Pulse New Country Challenge (Week of November 17)

[S4C]

Triumphing over arguably 3 of the biggest names in country music and taking 25% of the votes was Carolina Rain's "Weight of the World." They move on to face 4 new songs, including a Christmas single from Carrie*.

*I might regret doing this later on when Carrie (or another Christmas song) wins three challenges in a row, but I figured on including Christmas songs officially going for adds on their respective weeks, and then having a Christmas Country Challenge around Christmas.

[LISTEN] Carolina Rain - "Weight of the World"
[LISTEN] Carrie Underwood - "Do You Hear What I Hear"
[LISTEN] Emerson Drive - "Belongs To You"
[LISTEN] George Strait - "River of Love"
[LISTEN] Martina McBride - "Ride"

Voting ends November 23rd - check top for time.

Last week was a tough call, but this week isn't in the least bit. Carolina Rain all the way. It won't matter though, b/c with Carrie's x-mas song included I'm sure it'll win in a landslide.

Carrie! Even though it's old...It's amazing. And her voice sounds incredible! :)
I do love Martina's song though...

[Minimalism]

Hm, pretty uneventful choices this week. I guess I'd go with George Strait. Though admittedly repetitive, it's bouncy and charming, and is pleasant to listen to.

Martina's is melodically solid, but it's so drenched in cliches, I can barely get through the whole song.

I usually like Carolina Rain, but I'm not really feeling this one, it's rather boring to me.

Also, what happened with Emerson Drive? That must be one of the blandest tracks yet this year, and that's saying something.

I think Carrie's "Do You Hear What I Hear" is the Christmas song of the season.
