I love Carrie because she always puts on a fun & entertaining show! She's not afraid to stand up for her beliefs and always puts her family & fans first. I love the board because I love talking with fellow fans about Carrie and sharing all the latest news & pics, especially when she's touring. It's fun to share in the joy of her shows with each other!
...We Always Find Each Other

Fifteen years is an incredible milestone! Crazy to think this board has been around so long, & that I've come & gone/lurked around for eleven of those years. Carrie & this board is an amazing. I love Carrie because she is such a kind hearted, loving, & fun person. She is inspirational in her music & through her actions. I love this board because no matter how many times I've come & gone I've always been welcomed back in. It is wonderful to be able to have this place to discuss Carrie over the years. Happy fifteen years!

First I feel in love with Carrie's voice, then I fell in love with Carrie as a person. There are not enough words to describe this woman. She is hardworking, loving, respectful, honest, stands her ground, talented, compassionate, sharing, kind, and so much more. Then you add in how she's a talented entertainer who constantly evolves and surprises.

Congratulations to this board on celebrating fifteen years on Fan Forum. What an amazing accomplishment! Thank you to Jess and Chelle for always making me feel welcomed here when I do have the time to post. It is wonderful to have this place to share my love for this incredible singer with other fans.

Hearing the song, "Jesus, Take the Wheel". Can't remember when & where I first heard it, but I was hooked after that! Oddly, I didn't watch her season of American Idol!
...We Always Find Each Other

I can't remember my first introduction to Carrie, but I feel like it would've been early on. "Jesus, Take the Wheel" probably was the first song I heard & introduced me to Carrie's music. I remember buying the first & second albums together, but can't remember if that was before or after her third one had come out. Lets just say country music introduced me to Carrie & at some point I started paying far better attention & giving her the appreciation she deserves.

I have never seen a full season of Idol, just pieces. Carrie is someone who I did see at times and liked her voice. But it was mostly after that I was exposed more to her music and fell in love completely.

I loved when she starred as Maria in "The Sound of Music"! Do-Re-Mi from The Sound of Music.
...We Always Find Each Other

I really loved the Blown Away era, but the latest era has been impressive showcasing her acrobatic ability.

I especially love any time Carrie and Brad have hosted the CMAs together. Also her many social media posts about her family, she seems like an amazing mother.

Co-host the CMA's with Brad Paisley again!
Record a duets album w/ Brad and/or other artists
Record a song with my favorite Christian band, for KING & COUNTRY
Work with Chris Pine or Aaron Tveit in some capacity
Record another Christmas or gospel album
...We Always Find Each Other

In the future I would like to see Carrie on tour. That may be my biggest wish. But I don't know. I read Mimica's response to this before writing mine & I have to agree with her about singing with Kelly. That needs to happen one day. I wouldn't say no to more duets with Brad Paisley either.

In the future I would love to see Carrie do more duets, especially one with Kelly Clarkson as that would be incredible. More music with her children or inspired with them as that is adorable. It would be nice to see her host the CMAs (or ACMs) solo. I would be curious to hear a duet album in the future and to see who she picked for it (and if we're lucky the why she picks them).

"Jesus, Take the Wheel"
Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
And save me from this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel

"Something in the Water"
Couldn't fight back the tears, so I fell on my knees
Sayin', "God if you're there come and rescue me"
Felt love pourin' down from above
Got washed in the water, washed in the blood

And now I'm singin' all along to "Amazin' Grace"
Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face
Got joy in my heart, angels on my side
Thinkin' about it, I saw the Lord
Gonna look ahead, no turnin' back
Live every day, give it all that I have
Trusted someone bigger than me
Ever since the day that I believed

...We Always Find Each Other


"What Can I Say"
Empty heart filled with regret
I know we were both to blame
And I'm not sorry that it's over
But for the way we let it end
So I said all I had to say
In letters that I threw away

"The Girl You Think I Am"
You think I'm strong, you think I'm fearless
Even when I'm, I'm in my weakest
You always see the best in me when I can't
I wanna be the girl you think I am

shinebrighterxx


"Play On"
Even when the floodgates swing wide open
Never let the current sink you down, no
Even when you're not sure where you're goin'
Swimming through a mess and you can't get out
Just going through the motions, and tryin' not to drown
