Please give me your opinion. I sang this in the Finals of Greer Idol competition 2 weeks ago. I don't know how to set up a link but it's at greer idol . com doug allen finals Thanks
@cardiffbluesgirl It's a matter of taste which you prefer but gotta say..Gloria isn't the singer Shelby is. She doesn't have the strength of voice Shelby OR Mel Carter have. Personally I feel this song works better when sung with a strong voice.
I was trying to point out that aside from taste, there are different aspects to singing as well. In an ever so polite fashion, not wishing to offend any Gloria fans, I was also expressing my opinion that technically speaking, Shelby is the better singer. ;)
But of course ultimately it always comes down to who touches you more emotionally as to what rendition you like best.
@reddragonready You are absolutely RIGHT !!!!!!!!! They told ELVIS to go back driving a truck and the rest is MUSIC HISTORY !!!!! How about 32 Number ONE HITS WORLDWIDE and approx. 2 BILLION RECORD SALES !!!! ELVIS definitely touches people.
@bootseybuddy Whatthe hell are you talking about? Nobody mentioned Elvis. It's a shame and a mystery why Cardiff removed her comments but the discussion was about Shelby Lynne's singing of this song ( and generally) v. Gloria Estefan. Elvis was not mentioned.
Personally I agree Elvis touched people AND he happened to be a great singer. The amount of hits and records sold unfortunately often has no correlation to singing
abilities.:( Or Shelby would be selling 2 billion as well. ;)
@reddragonready You're IGNORANT . I agreed with you and you still BITCH !!!! You say nobody mentioned ELVIS , then proceed to AGREE with me that he "touched people ." That's what the HELL I'm talking about !!!! If the # of HITS and RECORDS SOLD has NO correlation to singing , then explain how ELVIS has sold about 2 BILLION records !!!! It's ABSURD to say SHELBY " would have sold 2 BILLION as well." ELVIS is in 4 Music Genre Hall of FAMES - nobody else !!!
@bootseybuddy Dear boots, your aggression is incredibly misplaced. I am sorry your English comprehension is not up to my writing ability. :(
Maybe someone can "translate" what I actually said for you? :Someone who isn't obsessed with Elvis Presley to the point where it seems they perceive criticism where there is compliment. Have a nice day now :)
@reddragonready Your aggression," what the HELL am I talking about " was "incredibly misplaced." Truthfully stating ELVIS' accomplishments , which are unsurpassed in the WORLD , and SHELBY's lack thereof, does NOT translate to an "obsession" with ELVIS . We are waitng for your explanation as to why ELVIS has sold approx. 2 BILLION records and SHELBY has sold how many ? I made a FOOL of you twice- wanna make it three times ?
@bootseybuddy Oh dear, couldn't get a translater then? Your dragging Elvis into a conversation on two female interpreters of this tune is what that "what the hell" was referring to. I was just wondering why bring up Elvis? Of course I , at that point, did not yet realize am dealing with a person who probably mentions Elvis and his sales numbers when the waitress asks if you want milk in your coffee.
@bootseybuddy And sorry to disappoint you Boots but you are not royalty! "we are waiting"? Nobody but you is waiting for that explanation as I gave it already in my initial response. I simply said that these days there is little correlation between singing ability and record sales. And since we are talking these days...pretty sure Elvis wouldn't sell as well if he came into the business now. Not unless he wore a meat dress ( or in his case peanutbutter/banana sandwich dress)
@bootseybuddy and dear, again...stating Elvis' accomplishments as a response to a discussion of Shelby Lynne v. Gloria Estefan is as sure a sign of obsession as is your repeating those sales numbers from almost 50 years ago in every comment you post. So far the only one you have made a fool of is yourself I am afraid. :(
Defending a guy not under discussion. All I expressed was praise when you dragged him into it completely out of the blue. No need to get your panties in a bunch.
@bootseybuddy Btw I have not a clue regarding Shelby's sales numbers. This is not what I base my opinion of music on. That was my point regarding sales numbers!
@bootseybuddy And on top of all that...there isn't even a video of Elvis covering this song! So...do you want to make a fool of yourself some more? Feel free. I am having a ball playing with you. :)
So tragic her life. Her farther killing her mother in the drive way. Right in front of her then shot himself right in front of her while she was trying to run for help and to stop her dad from killing her mom. So sad
This is the perfect example of why I hated her playing guitar on stage. Look and listen at her. This Lady was and is still magic. The 3 tear note at the end. Damn!!!!!
I recently saw Mel Carter sing this song on a TV PBS Fundraiser and he sounded as great as ever to my amazement. I have to hand it to Shelby it's a fine rendition, with a powerful voice and almost a duplicate of Mel's. They should release a duet I know it would be a top ten hit if not go all the way. What say you out there in You Tube Land!!.
Dear sorenrules, If you don't like her, You will ruin her day, she'll probably quit singing! Tell it to the baker, you get a bun, tell it to me, you get none!
I am 57 and was a long-time lover of Mel Carter's version. I didn't know how Shelby Lynne was, and today I have changed sides: she's REMARKABLE! WOW!!! She's is just so wonderful in this version. Rock, baby!
It may not be, but I can't be sure. And as far as looks, look again. I know what she looks like. I've known her all my life; went to grade school with her, and college right before this; Allison did a lot of backup for Shelby on tour around this time, and I saw them together a lot; I still see them both quite often, so again, don't tell me it doesn't resemble her lol.
Shelby your great. I wouldn't give it that kind of ending , not in a different key. anyhoo I remember " I Lie Myself to sleep" great song. if any of yu havn
t heard it listen . it might take a couple tries but then you will
This woman has an incredible voice, OMG, best female version of this song, brings me to my knees.....Poor Gloria Estefan she did this song,,she can't come remotely close to this woman's singing abilities...
Wonderful. Just listened to it five times in a row!

She's got a powerful voice, that's for sure. But I prefer Mel Carter's version- and Shirley Bassey's from a female vocalist.
I can see why she didn't put it to CD. probably good for the crowd- but not necessarily representative of her creative vision or talent so well.
