This is such an inspirational song. Carrie sings it from the heart and the emotion comes from the depths of her soul. Her voice is superb and she is a great messenger to spread the word.
kendra says:
I love this song. It’s sung very well and it most likely will go to the top if it goes to a single. I’d love to hear her in concert sometime singing this song. I’ve seen her once in concert in Roanoke, Va and she’s sooo good! She sings from the bottom of her heart and shows such emotion with this song.
LeAnn says:
One of her best songs….you can hear her emotions in her vocals, and brings me to tears when she sings this song. The video above proves what a powerful artist she is and what a fabulous LIVE performer. There are others who should take note of this….Carrie is a TRUE Female Vocalist!!! She does not need any studio magic to make her voice sound like her recordings. I it is just a beautiful gift that she uses very well! :)
Joy says:
Right on LeAnn! Carrie’s vocals are just truly amazing & a gift from God that he’s given her to use.

isabella says:
i cant wait to watch the video for “temporary home”…i loooooooooove this son and i loooooooooooooove her…shes such a sweety!
yohan says:
her play on album shows a different carrie..not just the “sass” songs but i believe that this will make her an even better vocalist! we’ve witnessed her unbelieveable range during AI and on her first two albums…but this album will further develop her falsetto and the sudden shift to chest tone which is very difficult to do, and as usual, she proves that she can do it in this video! i love carrie, our true vocalist!:)
Michael says:
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, oh. fell asleep in my oatmeal on that one! this girl is boring
Kaiquan says:
Her best live performance of this song! Which is already my all time favorite song off her entire discography. It WILL be a number one single. There is no doubt about it. The core fan reaction has been just tears and tears and endless praise. When this song gets out, it’ll be massive!
seana says:
some people love her and some people dont…thats okay you cant please everyone, but for those who love her and are inspired and blessed by her, this is why she does what she does, and she knows this is for her fans and not for the people who are trying to rip her to shreds.
carrie is incredible and EVERYTIME she performs she’s so wonderful and she gets better eachtime, i am so proud of her for her accomplishments in country music she has worked hard to earn the respects from the academy and her peers, she keeps growing as a performer and an artist she is an amazing talent and person and i am a”HUGE FAN” and i love her, i thank God carrie is here to stay and she continues to BLESS “HER FANS” with her music…
carebearsWithAttitude says:

I love this song . I have to say she is very talented . Her songs are incredible especially Last Name and Cowboy Casanova. I love So Small and Temmporary Home.
sadie ann hawkins says:
How can Taylor sleep at night know she stole the FVOTY from this lady with the golden pipes? She’s a spoiled brat, used to getting what she wants, that’s how.
Congratulations Carrie on another great song

Renee says:
A special song. My Dad went home to be with the Lord yesterday at 1:00. He would have been 90 years old on April 2nd. Today, exactly 24 hours later, Temporary Home was playing and I was able to smile. No tears, Dad, no tears. You are in the presence of Jesus now.
