Carrie Underwood's "Before he cheats" is an engaging ballad. Forget for a moment that Underwood doesn't exactly have Nashville credentials (then again,neither does the Aussie Keith Urban), "Before he cheats" is good cheesy fun.

"Before he cheats" is a revenge fantasy of the wronged woman taking it out on her man's car. Tires get slashed, windows get smashed. Cathartic aggression. Anyone who's been betrayed can understand the anger.

"Before he cheats" is American Idol-friendly country music. It's good campy fun.
