CD Description
Country purists may take offense at finding American Idol winner Carrie Underwood's debut album in the country section.An unabashedly manufactured commercial product, SOME HEARTSis the sound of mainstream country in the 2000s heavily steeped in glossy pop. There's nothing downhome or roots-conscious about Underwood's voice or looks: she's the pretty blonde next door with a fine singing voice, but the powers that be have made her a country artist, and that's what the publicgets.
None of this is to say that SOME HEARTS is not a good pop album. The combination of Underwood's considerable gift and the slick, spot-on production of Dan Huff and Mark Bright makes for a fine package. Even on somewhat by-the-numbers tunes (like her smash hit "Inside Your Heaven"), Underwood sings with conviction, and she does well with both the ballads and the uptempo tracks. Idol viewers and fans of artists like Faith Hill and Shania Twain will want to check this out.

Customer Reviews

5 Stars for the country girl!
Even though I followed series 4 of American Idol, I know that many people will be put off by the fact that Carrie is the winner of a reality tv show if that is not there kind of thing. But I would just like to say that this album is definitely worthy of buying and is not cheesy in the slightest. If you hadn't knownwho she was, you would not be able to say this was her first professional album. There is a mix of country and contemporary country with the acclaimed song "Jesus, take the wheel". Overall I would not hesitate to recommend the album..good start to a very potential career!

Absolutely Fantastic!
After watching only the final of American Idol 4 online and seeing Carrie win, I immediately decided to buy her album and wasn't disappointed one bit! She has an amazing voice that can rival original American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, and the album is simply packed with brilliant songs. Favourites for me are Wasted, Jesus Take the Wheel, The Night Before (Life Goes On), Before he Cheats and of course her first ever single Inside Your Heaven. Can't wait for her second album, hopefully it will be evejn half as good as her first!

Fantastic! Simply Brilliant!
I had Carrie Underwood's debut album 'Some Hearts' on order and delivered by Amazon only weeks after she won American Idol, but have only decided to write after reading the mixed reviews. The album is truly breathtaking. Every single song is great, with my personal favourites being, 'I Just Can't Live A Lie', 'That's Where It Is', 'Some Hearts' and Whenever You Remember'. Can't wait to hear her next album. Yes she won a talent contest and you can try and knock this girl all you like but you can't deny she can definately sing. Go out and buy this album and keep Carrie at the top where she belongs. She's a gorgeous girl, with a god given talent. We love you Carrie. Keep Singing.
