Play On * by Carrie Underwood (CD, Nov-2009, 19 Recordings USA)

A quick look at the RIAA's Gold and Platinium database reveals that Carrie Underwood is probably the most successful act coming out of American Idol in terms of album sales/commercial success, rivaling that spot only with Kelly Clarkson. Some Hearts combined with Carnival Ride sold at least 9 million copies, which is the same number as Kelly's first three albums combined. Keeping such enviable career track for a relatively new artist coming from a TV show where contestants (even the winning ones) are easily forgotten not long after their constant appearances during the season, is really something to be proud of - and in Carrie's case, it is not without a reason.

"Play On" has to be her most pop effort so far. The "country" label is just slightly applicable here. It has little or no connection to any of her previous albums, and maybe this is exactly what makes this record so interesting to hear, as it's not a repetition of anything from the past. It's far from being disappointing and should be heard even by the "Idol" skeptical and the country addicted listener.

I admire the artist's willing to navigate in something a little different. She took calculated risks with responsibility and the final result with "Play On" is acceptable at worst, very enjoyable at best. Difficult to say that it'll repeat the same milestone as "Carnival Ride" did, given the fact that less and less albums are sold every year, but for the current scenario, it has great chances to be one of the greatest sellers of the year. Besides good music, she has the genuine talent and the public charisma that can hardly be found on artists of the "new" generation...the Idol one.

Great price, bought three for gifts it was fast and free shipping, my grand kids will love them. Purchase thur the dailey deal and have been very please with each item I have gotten there.

Carrie's Dropped another good CD. Good CD. Haven't listened enough to fall in love - but it's worth a listen. My daughter's like it.

Carrie Underwood is amazing..never a sour note..I Just love the beats and songs on this CD. Her songs are always unique and no 2 songs sound alike. This is a great CD for the collection..A Must Have!

I love her vioce. I like the C.D . I like country music. I think she is pretty good to just get started and I wish her well. She has some tough compition but they all are good. I have had a couple of the cowboy casanova boyfriend's from TX. She is right run.

I bought this CD because it is Carrie Underwood and she has a great voice. This CD is different than her other CD's in that it is not really country. I am still deciding if I like the new genre. However I will say that Carrie does nothing wrong in my eyes.

I DECIDED TO BUY THIS BECAUSE CARRIE UNDERWOOD IS A WONDERFUL SINGER AND ALL MY FAMILY LOVES HER. THIS IS THE NEW CD AND IT IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION...ALL BRAND NEW. RECEIVED IT AND IT IS GREAT !!

Great deal since no lines in which to wait, no tax to pay, and came directly to my door. Great CD. This is the exact one in the store and any fan of Carrie Underwood would love this. I hope that e-bay puts more Daily Deals that are music CD's. Great gift for the holiday, too!

Carrie Underwood has an amazing voice that is only getting better as she gets a little older. She sings amazing ballads, and really rocks out on the up beat songs like "Cowboy Cassanova". If you've ever heard her voice and liked it, you'll love this CD. If you haven't heard her voice, but it anyway...you'll love it.

The music was awesome, as always, I love Carrie's voice and her music. On this CD, nothing much has changed about her style of compilation, therefore she is consistant, and that's what everyone likes.

Great cd from a young artist! My wife and I both love this album, carrie has a beautiful voice and great lyrics. I would highly recomend this album to anyone who is reading this review...won't be disappointed.

CHEAP AND FAST SERVICE.THE ORDER WAS RECEIVED IN A TIMELY MATTER AND MERCHANDISE WAS NEW. WILL SHOP HERE AGAIN

The CD ... Play On by Carrie Underwood was a great price and in perfect condition. It was sent promptly.

The CD is awesome. Carrie has an amazing voice. I have all of her CD's. I was lucky to get this at an unbelievable price of 5.99 and free shipping! Yeah for EBAY!

My girlfriend hasn't listened to the whole thing but she likes it so far. 8)Not a fan of country but I can tolerate it.

Carrie is my mother's favorite. I had no choice but to buy. I'm sure she will like this cd as much or more than her others.

I love Carrie Underwood in general. She is such a sweet person and a great role model for my daughter. I love her new songs and her whole CD.

Carrie's hot artist-thought $ would be high. $7.99 w/no shipping looked reasonable. It's a gift so haven't listened yet but other disc we bought from her was good.

This young lady came from working pay check to pay check, family life really wasn't that good. And here she is today, showing us that anything is posibable.

I decided to buy this CD on eBay cause it was over $10 cheaper than our local music store and it's a Christmas present for my Mom..

i like there great items an low prices.an i will always shop here for all my cd needs. thanks a lot you have been a great help.

AWESOME DISC!!! Carrie proves once again why she won American Idol. She should definitely have won the ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR AWARD at the CMA's. Taylor is terrific however, she doesn't sound as good on live performances as she does in studio. Carrie, on the other hand, sounds like she does in the recording studio whenever, and wherever she sings. She puts on a very good concert, as well.

I REALLY LIKE THIS CD. CARRIE UNDERWOOD IS AS EXCELLANT ARTIST AND I KNOW THAT ANY CD SHE RELEASES WILL BE TREMENDOUS. I THINK THIS IS HER BEST CD THAT SHE HAS RECORDED TO THIS DATE.

THKS.

Carrie always delivers. Great songs. Most songs on top 40 country. Hit after hit. Great job!!! One of the best yet.
