Before He Cheats

Underwood does a "dark" version of her Song of the Year-nominated track — dark, and off-key. As a performer, Underwood still relies on her American Idol bag of tricks—lots of arm waving and vocal gymnastics. But give it up for the background dancers, who are not only ripping off Stomp!, but ripping off Stomp! in S&M gear. Impressive.
