[@pedro6720]

If someone NAILS ANY tribute in the country music, and maybe ousite of it, is CARRIE fricking UNDERWOOD

[@richsage3235]

Anyone else having mini-lockdown concerts at home watching these performances?

[@Thomperfan]

For me, I’m trying to re-watch the entire 2019 KCH.

[@annfrommassachusetts4058]

Yes definitely. I’m now doing a few repeat mini concerts

[@chrissiewindsor]

I’m sick & home pretty much all the time. I have Apple Music, but I adore the live performances on here.

[@Clinton325i]

Don't hear any country vocalist better than Underwood

[@joelvasquezvillanueva4997]

She sounds so amazing her voice is incredible!!

[@denisparker4916]

In my opinion Carrie is the best female singer to hit the country scene for years

[@diway18]

Many years active but couldn't outsell the queen of country-pop, Shania Twain...

[@luisgutierrezgarcia2287]

Yes absoluti

WONDERFUL tribute to Linda!! ❤️💝💖🎉🎶👏🏼

[@yzz8866]

Love this. Love hearing Carrie sing live. One of the best.

[@user-fz1yr9cn8p]

i love how carrie’s control and poise just get better as she gets older!!

[@madvidz9819]

Carrie is a singer and that’s the difference . Unfortunately a lot in her business can’t really sing . So there you go .

[@florenciafigueroa6455]

Linda, I pray🙏 for you and I appreciate your Beautiful 🎤voice.Thank you for sharing your Talent❣️

[@donnamartinez3443]

Not just anyone could sing this song but Carrie nailed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@aubreyspray2514]

I love this song so much!!!!! She did it beautifully

[@daviddavenport6896]

Just think what the world may never have discovered if American Idol judges hadn’t brought her forward! I’ve listened to Linda Rondstadt most of my life. She is phenomenal!!!

[@guggenheimlloyd6714]

Ronstadt was the Queen of her scene and was in possession of one the most glorious voices of the 20th Century. This is a heartfelt honor from Ms. Underwood. Linda live was something else - no one in her league.

[@hopebarrow1959]

Wow...it doesn't matter what Carrie sings, she always does it so well. We thank God for her talent. Well done!

[@susan1098]

She does a beautiful rendition. I’m sure she made Linda proud

[@Debbie_George]

watching this brings me back to that time when singers like Linda gave it all and were worth all the Gold. Carrie did a great performance

[@JussOliveira]

This song definitely belongs to Linda. God bless her.

[@thomascoburn5481]

No it belongs to Roy Orbison

[@chrissiewindsor]

Yes it does, & I’m a Roy Orbison fan. She took this song & made it her own, forever. We love you, Linda.

[@maurahobart8414]

And Carrie Underwood doesn’t even come close. I cringe at her yelling…Linda owns this song and I feel certain Roy Orbison loves Linda’s timeless rendition.

Very fair that they recognized the marvelous trajectory of the grreat Linda Ronstadt, carrie tries but falls short of Linda's great power!...Linda, unique and unrepeatable!...

MAN!!!! We NEED a full orchestra-based album from Carrie like for Yesterday...

Beautiful rendition! I hate it tho because it brings me back when I was young which I am no more😂

[@azraprinceza]

I 💙 U forever queen

[@JamesRonstadt]

Big hit for Linda that most forget Roy Orbison was the original. Roy also does this song justice I think around 1963? 🌴😎🌈Aloha

Roy was superb. No one was better or more gifted

My favorite cover of this song is Alisan Porter on her blind audition of The Voice! I hope Linda sees it too, she would love it!

[@bruno_diniz]

Agree. Hug from Brasil.

[@michaelpatrick7888]

fantastic loved it

[@janetsaeger8439]

Even though Roy Orbison and Linda Ronstadt each owns this song in their own way, they're no longer with us. Thank goodness for Carrie Underwood.

[@dcal3775]

Linda was literally sitting there in that video...very much still with us. However, she has Parkinsons and can no longer sing. 💙

[@RisingEdge111]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@raymondkyleds1932]

Carrie sounded a liitle strange to me. This isn't her typical sound, but I super love this performance. Impeccable voice! I love her control.

[@brendagoff1]

It’s the orchestra instead of traditional music

[@joshuahelton5323]

Yes!! I thought the exact same thing.

[@erichoyd150]

It wasn't a great performance.

[@ericfisher8262]

Amazing performance!

[@DrRonArt]

I imagine it's quite nerve-racking, even for a star singer, to cover a legendary singer or band.

[@deannahernandez6394]

Yup that's right it's Linda's song but Carrie slayed the crap out of that song... Just saying

[@rayrobbins4625]

This song was recorded by Roy Orbison in 1961 . Linda recorded it in 1977. Give credit where it is due . I also love Linda .

[@RandallVentresca]

Linda's version became way more popular than Orbinson's.

[@BigDanTeague]

I think even Roy Orbison would prefer Linda's version, and I'm an Orbison fan, and his version was superb, but Linda's version is heavenly.

[@11calman]

Miss Underwood did a great job with this one, Similar voice to my Favorite lady, But I think would have liked the guitars plus the solo better the old way

[@lars277]

None of Linda Ronstadt's single hits were written by her. She covered for Blue Bayou, which was written by Orbison and Melson, and When will I be loved was a Phil Everly written song.

[@ericfisher8262]

Linda's great no doubt but I believe Carrie's version to be more silky smooth and beautiful. The chorus was sang with more power and less effort. Carrie is a master!

[@RandallVentresca]

😂

[@peony2353]

I wish she would do a album of covers and include blue bayou, the Elvis song she sang with Yolanda Adams, and Dolly Parton

[@jamesconner3437]

Carrie has the chops to take legendary songs and make you see them in a slightly new mood. Greatly appreciate that I've lived long enough to watch her career. Definitely HOF calliber herself. P.S. How she ever rocked classy gorgeous better than this outfit PPS : if you haven't heard her performance of How Great Thou Art , search for it soon !

[@kellyanndean9374]

Do u need a hearing aide???carrie is no Linda!!! Carrie hasnt gotten the power vocal that Linda has!! U need to get a hearing aide!

[@ramabilal72]

@@kellyanndean9374 she's the carrie underwood, the reigning queen of country. She's no linda but she also has big or maybe bigger name on herself. It's tribute performance, not a singing competition.

[@Heinrich29031919]

She did the best she can, but nothing compared with Linda's voice. That's the true, sorry Carrie

[@lars277]

'It's so easy' song was written by Buddy Holly. So, it is one covered songstress, sung by another covered songstress.

[@paulterwilliger1803]

Need linda's original band to play this with Carrie..some obscure band called The Eagles.

[@MrFloydSaunders]

A good signer, but nobody does it like Linda Ronstadt. (And she was rather critical of her recording of this song).

[@iancalleja3898]

100% something is missing and something not right .

[@justiss4all1]

Should have had Allison Porter do it.

[@britneybeach6723]

She would've nailed it. Why is she not a household name?

[@francinepoirier8031]

Nice job, but no none sings it like Linda.

[@julig7450]

That was really good but i think was so much better Alisan Porter in the voice and Linda Ronstadt

[@spindriftdrinker]

This is nice, but I prefer the peppier tempo of the original Roy Orbison version.

[@Rocky_Balbowa]

Alisan Porter the best cover

[@martab5742]

Linda was so sincere when she sang this song.. effortless and touching my heart deeply while carrie just show if she can sing. Sorry. Always miss ms linda.

[@hunterdude4519]

What a super talent...but why does someone as pretty as Carrie think that she needs to do all that work to her face.

[@bellajohnson5647]

I agree. The Lips....should never have done them. All Natural is prettier.

[@nathans.5911]

Aw i was hoping it wasnt true. but I thought they looked extremely unnatural. Her and Ellie Goulding are the same person now that they got theyre lips puffed up. It seems to have affected her singing 2 y does it sounds so hoarse

[@KyleKleef]

@@bellajohnson5647 she had an accident in 2017, over 40 stitches across her face and broke her wrist, much of the work was and has been corrective.

[@sosaiatuiafungia4656]

No one can beat the original version

[@lynnharrell9598]

You mean Roy Orbison’s in 1961?

[@sosaiatuiafungia4656]

Linda's version and if you love Roy's version and that was very great too but they were very effortless thanks Lynn for replying

I was actually looking for this comment, because - same! I don't want to hate on carrie but, yeah.

[@CountryCowboy008]

Yeah enjoy her and her fats

[@jamieballif4927]

Did she get her lips done???? They look way fuller. I sure hope not. She is such a natural beauty all around.

[@janischristiansen6689]

Looks likes she did... yuk..

[@bellajohnson5647]

Oh my! Lips not natural now... The natural was prettier.

[@KyleKleef]

@@bellajohnson5647 She had an accident in 2017 where she fell and busted her face. She broke her wrist and needed 50 stitches across her lips to her nose. She looks different because of corrective plastic surgeries. It’d be nice if people did some research because over this time she also suffered three miscarriages and it’s this kind of mindless judgment that drowns people in depression... be kind.

[@meow-ge7xk]

it's so short..

[@wonkhong]

[@hannahhardy7557]

Kelly Clarkson sings this. KZbin. Just listened to her.

[@fuckurbody]

Kelly did the song closer to original arrangement. Kelly is a better & more versatile singer and did alot better than carrie on this song on my opinion

[@CountryCowboy008]

Carrie can sing circles around Kelly. Kelly, on the other hand, can obliterate Carrie in a pie eating contest. So, win-win!

[@ericfisher8262]

Kelly wishes she could sound as beautiful as Carrie!

[@atolm1]

Her version is lovely but Kelly's version and especially Alison Porter's on the Voice are the best I feel.

[@ericfisher8262]

No

[@duckypam]

Great great voice but not Linda 🐐

[@rosemarsili9159]

Her voice was wonderful here, but the instrumentals weren't great at all. If it had just been her voice and an acoustic guitar or guitar combined with drums, it would have been much better.

[@Debbie_George]

I don't like the strings on this.

[@carolaynstewartraitt9954]

You know i love carrie but am i the only one that feels she just isnt my favorite singer. Though i havnt heard all her songs and i did love jesus take the wheel.

[@ericfisher8262]

Nope, I feel exactly opposite! She is absolutely my favorite singer! Exquisite!

[@thomascoburn5481]

Why does everyone think this is Linda's song? It's fucking Roy Orbisons

[@joesalazar8476]

Why did she sing this song??? Great song but she fucked it up.

Carrie looks so different, plastic surgery??

[@KyleKleef]

She had an accident a few years back and busted her face. Needed like 50 stitches across her mouth up to her nose... she’s surely had corrective surgeries since then so yes... plastic surgery, but not really elective.
