After the smash album of Some Hearts, expectations are running higher than the clouds for Carrie's second album. It is, then, to be expected that some will be disappointed with "So Small". But just some. Carrie couldn't have delivered a better song for her debut song. If you had any reservations about this girl's vocal range, question no longer. The woman belts this one out! My only complaint is the song resembles a pop ballad that has strayed into Nashville. But somehow Ms. Underwood makes me forget that. This one was just smashed over the fence. In just three days of airplay, already almost 6 million people have heard it. Way to go, Carrie!
