I like the song "Lost" Kara sang at the Country Music Museum" at LA Live this last summer...Kara has a great voice and I hope she records "Lost" one day..with her voice...
Kara rocks.....I love to check out her website and listen to her hits.....Kara knows how to be a Pro.......and make a professional of others, she has a keen sense of what works in the music industry.....
I watch IDOL, just for what Karea is going to say or do....Kara ia awarding winning in her own right, Kara is a super star even without being on idol. Anyone that is in the industry knows that.
Happy New Year, Kara has earned her way to the "Music Royal Elite" but ---has Simon recorded any songs lately??? Not...
We love Simon because he never wears a tie.
Just think how handsome Simon would be if he did...It might even improve his tempermental attitude....70% temper 30% mental......
