Eligible Work:"Some Hearts" (Artista)

Billboard Album Review- "Some Hearts"- November 12, 2005:
"American Idol" winners have proved to be an inconsistent sell. Season one victor Kelly Clarkson delivered as promised and is today, a global pop superstar. Ruben Studdard was an obvious one-trick adult R&B pony, while Fantasia is a deserving R&B staple. Season four victor Carrie Underwood never hid her country overtures, and her heartfelt "Jesus, Take the Wheel" is already seducing that format. Pop release "Some Hearts," a cover of the 2002 Kelly Levesque tune, is a surprising delight, highlighting an expert vocal sans the singer's propensity to scream. And it does not betray her folksy roots. During the days when Faith Hill and Shania Twain were accessible at top 40, this would not present a problem, but today, the style is a tough sell at mainstream radio. Whatever the outcome, in terms of material and performance, Underwood is a clear winner.
