I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...of the way Carrie sings her music. she sings it with a passion and she has fun with it. one thing i've heard is you have to have feeling to go with your music and Carrie has that. I especially like her songs because they are about real life. like All American Girl and Jesus Take the Wheel. her songs are an inspiration for me. I recently gave one of my close friends a copy or Carnival Ride for her birthday and she nearly squeezed the life out of me she was so happy. she and the rest of my friends find inspiration as well and if my friends can find something in it than anyone can.
