Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Brooks & Dunn - Cowgirls Don't Cry ft. Reba McEntire! Got me...

[@jvsmith7888]

Some interesting Reba McEntire facts: She was once a champion barrel racer in the rodeo, and she was discovered when another country singer heard her sing the National Anthem at a rodeo.

[@denanebergall5514]

Reba is also Third Generation Rodeo Royalty. Her dad and Granddad were in it too.

[@albertwhitehead4849]

I am 73 years old. Spent my whole life hiding my feelings and "being tough." Real men don't cry. Now everything makes me emotional, and I am continuously fighting back the tears. Took me a long time to realize that being compassionate, emotional, loving and caring is OK.

[@LaPinturaBella]

❤❤❤ Emotions are essential...they relieve stress, they enhance the good, they help you to cope with the bad. They are authenticity. They are the silken threads that woven together create the tapestry of one's life. Keep emoting. You are writing your life story for your loved ones.

[@annepinkerton6280]

You and I sound like two of a kind. The older I get (71 now), the more emotional I get! Have trouble watching things on here without tearing up!

[@sharongebbia5984]

It shows you have a heart ❤❤❤❤

[@MelissaCWilliams1]

The older my Dad got, he was the same way. Age gives freedom to let the emotions fly!❤

[@x0539p]

My husband spent the majority of his life hiding his feelings as he was raised to be a tough man. Turns out he is really an emotional man and I’ve seen his cry many times and his emotional sensitivity makes me love him more. His emotional world really opened up with the arrival of the grandkids. They are his world and they have him wrapped around their fingers.

[@catwhisperer9489]

This song was inspired by a real event. Reba and B&D have been friends, for decades---they opened for her, when they were first starting-out. They've been to each other's houses, been on vacations together, and their families are close, too. When lead singer Ronnie Dunn's daughter wanted a horse, Ronnie told her "no", cuz he was afraid she'd fall-off, and get hurt. She called "Aunt Reba", and Reba called Ronnie and gave him what-for, and he got his daughter a horse, and wrote this song!!! 😂 Reba was a real-life cowgirl, was, with her siblings, her father's ranch-hand. She competed, as a barrel racer, in rodeos, and won some---her father and grandfather were world champion steer-ropers---so, riding horses is in her blood!!! Fun fact: Ronnie showed-up, one time, wearing a rodeo belt buckle.... Reba asked him where he got it, and did not hide the fact that she was very unhappy that it had been given to him, just for singin' at a rodeo, and he hadn't *earned* it !!!

[@libertyblake873]

Baby, I'm 72 and the tears are streaming down my face. I've always loved Reba, Brooks and Dunn, and since I found you a few weeks ago, I ❤ you. Thank you so much for being real and being you.

[@RogerMcCauley-s1e]

No matter how many times I've heard this song, I get chills every time Reba starts singing. Great reaction

[@jealousjelly1]

Reba is a real-life cowgirl. She grew up on a ranch, was a champion rodeo barrel racer and her father was a world-champion steer roper. You should react to the official video of her duet with Cody Johnson (a former bull rider) called "Dear Rodeo." It's a lament about their having to leave the rodeo to follow their singing careers.

[@chrissynewman6642]

Remind me of my Grandaddy… he was 93 when he passed and born to in 1925… he never really stayed I love you but he showed it… he was just raised that way. Then my Grandmommy died in 2012 and my Mom in 2017 and after my Mom died he was ready to go and we lost him just 4 months after my Mom passed… but in those 4 last months he told us that he loved us every chance he got! Side note about him because I’m proud to call him my Grandaddy… he was in WW2 and was a POW, he was put in a firing line to where they were going to kill him and others but by the mercy of God something happened right when they were about to fire and it all got called off! Miss and love you always Grandaddy!

The Greatest Man I Never Knew Reba McKintyre

[@julieflanagan9853]

Absolutely! The Greatest Man I never Knew… a MUST! @blackPegassis

[@cbrucesbiz]

The kids, I get it. My daughter who is 26 now has a two year old girl from a divorce. I did all I could to expose her to all sports and she settled on soft ball. I coached her teams, for years She made the high school team at a top school. I trained her to defend herself in self defense along with how to use a gun if a life is at stake. She shoot better than me now. Master class training with some of the best on the east coast. Now we are watching her daughter when she is working her job. The love that little girl gives us warms the heart. Time to do it all again, do it even better, and so grateful to do so. The best to you and yours.

[@terryduncan31]

When Reba comes in, it grabs your heart and tears it out of your chest! Wow!

Brooks & Dunn ft. Reba - If You See Her/Him

[@cassianfalkener3706]

I prefer it, but I don't have kids, nor a father or mother. They didn't die, they just aren't a father or mother. I can understand and even agree with the sentiment, but can't relate on a personal level, so this song you've recommended is the one I prefer.

[@denanebergall5514]

This is the other major collab with them I was thinking of. I found it really cool at the time that the Original came out on both their album's but on Their Album it was If You See Her and on Reba's Album it was If You See Him. They didn't combine it to If You See Him/If You See Her till the music video.

[@albertwhitehead4849]

@@cassianfalkener3706 I grew up with the best parents and family life. I always thought that was the norm until I joined the Army and started to realize that many folks grow up in bad situations with bad parents and home life. I have nothing but sympathy for those folks. I just can't imagine.

[@dawgosa8505]

Props Brother. Former bull rider here with 3 girls and a son. They watched me ride for many years. I always told them, “Tonight might be my last night but rejoice in my legacy. You.” The girls did all the barrel racing, speed, flags, pole bending, all that. My son just supported his sisters. They all to this day respect and love me. My eldest daughter even wrote me a poem titled “My Hero and Beat Friend” what father could ask for more

[@CSF77733]

What a good Dad you must be & how proud you should be. Sounds like you are very blessed indeed. Would love to read your poem. ❤

[@dalehammers4425]

When Reba kicks in singing is when it finally truly gets you. Her voice is just magical.

[@rosemariediamond5948]

Yes. Raise your daughters to be strong and independent. Teach them to get up again when they get hurt or fail. But don’t make them hard so they don’t show their feelings or cry when they need to

[@TexasMagnolia]

Queen Reba!!!! Female Country Artists - You need them in your life!

[@lindawhite5006]

I WENT TO A COUNTRY SCHOOL. ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS RODE BARELL RACING IN RODEOS. SHE PASSED A FEW YEARS AGO...I LOVE YOU NORMA!!!

[@randiberry7412]

You don't ever have to apologize for being emotionally moved by a song. I'm a 67 year old cowgirl who had a daddy just like hers in the song. I had never heard this song until now, but my dad taught me how to ride, lifted me up through a broken marriage, and passed away 4 years ago this month. This song made me cry. Really cry.

[@lisaschrum1549]

The story of a dad raising a daughter to be tough & not let life get her down. My dad raised me that way & I cry every time I hear this song since he passed away.

[@amandataylor3003]

You should definitely listen to Reba on your channel. Fancy, the night the lights went out in Georgia, I'm a survivor, consider me gone. Reba is in a league of her own.

[@tessab.5379]

I'm almost 60 now, and this brings back memories of my granddaddy putting me on my first saddle..... good lord, I'm crying now!!!❤

[@LK-mo8bj]

Fathers are so important to helping girls set boundaries and be tough enough to make a good life

[@wickedlycharming]

Country music will do that to you! They deal with real life situations. As you get older country music starts to hit allot harder when your thinking back on this crazy life.

[@shelleytorok1406]

Country music will make you laugh OR tear your heart out and stomp on it before handing it back to you

[@valorica3210]

❤ we all grow through things that can either make us tough or damage us. When you’re going through it, GET UP. I lost my 22 year old daughter in a car wreck 10 years ago. I’m not gonna lie, my eyes were leaking listening to this song. But if you have grit, you can make it through. God gives us all the ability, we just have to seize it. Brooks and Dunn are phenomenal! Music is a great outlet for our emotions!

[@danitramontana391]

This song makes me cry every time, my daddy taught me to ride and is my absolute hero!!!

I haven't ever ridden a horse but I learned not to cry when I was a young girl. I only saw my Dad cry when his own father passed away. It shocked me to see him break for just a moment. He was the strongest person in the world to me. I miss him every day.

I recommend brooks & dunn and Reba singing, "if you see him, if you see her" together. Their voices are awesome together

B&D is a great duo. They had many hits. Reba McEntire used to be part of the rodeo competition on horses when she was younger.

Apparently I'm not a cowgirl either! First time I've heard this and the tears are flowing! I've raised my kids, half my grandkids are grown and I have 3 great grands, one who is a junior in high school! This just really hit home! I try so hard to teach them good lessons!!!!

BP, there’s nothing to be apologetic about for crying. A real man shows his emotions. You’re not living through Country music. Country musics lives through us. There’s a Country song for every emotion, memory, life moment, real life scenario, etc. That’s the never changing, ever beautiful impact of a Country song. Let the music live through you! You’ll find there’s so many songs that will move your spirit.

Well, Brooks & Dunn got me in my feels again. I'm a sixty-five year old woman and was always daddy's little girl. No matter how old he and I got, that never changed. He died a little over a year ago and it was one of the hardest losses I've been through. It doesn't matter that he's gone.....I'll always be his little girl. God I miss that man. 😥

Saw Reba/ Brooks & Dunn in Las Vegas and the show was epic! Three solid hours of singing between them, ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Gail

[@andrewwebb3248]

This song was originally released with just B&D while good it didn't have the same impact. As soon as Reba started signing the song just took the knife & carved the heart out.

[@teresacartwright5406]

Brooks & Dunn are one of the finest duos in music of any genre. Their song "Neon Moon" is terrific too. BTW, Austin Brown & Tim Foust (of Home Free) have a duet of Brooks & Dunn's song "My Maria" that's full of surprises and Austin has a solo of Neon Moon that's well worth listening. Thanks & my deepest respect for playing random music of any/all genres - too many channels now are only 'play if you pay'.

[@cathyorlowski1951]

BP it's ok to choke up and cry. It just means you were raised right and can show your feelings. You are human. ❤ Was raised this way. I cry but it takes alot to get me there.

Bro being a girl Dad at a different age really allows your inner feelings to shine through. I’m one also and I tear up and cry all the time at 55!! Being vulnerable is ok, protecting and crying go hand and hand. 🤘🏻💯🇺🇸

I’m so blessed that I had a great relationship with my dad. This song came out after my dad has passed. The first several times I heard this song I cried so hard because I missed him so much. Unfortunately, my dad never got to meet my horse Jessie. I know he would have loved him too. 🤟🐴🤠

[@cbrucesbiz]

To add I got that call about my grandpa and later about my dad. They were the first calls about death I received. Me and my cousins carried grandpas casket then me and my brothers carried dads. Hard lessons to learn. I think about them very often. All the lessons grandpa taught me on his farm and dad taught about sports, singing and the ladies. Lessons learned and to pass on the my kids and only grand daughter. Damn, Brooks and Dunn can sing.

Brooks and Dunn are an amazing duo. Ronnie Dunn got kicked out of a "university" in my hometown, because he played music in country bars.

[@denanebergall5514]

[@paulayala6174]

Now this one is sort of a true story. Ronnie Dunn of Brooks and Dunn was talking to Reba one day and told her that his young daughter wanted a pony/horse and he was trying to decide whether or not to get her one. Obviously, his worry was that she would get hurt learning to ride it. Reba, with extensive experience growing up on a cattle ranch, encouraged him to buy it and explained to him that it would help develop her courage and determination learning to keep getting back up whenever she falls. Ronnie followed her advance, wrote this song, and the rest was history.

[@LisaCrouch03]

One of my favorites but my grandad bought me ,my first pony when I was like 6 months old. I have a picture of him holding me on top of him. So that song.... I just love it

On top of that I have two little girls myself… holy cow I have never had this song hit so hard before! Wth 🤦

The first time I ever heard this, I immediately related to it. It spoke to me, the way you describe songs speaking to you and living the music through videos. Ironically, I AM a horsewoman, so the metaphor of "falling off and getting back again" is something that I learned very early in my learning stages. And that's also true of life. My life very much parallels this video. I was in those shoes. It was a genuine pleasure to see you react to this and describe how I feel when I hear it.
