I could see Carly having an Anne Murray-like career as she matures, rather than a flash-in-the-pan pop career - crossing genres and age groups.
Keep in mind most of Anne Murray's hits were written by someone else; she just brought them to life with one of the most incredible voices the world has ever heard. And a lot of them are nothing like the originals. "Snowbird", the song that basically launched her career, is a great example:
The original is... somewhat more depressing:
I know it's passe to say a new artist is the "the next" so-and-so, but Carly's got the look, personality, and especially *the voice* to potentially be the next Anne Murray... let's just hope The Music Industry doesn't ruin it all by trying to turn her into the next Justin Bieber and giving her all kinds of manufactured pop bullshit to puke out until she's trashed by the time she's 24.
Damn, now I think about it, I would love to hear Carly's take on Anne's version of "Snowbird".
