OneRepublic did a sick cover of the song at their concert on Friday at the Roseland in NY!
FIX YOUR ARM, GIRL.
Re: Brent –
You're lame, and YOU suck ass.
THAT RENDITION SUCKED! RIHANNA IS THE ORIGINAL AND BEST!
Re: Nikki –
you're stupid.
Re: JayeJaye86 –
Actually i am not some redneck living in Arkansa. I am black. which yes is your mistake. and just because I am black does not mean that i can not see that Rihanna is working on a 15 min. time limit. So you idiot…typically when people say fifteen mins. they are not using it in literal terms. Its in reference to her longevity. Which many people have predicted is not promising…(hint: she really cant sing) And since you want to state her track record lets talk about how before Umbrella…she really was not a major mainstream artist. And even her songs afterwards have not been as successful. I am not hating…love the song…as i stated in the original post. So think before you write these post and dong make absurd generalizations like you did. THANKS!
Wow– very nice! love both carrie and keith- and I love rianna too- so the combo is outstanding! I think they did a very good version of the song- countrified or not. Its HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God– finally a good cover of umbrella! Carrie and Keith ROCK!!! I almost threw up when I suffered through Taylor Swift's horrid cover- yuck! She cannot sing at all (taylor). But Carrie and Keith are HOT singing together! love them both!
Carrie Underwood ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her cover is awesome and who cares if she can't dance? She never pretended to be a good dancer- and picks on herself often for it. Thankfully- you don't need to dance in country music- no one does. So it doesn't matter. She can sing circles around anyone though.
And to the lame people bashing Carrie- get a life! Carrie is amazing!
Taylor Swift is the one that sucks! She is the worst singer in all of country music— and is even worse then britney spears- which is saying something.
CARRIE ROCKS MY WORLD!
keith is hot! i've seen this show and they're great together.
Re: JayeJaye86 –
so idiot. I am not some redneck living in Kansas. I am actually black. And yes that is your mistake. And just because I am black does not mean that I can not see that Rihanna is working on a 15 min. time limit. Hunny…typically when people refer to someone being famous for 15 mins. they are not speaking in literal terms (gosh…i thought everyone knew that…glad that i can inform you). Rihanna has no longevity (and since i seemingly have to break things down for you) that means that she will more than likely not be around for the next six years making hits. And if you want to track her track record maybe you should understand that just because an artist can get ONE hit every year does not make them a star. And none of her songs have had the star power like Umbrella…which was actually because of the song and how it was marketed…nothing to do with her. As I said previously…she is a very cute girl…i am not hating on her….however…some things i guess idiots like you really dont understand. THANKS. and please stop making generalizations about ppl. living in Kansas…thats really not nice. hahahahaha.
Whoever said Taylor swift does a better cover then carrie- is insane! Carrie sings circles around that talentless wench! She sings worse then I do- and that is saying something. lol
Carrie and Keith are HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To Barf: Carrie knows EXACTLY who she is, and always did! Why would she try to be KD Lang when she is so much better then her, on her own? Carrie and keith were having fun at a concert- that is all! They weren't trying to be anyone but themselves- and if you don't like it- too damn bad! Most people loved it!
Carrie is a sweetheart and she is the best thing to ever come out of american idol- period. This cover was hot! love keith urban too!
Love rianna too- but Carrie did a great cover!
It's a bit Pitchy dog!
Actually, they didn't sing this song at Madison Square Garden, THE arena!! I was quite disappointed when I saw this clip online after I had come back.
Carrie does this song better then Rihanna! Carrie is amazing, she can sing anything and sound great.
LOVE IT! They are both so amazing, and so is the gorgeous Rihanna!
man ILL SCARLETT do unbrella better then Rihanna EVER could. They are amazing at it.
This has to be one of the best posts that you have ever put up on your website. I hope that this comes out on ITunes.
Better than the original. Riri sux. Urgh!
that sucks! carrie shouldn't do rihanna! stick to country!
Carrie Underwood singing Rihanna? that's like manufactured shit singing manufactured shit, it's funny how Rihanna can put out 3 albums in 3 years since she doesn't write her own music, theirs probably teams of people writing her next album as we speak.
when will the rumors start about these two shagging cousin style?
Shouldn't RiRi be a bit embarassed that HER song is sung so much better by other singers..
Mandy Moore, Carrie Underwood did it so much better than RiRi everrr would. lol
Carrie Underwood is manufactured crap it takes truly talented people like canadian singer songwriter Gordie Sampson who wrote "Jesus take the wheel" to make her "hits".
why did she do that? doesn't she have her own songs? oh yeah….and did you guys know that she went from american idol to stuck up bitch with a big ego? that's right…she thinks she's better than YOU!
i love them! and that was a terrific cover, for anyone who says differently.
and keith urban is majorly hot.
That was the longest 4 minutes of my life, I thought it would never end. Crappiest version ever.
i like carrie and everything but this song was so long ago and its not like that song was an instant classic! the girl repeats the word umbrella in a few different ways can we please move on from it?????
What is with the weird arm move Carrie keeps doing. Can't she think of some other movement to keep time? It's really annoying.
She doesn't sound that good to me =/
prefer the original, but way to mix it up. u both r great!!!
Carrie is awesome on this version! yeah! love riri too- but carrie and keith are hot!! Who cares if Carrie can't dance- she rocks anyway! love it!
it was very good… but they should've ended it a couple minutes sooner… but very nice live version…
This is ridiculous… Umbrella is originally done by Scott Simmons and his version is much better. Rihanna copied it almost exactly so I have no idea why she's getting so much credit for the song!
Wow- I love it! Thanx perez! It rocks and so does carrie! These bashers can all go back to bashing britney- who deserves it. Carrie and KEith are the real deal and they are hot in concert! I have seen them live and they are on fire! I love riana and Carrie so I like both versions- but Carrie is an amazing singer- and whomever calls her manufactured is insane! She is more real and authentic then any of you lame bashers. lol By the way- CARRIE WROTE SEVERAL SONGS ON HER NEW ALBUM AND 2 ALREADY HIT NUMBER 1! SO take that and chew on it, haters!
Love Carrie! She sounds great, the hard gesture gets to be a bit much. I am noticing a lot of haters and there is nothing to hate about this. I think it is fun! I like it! Carrie is by far the best American Idol alum.
that fucking sucked!
perez, anyone else who reads this, check out all time low's cover of umbrella. they just recorded it for punk goes crunk, and i have to say, it's the best cover song i've ever heard, and it's even better live.
okay, really now - what is the big deal with this person? she sucks as a former idol. ick, just ish. her and kat mcnasty are gross.
your very VERY scientific poll, yah okay perezzey.
anyways, carrie underwhore should really stick to her gay hick music that she sings, shes at least good at that… so instead of butchering a good song that sounds best when the original (rihanna) sings it then maybe she should think twice…
she looks like she's doing the chicken dance
Carrie is awesome on this song! What is with all you jealous bashers?? She is a 3 time grammy winner– so I think she is way beyond being a "good former idol." I love this cover and I love carrie- so take your hate and spew it on someone who deserves it- like britney!
Re: American Idol Fan –
Do you know how stupid you sound dumbass? How much money would you have left if you subtract $20 from a billiion?
CarrieH8trs aren't too bright are they?
Carrie is amazing! I love this cover! RiRi rocks too- but Carrie does a GREAT job! She is the best thing to EVER come out of american idol- period. She rocks!
i love carrie underwood but, I HATE UMBRELLA ITS SOOO OVER PLAYED! I REALLY WISH THAT SONG WOULD JUST DISSAPEAR , I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES IT SO MELODICALLY AMAZING OR AN "INSTANT CLASSIC" YEAH RIGHT, blah
although not a big carrier underwood fan, she sings it way better than rihanna, actually I think most covers have outshone her hahaha, rhianna is waccccck
what the fuck is she doing with her arms? its like a combo of bad middle school dancing (the bobbing) and rap arms…WTF?
I thought it was pretty good. I'm giong to her concert in Ottawa on March 21st I actually hope she does I cover of Rihanna or something
I would totally buy this on Itunes
Keith looks amazing im so glad he's better!!!
This makes me uncomfortable.
i went to a one republic concert on friday at the roseland ballroom this past friday and they did a remake on rihannas song too
hehe
hollaaa
what's with the chicken wing dance?
she can't keep a beat without flapping her elbow?
Despite the akward arm movements, she does a better job at singing this song than Rhianna with her annoying weird voice
onerepublic did it too and their cover is awesome, even though i think that ryan produced it
okay…uh, plz leave this song to RiRi…
i love Carrie…but wtf is she doing with her arm? is that a way of rapping for the country folk? lol…geez its horrible.
I love Carrie Underwood she did a great cover of Umbrella. Her voice sounds great
haha I cant lie….. I LOVED IT!
rockin' out with the banjo!!!… Hardcore!
awwwwwcarrie ROCKS!!! i love this!!!
I like it maybe cuz carrie as real vocals ?? as much as riri is gorgues her voice doesnt really shine like carries but anywho i like it not bad for a somewhat contry version. Even taylor swift sang her own version
I LOVE HOW SHE MOVES HER ARM TO TRY TO LOOK ALL GANSTA LOL
I LOVE HER THO
CARRIE: whats with the dancing?? and her voice is terribleeee here!!!
KEITH: sounds amazing…trully an AMAZING voice..
Carrie SUUUUUUUUCKS son much here…leave that song to those who caan sing it
She sounds like she's trying reeeeaaalllyyy hard to sound just like rihanna which is really lame. I was hoping to hear something country. Keith still sounds like Keith so go him for ya know having his OWN style. Carrie Underwood is one of the most unoriginal artists out there today. The End.
Re: Chris –
I just heard mandy moore's version and it is wayyy better than rihanna's. mandy's is a lil bit breathy in the beginning, but i'll take it over obnoxious riri's any day!
Re: JayeJaye86 –
Someone's a hardcore rihanna fan! Even though I may not like her nearly as much as u do, I like the way u defended her!
Re: Nicky* –
Yeah I don't know why everyone on here are such haters. And yeah, carrie's probably one of the most talented idols/artists that came out of american idol. She's won more awards than I can keep track of. She is the real deal.
are you serious?? CARRIE ROCKS! she proves that hollywood isn't all about showing boobs, butt, sex tapes and all that. she actually HAS talent. i guess we all have our own opinions, but one can't help but agree that Carrie Underwood is the real deal.
peace out!
Carrie did amazing on this song! She is one of the most talented vocalists out there- and I could care less if she is a good dancer or not. Dancing is not her thing- and she never pretended it was.
stop the hating people! I think some of you live to bash people on this stupid site. Carrie is 100x the vocalist that any of your favorites are, that'sfor sure.
Carrie butchered that song-sorry! And that stupid hand gesture..don't get me started!
what is up with her arm? it looks like she is trying to be all gangster like poppinh her arm but she just looks like shes retarded. also like shes having some kind of fit. thats all i could look at the whole time. but it does sound good!
Hardly an instant classic..this song is from like 30 years ago and Rihanna is only the latest of about 5 to remake it
whats with her chicken wing thing?
um, her song isn't a classic.
She made a cover. Some guy in the 70's originally sang the song.
She pulled it out and raped it, just like everyone else does with a good song, then it becomes unbearable
her hand action kinda creeps me out!
But it was good
I think that carrie underwood sux singing that song.
She's such a fucking poser sometimes. Look how damn skinny she got, it
wont b long before she'll be singing "rehab" LOL
I'm a true blue country fan.. but this is just *ucking wrong!
all time low covered the song, too.
the did a concert in HI recently and played it.
surprisingly, that one got the most crowdsurfers…
Re: cuddlebutt –
just do a youtube search
Was Keith Urban pretending to play the banjo? I was waiting for a solo or something to make the song sound more country. I never heard the thing once, and that instrument has a very distinct sound.
Why would anyone cover a song that shitty. It's about as good as that stupid new "Tattoo" Song I keep hearing.
Shit. Pure reeking shit.
Re: Barf –
KD Lang? Whoa that's random!
Carrie's arms in this video are NOTHING compared to Heidi Montag's arms hahaha
She mangled it.
It is torture listening to her sing.
I see the signal went up at the carriebot farm……Carrie has NO personality or dancing skills….
sounds horrible!
SUCKS!!! like her, but it SUCKS!!
Holy Shit that was AWEFUL!! Absolutely terrible. I like the song. This was the worst version I have heard. Really really really really bad.
PS. Perez is a douche.
since we're comparing this to britney, her dancing was just about as good as britney's performance on the vma's. Carrie looks like a bobble head…i mean a bobble arm since it's so awkward and is the only thing that's moving back and forth with the song. haha. As I recall, she was a pretty sucky dancer on Idol as well. Looks like she should be putting all the dinero towards something else…dance lessons.
most people who comment here are so so rude.get a life,please???
stop all the rudeness and the nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!
if you dont like it,DONT POST!!!WE DONT NEED MEAN COMMENTS!!!!
so please,could y'all try to be nice???????
1. how lame is it wen artists do not have originality and use other artists music
and 2. she needs some new moves
this is MUCH better than rihanna's LIVE version. maybe some of you should youtube rihanna singing UMBRELLA live. her accent is so think it sounds like a fucking stopped up sewer drain. Carrie is so hot, and this doesn't give the cover she and keith do justice. this is a pretty low quality video, and it is MUCH better LIVE in PERSON!!
maybe you dumbfucks should actually go to one of the concerts, before giving shitty opinions, dumbass son of a bitches.
to the dumbfuck who said she was "trailer trash", carrie lives in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in the southeast, I forgot the name but the houses cost upward of 50 million dollars, and just a lot to build your house on is 1 million dollars, so good luck calling someone trailer trash that lives in a subdivision like that. I know Dolly Parton, several of the Tennessee Titans, and Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts. you dumb son of a bitch, maybe you should know where someone lives before saying 'trailer trash'.. by the way. you should probably go check on your wheels, to make sure your house isn't going anywhere. =D. hahahahaa.
Re: American Idol Fan – You are obviously on CRACK! Get over yourself!
Only Rihanna can pull off Umbrella
what`s up with her flapping arms looking like chicken? somebody, please teach her how to dance!

Mandy moore had it done first before Your Ri Ri did and her version is much much better than both RiRi's and Carries much much better but since your lacking talent you wouldnt know what is real talent and what is mostly electronics!
