"Carrie Underwood is the definition of the TOTAL PACKAGE," another fan in the comment section was convinced.

One of my favorite covers from her. She really does make every song sound amazing!!!"
The renewed interest in the song comes just days after Osbourne, 75, appeared onstage for what was reportedly his last-ever live performance, marking the end of an era for the heavy metal rockstar that spanned over five decades.
“Mama, I’m Coming Home” was originally released on the iconic rocker's 1991 album No More Tears, co-written with his longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde and legendary songwriter Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead. The song has long been considered one of Ozzy’s most sentimental and personal works, written as a tribute to his wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne.
