That was the effect Carrie had on me and the producers and we thought we may have found a great artist here . . . After you sang \u2018Alone\u2019 I made the prediction that you would become the best-selling Idol winner, which you are. But I could have never anticipated how successful you\u2019ve become . . .

I don\u2019t think we could ask for a better ambassador. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything she can\u2019t do. This is the best of country music in concrete. I can\u2019t wait to see everything you do from here. I think of the artists that\u2019ll be in here at Capitol Records that are going to walk out here one night drunk and throw up on the star of one of the most important artists we will ever have in our format.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Carrie wiped away tears as she thanked her family and her manager for their belief in her. She said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHow is this my life? How does a girl from Checotah, Oklahoma, get a star on the Walk of Fame? I will tell you: belief.
