"What if heaven's all around us, but only seen through children's eyes" I really like the perspective this song provides on a lot of things! And the melody is pretty good, and Lee Ann sounds great. Pretty much the only thing working against it is the fact that the production is kind of "weird". Although I personally think that gives it a nice dose of personality.

I've long loved "Forever Everyday" and never thought it would make it to the top 5. Honestly I'm surprised it did over "The Reason Why" or "Powerful Thing" but I'm happy with this more.

Oh yay!!! I love "I Know Where I'm Going", but I love the other three more, so I am thrilled to see it not overstaying now!

watching a movie and forgot to post about The Judds before posting #3 but here we go lol. I love "I Know Where I'm Going" and am so glad that it made it to the final 4. Didn't expect it at all.
Seeing Carrie Underwood make it to the Top 3 was great as well as "Spinning Bottles" is just incredible. We got the correct top 3 and I am really happy about that as I didn't expect things to pan out this way at all!

The top 2 is a great Reba classic and... a song by the meh Collin Raye. God, I hope Reba pulls it out here.

Wow, look at Collin defying all odds! Winning by ONE POINT, too!! "What If It's You" is far from one of Reba's more iconic hits (it's kinda overshadowed by everything else around it in this phase of her career), so I never really expected her to do quite this well even though I hoped she would. I also don't think this song will ever have a chance to do any better than it just did, so I'm a bit sad to see it miss out by one point. The story of this song is just sooooo relatable to everyone who has ever watched someone they love falling for someone else and being genuinely happy all while you continue to be miserable without them. It is very poignant, and that climax in the bridge still hits HARD!
"Love, Me" is an incredible song, that tells such a sweet story. Collin hasn't had many opportunities to do well in rankdowns on Pulse, but I always kinda figured if he ever did win a rankdown this would be the song that could do it!

Honestly I was beyond happy to see "Love, Me" win and was afraid near the end of the list that it would miss out. Thankfully someguy came through to push it back to the top! "Love, Me" is just so poignant and beautiful and Collin sounds fantastic on it. Will be opening the Christmas Shuffle within the next few days!

someguy really is just gonna do his queen dirty like that. Of all the times to do it too…”What If It’s You” will sadly likely never do this well in a rankdown appearance ever again, and it’s LIGHTYEARS better than that Collin Raye song so I’m very disappointed in that Top 2 finish. ”What If It’s You” just hits my hopeless romantic and hopelessly-in-love-with-love heart HARD. Those lyrics are so damn relatable to me, and her vocal performance of them wrings out every ounce of emotion and does so beautifully, as she always does. I’ve been in love with someone before—enough to think maybe that was it. It wasn’t, but seeing him with other people and not with me stung like a million hornets. Funnily enough, not long after one of those other people came around, this song popped up on my recommendations; and Reba just went and ran a Mac truck over me. It’s got such a special place in my heart that I even jotted down a novel idea surrounding the song’s concept back in January of this year.

I happen to think with time and some more years behind you, you’ll look back on the song with a different perspective. There’s a reason why the majority of us put it in our top four and not our bottom 3 . Anyways, “Love, Me” exceeded any and all expectations I might’ve had for it as I thought it would get enough detractors to escape the top 5 altogether. Glad to see that wasn’t the case after all as it’s one of the all-time best songs from an artist that debuted in the ‘90s. Now speaking of random, this Christmas shuffle is just that. I have no idea what to expect going into it other than foreshadowing a SHeDAISY win.

Totally agree with this assessment of Reba's song It's sooo powerful when you are in love with somebody that you can't have! But it's really funny that you describe liking it better because you're a hopeless romantic.........as if "Love, Me" is not itself a mushy and romantic song 😂 This is about as realistically sweet of a love story as has ever been told in country music About love that actually IS fulfilled! Lol
