Shania Twain 29th Annual Kennedy Center Honors

[ArizonaKnightWolf]

Dolly did not invite her. In fact, none of the honorees get to invite anyone. The KENNEDY CENTER keeps the preformers secret until they are announced on stage. "Our tradition of surprises and surprise guests is particularly special," says George Stevens, Jr., the show's longtime co-producer. "The fun of the show is increased by not knowing what to expect; the evening becomes exciting for the Honorees, whose reactions and pleasure at the proceedings make the evening so much fun to watch."

ummm,shania is singing cause she was probably invited to by dolly.she would gladly back up alison.its not an ego contest to these pros.ummm.

[mypupmickey]

I believe "Bellisima" means "very beautiful" in Italian.

[buffycharmedangel102]

Ummm, why was Alison Krause singing backup?! She should have been singing lead!!!

[ArizonaKnightWolf]

@buffycharmedangel102 Allison Krause sang JOLENE during the preformance. That's what makes the KCH program so great. All the celeberaties are their to honor the guest of honor, and don;t worry about top billing or anything like that. Seach for JOLENE or ALLISON KRAUSE to see her preformance. It's GREAT!!!

For my brother Joseph and your coat of many colors. You were and are dearly loved and your life was cut far too short. We love and miss you very much. RIP. 5/31/60 - 4/15/74. May the life that you have in Heaven be free of the suffering and abuse that were so familiar to your siblings on earth. We love and miss you so very much. Your younger sis.

Eu so xonado pela Shania Twain

[musicalluver95]

Oh my gosh. I just realized. Andrew Lloyd Webber, who wrote the music for joseph and the Amazing TECHNI-COLOR Dream COAT was also honored her. Funny how that works out

[raul572001]

@musicalluver95 Btw. In some occasion they missed in performance that part talking about Joseph. It's kinde strange, i've never heard this cut off from song.

[genesis4kt]

Love Shania and Dolly. You can see that Dolly is remembering her youth with the words that are being sung by Shania. Both are such great talents.

[isabel1969]

I love Country Music!

Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, ... BUT since I discover Shania Twain I just can't stop hearing her music, specially this one - "Coat of many colours" - AWESOME!!!

p.s. I also like "Blue eyes crying in the rain", when Shania performed it at Willie Nelson's 70th Anniversary. Thanks SHANIA!

[lanata100]

Is this live version available on ANY cd???

I love this song!

[scorpiojsph]

[lanata100]

Great! Thanx for the info :)

[miredentorjesus7]

Shania is so sweet.

Bellisima!

[LoboWarriorForever]

@miredentorjesus7 What does Bellisima mean?

[smmforum]

Dear Shania, please move the guitar out of the way. Thanks! :)

[ilovecountry92]

Shania is like a daughter to Dolly. Shania always seems to use that particular acoustic guitar

[genesis4kt]

This always reminds me of my childhood and of my brother Joseph who passed away when I was a little girl. We were teased because we were poor and he never knew anything other then poverty and what he wore in death was better than anything that he ever owned in life. It is a beautiful song that always reminds me of that time and him and makes me sad.

[ilovecountry92]

I remember going down to the Kennedy Center and pressing my head to the door in 25 degree weather to listen to Shania and catch a glimpse of Dolly--the two people that I look up to the most. My grandmother and aunt were in the audience...I did yell at Shania as she was leaving and she did turn around and wave. I love this song its my favorite Dolly Parton song. Love you Shania

(P.S. Way2Goyou- they did sing it on the Oprah show and Shania started crying

[genesis4kt]

Dolly was my favorite as a child. I still love her but now it is Josh Groban. She is talented and will always remain one of my lifelong favorites.

[Jacey925]

Isn't that Allison Krauss singing with her?

[1BEBY]

Yes, she is singing in the bac.

[Jacey925]

I really love this performance. Shania does a great job, and this song is my favorite. Shanias voice are so good, and it makes me cry when i listen to something like this with her.
