Here's another version of There's a Place for Us by Sonohra. Pretty good.

Quitter, imho, will the next single. I'll give it a 85% chance. It's just fun and catchy and upbeat. It also symbolizes her life. You know, keeps on meeting jerks(Romo, Crawford, etc) and now finally found the "right" one. Country radio will eat it up. Ok, it's wisful thinking, but I think I'm right.

'Quitter' is the only logical choice for the fifth single. You don't release a song about getting married and then follow-it-up with a boy basher or song about breaking up.

I liked the Sonohra best so far, other than the original, of course!!

'Quitter' is the only logical choice for the fifth single. You don't release a song about getting married and then follow-it-up with a boy basher or song about breaking up. Why not?! Why should artists be forced to only release songs about how they feel at a present moment in time? So what do you think Carrie should do, only release happy, upbeat songs for the rest of her carrer (unless, Heaven forbit, she gets a divorce or something terrible happens to her)? I certainly do not want that to happen. It would be extremely difficult for me to continue supporting Carrie. I can handle a few lovey dovey songs every now and then but not constantly. I think part of the charm of Carrie is that she can cover a wide range of topics in her songs, and I do not want that to be changing. I don't want Carrie to become an artist whose music becomes cheesy after marriage. In my opinion, Quitter is way too polarizing and would not suit country radio. To be brutally honest, I consider Quitter to be a throwaway Taylor Swift song. And, to make things worse, Carrie's voice is really altered on this song, trying to make it "cute", I guess. But, it drives me nuts! But hell, at this point, it wouldn't surprise me what Carrie decides to release next. I've said this before, but I can handle anything but Quitter. This Time deals with a very similar topic but is, in my opinion, much less cheesy and less polarizing, but I still wouldn't pick that song. I could even handle Play On, which would be my second least favorite. But, I'm holding on to hope that one of the two gems, SWISLY or WCIS, will be next. Who gives a damn that they are break-up songs. They are incredible songs. And, that should be all that matters!!

Was "Starts With Goodbye" really a fan-favorite from Some Hearts, like IKYW was from Carnival Ride and SWISLY from Play On? I would put Unapologize instead of SWISLY because of the pop-factor of the other two songs you mentioned... I mean, not releasing 3 fan-faves such as SWG, IKYW and Unapologize because it's a bit too pop for country is excusable, but SWISLY is a country masterpiece and therefore, there are no excuses in the world for it not being released at all!!

I have a bad feeling that "Change" is gonna be the next single and the album highlight will once again (for the 3rd time) be overlooked as a single... "Starts With Goodbye", "I Know You Won't", and now "Someday When I Stop Loving You" :( Was "Starts With Goodbye" really a fan-favorite from Some Hearts, like IKYW was from Carnival Ride and SWISLY from Play On? Well I just meant in my opinion. SWG, IKYW and SWISLY are my 3 favorite songs off of each album and I would hate to see the trend of my favorites not getting released :( I would put Unapologize instead of SWISLY because of the pop-factor of the other two songs you mentioned... I mean, not releasing 3 fan-faves such as SWG, IKYW and Unapologize because it's a bit too pop for country is excusable, but SWISLY is a country masterpiece and therefore, there are no excuses in the world for it not being released at all!! Well, "Unapologize" is my least favorite from Carrie on "Play On" so I wouldn't include it

I did not say she should be forced into releasing songs about how she presently feels. But I can't help but believe that same logic was key in her releasing 'Mama's Song'. Settle down, plz. That's your opinion. Her labels not taking into consideration your opinion on the song, and they won't not release 'Quitter' just because you don't like it. I don't hate 'Someday When I Stop Loving You' or 'What Can I Say'. In fact, I would have rather seen one of them released over 'Mama's Song'. But I don't see them releasing two ballads in a row, first of all. And I also don't think they'd release a boy-basher/break-up song. That's just how I see it going down. If we get a fifth, I expect it to be 'Quitter'.

I don't get the whole "too pop" for country thing...Carrie has basically said that she is a country artist and will not go pop, so if a song is on her album, then I assume she feels it is country. If she's gonna put these awesome "pop" songs on her album and not release them because they're "pop" then maybe she shouldn't include them on her album lol.

Eh, is Unapologize really that big of a fan fave this era? As polarizing as Quitter is, I think it's actually a bigger fave (along with WCIS) as compared to Unapologize. (Am only referring to the more pop/HAC ones here)

I, personally, don't find 'Someday When I Stop Loving' to be the fan favorite from this album. I'd say 'Songs Like This', 'What Can I Say', and maybe even 'Quitter' are definitely ahead of that one in terms of popularity among the remaining album tracks.

I would say the fan favorite is "Unapologize". But the majority want "Someday" released cause we know it will be a smash.

It started out kinda rocky. But, once she got into she got into it. Loved it. I spy Dudley swaying her hands mid-air at the 2:13 mark. Good eye! But I'm sure that my accessorizing with a blinking "LegendCarrie Underwood RULEZZZZ" tiara helped. It was a subtle touch, and I thought I looked quite fetching. I hope that leilamaurizia is guessing right about Darius covering a Carrie song. That's a duet that I would like to see. The overall lineup looks great, and the special is looking quite promising. "Quitter" strikes me as this era's fan favorite, or at least the song with the most vocal fans. I, on the other hand, can only tolerate it if it is accompanied by the visual of Carlton dancing. And I think that one single that clearly reflects Carrie's personal life should be enough of an indulgence. It's well past time to just release the best songs. In this case, in my view, that should mean either "Someday..." or "What Can I Say."

^ hahahaha, the Carlton dance - never gets old I want Quitter also! I think it will be very big on radio and it fits Carrie's life also!

Awww! Sorry to those who had tickets, especially those who also had to get plane tickets
This is the first time she's ever cancelled/ rescheduled a show in her entire 5-year career, save for that rodeo gig which she cancelled for personal reasons. Kinda amazing when you think about it, especially considering the kind of singing she does.
And it reminds of that concert she did when she was so sick she couldn't reach the high notes. She offered autographs for everyone in the audience to make up for it. Ah, the days of the long lines for autographs after shows. We got some great stories out of those. A fan even spilled a drink on Carrie... ahem, ahem.

Ahhh man...Why did it have to be my show...:( It had a feeling that something like this could happen. She had time off but was still traveling to Canada and OK.

She once said, that every time she goes home, she gets sick. She thinks it's because it's the one place that she totally relaxes, and then everything catches up with her.

It's well past time to just release the best songs. In this case, in my view, that should mean either "Someday..." or "What Can I Say." I completely agree. I really don't care whether Carrie's singles properly reflect her current personal life, I care whether they are good songs. Heck, she released Undo It shortly after her engagement, so I don't think she particularly cares either. I think Mama's Song was her personal song of the era. I'm going to go ahead and say that this era will be a huge disappointment for me in terms of singles if neither WCIS or SWISLY gets released. Those two have been lauded by fans (and critics, at least for SWISLY) as the best songs on the album since it was first released. It would be a real shame for those songs to go unheard by the general public. Though, I'm still expecting we won't see a release for WCIS, because of its Grammy submission. If it hadn't been submitted already, I'd be first in line on the "WCIS is next!" train.

In this case, in my view, that should mean either "Someday..." or "What Can I Say." I'm not sure about Quitter being a favorite...I made polls for the next single on the Fan Club message boards, and on Carriefans.com, and "What Can I Say" won the Fan Club poll and "Someday..." was not too far behind. On Carriefans, "What Can I Say" is in the lead with 43 votes, and "Someday..." is a close second with 41 votes. On the Fan Club homepage, there is a poll for favorite song on the album. This is the order: 1. Temporary Home (3,225 votes) 2. Undo It (2,319 votes) 3. Cowboy Casanova (2,082 votes) 4. What Can I Say (1,324 votes) 5. Change (1,000 votes) 6. Quitter (888 votes) 7. Someday When I Stop Loving You (827 votes) 8. Mama's Song (746 votes) 9. Unapologize (741 votes) 10. Songs Like This (608 votes) 11. Look At Me (396 votes) 12. Play On (389 votes) 13. This Time (370 votes) I guess "Quitter" is more popular than SWISLY...I just happen to see more people being vocal on their opinion that SWISLY should be a single rather than "Quitter"...

Here's another version of There's a Place for Us by Sonohra. Pretty good. I love this, Carrie's is still better though! I hope that she can do a video for it as well.

First off, I said it was the only logical choice and therefore that it would make the most sense to release as the fifth. I did not say she should be forced into releasing songs about how she presently feels. But I can't help but believe that same logic was key in her releasing 'Mama's Song'. Yes, Mama's Song was released because it is a very personal song for Carrie. I can forgive Carrie for doing this every once in a while, but she shouldn't be doing this on a constant basis. Therefore, I don't see why Quitter should be next just because it fits into her life. And besides, I do not recall Carrie ever stating that Quitter was a personal song for her like she has with Mama's Song on many occasions. ? lol. I am sorry if you do not like what I have to say, but I said nothing wrong. In fact, I think it's even against the rules to tell someone to "settle down" or "be quiet." I am allowed to my opinion just as much as you are. And, that is my opinion of Quitter, and I won't apologize or sugarcoat it. That's your opinion. Her labels not taking into consideration your opinion on the song, and they won't not release 'Quitter' just because you don't like it. I don't hate 'Someday When I Stop Loving You' or 'What Can I Say'. In fact, I would have rather seen one of them released over 'Mama's Song'. But I don't see them releasing two ballads in a row, first of all. And I also don't think they'd release a boy-basher/break-up song. That's just how I see it going down. If we get a fifth, I expect it to be 'Quitter'. I know the label won't be releasing to me, and if they choose to release Quitter, it's their right. But, this fan will be very upset (and I know I won't be the only one). Dudley, I wouldn't say Quitter is the fan favorite. Quitter may be the favorite on this particular forum (the vast majority of the people on this forum seem to be Pop fans, so I think that's why Quitter is such a favorite on this site). On Carrie's fan sites, I would say SWISLY and WCIS are both well-ahead of Quitter in terms of fan popularity (and a poll on carriefans shows that). Quitter may be 3rd in line; however, I think there are just as many people who hate the song as there are who love it. There is no middle ground with Quitter, much like Undo It, except I think Quitter is a bit more extreme. And, some Carrie fans may love the song, but I just honestly don't see the country audience being thrilled about this song on the radio. Carrie fans are very diverse and like different things. On Some Hearts, many fans wanted Starts With Goodbye to be released. On Carnival Ride, many fans wanted Get Out of This Town. Both of those songs were not released as singles. They were just simply not right for country radio. My opinion is Quitter belongs in that category. And, I hate the "you can't follow a ballad with a ballad" argument. Are some forgetting Just A Dream and I Told You So? Both did very well. I doubt most people even notice things like this. Do you think most people keep track of the order an artist releases singles? No. I would agree that an artist shouldn't release ballads on a constant basis without an upbeat song thrown in the mix sometime (or vice versa). But two ballads in a row is certainly no big deal.

Honestly, it could be because of how hard it is to sing Carrie's songs. We take it for granted, but most of Carrie's songs are pretty rangey or require some random high notes to make them pop. Odds are nobody could hit them, so...

Evan Farmer tweeted that it was the artist's choice as to what they wanted. Still a bit perplexing.

Odds are nobody could hit them, so... Not all her songs on PO need a powerful voice though. Plus, songs can be arranged accordingly to fit someone's voice (not altered, just rearrange slightly). If Matt Giraud (from AI8) could pull off a good version of "So Small" despite not having a crazy range, I don't see how it's hard for some other artists as well... But since it's Carrie's choice... oh well. Thanks! WCIS?
