Wow the words in this song really hits the emotions really hard. That was just more than beautiful. Every single week I comment on how strong your voice is and it really just is that powerful and so beautiful to listen to. You are clearly becoming a front runner in this competition and I'm glad I can witness you and your talent.

You brought the powerhouse voice you have and delivered this powerful ballad. I honestly enjoyed this so much and I have nothing to critique way to go Carrie!
