I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...Carrie is such a down to earth girl. Sure she is beautiful but is as refreshing as sunshine. I couldn't believe how homespun and country she appeared in her first audition. She was shy and reserved but her voice said the rest. I know the judges were struck by her easy candor yet polished tone. I said she should win from the very first time I laid eyes on her. It has been comforting for me to follow her road to stardom while observing the fact that she was able to remain humble. I believe she has served as an excellent role model to young people of all ages. I appreciate her wholesomeness in today's society. GO CARRIE GO!!
