lot because that means people are actually buying your records and listening to your music and those people find your music good. Critics also love T-Swift. Rolling stones gave her album and A- thats great!! T-Swift is beautiful and talented. Its a tie :)

@Misstaylor441 Alao carrie's album is still the best selling debut for a country artist, breaking records doesnt make you better,

am sorry I know it hard to hear but CARRIE IS JUST SUPERIOR TO TAYLOR,everyone knows it.if you both of them on stage it will be JOKE.

CARRIE SINGS BETTER AND HAS BETTER SONGS,I know you said taylor writes about boys bcuz she is a teen but she has reached the age of accountablity a 19-21 yr old girl must know now THAT LIFE IS NOT ALL ABOUT BOYS

carrie wins

@Misstaylor441 the only people who think taylor is equal or better than carrie is teen girls,bliv me no gorwn up men/women like me who ever think that and wining awards doesnt mean much.AM TALKING OF VOCAL TALENT. And in that category taylor is lackiing,TAYLOR CANT WIN AMERICAN IDOL.which means taylor singIng is flawed.

and so what if her album broke records,BRITNEY SPEARS ALSO BROKE RECORDS.it didnt mean she was a great singer.

I dont hate taylor but she is INFERIOR COMPARED TO CARRIE

@1bulma1 im not talking about a larger audience?? im talking about DIFFERENT audiences and Taylor cant sing live? How about you listen to her new performances...they are amazing and if Tay is bellow average why did she win GRAMMYS, VMAs, CMAs, ACMs, Billboard awards, and the list goes on you have to be good to win those exspecially and GRAMMY! oh? AND WHY DID HER ABLUM BREAK RECORDS? The went platinum in the 1st week... she was the 1st artist to do that in years...I dont think carrie did that

@Misstaylor441 carrie doesnt reach the same audience that taylor does???

hmm I guess been invited to be a memeber of the grand ole opry is not a large audience for you.

I like taylor however carrie is far suoerior to her.if you carrie and taylor to sing on the same stage together it will be a joke.

a great artist must be able to sing WELL AND LIVE,Taylor cant do that.

am not hating am just saying what many people hae said?

taylor singing is bellow avaerage at best

@1bulma1 Carrie is years older than Taylor Swift!!!! What is Taylor going to wwrite about getting married??? She cant cuz she hasnt gone through that yet! Taylor is a great song writer who helps young girls feel better about life! Carrie doesnt reach the same audience that Taylor Does! Carrie reaches an older audience which is great to because THEY ARE BOTH GREATARTISTS! so just listen to the music and dont be hateing on other artists

why re people comparing Taylor Swift to Carrie Underwood?? I mean this isnt sports! You can be a fan of more than one artists!!!!!!!!! I know i love both of them! I mean when i want to know what to do with a boy i listen to Taylors music. When i want to feel empowered i listen to Carries music. They are both EXTREMLY talented woman...so just enjoy the music

@maartenpalthe2306 why r u comparing her to Taylor...they are both great artists....cant u just listen to the fucking song without hurting someone??

Why is everyone hating on Taylor Swift? She's amazing, just like Carrie Underwood!

TheAQHAgal no Taylor swift is annoying Some of her music is Good But Carrie is a far better Singer than Taylor swift by far

She probably hasnt been cheated on,i wouldnt :)

@OIvey257 okay can you guys pls talking about taylor’s writing skills, Carrie is a brilliant songwriter too & is good if not better than taylor,carrie wrote so small, temporary home and mama song. All her songs are inspirational and have a substantial meaning.

all Taylor’s writing skills are about boys cheating on her and breaking her heart,

CARRIE IS ABOVE THAT, she writes sogs about live, love, and hardship

Taylor whines about all her ex boyfriends

Carrie wins in every way

Good song. Love her cover. Check out my Carrie covers and let me know what you think: Before he cheats, Flat on the floor, Last name.

she is way better than taylor swift and cares more to give a great performance

@StelliosHolmes Done. Ah that's better.

@peanutismint Do what I'm going to do click the big X give myself repeated blows to the skull until the memory of this abortion has gone from my brain and then find the Elliott track......job done xo

great singer

This isn't Elliott Smith?!?

@rthomasclanyahoo


Taylor Swift uh who. Carrie blows her away TS would NEVER!!! be able to sing Independence Day in a million years!!!!

@gamgee16 i would love that but it won't really have the kind of effect that taylor gives it 'coz it is after all her life experiences and the emotion that you see is real, she's not just imagining...but i think carrie is gonna sound really really good singing taylor's songs ^_^

awww i love her shes amazing && is a kind of women thats a good roll model

RIP American Idol

I have to admit, while I think Taylor is just as good as Carrie, her songs have gotten kind of stale. I mean, she has two themes: "Somebody done me wrong" and "I'm in love". Get some variety, please!

And people, do not say it's a fact that Carrie is better than Taylor, or vice versa. It's all a matter of opinion. Opinions do not facts make.

@marisacortinas12 So do I !!

@gamgee16 The only problem I have with that is that if Taylor wrote them, she has the right to sing them lol. But all of that aside, I love them both, but Carrie's the better vocalist and performer... If you think about it this way, Carrie can give you chills when she sings, but I've never gotten any from Taylor. I think she still has a pretty nice voice, though, but pretty limited.

@rthomasclanyahoo I think that they are both very talented.. they are worlds apart though.. they don't even have the same style nor types of talent. Taylor is very talented in singing, writing all of her own music, and playing guitar. The only two things I would consider similar between them is they are talented, have great personalities, and go a long way for their fans.

Taylor Swift should've given all her songs to Carrie ... Here's a good scenario : Taylor writes songs, Carrie sings them. :)

how awesome!!!!

A true freedom song; freedom to be and to do.

She's lost so much weight since then...

....yeah she had the competition in the B-A-G when she sang this.... lol super patriotic lol good for her though! She's a fantastic singer!

carrie underwood is leagues above taylor swift. theres no comparison.

@253867 yes there is!!! It came out like 2 weeks after she won amercian idol it has her version of independence day and inside you heaven on it!!! This cd was to try and promote her before her actual cd came out

@GinaGlocksenFan Again respect ur "opinion" but theres really no one in Martinas class. Martinas vocals & range in here prime are about 2 notches above Carries, again, I love Carrie & everything she sings is great (especially "i told you so") but to compare her to Martina is useless, they are both great in different ways.

@kissdrumr With this song, maybe, but otherwise she is DEFINITELY in or above Martina's class.

@GinaGlocksenFan While she is very strong & I love Carrie, shes nowhere in Martina's class, especially with this song.....Respect ur opinion though

@kissdrumr I think Carrie's is stronger...

Martina McBride sings amazing songs. And Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift both have so much talent. You don't need to compare them. Taylor Swift just likes to sing songs to a younger audience.

@Machogrl One word....Amen.

@rthomasclanyahoo yes we know that but do we rely have to point it out and taylor is growing in music she was much more shakey the first time she put out an albem then now so give her time carrie is older and more matured lol ;)

Martina McBride's still better.

We don't need to compare Carrie Underwood to Taylor Swift. They're both good singers. Let's leave it at that.

No wonder she won idol she looks like a total professional

That's our Sooner girl

Yea Its Martinas song and she sings a bit better but that was amazing.

Martina has a stronger voice but carrie is great

i like the martina mcbride version alot better

@rthomasclanyahoo
because for people who typically who don't usually like country music (like me) they are the only two they like, let alone love. But Carrie is a MUCH better singer. But let's not forget Taylor is INCREDIBLY talented, she actaully writes her OWN songs unlike Carrie. but i love them both

Taylor Swift also writes.

Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood are both good singers !

american idol winner/broadway star fantasia has a new single out call "bittersweet" you can download it at itunes or amazon com

Taylor Swift is an okay singer but there is no question that Carrie is better. It's not that hard to hear.

wow Carrie actually sounded like Martina on that chorus part

shes really preaty and she sings awesome

I felt out of body when watched this show. Carry is always amazing. I love country music.

Indonesia <3 Carry Underwood

No; thank you for you getting back to me! I agree, the comments seem to be harsh, I won't try and straighten my Halo on this, but the negativity just brings us all down.
I'ts nice to be recognized for some positivity every nonce and a while. I thank you again

i like it but i like it better with martina mcbride

Voting is now open for the 2010 Entertainer Of The Year category at ACM Awards. Please head on over NOW and vote for Carrie!!! Every.single.vote counts, so we need to make sure we really step it up and vote hard!
