I truly liked Carrie earlier this season. She was my favorite to win it all almost from the beginning. Given the point of AI, she definitely deserved to win.
But somewhere along the line in the last four or five weeks, something turned for me. I still can't quite pin it down. As I've posted before, it started the night she came out looking like a grown-up JonBenet Ramsey. That look was repulsive to me.
Carrie is a beautiful young woman with a lovely singing voice. She should do very well in the industry. I'm a fair person and a fan of AI, so I'm even open to buying her CD if there's music on it that I like. But as far as Carrie, the person, is concerned, I find myself disliking her more and more as time goes by.
I see her as plastic, cold, slick and unable to bring the slightest bit of feeling or warmth to her music. I want music to move me -- to touch my heart in that silent place we all have that feels most intensely our joy, sorrow, pain and pleasure. Carrie has had months of appearing on my TV twice a week to move me, but she never has, despite her physical beauty, her lovely smile, and her equally lovely singing voice.
What can I say. We all react differently to performers and to music.
BTW, that cover photo for her single has a very hard, almost masculine look to it. To me, that's the real Carrie.
You know what I really like about you Wolfstar?
You are so direct and opinionated but in a very thoughtful non-aggressive, non-offense manner.
The posts you make are interesting to read and very well thought out and well spoken.
Thank you for that.
