Her “Cowboy Casanova” video is still lodged at No. 2 on GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown, but Carrie Underwood’s got a new video on the way.
The clip for “Temporary Home” makes its GAC debut on Thursday, and she believes it will put a new spin on the song, which has caused a few folks to shed tears or at least develop a lump in the ol’ throat. The actual song is built around the stories of three people, all of whom are able to put a positive spin on a rough place in their lives by recognizing the transient nature of their situation. The video works a little differently.
“I feel like a video is a new avenue,” Carrie says. “You can kind of take it somewhere else, because you hear the song, you hear the story, you see pictures in your mind already. If you follow it too closely, what’s the point of having a video? I thought this one was a really good approach to it because it’s kind of like one person on their way somewhere, which is a theme of this song. You’re headed someplace, and then they kind of share these special moments with the characters. But through that, I felt like everybody’s on their own journey, and we all cross paths. So I felt like it was close enough to the story, but I felt like it was just far enough away to where, you know, it kind of provided a different angle.”
The “Temporary Home” debut comes in the middle of a hectic week for Carrie. She performed in the Michael Jackson tribute Sunday at the Grammy Awards, where she picked up the fifth trophy of her career for her duet with Randy Travis on “I Told You So.” Bookending the week, she sings the national anthem this Sunday before the Super Bowl in Miami.

Carrie Underwood is by far the best since Tammy and Shania.An angel on earth
I THINK CARRIE IS A AWSOME SINGER AND SHE SHOULD KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great meesage, song, and video. This song has helped me focus on what is really important in life; god and family. We are so inundated with negativeness and meanness is this world. I think we are really lucky to have an artist like Carrie help sort out the noise and boil down what we really should consider important. She the best looking preacher I ever seen, and I mean that in a positive way!
who cares!!!!!! she is sooooooooooooooooooooooo overrated!!!!!!! she is sooooo stuck up and all of the attention has to be on her or she has to be asured that she will win an award to show, she (cu) is just to into herself go over to movies or do rap or stay in music i really don't care you are so over kill!!!!!!!
Diamond why don't you go back to taylor swift site. You are a very sick person
diamond ur jealously is really funny
you r just stuck up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who cares about you!!!!!!!!! You are jelouse she is better than you!!!!!!!!!!!! she is a awsome singer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you got the wrong artist carrie has a heart
DO YOU
Diamond; go get a life, go get a functioning brain (since you think Carrie sucks and Taylor is amazing), and GET OFF OF THE CARRIE POSTS you jealous, rabid, no-good taylor fan!
Carrie's amazing and has a bigger heart than you!
I find it remarkable that the Taylor tweens make comments that when an article comes out about Taylor that the CU fans come out and say hateful things about her. So…the shoe is on the other foot. At least Carrie can sing on key which is a lot more than we can say about Taylor
This is a powerful video, Carrie's finest video yet! Well done!
Unbelievable video!! Carrie is the absolute best (Taylor who?)
Simply put — it's absolutely breathtaking, beautiful, awesome, amazing, I do not know what else to say about this song and video.
Wow!! This is Carrie's best video yet!! This song has such a great message!! I think this is the best song that Carrie has ever recorded!! Thank you Carrie for this beautiful song & video that has become my favorite!!
What a tearjerker!!! This video is so beautifully done and Carrie's acting ability is really coming through. This song seems like real grammy material. Congratulations to Carrie and all that worked on this amazing video.
Play On is definitely Carrie's best CD. What I like the most about Carrie is that she continues to get better with each new CD. The songs on this CD are so good. I have spent many hours in my car listening and enjoying this CD. I have become a big fan of hers. I'm so glad she isn't afraid to talk about GOD, and how she believes in him. I believe that after we die, we will see our loved ones who have gone on before us. I think Carrie should be really proud of how she's presented herself to others, and I wish her nothing but the best for the future. Think of what a good mother she's going to be. I wish we had more people who were so normal and stable.
This is by far the best video I have seen in a long….time. Maybe ever. Carrie, is a true Angel sent to us from Heaven. She is so gorgeous and has a voice that is beyond words. She can sing anything and her acting was simply outstanding and so believable. This song is so near and dear to Carrie's heart and she has that in the right place. It should debut very high and this should push her over to #1 on Billboard Charts. What a beautiful song, that she wrote and what a wonderful delivery of the best video today!!!!! Heartwrenching, but also lets all of us know there is still alot of hope as well. She is an amazing artist…….
This is an absolutely beautiful video. I don't normally buy videos, but I bought this one. It just touched me. My dad passed away several years ago and I did not get that chance to say goodbye, but I know I will see him again….this is just our temporary home!
I have used a box of puffs, such a beautiful video and it touched me so much in real life, but there is a lot of hope in there too. I think this a great video to a beautiful song. I love them both.
yo what up and don't be mean
I had to wait about 20 minutes to stop crying enough to comment!! I believe this is the best video I have ever seen !!! Carrie is so , soooo talented.–sing in strong, clear 'bell tones"—, host a show, act, and boy can she ever communicate the songs she sings !! Just BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!
u r such a baby do u like her or sumthing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the best video I think I've ever seen. I rarely remember a video this beautiful with so much emotion. Carrie just never ceases to amaze!
i love it Carrie, another great video.. this was the best one yet
OMG! This is truly a beautiful video-I teared up. Thank you Carrie!
i think this might be the best one yet.
its on youtube, gabriel
I cried when I first saw it and still do everytime I see it. IT makes me think of my late "Pap" as well as my Dad who turns 80 this year.
Where did u see the video at because I can’t find it
just sad but beautiful so convincing carrie is just amazing this video is excellent one of the best
The video is wonderful. The song was so sad yet beautiful and the video takes it in another direction completely. I appreciate the song so much more now and I think the video was done really well. Carrie should be proud of this video. Everyone who took part should be really proud. Classy. Beautiful. A message that can mean something completely different to each and every person.
My family and I watched this video together and my Mom and sister was crying, my Dad turned away with tears in his eyes—and even though I think I am a tough guy–I got tears too–especially at the end. My Grandad passed on a few months ago–and it hit me hard. This is a great video–great vocals, message delivery and in good taste. My Dad said it is true—this is our temporary home. I loved the video and song. Carrie's acting in this video is so convincing–it makes you believe. GREAT JOB CARRIE!!!!!
