Speaking of not looking happy. Did you notice the shots of Carrie in the audience, where she looks angry or pissed?
I did. Don't know if she was angry, but I've always had trouble trying to figure out Carrie's personality. She has a beautiful voice and is also physically beautiful. But to me she's kind of cold and empty. The biggest knock on her when she was a contestant last year was that she's kind of a wooden performer. I honestly don't know if these assessments are accurate or fair, but what can ya do. We react the way we react to performers. Usually it's visceral, not conscious.
About mid-way during the top ten, she came out looking like a grown-up Jon-Benet Ramsey. It was creepy. Before that, I liked her alright, but after that I was just totally turned off her. Have never been able to warm back up to her since. Even so, I'm happy for her success.
