Watch: Carrie Underwood Jerks Tears

Carrie Underwood
"Just a Dream"
Director: Roman White
So how long until Carrie Underwood makes the Hollywood jump? Her new video for the harrowing "Just a Dream" leads us to believe the move isn't that far away. Along with a couple brief dialog scenes, the country beauty is forced to live her lyrics about a young wife devastated by her soldier husband's wartime death. "Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go?/ I was counting on forever, now I'll never know," she belts. Thankfully, her performance adds to the song's weepiness — the tears are believable once her white dress turns black thanks to the wonders of CGI. While this is hardly the most sophisticated elegy, it's powerful in a Lifetime sorta way. Underwood is sometimes criticized for her beauty queen heartlessness but it's hard not to feel for her here. Reese Witherspoon, watch out.
They gave her 3 stars out of 4.

Thanks for posting T. Liked the review. I hear that on every site - about how good her acting is. Tons of comments everywhere talk about that so not sure what EOnline was watching - obviously not the same performance all the rest were. I am trying to ignore EOnline's comments and brush it off to them being meaningless.
