Fan Forum Music Battle

The Management Team have declared war between the music boards to find out which songs stand out the most and the Carrie Underwood board is participating!

For the next month you can discuss which songs you would like to submit for each of the categories. You can enter as many of the categories as you like but it is only one song per category. A song can be entered into as many categories as you wish. Please note: The song you submit must be their own, and not be made famous by someone or something else. The only exception to this rule is for the cover and collaboration categories.

At the end of the month I will set up polls so that everyone can vote for their favourite song in each category.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask Rae.

The Categories:
• Best Love Song
• Best Break-up Song
• Best Ballad
• Best Single
• Best Empowering Song
• Best Fan Favourite Song
• Best Cover Song
• Best Collaboration
• Best Music Video
• Best Use of Colour in a Music Video
• Best Use of Special Effects in a Music Video
• Best Concept Music Video

When you have decided which song you would like to submit please provide a link to the song so that everyone can listen to it during the voting process. I would appreciate it if you use the following format:

Thanks for opening this thread Rae

[Mo Nighean Donn]

Thanks Rae!

Time goes by so fast, it feels like we just did this last year. Hope we get posters stopping by with what their choices are, this is a busy time of year with so many on vacation or busy with other things.

I gotta think about what I want my choices to be this year, the Storyteller Album wasn't released yet when we did this last year so need to think.

[where we belong]

Thanks Rae

Oh yes. The Storyteller wasn't released yet so maybe some other songs will get chosen at the end here

I'm terrible at making up my mind so I should start thinking

[shinebrighterxx]

new music helps as you have & can change answers easier but makes it harder too

Thought I'd stop by with some thoughts I'd love to suggest "Clock Don't Stop" somewhere but I don't know where it fits

• Best Love Song Mama's Song, Something in the Water, Heartbeat, What I Never Knew I Always Wanted
• Best Break-up Song Before He Cheats, Dirty Laundry
• Best Ballad she's got a few I Know You Wont? I may have a soft spot for it even more since Kelly covered it because she thinks it is amazing otherwise I'd suggest things from her latest album as I really love the ballads on it
• Best Empowering Song So Small, Play On
• Best Collaboration I Told You So (with Randy Travis), Remind Me (Brad Paisley)
• Best Use of Special Effects in a Music Video Good Girl?
• Best Concept Music Video Two Black Cadillacs & Blown Away come to mind straight away for this one

[~Leonie~]

I'll have to think about it too

But for lovesongs we atleast need Heartbeat to vote for or what I never knew I always wanted

[shinebrighterxx]

Heartbeat is an obvious new choice but WINKIAW is beautiful I prefer it to Heartbeat personally

[where we belong]

I need Heartbeat to be somewhere though

[Mo Nighean Donn]

Thanks for sharing your choices Chelle!

I love What I Never Knew I always Wanted, but Heartbeat stood out to me. It is tough to chose just one though, this is going to be tough

[a fine mess]

I love Heartbeat and do need it in one of those categories!

[~Leonie~]

I think I'm agreeing on Heartbeat!

I love Somethin' Bad for collaboration

Before He Cheats won last year for Best Break up Song. She has had other Break up songs, but that one is so well known, it is one of her most popular songs out there, so part of me wants to chose that one again. It is a classic Break up song, nothing can really compare to it.

[~Leonie~]

It's the most famous and it's great!
I just love the others so much, but we have better chance to win with BHC

[Mo Nighean Donn]

She has so many great songs, the hardest part is narrowing it down to choosing just one each category At least we have all month to think about it.
