Let's get some top 3's going her!
Mine :
1. The House That Built Me (Dead Flowers is better but this is still my #2)
2. Before He Cheats (Carrie's best single)
3. Safe and Sound (I'd say it's like Taylor's 6th or 7th best in the rate, I hate that it's her highest)
|
Same Top 3!

Hot Country Songs Peak : #1
**** all of you. This song is perfection. Sorry, I just needed to get that out. Moving on, if Love Story made Taylor a superstar, it was You Belong With Me that made her America’s sweetheart. This song, with some help from a certain event that doesn’t need to be mentioned, became an anthem in America. You Belong With Me proves that there is nothing wrong with being a little cheesy. If any other of the big teen singers sang this I probably would have called it basic and moved on but god damn, Taylor kills this song. Over You beat this? Back to December beat this? That Carrie song about Jesus beat this? Ya’ll are wrong. Dead wrong.

no! this should be number 1!

Before He Cheats will probably win because somebody sabotaged the ballads.

I'm living for this You Belong With Me love, I'm just so used to hearing people trash it.
Taylor is so great at writing lyrics that are simple but not bland or stupid. And then her voice just fits the song so perfectly. You can hear the longing in her voice but at the same time, you can just tell that she's really having fun singing the song. Everything just works so damn well.
Okay, I'm done talking about it. But I'm gonna jam to it before I go to bed.

After the first 10 or so rates were in, this song was sitting pretty at #1 with a 9.6 average. I thought for sure that this would hold its spot and be the #1 of the rate in the end. Anyways, everyone knows that this was the song that launched Taylor into superstardom. It’s the best-selling song in this rate and the only one to truly have success on a worldwide scale. The song itself is really fun and infectious, the chorus is everything. Honestly, if someone who has heard the song told me that they never even mumbled/sang the lyrics when the chorus came on, I wouldn’t believe them. Also, let’s get into that bridge. What kind of momentum? THAT’S how you leave the listeners at the edge of their seats before bringing the entire house down with the grand finale. I was honestly shocked that it didn’t go top 5.
I should have thrown in the worldwide chart positions just to remind ya’ll.

I truly am shocked this didn't make final five.

This was an even bigger shock to me.

6. Over You
Average : 8.588

Lowest : 6.5 (madonnas)
Billboard Hot 100 Peak : #35

Funny thing about this song is that I had it in my top 10 a couple weeks ago.  I honestly don’t know how to explain it. I’d like to say I was drunk, or high, or held at gunpoint, but I honestly think I really just dug the song for that time period for some reason. Listening to it now, it probably wouldn’t even crack my top 20. It’s still a pretty song, but I can’t help but feel that it never goes anywhere. It’s pretty weak lyrically for anyone’s standards, let alone Miranda’s. There are times when I love simplicity in a song, but this sure as hell isn’t one of them. Sidetrack for second, I think the reason that I loved the song so much was because it was fresh on my mind after that song Garbage Chute was released and comparing any song to that gives it an immediate boost.

I still love this song and love the simplicity of it.

Lowest : 5.5 (madonnas)

I had no idea that this song was so loved. I thought Top 15, MAX, but Top 5, really? The song itself is beautifully written, I was trying to find a single line to put in here to show this but it’s pretty much impossible to find just one. Actually, found it. “I'm so glad you made time to see me. How's life? Tell me, how's your family? I haven't seen them in a while.” I don’t know why but I love that part so freakin much, I literally get chills when I hear it. I also love that Taylor went for a more understated approach to the song rather than littering it with higher notes. It really adds to the whole melancholy feel of the song. I’m not too mad that this song made it this far, but now that we’re in the top 5, it really was time for it to go.

I love this song to.

4. Jesus, Take The Wheel
Average : 8.752
Highest : 10 (CountryFriedChick, Lovato, aosorio19, Carriefan, Mr. Duff, johnrm, evan93, ClassicMainstream, lastkiss13, Strangergab) Most 10’s so far
Lowest : 6 (madonnas, Bahjat)
Billboard Hot 100 Peak : #20
Hot Country Songs Peak : #1
This song was actually the song to dethrone Love Story at the #1 spot, which it then dominated for most of the rate. Why? I honestly have no idea. THEN when all the scores were in it was #3, and I wasn’t about to let that happen so my 7 booted this down to #4. Thank me later. Anyways, serving as Carrie’s real debut single, Jesus Take the Wheel marked the true beginning of Carrie’s career. Frankly the only part of the song I use is the first verse. If the rest of the song was the same quality as the first verse I would slap down a 10 on this song and move on. Instead, the decent chorus and bland second verse bring it down to just an “okay” song. The fact that this song was almost #1, let alone top 3, sickens me. Thank god Carrie didn’t let Jesus take the wheel of her career and moved on to far better things than this.

At least it made Top 5!

I don't know about that, Safe & Sound being more new & fresh may appeal to people more.
And y'all need to stop complaining about "Carrie stans" rigging the votes because I'm pretty sure my rates were a lot more fair than a number of people who participated.

Over you is better than your making it out to be I mean the lowest rate it got was a 6.5 if you thought it was trash you should have given it a lower score  I still stand by my statement that its the best Miranda song and you will deal

I'm here for THTBM to be no.1
Shocked that Love Story and YBWM aren't even in the top 5
It should be:
1. THTBM
2. Love Story
3. YBWM
