I love Amy Grant - my sister had a lot of her Christsian albums - I only have Amy Grant the Collection, Heart In MOtion and her AMAZING Christmas album.

My favorite Amy Grant song: El Shadai...SO beautiful.

El Shaddai makes me cry. I saw her in concert back in like 1997 or 1998 and she did that acoustic....I was balling. One of the greatest songs, EVER. Her Christmas album, Home for Christmas, is my favorite Christmas album, it's perfect.

Actually all three of her christmas albums, especially the first one "A Christmas Album", is considered to be three of the best christmas albums...EVER! Her version of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing is SPECTACULAR!

Home for Christmas is fantastic - or perfect as you state - I love it!

I had tickets to see Amy in the early 90s I think - I remember because I begged my grandpa for $20 for the ticket...then she canceled because she had to have eye surgery or something

So I've never seen her.

El Shadai makes me weepy too - it's just so beautiful and she sings it with such emotion....love it.

Oh and yeah - her version of Hark! The Herald is PERFECTION!

Amy Grant is a great artist, imo. I've kind of grown out of her, but I totally respect her. Brings me back to the days when I was obsessed with Point of Grace (blech)...

Brwn_eyes0511 · #24 09-13-2005, 02:46 PM

For anyone who wants to here the song "Turn This World Around", that I posted the lyrics too...

here is a link to a sight where you can download an acoustic live performance she did on the radio a few years back. and then there is also a link to the story behind the song (she tells before she sings it)...it is one of the funniest and most heart warming stories I have heard.

http://www.amygrant.de/Medienarchiv/...eEyes/Main.Htm

scroll down to the Mix 102.9 Radio Special from 1997 and is segments 9 and 10.

***If you have DSL these stream SUPER fast...so no long download.

lol. You can grow OUT of Amy! LOL

She gets better with each new album...like fine wine!

Listen to samples from "Simple Things" which came out in 2003...POP/ROCK PERFECTION!

I can hear how Heart In Motion is a bit dated and well - I think her music is just realy positive "pure" I guess - no profanity etc...

Oh - I forgot...also LOVE the song "Ask me How I know" and "Galileo"

Obviously Heart in Motion is the album with which I am most familiar.

She's as fake as the day is long. My mother and I had the "pleasure" of meeting her years ago. All my mom said was "I've really enjoyed your music over the years." She looked at my mom like she was some street rat and said "uh...gee, thanks." And then walked away.

That is NOT Amy...

She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She treats you sort of like a friend.

I dont' know what was up with her that day...time of the month or what! BUT I HAVE NEVER EVER EVER read one story where a fan didn't have a pleasent encounter with Ms. Grant...except for the one you just posted.

And I have been backstage A LOT!

Yeah - maybe she was having a bad day - or was approached at an inopportune time???

I've heard nothing but good things about her from people who have met her.

Heart in Motion is def. very early 90's! lol...and Amy will be the first to admit that. It's so funny because a lot of her stuff prior to "Heart in Motion" does not sound dated at all, really. Her new stuff is killer-good!
