Dance Dance Dance...this album is a great dance album and this song really makes you wanna go for the dancefloor...This is very 80's, but Taylor lets it rip specially mid-way through with some great backing vocals Taylor tears it up!
7. Carry Your Heart
A ballad and Taylor really pours her heart out on this one, this is a great song and Taylor sings it like an angel. Thie verses are very deep vocally with senual lower tones before Taylor glides right up into her high notes into the chorus. Tough song to sing but Taylor makes it sound easy.

9. Where Does That Boy Hang Out
An absoloute pop gem! This is sensational, fierce vocals, fast beats and such a great pop song. Taylor Rocks!

This is actually a duet with "Billy.T.Scott" and this is a great closer for the album, a power ballad and Taylor really shines with this duet...their voices are a great match. This is almost an acoustic track with very rich R & B vocals through-out.
