I think we were talking about robbed performances that didn't make their respective Top 20s. But if anything, that performance was the robber. 17 minutes ago, Elliott said: And I was the one who ranked it 10/20. LOL which is so fitting as your #20s won for S2 and S4.

Why you gotta bring me into this? But yesss, I am very grateful you didn't cut AHINAH and I'll gladly suffer through YRGM being there so that AHINAH make the finals.

Alex95 Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 Known as the country girl, Carrie Underwood shocked the nation when she chose "Alone" by Heart for billboard number ones night in season four. Carrie's risk paid off as she showed off her rocker side and her versatility. Simon made the bold prediction that she would win the show and go on to sell more records than any previous Idol winner. Simon was correct as this performance helped Carrie sail to victory and become one of the most successful Idols of all-time, also being able to win this game despite the performance being polarizing on this site and having three last place rankings. This performance was ranked number one by @*Diana @Solaris @*Chris @taylorkat @~Tom~ @Weedy_Speedy @*Amanda @Steven_ 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Wallace Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I was looking forward to seeing Alex say positive objective comments on Carrie's "Alone." This was an iconic and fantastic performance from Carrie, and really changed things for her future in the competition and led her to her successful post-Idol career. And yeah there was definitely a lot of drama regarding S4, which was crazy. But still this was an amazing and deserving performance to win. I believe I had this at #3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrogLenzen Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Simon's comments are slightly more iconic than the actual performance, but this will always be an Idol Moment™ Is Carrie now ahead of Kelly for record sales? I think so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so? The YouTube comments on the video seemed to say she was but idk. Carrie's consistently putting out new music while Kelly seems to be more in the entertainment industry as a talk show host and Voice judge so I feel like it's Carrie, but I can't say for sure.

*Chris Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Carrie’s performance of Alone is still that performance for me - it is one that often come to mind when I think of the most memorable Idol performances! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Chris Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 According to recent information - if we take album, alone :Carrie - That thrust Underwood, who has sold 66 million albums worldwide, into the top spot as the first residency. (Billboard / December 2021) Kelly - In total, kelly Clarkson has sold 25 million copies of her albums. (Screenrant / May 2021) I think Kelly gets more for selling singles worldwide though - 45 millions to be exact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Screenrant / May 2021) I feel like I always hear about Kelly being the one with more global sales, but how does she only get ~12 million more if Carrie's at ~50 million more?

I wonder where they got their numbers as it's not even closed to what I get from WIKI. From my calculation from the sales part on Wikipedia, US & WW combine, I'd say Carrie is ~36 Millions & Kelly is ~25 Millions . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
