Goes to prove what was said, its the "psychological" aspect of celebrities. They all "seem" larger than life, lots of folks fawning and falling over them all time, when you actually see them up close and personal...not only do some have feet of clay, they're not very tall! If she looks tall on stage, remember, most stages are already 10/20 feet off the ground, closest seats lower so they are looking up so to speak. If she wears boots, that's anywhere from 2-5 additional inches, not including lifts built in.
Not surprised about Carrie. Very few girl singers are above 5'6", if that. Can only think of a couple.

i can't believe that she's only 5 foot 3 she looks so much taller on stage! Dawn says on 8/Dec/09
Hey just to let you all know something that I found out, If you go to Madam Trusouds wax Museum IN PERSON,( they're ALL OVER THE WORLD ) she makes replicas of celebrities out of wax and they use exact measurments from the actual celebrity, because the celebrity has to go there to be measured,and they match hair color eye color ect. You will all be VERY suprised like I was, when you see how small all the women and men in Hollywood really are. TV make them look so much bigger. I stood next to Joan Rivers, Beyonce, Brittney Spears, Penelepe Cruz, and even old time Hollywood Stars from back in the 50's and they are all no taller than 5'5. Im 5'1 and my daughter that was with me is 5'5,and she had flat shoes on. The wax celebrities had heels on, and were only a few inches taller than my daughter, thats how I knew they were only about 5'5. Alot of them were shorter than that. The only one who was really tall was Angelina Jolie, she was about 6'0 with heels, and Cameran Dias was also like 5'7 WITH OUT HEELS. So go see for your self. They are all short. I found out too, that they prefere the celebrities to be short, so that its easier to match them to the set, and to other celebs. Brad says on 6/Nov/09
As listed. Mariah owns her big. Vanessa says on 17/Sep/09
5ft 3.2, you say 5'3" is short, but not by much. Sorry but I disagree. 5'3" is NOT short AT ALL. The average height for UK women is around 5'4" so how does being one inch under the average qualify as short? Short for a woman is 5'0" and under.
Big T, I've seen images of Carrie with Ciara and Mariah. You think she looks barely 5'0"? I disagree. She IS at their eyelines and if Ciara and Mariah are the 5'8" and 5'7" listed for them on this website, Carrie looks 5'2" to 5'3" there.
This 5'3" listing for Carrie sounds good to me. Some sources say she is 5'4", but I don't think she is. 5'2" to 5'3" I say. :) :) :) :) :) Phil says on 30/Jul/09
On the Oprah show, Carrie stood next to Oprah and looked completely average.
Riley, I totally agree! Riley says on 29/Jul/09
she might be 5'3 but she has the best legs ever. jaden says on 2/Jul/09
to tell you the truth 5ft 3in is not short at all its just i am a tall 12 year old at 5ft 7.5in me says on 8/Feb/09
lol, so then ryan seacrest isnt anything more than a barely 5'7, if he's lucky Jlee says on 25/Jan/09
When I FIRST watched American Idol and saw her, I actually THOUGHT that she was five ten. I don't know why, but I thought she was tall 5 ft 3.2 says on 19/Jan/09
5'3" really isn't that short at all. It IS short, but not by much. She shouldn't worry about her height. If she was like, 5'1" and under, then I'd understand. I'm just a tad taller than her, and I only feel short when I'm standing next to 5'6"+ girls. Josh says on 16/Jan/09
Alex says on 28/May/07
She admits to 5'3 so she's not anything over 5'3.5. Plus she does look about average height for a female. You still have girls who are 5'4-5'5 and claim to be short which makes you think they're 5'2 or under.
Thats so true Alex and btw Romo looks about 6'1 Britt says on 22/Nov/08
5'3" is def. right. I am 5'1" and she wasn't much taller. Big T says on 13/Nov/08
She stood in between Ciara and Mariah Carey and wasn't even close to their eyelines. She looked barely 5 foot. Heightgal says on 8/Nov/08
Carrie in platforms and 5" heels was the same height than 5f1 Fergie aka Stacy Ferguson. Click Here WAAAAAHHHH! FREAK says on 17/Oct/08
Okay, until I saw the JSU2C video, I thought she was 5' 8"! I was a bit off!!! CarrieRocks says on 13/Oct/08
I am only five and I haven't grown in a long time! Carrie is perfect the way she is, she is so beautiful. FiveOne says on 27/Sep/08
5'3" seems about right. Carrie is a beautiful girl. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being less than the average height. Phil says on 20/Aug/08
5'3" isn't really that short (well, for girls), it's only short when compared to 5'8"+ people. It's a height that is not quite short (but is short in certain situations), and just below average. It's a weird height in that it straddles between short and average, but yeah, it seems short compared to the general population, including males. Marissa says on 18/Aug/08
Hey I'm only 5'3 and I will be LUCKY to get to 5'4 and I have no problem with it (I'm 15). I've been short all my life and the worst thing I've EVER heard from people is "Haha little girl". At least I've never been called a giant or godzilla or some other horrible name my tall friends have been called =( . It doesn't matter if you're short or tall, learn to rock whatever you are! That's why I LOVE to hear about celebs who are short, it shows anybody who likes to make fun of short people that some of the most successful people are short (Carrie Underwood is a PERFECT example-she's a megastar!). Look at all the gymnasts in the Olympics! You know that Shawn Johnson girl on Team USA? She's 16 and 4'9 and she's in the OLYMPICS! Don't ever let height stop you from doing anything! (That goes for tall people, too!) anonymous says on 2/Aug/08
hey rocky! were you talkin about elves? lol that hurts_ im 5'2" myself and i'm okay with it, carrie underwood is a great girl and she has great talent thats whats more important don't you think? ..and btw i think she's 5'2" lol she just upgraded it with an inch cause it sound a lil bit goood than 5'2" lol Phil says on 23/Jul/08
aliciagirl, 160 cm/5'3" is NOT really short, because it is only 1.6" shorter than the female average of 5'4.6". 5'3" is sometimes short, but most times, it's 5'2" & less. And the 'normal' range is not 165/5'5"-170/5'7" cm, the common range is more like 5'4"-5'6". paige says on 30/Jun/08
I'm 5'1.5" we'll talk short when someone can beat that. And i'm 23. aliciagirl says on 23/May/08
160 cm is really short, i think normal is like 165-170 .. Kendra says on 20/May/08
Grace83, For me is the other way, i look 5'7 but I'm 5'9 Holly says on 20/May/08
Rocky, I'm 5'3.I think 5'3 is short and 5'7 for a guy is short too.. TJ says on 19/May/08
J.Lee, I think you're nuts. The average height for a white girl is not 5'8. Not in a million years. Rocky says on 18/May/08
5'3'' is not short, just like 5'7'' isn't short for a guy. If you've ever been to Wal-Mart at 3 AM, there's tons of people there who are 5'2'' or so (men too btw) and weigh 280 lbs. Alex says on 23/Jan/08
Romo is 6'1-6'1 1/2 probably. Could be she was in heels maybe was why and then he could be 6'2. El says on 20/Nov/07
5'3" is right, but there's this tabloid page I found that lists her as 5'4"
Click Here Mimi says on 19/Oct/07
Gosh I thought that she was 5'7
She looks so tall! Her legs are really long and thin!!!! I want her legs! Kim says on 30/May/07
5'3 sounds exactly right to me. I bet she would be right at that mark if she was measured at the doctor's office. Maya says on 29/May/07
The problem is that nowadays girls tend to compare themselves to 5'10" supermodels, and that makes even the average-sized girls think they're short. Alex says on 28/May/07
She admits to 5'3 so she's not anything over 5'3.5. Plus she does look about average height for a female. You still have girls who are 5'4-5'5 and claim to be short which makes you think they're 5'2 or under. Cole says on 27/Dec/06
"Editor Rob says on 13/May/06
Ace Young, who was in this season claimed: "I’m 6’1" and is made to look short by his 6ft 7 brother."
I saw Ace Young in person, and he is definitely not 6'1". He was with his brother, and his brother was indeed towering, but Ace was the same height as me, about 5'10". roxanne says on 7/Nov/06
extra at her concert she is 5'3" flat Caleb Beeson says on 13/Oct/06
I got to meet carrie one time at a concert and when i gave her a hug carrie was at my chest cuz im 5'11 Editor Rob says on 13/May/06
Ace Young, who was in this season claimed: "I’m 6’1" and is made to look short by his 6ft 7 brother. Justine says on 3/Apr/06
5'4" and 5'5" are about the same thing, so either way shes about the same height, theres no need to argue over one inch Kats says on 8/Jul/05
Ha ha ha ha, 5'5 1/2? Maybe with certain heels. Something about her seems short, but she is probably 5'4, which is average. Lawrence says on 13/Jun/05
Judging by her body frame, the height from her waist to her neck and her legs, Carrie (the cutie) is 5'5 1/2" definitely. JS says on 27/May/05
Hmm, true but I'd still knock her down at least a half-inch. I think that'd be pretty safe. JS says on 27/May/05
Me neither, she was 1.5-2" shorter than Seacrest in heels and he is not 5'9" (he could use a change too, see comments)
I'd venture to say 5'2.5 - 5'3
[Editor Rob: sometimes the angles on Idol can de-emphasise height differences...she is harder to pin down because sometimes with her jeans covering Big heels] |
