LStephens11 15 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 This isn't confirmed just so everybody knows. The NHL is probably in negotiations with several artists right now and Carrie is one of those artists. They don't announce who is performing for at least another 3 weeks and the performer could change. NFL* I hope this is an entire troll post before I drag you How is this trolling? I don't think she's very big outside of the country market even though she's had some crossover success. There are lot of rock and hip hop/R&B fans among other genres that are big NFL fans and might not know her at all. If she's had some massive success I'm unaware of for some reason, please enlighten me. 2011 Golden Globe-nominee, Best Original Song Six Grammys out of 10 nominations; second Country artist ever to have won Best New Artist Grammy, 2007. 2008 Grand Ole Opry member inductee Almay makeup spokeswoman 23-time nominee of the Academy of Country Music Fourth highest selling artist in the United States who have debuted in the past decade, behind Taylor Swift, 50 Cent & Michael Buble 16 million albums worldwide 30 million records worldwide Best-selling American Idol alum 4 #1 albums on the country charts out of 4 released studio albums 3 #1 albums on the Billboard 200 all genre album chart out of 4 released said albums Out of 18 released records to country radio, all but 6 have reached #1; the rest have reached #2, #4 & #7.

Whispering 18,865 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I get what you're saying about how about 98% of the viewers are American and Carrie is a huge artist in America and is a favourite to sing the anthem at football games. But the fact remains at the end of the day that her hit catalogue is extremely limited to the point where only her superfans will recognise every song she sings. Normally, only legendary acts perform because their songs are well known and the audience can get behind that. Most of that audience will be men and I guarantee they know next to nothing abour Carrie other than she was on American Idol. . I fail to see how the audience can be excited for an act when they have no idea what's going to come out of their mouth. She's hardly going to have amazing choreography or anthem type songs either. She's a ballad singer. How's that going to work at the Superbowl? Superfans? Anyone who has ever listened to country music in any way over the last decade is going to have heard her songs. People who have listened to HAC radio will have heard several of her songs. Bruno Mars isn't a legendary act and he performed last year. My mom, grandparents aunts and uncles "thought he had a nice voice", but had never heard of a single song that he sung. They will all know who Carrie is and they will know many of her songs. Unlike Pop, 50% of country radio's audience is men and Carrie is played on country radio stations like Katy Perry is played on Pop radio. 46% of the Super Bowl's audience will be females. Many of Carrie's hits have been upbeat songs. She is not a ballad singer. Dancing and choreography is not a requirement for performers for the half-time show. Otherwise, they wouldn't of had people like Bruce Springsteen as the half-time act. Carrie will bring some people on to do duets with her...the acts usually do that to spice things up a bit. Then there are the dancers and stage effects, etc. She isn't going to stand in one spot, in an evening gown and sing 5 ballads in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Carrie's albums have sold progressively worse as time has gone on, so her recent work has become less and less well known. I fail to see how the audience can be excited for an act when they have no idea what's going to come out of their mouth. She's hardly going to have amazing choreography or anthem type songs either. She's a ballad singer. How's that going to work at the Superbowl? She's a vocalist AND a rocker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLLMzr3PFgk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJgoHgpsb9I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaSy8yy-mr8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx9PJfrhwFI Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveandMagic 1,731 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I don't much care for Country music and don't know much about Carrie, but her resumé seems very impressive and therefore I think she is a fine choice for the Superbowl. She's safe (family friendly), well liked (non-controversial), and has hits. She will probably cater her show for the needs of the Superbowl so she'll probably play her more energetic songs. I do live for her song, "Two Black Cadillacs" though. Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
