“I like to think that I am versatile. Hopefully, when I listen to people come and audition, I can have any lens I need to put on in terms of what music I’m thinking,” Carrie teased about the kind of judge she’ll be.
“I think I can be honest and constructive but still kind,” Carrie added. “And I think that’s the whole point, ’cause people are coming in and, you know, it’s dreams. You’re a part of somebody’s story from that moment on. I think it’s important to be honest, but it’s also very important to be kind, so hopefully I can marry all of those together and be a good judge.”
Carrie was recently confirmed for another longtime gig!
