LOVE YOU FRANNIE!

OMG! I absolutely LOVE her!!!! beautiful beautiful was actually one of the first songs that actually hooked me to this station and made me love it! <3

I love her song dents in my fenders!!!!!  I have her CD and I listen to it like all the time!!!

Frannie,

You are so my hero!!  I just want you to know that it's not only the little girls who are watching and looking up to you... I am 20 years old, I am sophomore at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and I am such a fan!!!  I have chosen you as my autobiographical project for one of my classes and I get to act out a few scenes of your life... In my last scene I will be singing part of Free To Be Me and I am just super excited about it!!!  Thanks for being such a great person for me to portray for this project!

Phil 1:3

My 5 year old daughter and I were blessed to see Francesca in concert when she was in Evansville, IN.  Everytime we get into the car just mom and daughter we sing "rip in my jeans" and it has become our theme song.   It is a great tool to teach my daughter to not waste her energy trying to be perfect, but to be the person God made her to be.   She accepted Jesus into her heart last year!!!  

I LOVE her so much!!!!! I have her CD"s and I listen to them all the time!! I especially LOVE her song dents in my fenders!!!

Hi Francesca!!! I am a HUGE fan(your number 1 fan). you are AWESOME!!! you are such an inspiration to so many. you are my favorite singer. I'm Letting Go is probably my favorite song. Keep it up Frannie!!!!!!! And to God be the glory!!!!!!!!!

You are my Granddaughters fav. She recently saw you in the Tacoma Dome at the rock and worship road show. Her Name is Cora Best. Her Mom passed away suddenly a year ago.(you were her favorite also). She was too late to get an autograph. I know she gave her address to some one there who said they would get it to you. It would mean the world to this family to receive one. Cora is 14 and she has 3 sisters. All love the Lord. We could not have got through the last year with out His grace. You are part of that. We love what your music has brought into our lives. Thank you and thanks K-Love.YOU ROCK

My favorite song of Francesca's is The Time in Between. I've played her CD so much it doesn't play right anymore. I think I'm going to have to buy a new one!

When things get tough for me i listen to the song free to me and i am letting go and it helps me to get through the day thank-you for all that you do keep it up because you inspire me to be myself and to strive for my dreams thanks again

I love Francesca!! I saw her in October in 2009 and now I'm going to see her at The Rock and Worship Roadshow!! Can't wait to see you again

I love this song.  I am free to be me!  My 13 year old daughter loves this song also.  Francesca has amazing talent and it is very cool to see that she is using the gift God has given for His Glory.  :O)

HI Frannie, I really like your music and I almost got to see you at the Rock and Worship Road Show in Colorado Springs but I didn't get to go and I was so bummin cause I really wanted to see you!!
God Bless!

how did couple dents in my fenders come along and im very much a fan of that song it helps me when im going through a rough time thanks

I have to say this about Francesca.. Her music changed my families life. I am a Christian minister and my wife grew up Mormon and she used to struggle with being herself but when Francesca came out with her song "Free to be me" my wife got so excited and said in a shout, "Hey! Thats me!" I laughed to myself because for the first time she knew that when you know Gods grace you are free to be yourself. From years of hiding and not being able to be herself, but because of Frannies music and all of the music on Klove actually she knows that God loves her, even in her mistakes and torn up jean days. On another note also, my three year old son, Tristan also loves Francescas music. It is so unbelievable and heart warming to a father and a minister to hear, Beautiful beautiful come on the radio and hear your three year old son yell out, "Thank you Jesus! Hallajuah!" In his slurred voice and then raise his arms to praise Jesus. I have to say he is probably Frannies youngest and biggest fan. For this I have to say a big, huge thank you to Francesca and the rest of the Klove team for impacting this poor ole ministers family . Joey!!!

She is one of my favorite artists ever, i want i could thank her personally because im fourteen years old and a strong christian and i have a great friend that doesnt kno the lord and i gave her francesca's cd and she loved ever since she's been coming to my youth group every week! so thank you francesca soo much God bless u!

Wow! how amazing to know that Francesca is on air! my 11 year old, 8 year old sisters and I loves her music and ministry last year on my sisters 11th bday she sang the song "Free to be me" in the kids service and changed the bigging part of "at twenty years of age" to "at eleven years of age" hehehe so cute! GOD BLESS U FRANCESCA! we LUBB U

Ok...Beautiful, Beautiful is my favorite song right now!  It just resonates so much with my heart and to hear Francesca sing it live was amazing!!! Thank you so much My 16 year old loves it sooo much as well!  And of course as always, when my four year old, Grace, hears Free to be me, she sings and dances like no other!  

I always wanted to be Rolph and would be honored to sing a duet with you!

WHEN DID U FIRST START PLAYING MUSIC

Hi You All:
I just wanted to say that I listen to your station everyday here in Salem, OR. I also saw the Rock and Worship show in Portland when it was here 2 weeks ago. Please give my thanks to Francesca, Mercy Me, David Crowder, Remedy Drive and the other tour bands for putting on such a great event. My wife and I loved every minute of it. Wish I were back in my home state of California to see the show agains.
--Jack

I love Francesca! She is so amazing! I just heard her live song of beatiful, beautiful!

Could Francesca Battistelli tell my niece Emma happy 11th Birthday who lives in Lincoln NE. I try and surprise her every year and top the previous year and this would rock her world b/c she is a big fan of hers... Thanks..

Francesca:
For such a long time you have been my hero. I have seen you in concert twice. I never get bored with your music. At 15 and a freshman in high school I struggle with depression. I can just listen to you sing and I feel like nothing ever happened to make me depressed. This door into a new world just opens when I listen to any of your songs. Thank you for being such an encouragement and inspiration to me. I love singing your songs. I love you. God has got to so proud!

I saw Francesca perform at the Klove cruise this past February.  Her husband was so cute taking care of what she needed on stage.  Her performance was absolutely wonderful and inspiring to all young women....you go Francesca!!!

God bless!!

you did very good at singing sixteen going on seventeen the rest of the line goes `you are sixteen going on seventeen baby its time to think.

Francesca! You inspired me to learn guitar and write songs! i've only been playing for a year but I've been singing all my life. Your music is so pure and my life has honestly been touched by your music. Time In Between is absolutely amazing. God Bless you and all that you do. If you are ever near Indianapolis can we please jam? haha It would be a dream come true!

I just heard on the radio that Frannie likes the musical "Into the woods". My high school just finished putting on that musical and I played the piano for them! I was so excited to hear that someone else has heard of the musical and likes it too!! 'Sixteen going on Seventeen' is one of my favorite songs from "The Sound of Music" too!!! I love her music. It is so uplifting and easy to relate too!

Francesca is absolutely amazing!! the lyrics to beautiful beautiful just encourages me in a huge way!! i remember about 2 years ago stepping out in faith to be a worship leader. and to see how far I have come in those two years is a testimony to when you listen to God and be obedient to Him, how he will bless you beyond measure. it hasn't been the easiest journey but knowing that He did look at me and saw the person He wanted me to be...well, it just makes me smile! and he wants to do that for everyone if they will listen to His voice! thank you, thank you for this beautiful song!! it always will remind me of the first step I took and how He awakened my heart and poured His grace into me, to release into others through worship for Him!!  

Thank you Kelli 4 asking Francesca to sing a broadway song!  "16 going on 17" is the part of Lizelle that I am going to audition for next month at my school.  While you were live on Klove, I called my sister, Marissa, who attends AU, Anderson, IN, and loves "Free To Be Me".  I put the phone up to the radio so she could hear it.  BTW, I love theatre, want to learn to play guitar and sing praise & worship @ my church.
Congratulations on your marriage!  God's blessed you with vocal talent that touches peoples hearts and gives Jesus access to their innermost feelings.  Ranae

Francesca's music is so inspiring!  I'm 14 and it's really helped me through ruff times!  I love her voice and she is such a wonderful person!  

Hey! i love Francesca! her songs are amazing.I was really mad when i found out my dad and brothers met you at Eyes Of Faith in Florida. My brothers got to preform. they were AM/PM. so now i have a picture of them with you haha.

i love francesca battistelli's music. i was going through a deep depression, and her song blue skies came on and i wept and prayed and i wasnt depressed anymore. love 2 u, frannie!

Saw Francesca at the Roadshow in Madison Wisconsin back on March 19.  It was an Awesome show.  I created a Photo Gallery of the photos I took that night.  http://www.pbase.com/trailryder/roadshow

Looking forward to seeing you again.
Later

I just wanted to let Francesca know that her new song Beautiful Beautiful is amazing and that I look up to her completely as a worship artist! I cant wait to hear more from her! And congrats on your 7 months with your husband. God Bless. <3

Francesca,
You are an Amazing singer/songwriter!! Thank you so much for making music available to christian girls that we want to listen to!! Me and my sisters love your cd!! Some of your songs move me to tears! They are awesome!

When my parents got that song free to be me,me and my lil sis kept listening and listening to it until we could sing that song by heart! I LOVE that song!

I meant HI Franny not I franny!!

I went to the opening night of the Rock& Worship Road Show and was just blown away by your voice , and the message. Your song "Beautiful" Just killed me. Such a wonderfuland inspirational love song, and I'm in awe in how the Lord has used you and your gifts in a way that touched my heart so deeply. I was blessed by the ability to be in the 2nd row in front , which just topped the cake. Therefore , I was able to get a few GREAT photos of you I would like to bless you with if you like. I am a photographer, but this was for the Lord and is a way to possibly keep the blessings going.
God bless you in all you do and stay in His will.

Hey fransisca, my friend showed me the song u wrote beautiful beautiful, which i thought was amazing.  what indpired u to write it?

Hey Francesca, my whole family loves your music!
You did a show in area at the Arkansas Natural's Baseball Game. We made it a family affair. My sister-in-law who hates baseball drove two & a half hours with my 3 nieces to join my husband and 3 kids to see you! We got as close as we could to the stage and had the greatest time. All the kids stood in line to get your autograph and just as you were coming to sit down, my daughter went to the trash can behind your table and ran into to you face first. She still says it was the greatest day ever because she ran you over! We Thank God that He has talented Ladies such as youself to be such a wonderful role model for young ladies like my baby girl and nieces! Even for my boys who sing just as loud as the girls when your songs come on!
Thanks for all you do! You have truly changed lives with you faith and obience to the Lord!!
Thanks to KLRC for bringing you to Northwest Arkansas!!!  

It's hard to stay in touch with Christian music from where I live, and since nobody even knows that it actually exists, it' always been hard for me and my sister to not being able to see shows or listen to music. But thanks to Klove I got to know Francesca and she is very sweet and talented, and she helped me while I was feeling like my faith was not strong enough!!! "Beautiful Beautiful" is my favorite song and I'll definitely continue to support her because I believe she is one of the best singers out there and she needs all the recognition she can get. Can't wait to see her perform at the Dove Awards!!!
God bless you all

I completely empathize with Ms. Battistelli and Ms. Caldwell. I have a wife and four daughters. Last Spring, my mother-in-law moved in with us. I can spend all afternoon and evening cleaning the kitchen, dining room, and living room, and everything will be trashed by the time I get home from work the next day.

I am 12 yrs. old I love you! I love all your songs! What is the worst and the best part of going on a road show? You are one of my role models!

Last year, I was hearing I'm Letting Go so many times that I finally had to find out the artist. I listened to the little snip its of the songs and I immediately had to get the CD! I got it for Christmas and ever since then Francesca has been my favorite female artist <3 I even gave out my CD to a friend to borrow and she loved everything! We went on a girls' retreat with my youth group and Free to be Me came on the radio and we were all singing to it. It was amazing! I love Free to be Me, I'm Letting Go, <3 Beautiful, Beautiful <3 , It's Your Life, EVERYTHING!

hi francesca. i went to the follow you concert. it was awesome! i'm nine and my friend and i LOVE your cd.
god bless you on the road.
