Posted July 17, 20205 yr And ofc I was going to use this AF Idol to spotlight a country artist. It was pretty much between Maren and Kelsea Ballerini (I briefly considered Carrie but I decided to go for someone that would be more of a discovery) and have chosen Maren as Kelsea is a bit too similar to Taylor and I feel Maren will go down better in this game. A stunning songwriter with a fabulous voice, I hope you discover some country gems that give you the feels as we explore the highlights of Maren's 2 albums, and her collabs from massive dance hits to beautiful meaningful gems.
July 17, 20205 yr YES! That was my first choice too (assuming you're saving the likes of 'My Church', 'The Middle' & 'Seeing Blind' for later rounds :P ) I'd love for you to be able to fit 'Common' in at some point :wub:
July 18, 20204 yr I love Common but idk if I’ll get a chance to send it 😭:drama: Tbf, I'd understand if not tbh!
July 18, 20204 yr I know absolutely nothing by Maren so I think this is the act I'm most intrigued by. I do like a bit of country music every now and again so I'm looking forward to seeing what songs you send ^_^
July 18, 20204 yr I think realistically I'm not likely to be voting much for Maren which I'm sure won't be a shock :kink: but as far as country pop acts go she's probably among the best of them, 'The Bones' is a pretty decent song and her songs from BJSC weren't awful either, so I am curious to see if there are any particular gems in her discography since I'll be listening to... at least 6 or so songs I haven't yet heard from her over the course of this xx
July 20, 20204 yr Author For this round our options are: Maren Morris EP closer: KWsvgDgoPxU Hero standard closer: 62Ha6SHtkt0 Hero deluxe closer: teUHWPQWpM8 Girl standard closer: Tenk_lx-TLU Girl deluxe closer: dvhkNipa5lg Yep this is gonna be our weakest round probs ahh. What one do you think is best to send?
July 21, 20204 yr Author I'm struggling between Company You Keep and Once! I think I'm gearing more towards the former
July 23, 20204 yr Author quite a lot of options this round!: - Craving You (Thomas Rhett ft. Maren) - Dear Hate (ft. Vince Gill) - Seeing Blind (Niall Horan ft. Maren) - The Middle (Zedd & Grey ft. Maren) - Way Too Pretty For Prison (Miranda ft. Maren) The Middle & Dear Hate will both be used at another stage for definite if not used now. Of the other three, only one will be able used (either this round or a later round if we use either of DH/TM now) I adore Craving You but Maren's v. background on it. I need your guys help this round
July 23, 20204 yr Common though :cry: --- But Seeing Blind would probably be the one that stands out the most if you are planning to save the other 2!
July 27, 20204 yr Author I know exactly what I'm sending this round :heart: we are going slow this round *.*
