8/8: New Carrie music/ “Revisionist Idol”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Carrie Underwood’s new single “So Small” from her upcoming sophomore CD hit radio last week and quickly landed at No. 20 on the country chart, the highest debut this year. Here’s a spot to sample it in case you haven’t heard it yet..
It was co-written by Carrie herself and the songwriter of “Jesus, Take the Wheel” and “Wasted.”
I listened to it twice. It’s yet another showcase for Carrie’s soaring vocals in ballad form. I can’t say “So Small” is quite as catchy as “Jesus” or “Wasted” but it should have no problem hitting the top 5 on the country charts. (No. 1? Not so sure.)
Meanwhile, Ken Barnes at Idol Chatter is having a field day with his “revisionist” idol, allowing his readers to vote on who they think are the top 6 from each season. He’s currently on season two and the Claymates are in full force. Clay is going to win by a 9 to 1 margin over everybody else. Ruben may not even come in second. (I think Kimberley Locke might beat him out.). Obviously, this isn’t remotely scientific and Claymates have inundated the site, but even if you include only Ken’s regular readers, it’s Clay all the way! If you want to send some love to our hometown gal Vanessa Olivarez (who is getting a few votes and was unfairly ousted early that year), give her some votes people!
Fortunately, I don’t think a single person has given Corey Clark a vote. Charles Grigsby might outvote him!
