Unless you absolutely have to do so (like if you have a Carrie Underwood theme week), don't tackle any songs Carrie sang!  You'll be compared to the original, and it's probably not going to end well for you.

 

Moving on. Wé getting the pimp spot probably is a very good sign of her making it to the semi-finals at least.  I also liked the choice of "The Sounds of Silence" by William Guy Tongi.  I love Simon & Garfunkel songs.
