Karen Waldrup Digs Deep and SHINES with Her Performance of "Heart Like a Truck" | The Voice Playoffs

[@nothingv1944]

No one can deny that that is a worthy recording voice. It captures the ears to listen.

[@TombCat]

She has many albums and awards & over 400 million KZbin views to prove your point!

[@cathyclunysois]

This woman is the whole package: looks, talent, confidence, EVERYTHING. She should definitely be a star.

[@abigaylegardner]

[@pameversole5886]

That voice is RADIO READY!!

[@joannaaguilar4961]

That song was the blast ,lainey wilson will be wowed and amazed

[@NomeCultJoe]

damnit she already sounds like a country pro and her stage presence is perfection

[@TombCat]

That's because she is. A very experienced and well known country singer.

[@ChaulThe]

A lot of touring on intimate venues for a decade. She also actively engages with her fans online and they tend to stick around. And even so, as far as I know, she still didn't get any record deals or perform on truly big venues. I saw her once in Nashville by chance in 2015 and have followed her updates ever since.

[@charliecrackers4643]

She’s been a great for years. A local queen.

[@guyluvsbeauty]

She sings with determination and substance! She’s fierce!

[@dartagnanohara9190]

All those saying hear her on the radio, you really should hear her live. OMG it is a pure privilege to see this beautiful woman give out the most amazing vocals. I have never in 61 years went to a country bar or concert to hear a performance but I proudly say I so went to hers. Next to Reba she is definitely on the same tier and shines like no other. If she comes near you then you must grab up them tickets fast. So worth the money and time. 💜💜

[@dluv101]

This woman is absolutely incredible. I'm not even a big country fan but her voice is soo dang good she's undeniable

[@judybeck8313]

Karen, I am not a country music enthusiast, but I found your performance really moving, and you looked beautiful as you belted out that song. I respect your commitment to your career. Congratulations on making it to Lives--well deserved!

[@gasmasongs]

She should be a country star right now, thrilling performance!!

[@jamesAGarfield608]

She is good but id argue tae is better this season

[@monica-crystalarandia4081]

SHE’s A PRO AND DESERVES TO WIN THIS SHOW!!! My favorite of the whole competition!

[@robertantonnyc]

quickly into that storyteller vibe, such a pleasing tone with a little bite, great focus to it. This felt good, honest. She navigated this story so well, made me feel something.

[@oldsoul1187]

This woman has the type of voice that is recognizable when you hear it "come on the radio." I admit, she has won me over, when I am not a big country music fan. I hope she is the winner.

[@07z51]

Absolutely unbelievable. What a performance, what a voice. I think I've played her singing Georgia Rain at least 100 times. She better win.

[@ColleenOLeary-kw3ci]

I havent heard that but I will check it out! She's GREAT!!!

[@rubiesea9141]

if given the right songs, she has a classic country voice that we currently need to listen to more on the radios!

[@goddard3]

Karen is the real deal and very humble. Myself and several other friends go to her shows every time she comes to metro Atlanta and always hangs out after - I hope this is her make it big moment because we have always known she’s star quality- so proud of her!!

[@nlockett1]

I never listen to country until she hit the stage I have this song on repeat she’s beautiful she’s talented I love me some her yeeeeaaaaazzzz ❤❤

[@pamelaking9715]

Ive been following Karen Waldrup for the last 12 years! Im loving that she's FINALLY getting some recognition!! Check out her KZbin video of Amazing Grace ..just her singing...that's it! I've known all along, this lady....She is a star! 😊

[@TheWynch]

Perfect country voice, looks and style

[@Cyannah117]

This lovely lady knows her lane and absolutely shines! ❤

[@leighshell1784]

Her tone is BOMB and she never missed a note.

[@cheesesteak22]

💣💥

[@annbartelt1906]

Karen, whatever happens, thank you! THANK YOU!!❤ for sharing your gift with everyone! You are a star, and deserve to win, you deserve a contract, an album, a concert tour - but there is stiff competition this season, so I’ll say it now: congratulations! Well done!!!🎉

[@donnanason6379]

I am a rocker and Never been a country lovin gal but this woman has the purest and most amazing voice and she totally deserves to win! No one elses voice has this same absolute perfection. Shes 10,000 times more gifted than most of what they call talent these days. ❤❤❤

[@bonniebostic6266]

She is the VOICE!!! Want to hear her songs on the radio!

[@kall4less]

Outstanding, breathtaking, incredible!

[@dartagnanohara9190]

Karen you are still the most beautiful, down to earth, amazing singer I have ever met. I know you don't remember me but I met you live at the tipsy cow bar in Lexington KY. I hate country but there is not a song you could sing I wouldn't love. I have all your music on download and you could sing the phone book I would buy it. Only thing I miss is your family doing all the promotions and the give aways of which I never won one but one of these days I will 🤣🤣🤣 You do realize you have already won this whole thing and that song so proves why your so great. 💜💜

[@HeroShades]

Karen is amazing as always! Perfect song choice for her as she can sing the phonebook. I love everything she does. She gave her best performance of the season and crushed it. She is a pro. The real deal. Happy she made it through.

[@richmondca1]

I think this is the winner. She grows every week.

[@susanewing3611]

She’s amazing!!! The winner

[@clyderaw]

I’m so proud of her! She has been performing for many years and she is Awesome!!

[@_AceReject]

I love Karen! I'm not a country fan! But KAREN! She is perfect! I have been saying this since her blind, she doesn't only sing, she tells the story of the songs and that is why she is so ahead of the others in terms of storytelling and moving. It doesn't evem seem staged! That is smt so natural about her artistry! Karen is one of those artists that no matter what happens in this show I will deffo follow her career after this!

[@jarenciogeda3930]

Damn it was so good, that money note (heart) was so smooth. Karen should have been in the music industry a long time ago.

[@mfadhelabdi]

for me she is the winner whatever the others sayed. This woman has the purest and most amazing voice and she totally deserves to win! No one elses voice has this same absolute perfection.

[@troydunlap3150]

I literally got ‘goosebumps’ listening to her sing this song! 🎤 🎶 -BRAVO ! ❤

[@ladikmk]

Waldrup made that song all hers. She owned every single beat of it, sang it to perfection and owned that stage. She has the whole package.

[@elang9212]

I did this seasons blinds like the coaches this is one of the people I did not turn for I regret it she is the best country singer on the voice

[@ezmarke6204]

Awesome singer with great stage presence ! Deserves to win on that performance alone.....

[@ginapetolicchio2684]

She's stunning and her voice is just wow I do like her a lot she could possibly win and I love this song very much

[@lauracoussens6207]

Every time I watch her sing I feel like I should have paid for a ticket. She's already at the top.

[@JoshuaWaltz-fj4rg]

Karen Waldrep is awesome. I've followed her career for years.

[@shelbycovington4831]

[@bidudecomments]

[@catwhisperer9489]

[@yatzkiekc395]

amazing performance.

[@Forbye4]

Excellent as always! Karen has some good competition. And that’s great.

[@transparentsoull]

i don’t like country but whewwww this was too good 100% deserved

[@BacknMetro]

Same. I'm not a country fan but this was good. She just kept hitting those high notes and sustained them like forever. And it didn't stop. When does she have the time to breathe. Jeesh.

[@reneejames2152]

You just think you don’t like country because the country played on the radio is not REAL country. Listen to Jamie Johnson (In Color) ( Lord Take me Home)Colter Wall ( Devil wears a suit and tie )Tyler Childers, Oliver Anthony… REAL country is amazing because it’s sung with feelings and written with deep emotion… it’s not the pop country you hear on the radio. My husband never liked it either until he heard the songs from some of the artists I mentioned to you. Now he’s HOOKED Lol. If you have Pandora…create a country station with one of those artists names and it will play music by similar artists… you will love what you hear. Happy listening ❤

[@haveyouseenlouispigeon]

@@reneejames2152Country has many different sectors, there’s not one form of country. But I do love me some Tyler Childers!

[@jamesAGarfield608]

​@@BacknMetrou can't deny country winner may happen this season with tae

[@jamesAGarfield608]

@@reneejames2152 id argue it IS real country bc I do like me some Luke combs in particular but yeah the new country is terrible overall Zach Bryan's another exception to the "radio bad country" idk man to call it fake country seems a bit harse esp for a artist like Luke combs who isn't as bad as some of the newer artists out there like Morgan wallen jelly roll etc i actually prefer country rock however ur kip moores and Luke combs of the world the older stuffs pretty good tho

[@scottthompson1851]

She sings the best hallelujah I've ever heard

[@lisastanbaugh2034]

They are aĺl so talented have my faves but all so good

[@thehoop74]

I wish she'd cover a Sugarland song. Reminds Me of her so much

[@LeeleeGilbert]

Oh yea, I see that. She sounds like her

[@ganjabarb]

I don’t like country but I’m rooting for her. Beautiful voice, beautiful story.. good music is good music. ❤ downloaded the song

[@catwhisperer9489]

Oh, I'm so torn between her and Nathan, for my 5th, in my top 5!!! Nathan is like, Broadway-ready, but this girl is top-shelf, too!!!!

[@Joylove7777]

Great performance ❤

[@chelsearoberts9035]

She’s insane. Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, LeeAnn, Terri, Jo Dee, Shania, Jennifer insane. Like I feel like I’ve taken a Time Machine every time she performs.. there’s no way she’s undiscovered before now. There’s no way she doesn’t have albums that went head to head with the list of 90’s country female greats. They were the best that ever did it in my millennial lifetime and she is somehow retroactively added to that list?!

[@catwhisperer9489]

Wow, I really like how you put that !!!

[@jaelespinoza5062]

Sing Karen!

[@RidwanJayofficial]

I like her voice

[@merlikamitchel2557]

Shes 1 of top runners

[@sold0ut4god36]

Karen made this her song…I’d definitely buy her recorded version!

[@megand4916]

Great song I like her

[@TombCat]

Well Karen is a country pro. Not everyone hits the big time, but she's not new. She's a better singer than a lot of country music stars. The Voice invites singers to audition for the show. Her voice is excellent and she totally knows how to sing. Both things are not always true. I really like her. She's had a #1 video before, been named Nashville's Best Live Performer, was a finalist on Rising Star and has released a number of albums. Been featured in Rolling Stone and People magazine. She's charted on the Billboard Top 100. Her songs have over 400 million views. In other words, she's a ringer. The Voice does this a lot.

[@gazi5903]

I see the reflection of Jacquie Roar in her from the blinds.

[@Kayumari]

This is very good

[@mollymatheny5434]

Im really surprised she didn't win she's that good

[@giuseppespinello5525]

She's got a good chance of winning
