Her "hip-hop hand" gesture is a little…strange.

Nevertheless, she's adorable.

Jenna Jones UK says – reply to this

Nikki says – reply to this

44

That was horrible. I hate country music and carrie underwood more. What's with the ridiculous arm movement.
DALE says – reply to this

45

Instant classic?! that song is overplayed commercial shit and don't forget to mention she didn't write the song, you stupid has been.
I was a Carrie fan until I heard this says – reply to this

I HATE that song…whoever sings it.

What is with the chicken flapping arms on Carrie?Is she trying to take off?
Amy says – reply to this

51

tjhed says – reply to this

52

53

Just more evidence that country music sucks. She would be ok with some crappy pop tunes but I'm just hatinnnn that country music. DUMB DUMB DUMB
HMM says – reply to this

54

THIS SONG IS BULLSH*T! Rihanna can't sing for CRAP! She's been manufactured and looks like what she sounds. I am not a fan of Carrie, but I'd totally pick any one over Rihanna. But please, some one kill this song and never let it be played EVER again!!!
Jordyn says – reply to this

55

Horrible.
Aileen says – reply to this

56

rihanna sings it better
Dude says – reply to this

57

This song proves that the American public has zero taste in music. What an annoying and shitty song! Rianna sounds like she's whining and choking when she sings. Ugh. British music is so much better.
carla says – reply to this

58

not bad!
Chris says – reply to this

59

NOTHING BEATS MANDY MOORE"S VERSION. TRULY AMAZING

It reminds me of the country group Sugarland's cover of Beyonce's 'Irreplacable'
Cassie says – reply to this

That really is so true, though. I saw One Republic at the Webster in Hartford, CT last Saturday and they did Umbrella, too. It was friggen AWESOME, hahaa…good song!!

JayeJaye86 says – reply to this

66

to that idiot that said "wonder when rihanna's 15 min will be over" ummm never… shes the latest diva to emerge… incase you didnt know she has 3 platinum albums, shes an international superstar she has had 10 top 40 singles in less than 3 years…. shes had a #1 single every year since her debut. u must be some redneck hick living in kansas. idiot.
Sam says – reply to this

67

Can you really even cover a song that was already a cover to begin with? And why does it look like Underwood is doing the funky chicken for the first 40+ seconds of the clip?
Catherine says – reply to this

68

Rihanna is way better, HANDS DOWN.
nicole says – reply to this

Not so sure about her arm the whole time but I love her!

BEST CONCERT EVER!!!!
karlie says – reply to this

71

Shes trying too hard to sound like Rihanna! RiRi is one of a kind, dont try to copy her, WONT WORK! DUR!
GimmeGimmeMore! says – reply to this

72

I don't get it. If you're going to cover a song, at least learn the lyrics properly and than get on stage to perform it. Umbrella is a beautiful song and this was probably the weakest cover I've ever heard.
Not to mention that her "dancing" sucks.
Rainman says – reply to this

73

Cool shoulder swing hinge pivot thing going on there. Loosen up there Carrie…pull the Umbrella out of your ass!
Haley says – reply to this

74

I liked it, but damn the girl can't dance.
Oh, and they're so getting it on.
Kat says – reply to this

75

Re: People Paula – That is exactly what I was thinking.. She looks like a chicken! Why isnt she dancing ?
Nicky* says – reply to this

76

Ggeeezz… why are so many people who comment on this website such haters.? As for Carrie I think she's the best thing to come out of Americian Idol. I love her and I dont mind the version of Umbrella. I prefere RiRi's version personally.
cuddlebutt says – reply to this

77

Who the hell covered Toxic? Who?!!
kt says – reply to this

78

i wish carrie would stop moving her arm like that. geez that's annoying.
Boring says – reply to this

79

ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

She didnt do anything different. It may as well be Riahanna singing that.
Btw Carrie Underwood is just a basic generic singer. If it werent for American Idol she'd be selling 1/10th of her current sales

t-ish says – reply to this

86

that thing she does with her arm makes her look half retarded
Laurel says – reply to this

87

Someone should really show Carrie Underwood a few dance moves. What was the arm thing?
tammmm says – reply to this

88

Carrie sings it better than Rihanna.

bx says – reply to this

89

carrie's a bitch. taylor swift did umbrella WAY better
Lisa says – reply to this

90

I love Carrie, but what is with her hand? She needs to learn some new moves! I think she picked that up from Amy Winehouse!
berenice8o8 says – reply to this

91

rihanna is not the first to sing umbrella… I don't know her name but someone else sang that before her… yukk she needs to sing her own songs already
kendra says – reply to this

92

I love it!!! Carrie is amazing and does a gorgeous job!
Londoner says – reply to this

93

Good. I want that song to be overused then for it to die.
Beth says – reply to this

94

Make it stop!!!!
Barf says – reply to this

95

Rhianna's version is better and I cannot even stand Rhianna. Carrie Underwood clearly has no idea who she is. She's a wannabe K.D. Lang. She'll never touch Lang vocally.
Gross says – reply to this

96

Carrie Underwood is terrible. Talk about pitchy!
American Idol Fan says – reply to this

97

You couldn't pay me a billion dollars to buy a $20 Carrie Underwood concert ticket. She's so bad. I much prefer Kelly Clarkson or Amy Winehouse over that shit. I agree, K.D. Lang is much better by far. Carrie sang that trying to imitate Rihanna. She has no clue who she is. You would thinks he would.
Carrie Underwood attracts trailer trash fatties says – reply to this

98

Re: tammmm – You're fucking white trailer park trash. No way does Carrie sing this better than Rihanna. This is Rihanna's song. No one touches the original ever in any genre of any song. You fat lowlife pig.
