4. Carrie Underwood, ''I Can't Make You Love Me'' (season 4)
She was the fresh-faced farm girl who spent her days feeding cows and had never been on a plane. But when Carrie got in front of the judges and belted out Bonnie Raitt's most heartbreaking number, you didn't need a crystal ball to predict her multiplatinum future. Sure, Randy suggested that Carrie ''work a little bit more on the emotion and the stage presence,'' but even without stylists and vocal coaches and big-stage experience in her corner, the young lady from Oklahoma already had the competition in her denim pocket.

[gretch]

You go Carrie! I love seeing that picture and videos of her audition, she looked soo young & cutesy haha. Not that she looks old and not cute now, but you know what I mean, she's just transformed so much!

[CUFan7]

That was #1 for sure!

[MustLuvCarrie100]

WHAT? FOUR? thatssss ... %*@( arggh.

lamepeople.

[The Raz Man]

4 it should be 1!

[JB172]

Does it really matter where EW has her on the his list? Being the two time reigning CMA & ACM female vocalist, millions of albums sold and sellout after sellout of her headling a tour is what matters not a list of who's auditon was better.

[carries1gurl]

4? haha more like number 1

[champbear]

[Ayla05]

They must not have seen the real audition from the DVD. Of course Carrie was great but the look on Simon's face throughout her audition was priceless. He had this look in his eyes like "I'm in love!" You knew from her first audition that she was going to win. That had never happened before or since.

[carrie_simplygreat]

it doesn't really matter if she's just 4. She's the best selling and apparently the most famous idol ever

[CareBear2232]

[Carrie_Rocks_The_House]

Simon knew that they had found something special. Carrie should get credit for "clucking" her way on to AI.
