I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...Carrie has an amazing voice and I love her songs. Her music has touched me and i will continue to buy her albums. I was convinced that Carrie was a star from the moment i saw her on american idol. The awards that Carrie has won just show how talented this lady is. I just hope that Carrie can come do a show in South Africa as i would love to see her live. Carrie also comes across as a lovely down to earth gal. Keep singing and doing what you do.
