This is the one song I will always remember and the movie she done as well. A very well done job ! We love you Miss Loretta! ❤

This is a perfect song to use as a special tribute to the late country queen!

[@aledojustajones]

😀 Wow, what a great sound and the crowd loved it too

[@estherbeck9948]

I was absolutely heartbroken when i heard of Loretta Lynn's passing. She is and always will be an inspiration to women across the world. She is never truly gone. Her and her legacy will live on in the hearts of her family, friends and her fans. Long live the queen of country music.

[@amandashires]

Thanks for having us!

[@a27garbo]

You were wonderful, sang with so much grit and feeling... this performance will be a classic and cherished in the future, hope you are proud ❣

[@taimia779]

Wow OMG what a fabulous tribute to one of the iconic original Southern Honky Tonk celebrated charismatic Country First Lady, & the myriad of accolades that bestowed the late & gracious Loretta Lynn over the multitude of decades. The alluring array of female Country superstar singers: Jennifer Nettles, Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood & the late Naomi & Wynonna Judd. I watched the biopic movie & fell in love with the Southern Charm & especially emotionally moved by the lyrics of the Coalminer's daughter, tears of heartache & memories of abject poverty in the olden days cascaded & streamed down my cheeks & face. Even though our society is experiencing challenges, this song tugs at my soul & heart strings, of how precious life is & that we should be kind & compassionate to all mankind. Embrace inclusion & diversity, Amen. May our Almighty Heavenly Father bless & comfort us all in the eternal loving name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.🙏✌🤞👌👍🤚👋🤘🤙✊👊👄💖💕💓❤💘💋💗💙💚🧡🧡💜💌❣💟💞💝Rest in Peace, Lady Loretta Lynn✨🎇🎆🎈🎉🎊🎋🎁🎀

Miss you Loretta I grew up on your songs. Rest in heavenly sweet lady

[@annied8611]

This was so great in person!

[@TheEdie1958]

A strong emotional connection to literature, painting, song, or illustrious person that is the kind of sentiment Loretta Lynn evokes. I saw her film biography and can identify as my grandmother was a strong resilient woman of humble beginnings.

The first singer really does sound like a coal Miner's Daughter. And I think they did a fine job. All are great singers. I'm sure Loretta would be proud.

[@GoodStuffForeverMore]

I thought the first singer sounded a lot like Loretta Lynn too. Her name is Amanda Shires. She's also a very good fiddle player.

[@bredixon7685]

Are you guys deaf because she did the worse out of all of them. They butchered this song.

[@Harleymoon123]

It would be nice if told each singers name. Country music has changed so much I don't know any of these girls.

[@gregorywolford6005]

Either do I I grew up listening to Loretta Lynn and everyone from that time period. Funny thing is I wasn’t born until 2003. But tbh it’s something about the older generations that made country what it is. Personally I like the old stuff better than what’s out now.

[@GoodStuffForeverMore]

This group is called The Highwomen. Starting from the left is Amanda Shires, Brittany Spencer, Brandi Carlile, and Natalie Hemby. Brittany Spencer is not an original member. She was filling in for Maren Morris. Hope this helps🙂

[@HookLineSinger]

From what I heard here, I don’t believe you’ve missed anything. They could have gotten someone much better to sing Loretta’s most famous song. Maybe even someone who could sing on pitch. This borders on disgraceful IMO.

[@maryhurst4663]

Only heard of Belinda Carlisle. Personally, I don’t think they have very good voices. There are singers at my church who would put them to shame. I guess it really is about being in the right place at the right time to get heard and sign a recording contract.

[@debraconner2493]

[@sandraskalnik387]

If you are going to sing a song that belongs to any artist especially one of the magnitude of Loretta Lynn, sing it the way it is written, both the lyrics and the music should be accurate.

[@11jhurley]

I love the Highwomen but I think this should’ve been by Wy, Patty Loveless, and Rebecca Lynn Howard. The East KY women

[@ramonasp4989]

Did they mean " Highway Women" ?

[@MsJourneyfan]

Nope, that's what they call their group. I've always wondered why they don't call themselves 'The Highway Women' instead of 'The Highwomen.' Do they not realize the name makes it sound like they're high on drugs? Ridiculous name.

[@MicheleBartonThomas]

@@MsJourneyfan When they released their first single, I wondered about their name as well and after doing some research I found that the name Highway Women was taken and they had been releasing music years before the Highwomen.

[@jonathanhendry9759]

Maybe not but people thought her song "The Pill" was too slutty.

I totally agree. She looked so tacky. She reminded me of the kind of female characters Loretta wrote about. Fist City and Women of the world comes to mind.

They were fantastic, some of people no longer hide your racism

[@troyhagen9843]

@pamalakiser5373 Brandi had already performed shortly before this singing Patsy Cline's "She's Got You". They weren't going to have her perform two songs solo.

[@bredixon7685]

Idk who these ladies are but they butchered Ms Loretta's song. Especially the 1st lady singing. So sad. Like another person said they should've let ladies like Reba, Martina, Trisha and a few other do this. Even Kelly Clarkson would've been my choice.

[@yankeetherebel]

Who are these chicks? I don't like this whole scraping the bottom of the talent barrel for a tribute to a wonderful woman like Loretta. They should have had a genuine talent like Carrie Underwood perform Loretta's most iconic song... not these randoms.

[@michelleb3698]

I couldn't agree more. These singers sound so unremarkable and the audience looks bored. Loretta had a unique voice and sang with enormous charm and attitude. It seems CMT used the event to highlight artists for record companies, as opposed to properly paying tribute to Loretta Lynn, a remarkable music icon.

[@yankeetherebel]

@@michelleb3698 Yes! Precisely and thank you for saying it better haha.

This sounded kind of flat. Like they didn’t put that feeling into it. Just too soft and uneventful. Go listen to Sara Evans sing Stand by your man. THAT is how it’s done!

[@itisjustmyopinion1]

"Go listen to Sara Evans sing Stand by your man. THAT is how it’s done!" Thank you, completely agree! Here are a few albums worth every cent you will spend. Martina McBride (Timeless), Patty Loveless (Sleepless Nights), LeAnn Rimes has two "tribute" albums. Anthony Wilson (My Friend The Jukebox), for me, is one of THE best cover albums I have, Vince Gill & Paul Franklin on steel guitar put out Bakersfield. There will be many who don't agree with my choices but I don't regret buying any of them. Two more suggestions, Tribute To Tradition (different artists), Alan Jackson (Under The Influence) Love them all, miss traditional country and what they play now is nowhere near country, hasn't been for many, many years. Not saying those who call themselves a country artist can't sing, am saying their music is not even remotely country, period. Put a different name on it, place it in a different genre.
