Hunter Hayes

**carriecountrystar** · 04-08-2012

I was going through ACM performances on youtube when I stumbled upon Hunter Hayes' live performance on the GAC special. After going through some other different performances and songs, I have to say I'm pretty impressed with this guy. He has great stage charisma, plays various instruments, and gives strong emotive vocals. You can tell just tell he's a musician by heart and that's the kind of artist I like.

He's one talented kid having performed with Hank Williams Jr. when he was only 4! Not to mention, he's also quite a talented songwriter who wrote every song on his debut album as well as having co-written for Rascal Flatts and Montgomery as well.
To top it off, he played every single instrument on his album. He's one talented artist up and coming as the newest star. It's going to take time but I believe he's gonna stick around for some time with his kind of talent.

Check out some of his live performances and videos!

I'm surprised that this thread hasn't been blowing up,especially since Carrie's announcement as Hunter as her tour opener. Idk aboutyou guys, but I am really starting to like this guy! When Storm Warning firstcame out, I immediately said to myself, "I like this song, it's prettycatchy!". As time went on, I started wanting to hear the song on the radioso much that I finally just bought Hunter's whole album. I still don't listento it all the way through all that much, but he has some pretty good songs on thisone! I especially love his newest single "Wanted". That song, isDEFINITELY going to be one of the few played at my wedding some day. I alsolike Somebody's Heartbreak, as well as Everybody's Got Somebody But Me. I'mcurious to see how his career plays out...I'm hoping that good things startcoming his way. First off being a #1 single with Wanted. Hopefully Carrie'stour opens up a lot of doors for him!

**Sugarlandgirl4life** · 06-15-2012

"Wanted" is one of my favorites

**HuiZ** · 06-15-2012

I have been obsessing over "Wanted" recently lol.

Hope to see him having huge success very soon!

**carriecountrystar** · 06-15-2012

Yay. I'm happy to see people posting; for the longest time (3 months to be exact

), there wasn't even 1 reply.

^ "Wanted" is also my new favorite song. I love how he plays the piano and how he sings with such conviction. Great talent waiting to show the world.
Go Carrie!

I'll admit I wasn't too excited to hear Hunter Hayes as Carrie's opener for the BA tour, but I'm hoping seeing him live and hearing more of his songs will change my thoughts of him (for the PO tour, I like Craig Morgan though I dislike many of his redneck country songs like Bonfire on the radio, but hearing that song and others like it live was actually enjoyable and fun and after the concert I didn't change the station when those songs came on the radio). I also don't like Storm Warning much, but Wanted is a pretty good song and I'm glad he doesn't sound as young as he looks. He mentioned that he knows the words to all of Carrie's duets and I'd really like to see them take on Remind Me.

That would be AMAZING seeing Carrie and Hunter singing RM. I highly doubt it would happen though, but if not then at least let them bring back WCIS so that he can perform it with her! It gets me so sad that I might not get to go see her this go around, because I am really starting to love Hunter's music. He is probably my favorite male artist on the country scene, at the moment...

I like WCIS because it's one of the few power ballads on Carrie's past two albums, but I only wouldn't want them to sing it because Carrie was fortunate to have been able to sing it all last tour already with SOS, whereas she hasn't sung other duets like RM, Oh Love, or Is It Still Over? much, or at all (I think) in the latter two's cases. It's unlikely, but maybe even by then the Aerosmith duet will be on the table to feature on Carrie's tour.

I'm sad i can't see carrie and hunter in november here in md. I'm pretty sure all the tickets are sold out and the ones on ebay are expensive. Plus there was only one person selling tickets anyway. ;/

I'm nothing short of pleased with Hunter. I've wanted him to open for Carrie ever since I discovered him through the press he got for opening for Taylor. He's a seasoned artist (even at such a young age), a dynamic performer with incredible stage presence and likability, and will no doubt become huge in the future. He's the best artist Carrie has had on tour so far (along with LBT) and is doing exactly what I thought he would do as a performer.

I'm excited to see how this tour will shape him.

Loving Hunter's live EP. He's got such catchy songs, and a really great voice. I've become quite the fan of his... all thanks to Carrie having him on tour.

Does anybody know what concert/city the live EP was recorded from?!

Also, does anyone have an audio/mp3 link to "Just the way you are" that he sings in concert? Regret not recording it when I saw him twice!
