I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...Carrie is such a sincere person. For my daughter's 7th birthday I bid and won tickets and passes to Carries November 12th concert @ McKenzie arena in Chattanooga TN and also her sound check. While in the sound check me and my child got to meet Carrie, this was just days after she had won her first CMA female vocalist award. She was wonderful with my child. She took the time that my child expected of her, she got down on her level, asked if she could have her picture made with my daughter and was wonderful to her in everyway. She was not in a hurry AT ALL, if she was she did not show it toward her or us and she made one little girl the happiest I've ever seen her. She too (my child) was blessed with an amazingly awsome voice (a gift from God) and she wishes to some day be a country music singer, or so she says. We are truly blessed. Pardon me Carrie, but when people hear her they say that she sounds like a little Martina. When we met Carrie my child looked up at her and said, "one day I'm going to be up there on that stage with you, and one day I'm going to win at the CMA's." Carrie was surprised I think and said, "well, someday I hope I see you there", putting her arm around Brooke'. I have met alot of singers in my life, Reba, Neal McCoy, Tim McGraw, Diamond Rio, and George, they were all great, however none of them were so wonderful with my child and made her feel like she was the most important thing at that moment. She will never forget that! EVER!!!!!!!!!!! Go Carrie. We LOVE you! Keep up the good work. Thank you Melissa and Brooke' McMahan, Cleveland TN
