I absolutely LOVE the video for Tears of Gold. Carrie is so freaking gorgeous. The song is very catchy and definitely makes me want to dance, lol. It may not be the style of music that I typically go for and, of course, as a Carrie fan I always wish there was more Carrie, but I think this is pretty awesome for her to branch out and do this song and reach a whole new audience. I am glad she accepted the challenge of singing in Spanish and I really hope this serves as a great way to introduce her to the Latin music audience. Hopefully it is really successful so that Carrie can do more cool stuff like this!
Also, I was in my late teens or twenties when Jennifer Lopez was huge with songs like "Waiting for Tonight" and I loved dancing to those. If this song had come out 20 years ago, I'm sure I would have been dancing to it in a club somewhere, lol.
How are you feeling Josh?
It occurs to me that this is a Linda Ronstadt moment for our Carrie - shaking things up completely to remind the world that she is an artist that cannot and will not be put into a box as a singer. She can and will continue to choose projects that prevent her from being limited by the expectations of others. When Linda Ronstadt was recently honored at the Kennedy Center and Carrie performed, this was one of the aspects of Linda's career that Carrie said she admired - that Linda transitioned between country, pop, classical, folk and Latin music effortlessly, and she found a bigger/different audience with each new evolution of her career. Our Carrie is like that, I believe.
Hope you feel better soon Josh.Thank you for asking. This is a strange illness. I'm feeling better now, but I'm starting to sneeze and my nose is runny now, but I wasn't sneezing the other day when I had the fever.. so, I'm not sure if it's getting better or worse. And, it's really weird how I can barely taste flavors, but I can taste if foods are salty or sweet. And, it's extreme.. like, I was eating the normal black forest ham I've always eaten and it tastes like a mouthful of salt with no flavor. My senses better come back :/
Edit: sorry for posting off topic stuff here
Hope you feel better soon Josh.
I kind of agree with you. The song is catchy but you just really miss her high notes that we hear from her. It’s not a bad song, it just underutilizes her voice a little bit.She sounds great but you do miss those high notes we always hear from her.
We didn’t get the high notes, but we got to hear her sing in Spanish. Which was the highlight of the song for me.
Thanks, I hope this doesn't have lasting effects on me.
I wonder if Carrie can actually sing the Spanish part live. I'm still shocked at her singing in Spanish like that.

I can't get over how amazing Carrie sounds on TOG and the Spanish is out of this world.
