"I Told You So" Carrie with Randy Travis from American Idol

[@johnparker8588]

I’m 70 years old and tear up every time I watch this because she had her entire career in front of her and Randy is very near the end.

[@jcmoser262]

Let’s not think about Randy Travis being at the end. He still going and incredible as he ever been. He still got it.

[@Carrieunderwood6111]

Hello

[@audiophileman7047]

Have you heard Randy's new single? With the assistance of AI, he's beginning anew. It's stunning what they've done to bring his voice back.

I am now 32; I am not sure that when I am old like your age I can feel about love and pain like now or not. Does love still in our soul?

[@Carrieunderwood6111]

Hello

[@countrygirl3847]

~AMAZING BEAUTIFUL~💕

[@susankelly4911]

Yeah I see the pride in Randy's face. That smile rather hewas so in awe. And Carrie is amazing. I dont think Carrie knows just how good she I really is. Which ses her even more beautiful. You see stars out there and they think they are Gods gift and they are not half as good.They act like like pure arseholes with their egos. This girl goes up on stage, shy and unsure of herself. And then goes and lights up the stage and everyones life with that those wonderful pipes of hers to the point she can bring us to tears. And lights up not just the stage but everyones life listening to her. And she still doesn't realise just how good she is. That's what makes us love Carrie I think. Randy certainly gets it. Both are amazing. God bless them. Good to see you back after your illness Randy. So glad you made it. Susan xxxx❤❤❤

[@josefarias6623]

I feel like Randy was supposed to sing more with her but he just loved hearing her sing his song and knew she was talented and wanted her to shine.

[@row759]

The reason, Carrie did most of the song was couple of reasons. Randy was feeling weak and he was going to let Carrie go solo, Carrie said if you don't perform I don't perform. And other reason is, Carrie can hit the high notes, Randy can't. Randy's deep vocals prevents him from getting as high as Carrie can.

[@joeyketcham6735]

Randy was actually sick during this performance, hence the reason his voice wasn’t 100% and let Carrie do most of the performance.

Her perfect, extended BELTS ending in perfect, prolonged vibrato kind of send me off.....I'm not her biggest fan - but it's clear why Carrie is a superstar. Even after so much success and rewards - she is still kind of underrated in country music? Because they don't like to go crazy over a "voice" alone and Carrie straddles the line between big hair twang and torn dress rock n roll. That said - Randy Travis' resonant, scratchy, tenor brought the emotion of this duet back down to earth. Carrie's upper harmonies are so pretty. I grew up on American Idol, but not country music.

she is a lovely Christian girl, beautiful and talented. She is blessed indeed and she knows it.

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

I don't believe "she knows" it so much as she is just so good! Not a mean bone in her body! She is blessed by God's love!

[@Gutslinger]

@@rhondaboncutter5812 Idk.. I've heard from a few people that had known her to party a lot. One of them even got into an argument with her at one of the parties. Lol

Randy loved this duet. His smile says everything

[@gregnormal4]

Hello!!! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day… Stay Safe!

[@robertdonkers]

Just amazing. Randy just loves her rendition. Her high notes all in chest, phew!!!!!

[@TheHeartOne]

Amazing performance! And what a gentleman: Take an incredible, classic song and allow a beautiful young lady to take "your song" and run with it, (with a smile!)! Randy Travis: Pure Class Act! Carrie Underwood: Beautiful Voice, Pure Talent!

[@row759]

Neither Randy or Carrie knew that when Carrie record this song and put it on her album and release as a single. It was going to turn into a blockbuster hit and return it to no. 1 hit. Carrie simply enjoy the song and that Randy wrote it was bonus. And she was just happy gave permission to do it. Rest of it was just a nice surprise.

[@ilovegoddoyou7003]

Hallelujah, whoever reading this, I pray that God visit your home with healing, blessings and miracles. Amen.💕

[@thomasennenga6908]

THANK YOU, people don't realize how much they need to hear that, I do

[@cammyacquilano8629]

I have listened to this song so many times. It never grows old to me. Randy so proud of her singing his song. He was asked to ask her if she would accept an invitation to the Grand old Opera.❤️❤️

[@TracySampy]

Despite his drug and alcohol issues, Randy Travis is a country music legend. I have loved him since the 80's and love him still. His music is timeless. Will we still be listening to FGL 30 years from now, like we do his music.

[@lovemuffin1963]

My late lil brother knew the words to all of his songs and was a big fan from the time Randy started (my bro was a teen) until he passed away. Hope Randy gets better with all of the issues he has had in recent yrs.
