Again, it all comes down to that. It's all in what you personally like. I just put those up so people could see them singing the same song

Sasha.

Carrie is by far more successful in the US, while Kelly is more known world wide. Carrie completely obliterates Kelly's numbers in the US, except for that one Kelly single that sold a lot (hey, guys, success is not measured by ONE single!). I don't know why this is even up for debate.

So if success = being known outside the US, then yes, Kelly is more successful (although it's not even fair competition because country is a local genre).

If success = having the single that sold the most, then yes, Kelly is more successful.

If success = higher album sales on average (in the US), more Grammys, higher grossing tours, then Carrie is more successful.

Just choose what you consider successful and you have your winner.

Most of the time when Carrie's introduced on television it's as "The most successful American Idol in the country".

Cool. Kelly beats her in singles. Carrie beats her in album sales, tour gross, accolades, etc. But it's nice she once held the best selling digital single. Carrie also has the best selling debut album by a female country artist and was the last women, until Adele, to have an album reach 7x Platinum status.

I'm trying to have a discussion, I really don't understand why you're resorting to petty remarks and belting comments.

And awesome, that's great, pretty sure you've noted those things many, many times in this thread. Kelly beats her in all of those things worldwide. Also, Kelly is a part of the highest selling country collaboration of all time. While we're naming random accomplishments, Kelly is the only artist in Billboard history to reach #1 on Hot 100, Pop, Country, HAC, AC, Dance, and Digital.

I love hearing these two sing this live:

And I love that they stanned for each other on the song - Kelly praising Carrie for her incredible performance and Carrie praising Kelly for her performance. Queens
