In a night filled with emotional performances and some great moves courtesy of the So You Think You Can Dance crew (could this be the rumored American Idol/So You Think You Can Dance tour?), Carrie Underwood’s simple arrangement and emotional performance of “Praying For Time” shone brightest on a night of great performances.
I think Annie Lennox’s performance was also truly a show stopper as well, sharing the honors with Underwood for the best performance on a night for a fantastic cause (which you can download via iTunes). I’m obviously biased, as I feel like this performance solidified Carrie Underwood as the most beautiful woman on the planet, which makes it an unfairly beautiful performance for me. Despite my celebrity crushes, take a look and I’m pretty sure you’ll agree that it is a pretty incredible performance, regardless of how you feel about Carrie or country music.
If you’ve ever seen Carrie in concert or followed her on Idol, this performance goes down as one of her greatest televised performances of all time and is definitely worth watching if you missed Idol Gives Back, which you can still donate to through that link.
