Mama, I’m Coming Home (originally by Ozzy Osbourne), Carrie Underwood — Carrie performs a lovely rendition of this classic rock balladic number. Her powerhouse vocals take it to a whole new level, and while she pays respect to the original version, she makes it her own here. The emotional lyrics describe a feeling of yearning and return, and Carrie’s voice carried every bit of that emotion, making the performance incredibly touching.

Written as a rock ballad, the melody gets a new yet familiar spin with Carrie’s country sensibility. Her voice glides effortlessly from quiet, tender passages to powerful notes high in her range, producing a performance that is hard to resist. Then, her deeper register lends its shade of emotion to the song, making it personally easy to hear its sadness, hope, and love.

Carrie’s silver thread to the music is what makes her performances indelible. When she sings her heart out, it’s clear she means every single word. She melds rock and country in a way the crowd finds organic and refreshing. Even those who have never heard the original song can’t help but be swept up in her sublime vocal delivery.

That same energy flows into Church Bells, Carrie’s most intense country song, perhaps ever. If Mama, I’m Coming Home tells a story of longing, Church Bells paints a darker one — one of strife, of strength, of triumph in the end. The song tells the story of a woman who is caught in an abusive marriage but manages to escape. Carrie does such a great job painting the story .
