FIRST TIME REACTING TO | GEORGE STRAIT "TROUBADOUR" REACTION

George is great.....all his music is very good. Listen to more of his hits.

A troubadour is basically a traveling singer/musician. All of those behind King George on stage are all pretty much country music stars in their own right. As you said, this demonstrates how much George Strait is respected.

[@donna865]

This was the closing number for a tribute show where George was awarded ACM Artist of the Decade (this was in 2009 I believe) - all those behind him had performed during the show. Lee Ann Womack sang a song she wrote for this show - "Just Stand There And Sing" perfectly describing how in a time when other artists were adding all kinds of flash and flare to their stage shows, George continued to "just stand there and sing" his songs (to sell out crowds no less). Yeah, there's a reason he's the King.

[@toniborras2691]

He’s the king because he’s so darn talented. He is married to his high school sweetheart and has no skeletons or controversies. He’s worthy of respect.

[@Gutslinger]

I think that was a show that honored George Strait. My favorite performance from that show was Brooks and Dunn singing "The Cowboy Rides Away". Jamie Fox told a little story and sang "You Look So Good in Love".

George straight is a living legend. You should know that he has more number 1 songs than any other artist in any music genre with 61. This show is his retirement farewell.

George came on the scene when country had gone poppy. He brought neo traditional country back. Hence the King.

this whole show was just for George King George they call him and for a reason

[@mrich998]

King George. 60 number one hits, the most of any artist in music history. He has a song for every stage of life. The way he can convey a story is unmatched in my opinion.

George Strait is the greatest

[@sitnhere]

He's KING GEORGE.....King of Country Music. We were buds at college together and drank many beers together late night after the music stopped. He grew up on a ranch like I did.....around San Antonio. He's the real deal and a truly great person.

[@sitnhere]

Jamie Foxx is born and raised from NE Texas.....up northeast of Dallas in Terrell, Texas. He ain't no city boy, niether.

[@survivalconcerns515]

Saw King George at the Kentucky State Fair 30 years ago. This is how he performs, stands at the mike and just lays down pure country gold for about 2 hours.

[@Gutslinger]

Blake Shelton was with Miranda Lambert before he got with Gwen. If you want to hear a song from her, "Mr. Tinman" is pretty great. She wrote that one after they divorced.. I think even performed it at the award show with Blake in the audience. Gwen might've been in the audience too. I can't remember.

[@generaldkj15141]

This was when George got entertainer of the Decade

[@kevinerose]

George Strait is like the best country singer to come around. Everything he touches is gold.

[@bkbentley]

King George

[@jayps1225]

The reason why all of those celebs are on stage with George Strait. Is because he is so good and so successful. Everyone strives to have his success one day. He is a legend and most likely an idol to everyone on that stage

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Britt, to put it simply, a troubadour was a person who performed songs and poems and traveled from town to town performing. The pretty blonde next to Blake was his then wife who is a huge country star Miranda Lambert. Gwen is actually his 3rd wife. This was a tribute show as I believe George had been named Entertainer of the decade. All these folks are huge George Strait fans and all performed George's hits on this special, and then came back out to do the finale with him. The song you probably heard Leanne do was her cover of Blue.

[@bryanmyers3896]

That was Lee Ann Womack when you asked if that was his wife. Jamey Johnson and Lee Ann Womack "Give it away" is a great performance they did for George.

I believe a song you will fall in love with, is "The Chair." the original video when he was younger.

[@wileydr]

That’s so true she would like that one. Has that twist at the end would love to see her reaction to that.

[@Gutslinger]

Leanne Rimes' song "Blue" is my favorite from her.. The vocal notes in that song, you never hear anymore. But most people know her from "How Do I Live Without You".

[@Thom1212]

Britt needs to listen to "Blue"

[@wileydr]

True, but she may remember hearing it before.

[@tjsheba143]

Her singing Acapella “Amazing Grace” is one of hers I will never forget

[@matthewdooley7855]

Dang I missed this! Glad I rolled back through and found it. Love George's voice so much. Pretty much everybody in country music does, too. There's probably a 1,000 hit records on that stage. Sad because an industry giant was much closer to the end of his career than the beginning, and that's pretty much what the song is about. Strait's voice is earth.

[@samuphouse5969]

Just the best ever

[@Dana-fy8bg]

Troubadour came out when King George decided that he was going to seriously cut back on his touring. Some mistakenly thought that he was retiring, but he kept performing when and where he wanted. That included a stint in Las Vegas and some appearances in his native Texas.

He is the King of Country. He had a habit of taking singers no one knew on tour with him to open. I believe Taylor Swift open for him at one point before she hit the rocket ship to mega star. This was a tribute to George that was broadcasted on CBS. Jamie Fox acutely preform You Look So Good In Love. Pretty good cover.

[@laurogarza4953]

This is a teaching opportunity that I would like to exploit. Mr. Strait, like myself, is from south Texas and the real thing in that he, too, was raised on a cattle ranch and is not, as the saying goes, "All hat and no cattle." It is important to mention at this point that he had been singing in dance halls in and around Texas for years before having his first recording published and released in 1981. Prior to that time, there had been on the radio, "Country and Western" music and there were "C&W" clubs and dance halls too. Great vocalists from Texas like Dan Seals, Paul Davis and elsewhere, including Michael Martin Murphey, were told to "...loose the hat!" They did and experienced success, in the 1970s, as vocalists singing popular romantic songs with orchestrations not unlike modern interpretations of compositions for Sinatra, Martin, Como and Andy Williams of the 50s and 60s. Thus, Western music was relegated to the trash heap of modern radio played music. It as about 1980 when all that changed...in a big way! Radio stations no longer played "Western" music like Marty Robbins great western hits like "Saddle Tramp," "Tumblin' Tumble Weeds" or "El Paso." Radio stations stopped calling themselves "Country and Western" but simply "Country music stations." However, this movement which reportedly began in Nashville, disenfranchised Texas artists like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and more and together they began what became known as the "Outlaw Country" music movement. They refused to be what the Nashville publishers wanted of them and went on to play music they enjoyed and that praised Texas and the south west. They also praised their predecessors of the 40s and 50s including Ernest Tubb and Bob Wills who were famous for "Western Swing" which was dance music so popular in all over Texas and nearby states. At the start of the 1980s, those artists who had previously put away their hats, put them back on and went on to have great success in Country music and with more than a few Western music songs including Dan Seals who, with his hat on, recorded hits like "Meet me in Montana" with the beautiful and talented Marie Osmond and "Everything that Glitters in Not Gold" and the retro sounding dance song, "Bop!" Paul Davis recorded an album of western hits and Michael Martin Murphey who had recorded a beautifully orchestrated song entitled "Wildfire!" which had been a popular music hit in the late 1970s leveraged that success to build a truly great western music singing and touring career with several western music hits including, "Tie Knots in the Devil's Tail," "Red River Valley" and the fun song "Cowboy Logic." It is my opinion that the unknown singer from south Texas named George Strait, who refused to "....loose the hat" and who had his first country music hit in 1981, served as the catalyst for these older artists to express more fully themselves and opened doors for a whole new set of artists including Garth Brooks, Mark Chesnutt, Clint Black, Toby Keith and Alan Jackson, all of them wearing hats! All of these artists went on to have many great country music hits and many of them included in their albums at least one classic western music hit including George Strait who, early in his career, recorded "Amarillo by Morning" which was another western swing song popular in the dance halls. Singing in Spanish went away in 1980 with Western music where it had been previously appreciated. Without a radio venue, Tejano artists sought, like Willie and Waylon, to publish their own music and charter their own radio stations with "Tejano" music. Many singing artists from Texas have had great success in Country and Western music but only a few had success singing in Spanish which includes Marty Robbins, Freddy Fender, Johnny Rodriguez, Emilio Navaira and George Strait who sang the classic Mexican romantic song, "El Rey" with beautifully articulated Spanish. Thus, Mr. Strait, who now resides outside San Antonio, did much more than have more number one hits than any other American recording artist, more than 60, he helped to preserve Western music and Western Muisc sung in Spanish as well. I encourage you to continue this journey into country AND western music and also enjoy some "Cajun" music from our good neighbors in Louisiana and "Tejano" music from my relatives in south Texas, neighbors with Mr. Strait. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Mr. Strait was the most influential, best known, most successful country music artist of the 20th century and beyond.

Conway Twitty had the most number 1 hits in country music, until he past away. Then George took the number one spot for the most number 1 hits in country music.

I know you don't do movie reactions, but you might want to watch his movie Pure Country. I don't think movie reactors could do it because their is so much of him singing that copyright would mute most of the movie. But it's a beautiful love story. The plot is he has become wary of all the glits and showmanship of touring. He ups and walks away, then meets a woman that doesn't know who he is and falls in love

[@ronnywestberry9503]

George has 61 number one hits and many top 20. So he is considered royalty because he has made so many songwriters successful

[@joepiper9476]

This was when he was named the Country Music Artist of the Decade. All of those people on stage are musicians who performed one of his songs at the Ceremony. I cannot remember them all but a couple of notables that you didn't mention are Brooks and Dunn and Garth Brooks. Garth Brooks was the one in the black cowboy hat just smiling but not singing. The reason he wasn't singing is he couldn't, he was geeking out because he is a HUGE George Strait fan and has said that Strait is the reason he himself became a Country music singer. Strait gave several of the artists that were up there their start, I know for a fact both Martina Mcbride and Miranda Lambert toured with him as his opening act at the beginning of their careers. Also, a Troubadour is a traveling lyrical poet (singer) and Strait was basically Looking back on his life up to that point. "I was a young Troubadour, when I rode in on a song. I'll be an old Troubadour, when I'm gone."
