Kara seems like a hit or miss sometimes. and she was a miss, lyrically, for both of Carrie's songs. I would prefer if Carrie worked with other writers.
yes, but UI is sooo dang catchy and that was its main purpose

I think Carrie knows she needs to mature as an artist, and she seems to be very self-aware.
I just can't see Carrie writing a song in the same style as she has before.
I agree Carrie needs to write with people who bring out the best in her; we've seen Carrie grow tremendously as a writer, and I think she and Kara could come up with something good if CARRIE takes more of the direction in the writing.
After all, the songs are similar in wording ("He is good, so good", "You Stole my Happy, you made me cry), and it seems as though Carrie may have had a different direction in mind, but she allowed Kara to take the reins.
We know Carrie is a better writer than that, and her style is NOT a simple as Kara's.
This is just an idea, but from all we've heard about the writing sessions over the past few years, it seems Carrie can be a strong writer when she has someone to help steer her in a stronger direction than what Kara can give her.
I loved Undo It, even though I think it could've stayed an album track, in favor of a stronger single. I wasn't a fan of Mama's Song at first, but Carrie's vocals/emotion redeem it for me, and I LOVE the softer production.
Plus the video was so heartfelt, I can't help but have a different view of the song after watching the video.
I don't think either of these songs are terrible, but we know Carrie can do so much better. I would much rather see her work with someone who recognizes her potential and choses to bring out the best in her. [/B]
Undo It is personally one of my favourite Carrie songs...but Mama's Song kind of did a bit too much cliche for me :/ she is quite a cliche writer...not so sure if I'm happy about this. To me this means:
- Same sound as last album
- Same lyrics written in different ways
Don't get me wrong I LOVE Kara and wish she sang more songs herself cause her voice is beautiful! But yeh not again with Carrie for a while please :/
They haven't even begun this session & yet the negativity is off the charts. What is it going to take to get you people to actually see a positive side of a situation once in a while. Remember, there are positive things going on, but we sure wouldn't know it from the tone of everything that comes out of what are supposed to be her biggest fans. I sometimes want to slit my wrists after reading the goings on here.

With all due respect, what do you wish to see? a thread full of "Cool/Great/Fantastic/Love it/You Go Girl/ Love you Carrie/Keep it Up/Hang in There.....They haven't even begun this session & yet the negativity is off the charts.
