Thank you Brandie Carlisle for reminding us the precious helpfulness of Loretta Lynn coal miners daughter she went out of her way to help other singers and you emphasize that and that you would do the same in your career 😢

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 ❣

[@amateurmeteorologistjoshbrown]

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

[@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.

[@debbiesmitherman9295]

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! ❤

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✨🎇🎆🎈🎉🎊🎋🎁🎀

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

[@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.

[@sleuthentertainment5872]

I just imagine Loretta smiling and crying while watching this

[@libertyann439]

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.

[@futurepresidentwilliamreed9155]

Think again.

[@lisap6645]

Sorry yall but, Natalie's the best one on this song. She sings as close to Loretta as you can get. You go girl !!

[@sarahparton-fe2nm]

It’s not about sounding like Loretta, it’s a tribute! Why do you have to be such, negative Nancy. People like you is what’s wrong with the world

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]

Only knew one

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

Thanks so much for this! Who's singing at 1:45?

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.

[@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.

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.

[@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.
