On HITS Lionel Richie barely moves ahead of Carrie's BA. What is keeping his CD selling like that?

CUnderwood MusicFan posted a very long quote 'supposedly' said by Carrie. He/she says it was posted on a private profile that he/she couldn't give out. I was wondering if anyone could prove it's actually by Carrie. If so, what "profile"?

"A person can not be told how an individual is. We can all attempt to describe each other, however, these descriptions and tales that we may tell....can only be felt in the actual form of being. Who am I? Well...in many eyes and minds I may just be a person who brings smiles. In many others I may bring disappointment and dissatisfaction. We can all have our own notions and thoughts on a particular human being. Yet, to fully understand or to be....that human being....not a single soul may know. Pointing fingers may be lovely and passes time and joy. Only that person can feel the heart and mind of their own soul. So who am I to judge and say oh no. I simply live to spread what I can only know in my own mind what love may be. I simply be what that love is and become a consumer of love itself. I send my energy into the universe and allow it to feed off of mine and send me back what it thinks I deserve to be bestowed back on to me. We are all livings in this slow motion time capsule where I believe already has happened. Yes we live in the now....I try my best to live in the NOW. For only NOW can only tell me what and who I will be THEN. I listen to my breath and love every moment of it for I cant even imagine when my last one will be. Oh how precious that last breath will be. For only then can I be exposed into the other world that we know nothing about. The world that we live in now. We have certainly destroyed its beauty with our hunger and greed. Our violent nature has seemed to make wars and hate and discrimination a common breed. A common breath. That we every single day breathe. That we seem to fuel and spread the fire ablaze wild and incontrollable torrent of constant cursed seeds. Until we realize that we are all interconnected and a whole together as one, one, one human kind being....We can never bring peace. My job and duty as a human being is to raise this awareness of spreading love as much as i humanly can. I am to blame for every single death due to causes we can prevent and so are you. So let those causes be heard and hopefully helped. One step at a time. Every moment we get. Lets not be the selfish zombies this nation programs us to be. Rather, educate our minds to become leaders of selfless divine lust for life and life's true loving poetry. We are all poems waiting to be read. Allow your poem to not be thrown on the ground but to actually be spread. Give meaning to the life you lead. Without love, your life has no need. Love is not something you do....It is simply what you become. Be love. In love with love. So all you are, is and will be....full of love. Conquer this corrupt society we live in and read into what our historians have said so that we can become our own living history. I am nothing. I am nobody. But believe me when I say....I am trying.--Carrie"


It does seem like something Carrie would say, but I'm interested as to where this is from, and why it was only shared "privately". The person who posted this isn't a poser, they're a Facebook fan page administrator. However, I'm concerned they're getting this stuff from someone who is a poster. That's why I'm looking for any proof of authenticity. Thanks for any help!

Edit: To further enhance my doubt, I was just blocked from the page for simply doubting it.

What on earth? I don't even know what that's about. I hope that wasn't from Carrie because that entire though process is annoying, but whatever. To each their own.

[adwem]

I very much doubt that is Carrie.

Anyways here is the pop updates

My thoughts exactly. This person on Facebook is either posing, or getting their info from a poser... I was concerned because there are a ton of people "liking" and commenting. I questioned the source, as there wasn't one given, and the person immediately blocked me from the page. I only questioned where it came from as he/she said it was from a "private profile" and he/she couldn't share. As a devoted Carrie fan, I know Carrie only communicates through the Fan Club and Twitter, she uses no other social media. I suppose she could have a private Facebook where she's only visible to her closest friends and family, but even then, how would this person have access to that? I suppose it's not a big deal, but I was just questioning the authenticity and I knew I could probably find the truth. I also sent an email to the Fan Club organizers and posted a thread there. Hopefully this person can at least be warned...

[rbundy1987]

This CUnderwood Musicfan is a poser, she is not a nice lady, I was friends with them on Facebook because I am a Carrie fan myself. This person threatens and poses as others, her name is really Shana Cherie, and she is a mean person and threatened to pose as me. Not Carrie, she poses as Carrie on 3 or more accounts. Carrie doesn't have a personal page for Facebook but only her Fan Page which is run by her management. I have reported this person so many times that she keeps making new profiles of Carrie or other celebs.

WAW !! :o :o :o

[leilamaurizia]

Finally!

Blown Away is on sale for a limited time on iTunes-- $6.99!

It's already #1 country and #6 #5 over-all.

[leilamaurizia]

#2 album now! WOW!!!

[jughead]

How much of an effect will this discount have on next week's sales? This is steadily making its way to platinum. I hope "Blown Away" (the single) crosses over to Hot Ac and Pop and aid the album during the holiday season.

[mairy]

Wine After Whiskey last night was amazing. It was such an awesome surprise. It was worth it to stay awake for the Opry just for that.

She said they've been rehearsing the whole week for the tour. That fact that she performed WAW hopefully means it's gonna be part of the setlist too.

[peterca]

Just wondering, does the sales week end on a Sunday or a Monday? Given the limited number of debut albums this week, "Blown Away" could end up being the #1 country album and even be in the top 10 overall.

It's #1 on iTunes all-genre! :o

[leilamaurizia]

Ladies and gentlemen, Blown Away is now the #1 album over-all on iTunes!

[carrieidol1]

Anyone have a link to download last night's Opry performances? I missed it, and the link provided at Carriefans doesn't seem to be working. Thanks in advance!

[adwem]

The sale runs Sept 2-5th

Wow that was breathtaking. JTTW is STILL one of my favorite Carrie songs.

:o Damn! One sale, and it shoots straight to #1! I'm impressed!

And that was definitely a solid Opry setlist! Loving WAW <3

[Typo]

These NETY performances are really cute.

[neally]

Carrie sounded like she might be under the weather from last night's Opry show. I love 'Wine' on the record but thought the vocals from last night's performance of 'Wine' were just okay. 'Wasted', my favourite Carrie song of all-time, was also good but not one of her better ones, IMO. 'Blown Away' and 'Casanova' sounded pitchy and shouty, neither of which were of her better renditions.

Was that 'Jesus' performance from last night ? There she sounded gorgeous as ever, and that song NEVER burns on me.

I still am disbelief that she has not performed 'See You Again' yet- 12 more days till the tour starts, although I am not seeing her until December.

[Deleted]

BA (single) is up to #13 on the iTunes all-genre chart, and the video is still in the Top 10 at #9.

I'm really curious to see which past singles of hers don't make the setlist for the tour. Carrie's finally gotten to the point where she won't be able to incorporate every one of her hits into the shows like she's done with her past 2 tours. With four albums worth of material now, I'm sure they're mixing it up a bit. Granted, they'll obviously keep the staples -- JTTW and BHC, but I don't know how many of her previous singles she'll keep in there since it is the Blown Away Tour, and the focus should be on the majority of the album.

If I had to guess from the previous singles, I'd expect AAG, ITYS, and MS to be left off of the setlist, with maybe one or two more. I can't see her not performing Wasted, SS, LN, or JAD, and the PO era, for the most part, is still pretty fresh (with the exception of MS).

[neally]

^^ Is that a record for the highest position for 'Blown Away' (the single) ? I can't wait until it hits Hot AC/AC- it will explode on those radio charts and will keep it's sales afloat through the holiday season. 3 million by years' end is a real possibility, IMO.
