I don't think they will though.
If Cowell has anything to do with her first single...they will give her a big country power-ballad. A Leanne Rimes, or Shania cross-over style hit!
I've not doubt about it.
After that, it's up to her, I guess. But in my mind, that's the niche she fits. And ..and the end of the day, you can't force square plugs into round holes.
If Carrie wins, I hope you're right about the music they'll give her for her first CD. I agree. That's where Carrie would fit best.
