It has come to my attention that the majority of the world will never accept Carrie again (except for country) because the only Carrie Underwood song is played on pop stations is Before He Cheats. That's all pop música stations does is to play Before He Cheats and never stops. Cowboy Casanova, Undo It, Good Girl, and Blown Away shouldn't really help much either.
At first, I thought it was only people on youtube who were being stubborn about the whole thing, but turns out it's everyone. So people was talking to either people about music. We both agree that Lady Gaga is a creepy weirdo, and Kesha is trashy and annoying. Then somebody was talking about how Carrie doesn't like either of their attitudes, and this was coming from probably the most positive, optimistic person of course. The only música Carrie Underwood does is country music. Why didn't she make pop música for crossover appeals. Taylor rápido, swift did that. So why won't Carrie Underwood do the same thing? I know why? Because she defends her country música last year. What the fart? Then I started ranting about how Lady Gaga tries way too hard to be unique, when all Carrie Underwood had to do was to make country music. Then a person dicho she doesn't like Carrie either because country música is awful, and how she shows how "trashy" she is with her country music. Then of course, I tried explaining how she wasn't serious with her songs and she even want to release her songs everywhere, but that didn't really go anywhere. This whole incident just showed me that, if someone as optimistic as her doesn't even like Carrie because of her songs, then no one else will, other than die-hard fans and mainstream addicts. (No offense to anyone who is...)
So, in case an anti-fan like that happens to come across this page, I want to clear a few things up. Carrie was not serious with her country hits. It was just a country song she wrote for fun and didn't even plan on releasing it for country audiences. But of course, the música marketing department forced her to. They wanted Carrie Underwood albums to be just country albums because that's what sells these days. Carrie did not want this, however, so she put her foot down, and that caused some conflicts with her and the música market. In the end, she had to compromise, and put only country songs on the record. I only wish she could've shown people that por releasing her pop songs...
That's another thing that frustrates me. The way the musical/mainstream industry works... they only play a single o two that's relatively new from an album, and they play it over and over and over again on the radio until it drives enough people mad. Because of this, most people either don't bother to look up Carrie because they get enough of her country songs on the radio, o they look her up only to listen to her songs since the only radio stations to play Carrie Underwood songs is country stations. It's such a shame that those people will never hear the brilliance of her awesome country songs like Don't Forget to Remember Me, Wasted, All-American Girl, Temporary Home, Mama's Song, Two Black Cadillacs, See tu Again
Even though everyone complains about Before He Cheats being overplayed and whatnot, I've actually only heard Carrie Underwood songs on the country radio. Since something is obsessed with mainstream, I'm forced to listen to it quite frequently, but instead of hearing Carrie's songs, I hear Lady Gaga and Katy Perry and Taylor rápido, swift crap that came out either before o around the same time Carrie Underwood makes country música non-stop since 2005. Carrie been around before all of them, and her música is way better (IMO obviously) than theirs, and it's new. Shouldn't radio stations be playing her música (at least her country songs) like Mama's Song as well other than country radio stations? o at least on más than one station, so it's not like a scavenger hunt to try and find one that plays her. I've noticed the same thing with bands like Paramore. Their música is incredible as well, but when Brand New Eyes came out, I never heard their música on the radio.
Well, I can accept the fact that something like this went through a lot to get to hear Before He Cheats, but I'm just not too keen on all the hyperbole. "Before He Cheats is awesome and I don't like Carrie Underwood" Stop that already, please take the time to hear Carrie Underwood songs like Jesus, Take the Wheel, Don't Forget to Remember Me, Wasted, So Small, All-American Girl, Last Name, Just a Dream, Cowboy Casanova, Temporary Home, Undo It, Mama's Song, Good Girl, Blown Away, Two Black Cadillacs, See tu Again. If tu did and tu consider that tu prefer other Carrie Underwood songs, fine. At least tu have seen her songs, but I get the feeling that a lot of people haven't, o only hear them once and they rejected them.
Anyways, kinda got off topic there. Sure, Carrie can be talented at times when it comes to her country music, sometimes más than others. But can't we all? I see people in their 30's-40's actuación WAY less mature than her. She's an amazing singer and her country música is perfect to everyone beside her country audiences. She's a happy person who wants to have fun. Yeah, she was annoying on country radio and I much prefer hearing her songs, but that was just her being a special country singer. It's what her country song like So Small were made so special. So why doesn't Carrie Underwood mover her country música to pop and make her pop music? Let's continue.
But the biggest thing that is preventing Carrie Underwood from having an identity outside of her música is the suits' paranoia over country audiences. tu know how much I hate their fear of what country música listners want to hear her songs.
música brass... Country música audiences aren't your target demographic for Carrie Underwood songs!
Who is your target demographic?
EVERYONE.
Play to everyone, families, kids, adults, fans, pop música listeners... You'll get a big success on your hands, it's not freakin' rocket science! por trying too hard to appeal to country música listeners, tu alienate other musc listeners like pop música lisenters who will make Carrie Underwood songs más successful than they are. tu also come off as country music, and tu also make pop música listeners feel left out. What is this? A country music-only treehouse? This is Carrie Underwood, something everyone deserves to experience.
Also, if tu treat Carrie Underwood songs as a treehouse for country that doesn't allow pop... Then you're limiting your audience for appealing Carrie Underwood. Pop música listeners don't want to go into a country music's treehouse, because that's country music's stuff. Is Carrie Underwood country's stuff? No. Need I remind the suits about beloved Carrie Underwood songs like Jesus, Take the Wheel! and Good Girl??? Good thing those weren't made today, they probably would've done decent business at best.
This obsession with pleasing one minor chunk of their música audience all stems from Carrie Underwood. Music's newly-hired staff came on board when Carrie Underwood's música was released from 2005 onwards, and those "geniuses" failed to realize that Carrie Underwood's campaign was lame and that Carrie Underwood had other pre-release baggage for country música department. But in corporation fashion, the suits and marketing are never wrong... It's obviously Carrie Underwood's fault for not releasing her country música to pop stations. That's why mtv o Fuse don't want to play Carrie Underwood música videos like Last Name besides Before He Cheats. So if tu want Carrie Underwood música videos on mtv o Fuse, tell mtv and Fuse and air a Carrie Underwood marathon with all Carrie Underwood música videos on the former and Carrie Underwood Takeover on the latter. That way, MTV, Fuse o even VH1 will have no problem airing Carrie Underwood música videos not named Before He Cheats like All-American Girl. See is that easy?
Well, I guess my point being is, people, get over that fact that Carrie isn't a pop singer. She is a country singer. I'll tell tu what, Carrie has to retire her country música career and mover her country música to pop and then make pop music. That way, Carrie's música will be shown on pop. Forget about Before He Cheats, because Carrie's country singles not named Before He Cheats is fantastic, and if tu don't want Before He Cheats, skip over Before He Cheats and her country is just like pop música done por pop artists like Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry for the most part, so at least give it a shot before assuming it's just like pop música like rosado, rosa and Rihanna.
Thanks for lectura my long, probably unnecessary rant.
