  • I'm not impressed with the original but I do like Reba's. She just has so much emotion in her voice.. Dave Loggins' version is flat. Just another opinion.

  • Awesome!

  • what is she saying right b4 she says there  ain't nobody like me

  • Reba basically owns everything she does.

  • I like her stripped version alot more. I guess I like her deeper voice better.

  • @cuongoff I love both versions. I do wish Reba would re-record some of her older songs because her voice has changed so much as she has matured. I love the young voice but am also with you on being partial to the deeper tone Reba has now. As one reviewer said, Reba has gone from cowgirl howl to full on momma growl LOL.

  • The beauty of having a voice like Reba, is that if you feel it from the heart, you can make it work for you, and so she did. I love this song, and yes I like The way Dave Loggins sings it, who doesn't?. Reba offers the song for womans to also enjoy singing such awsome song and make it work for the gender. I think I feel the same emotion when I listen either version of it, so two thumbs up for Reba.

  • Do you see Reba doing Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Life By The Drop" Could she sing the notes, technically? Yes most certainly, would it kill the the song,,,oh yeah. The trick is when doing covers to pick what works. Nanci Griffith Cover's Bob Dylans song " Spanish Boots Of Leather" not " All along the Watchtower" Anyway its all a matter of taste, so if you are a diehard Reba fan or whover, you will think they can do no wrong.

    Either way if you like it great, enjoy.

  • Its all a matter of taste and totally subjective....not black in white...in my opinion Dave Loggins does the best version male or female. I still believe some songs are better by either a male or female...some songs just don't go over well song by a man and some songs don't sound good by a female vocalist. Reba is a professional, great singer, thats why she is succesful, but this is not , in my opinion in her range or feeling...

  • @fundyqueen So glad you put "In your opinion" as we all are entitled to one. IMHO this song is perfect for Rebas range, you do realize Reba has quite a wide vocal range, and as she is the best interpreter of a song out there it is also in her "feeling". You prefer this song done by a man end of.

  • @fundyqueen May I point out like Reba's range is WIDE. She posses a contralto range, from the G below middle C to the 2nd B above middle C. The highest note is NOBODY LIKE ME those are F tovE to f.

    If you knew the song You Lie Reba (every time she preforms it) hits a high Gb in it so the fact she can hit almost to the top of her range in chest voice is amazing and unusual. Look at Mariah she can hit a high Eb but she cant hit a high c in her chest voice. Reba she is a master interpretor

  • Reba sounds great, as usual...but there are some songs that sound better when a women sings it and others where a man sings it....not politically correct but true....this is song that is better done by a guy....sorry

  • Me encanta! I love this she knows knows how to sing a song

  • Reba is my all time favorite no matter what she sings. She is the greatest!

  • that's a bigass hairdo and suit coat buttons

  • Reba is so very talented.....beautiful.....sex­y.....funny and can sing like an angel :-)I think she performed this song magnificently !!!!!!!!

  • Reba is the best female singer of this song!  She's a special Lady!

  • I love this feminine interpretation of the Dave Loggins' song, great from Reba McEntire!!!

  • i love this live.

  • I LOVE REBA.......

  • REBA IS AERICAN AS APPLE PIE PURE AND SWEET THATS WHY I LOVE HER SHES PURE WHITE RACE  PURE WHITE BLOOD RUNING THREW HER VEINS

  • @PEANUTLOVEDADY Although she's white, she has worked with Brian Stokes Mitchell and various other non-white folks. Therefore, she probably would not be a big fan of your "pure white race pure white blood running through her veins" stuff, although I don't care myself.

  • Beautiful. Brings back memories of someone special. Hope he's doing well wherever he is.

  • Reba can't sing a bad song....this is probably the top female version. And the male version belongs none other than Dave Loggins. Anyone disagrees?

  • @mclenptp Agree. Are there any other female versions?  When Reba recorded it she said she was surprised because no woman had recorded it yet, has someone else since then.

  • @dugite100 Joan Baez released a recording of it in 1976. It's okay.

  • @botanyboy2 Thanks, I'll have to check it out, I don't mind a bit of Joan Baez.

  • @mclenptp Tammy Wynette did a pretty good version in the late70's.

  • @mclenptp I've seen some do it okay. Of all people Baby Face. I love to play it on a 12 string tuned to drop-D. I sing like horse poo.

  • @mclenptp 

  • Why is it that I can't find this on a karaoke track? I love her version!

  • awesome

  • no matter what song reba sings....she always makes me sad, happy or just in a fun mood.

  • Reba's voice alone sets her apart from the rest... and that's before one even considers her songwriting skills...

    Love her...

  • I'm officially in love with Reba McEntire.

  • Me too.

  • @JourneyRocks247 How could you not be? I have been in love with her for a long time!

  • @targetqueen,

    I always THOUGHT I loved her, but this took it to a whole new level.

  • I totally know what you mean!

  • i heard the kenney chesney version, and her version KICKS HIS VERSIONS BUTT!!

  • WOW, I knew she did this on an album, but never got to see her preform it, Thanks so much for posting!!! Her range is so high, I would like to have seen her take that last line up HIGH, but its still wonderful!! 10 stars!!

  • Yeah but that would just be showing off LOL. I know todays singers seem to be under the impression that every song requires a grace note, in fact take out the grace note and most of todays popular songs are pretty average IMHO. One of the many things I love about Rebas style is that she gives as much as the song requires, Sweet Music Man is a perfect example of this.

  • @dugite100 you are absolutely right! Couldn't have said it better myself!

  • this song is so intense, it makes me cry everytime. reminds me of a breakup w/ someone i dearly love to this very day!

  • wow awesome song.

  • Thank you so much for uploading this.! Her version of this kills me. It's even better than Joan Baez's.
