  • Reba looks so happy lol.

  • Not that I could do it better, but that slide on the floor at 2:34 was not great.

  • hey blake shelton and kenny loggins why are you doing this for

  • Isn't Kenny Loggins music genre is rock?

  • Anyone else notice,the song is fast forwarded at the beggining.

  • KENNY LOGGINS FTW <3 awwe blake i love you!!! :)

  • Wait ? Who started late ? xD

    If were talking about Kenny.. he probably just had to go to the bathroom for the 60th time or something. I kidd <3

    He did'nt fit into the scene at all lol all the dancers in black and red, and blake in black.. . and him all classy with the shirt and waistcoat lol They should have gone with his look.

  • IT"S THE CMA AWARDS

  • Beautful,beautiful, beautiful Blake.Birlliant. kiss

  • reba looks so happy while faith hill looks like she was disgusted.

  • @emmanisms Are you talking about the woman next to Kenny Chesney? Because that's not Faith Hill. Faith Hill is smiling and looks like she enjoyed the performance.

  • Kenny Loggins was better!!! Legend!

  • still preferred kenny loggins' singing

  • Great to see Kenny sing this with Blake

  • LOOOOVE IT

  • this is so fuckn epic

  • So this is what country music has come too. So sad.

  • Blake Got Missed Some Lyrics Or The Instruments Are Too Fast?

  • @auficrazy He started late. Took me a while to figure that out.

  • Anyone else notice that he missed his cue?

  • @SeraphimCramer Back in the old days when country music didn't have dancers, light shows, extra tracks ect the band would have just played an extra time through but not in todays world i guess.... Pretty soon they'll all be lip syncing and no band just dancers. BTW Blakes best song was Old Red and it's been down hill ever since.

  • @SeraphimCramer I thought he missed a line at first but then finally after listening to it several times I realized that was what he did. He recovered very quickly though.

  • @SeraphimCramer At least we know it was definitely live. LOL

  • This song was made for Kenny,yet Blake tried.You have to give him credit for trying.

  • @JustForBrieLarson Blake Shelton did a hell of alot better then Kenny loggins did and then some in this song :p

  • @69lover2012 that is because Kenny Loggins is now 63. If he tried anymore he might have croaked

  • @69lover2012 Come on now. You may want to re-think that post again.

  • Kenny's version is best.Blake just is no Kenny.He has great songs,yet this song was made for Kemny.

  • Good. Good. Good.  Song.

  • Ugh... I like Blake and think he's a good musician and all, but he butchered this... He took it like a champ by not letting it affect the rest of the song, as well as the rest of the band/performers doing the same, so that's points back for me. But mistakes like leaving out full phrases at a show as big as this ruins the effect for me, as a musician. Still, this song should only be done by Kenny for large, public shows. It's HIS thing, and not easily pulled off by anyone else.

  • Awsom...

  • liked his performance didn't care for the dancers

  • You people have NO idea what you are talking about, Blake came in perfect, and music was live, you can always tell if it is pre recorded, AND THIS WAS NOT!

  • Kick ass sing

  • listening to country makes me proud to white...

  • kenny can still sing it up with the best, have not lost his voice...

  • Love it better with only kenny but blake is awesome too!

  • i think blake's video is great...but i always love the original singers and movies the best

  • The new movie was amazing ((: <3

    Gotta love country music

  • Heym can we say Live??? Things happen. But, noy enough happened to dewll this video.

  • blake sounded amazing! even if he did start a stanza too late cuz thats what threw him off. He was awesome! And it was so cool to bring Kenny back :)

  • Butchered!

  • What in the hell happened to Kenny Loggins?

  • @SweetestMiss

    He got like the rest of us OLD!!

  • @SweetestMiss

    He got like the rest of us that remember him as Mr. Soundtrack..................OL­D

  • Just can't get used to anything other  than Kenny Loggins version. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT WAS PERFECT. Great to watch him.

  • WHAT ARE THESE NON COUNTRY LOOKIN PEOPLE DOING UP THAR

  • @HUNTENMASTA1337 WHAT DO COUNTRY PEOPLE LOOK LIKE?

  • @1856mae

    not like whores and pretty boys

  • @HUNTENMASTA1337 About 10 years ago, I rode on an elevator with some Louise Mandrell's backup singers and dancers. This one guy among them could be described in one word--FLA-MER! Granted, Ms. Mandrell at the time did mixed (not all Country) shows.

    Just sayin'.

  • blake did a great job!! I LOVE Kenny Loggins!!

  • Kenny Loggins!! ^^

  • Kenny sure looks old. His voice just isn't what it use to be.

  • I think this is the coolest performance I have ever seen. Looks like the audience agrees!!

  • Blakes remake is the best.

  • this is a horrible version, its not country

  • @todnwen Oh buzz off.

  • That song should be all about Kenny Loggins. He's the best!

  • It sounds better if blake sing it on his own. And I also think that kenny sound better with lucy lawless in this song. They are all great performancers but these two don't fitt together

  • Ok, who have the great idea to put this guy to sing? Kenny Loggins still sings way much better than he.

  • Blake is so amazing and he has such a beautiful voice but nobody does that song like Kenny Loggins!! :)

  • u know i love blake shelton but i like the orignal song from kenny loggins better

  • Kenny Loggins is AWESOME!!!!!

  • Anybody else notice that the pyrotechnics on the left side failed to spin like the right side did?

  • @iowagirl57 yep i did also

  • @iowagirl57 Yeah i saw on tv too

  • @iowagirl57 it was staged to do that.

  • Blake seems like a nice enough guy but don't really see what is special about him musically.

  • @927Adam - Then I suggest you don't listen to it!

  • This whole show is a fucking joke!!!! I hate todays "country", it all sucks. it's not country. starting about the year 2000. Country started going to shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nice save, Blake. Either someone mis-cued his backing track with background vocals, or they cut the beginning short in rehearsal and Blake forgot or wasn't told about it. Either way, that whole thing could have been a giant hot mess, but he really pulled it out of the toilet it was going into. Kenny Loggins...wow! He's still got it!

  • @hollyfigueroaoreilly I think he just came in late but he recovered very quickly.

  • There was too much hip-hop dancing this year.

  • So long To Country Music. The Bastards have all gone Rock n Roll.

  • :ALL TIME CLASSIC COUNTRY SONG FOOTLOOSE. "LOL BRAD IS SOOOOOO FUNNY.

  • 2:29 LOVE!! "I'm cuttin' it loose!"

  • Like this, mishap or not. The energy is amazing, and they got the party started. Of course it would've been fun if it was the cast dancing, and to me it looks like BS really has to pull himself together after getting started on the wrong foot, so to speak - Even though it's an upbeat song, he doesn't really smile or look directly at the audience at first. But I think the energy came across as planned.

  • i would love to be one of the dancers. it looks like so much fun!!!

  • Why did he sing this song? is he affiliated with the new movie?

  • @aec41594 Yes He did the remake of this song for the movie.

  • @aec41594 He remade the song when the new movie was being produced.

  • why didn't Julianne Hough dance?!!!! Awsome performance tho!!

  • I love that Reba is just eating it up at the end :D

  • Blake Shelton has the prettiest eyes..they're so dreamy :P

  • no standing ovation for kenny loggins? i thought he was dead honestly

  • @MrScottkolar - LOL...not only not dead, but the guy is kicking it pretty good...he should have got a little more air time!

  • He sounds like he doesn't want to sing it

  • Just like brad paislry said: " blake opened the show with the all time country hit footloose"

    I don't like it

  • @Tigersfan829 I think that was sarcasm...especially since the entire audience laughed after he said it.

  • Just me, or every time he finishes a lyric, the sound kinda fades at the end...?

  • @Glitza7 It's because he kept pulling away from the mic.

  • @kvillekid12 Argh, how annoying. he's performance would've been so much more incredible....

  • hot dogs

  • 3:13 JUSTIN MOORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<3

  • Gawd damn that was awful........

  • He did in fact start the song one bar too late. Even I wondered about the 1-bar pause before he started singing the first verse. This only led me to believe that the backing track was pre-recorded, as you could hear the backup vocals singing "I've got this feeling...." exactly one bar before Shelton finished the verse. I know for fact that a lot of award shows, parades, etc pre-record the music as a means to avoid technical foul-ups. In this case, the foul-up was Shelton himself.

  • Comment removed

  • @tmlfan1977 Aha! I was pissed just because he opened with this song. I guess now I have more to be pissed about.

  • @tmlfan1977 so your going to that technical about his singing?????

  • Nice number, but needed a more Loggins...dude looked/sounded alive and well despite his age.

  • oh blake.. haha he was probably so drunk,

  • HE SUCKS

    

  • OK, why were there dancers on here going at it like a hip-hop music video?? THIS IS COUNTRY MUSIC, not some stupid rap performance!!

    Also, sorry to the awesome Blake Shelton and nothing against him, but this song did no justice for the original. It insulted my ears.

  • @1981bendover make that two people who have a "foot" up their "loose" ass. lol great comment. actually mde me laugh out loud.

  • I know it is hard to believe but this was not supposed to be a dance show, The dancers had their moment on that other show, while Blake stayed in the background. Believe it or not, this was Blake's and Kenny's moment to celebrate the music. You know that song that makes everyone WANT to dance? Yeah, that's one.

  • Country awards are so different then pop/rap. rappers want to wear all the bling and gold in there teeth and country singers come with faded jeans and a t-shirt, there actually real and you can relate, and thats why i love country music<3

  • @odoapr13 Yeah but they pay more got the fadey-ness.

  • I was very disappointed in this years CMA's no wonder the country greats wasnt there their embarrased in the industry

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • one thing that would have made it even better is if they'd had the actual dancers form footloose.

  • "To kick off country's biggest night...we're gonna play a classic rock song"

    That makes sense...

  • One person has a "foot" up their "loose" ass!

  • i loved the show it was great i loved all of the Performances last night

  • Thanks for the upload since I missed this part of the show. I just wish Kenny Loggins had a bigger part in this "duet". After all, he wrote the song.

  • That was the gayest thing I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!

  • Blake was great, but in order to pull off the best performance of this song, not only do you need dancers, but you need Kenny Loggins. In other words... GREAT WAY TO START THE SHOW!!!!!

  • It's so cute how much Reba is so proud of Blake Shelton...........just like she's his "music mama"......LOL! Blake has his mom, but then he has Reba who can show him everything there is to know about music, hence "music mama". Ha!

  • @bRDwyAnnIe Also, Narvel - Reba's Husband, is Blake's agent. So Reba has been part of Blake's family since day 1.

  • @JaredMunson That's true....in a way. To be fair, Blake Shelton's career really didn't hit this big before until he switched management and went over to Starstruck (Reba's management company she built). When Reba & Narvel decided to re-open that part of Starstruck again, Blake was their very first artist (besides Reba, of course) to be attached to the label. Reba, Narvel & Narvel's son Brandon have done so much for Blake. It's crazy to think now, that a few years ago he wasn't even nominated.

  • @bRDwyAnnIe Reba helped him get into music. So she is so proud when he does well.

  • AWESOME!!!

  • Thought this was an amazing way to start the show! Was skeptical at first, as to how Blake would pull off the remake.. But it's wonderful!

  • 2:34 sliding fail. lmao

  • the movie is all about dancing! why the hell wouldnt there be dancers for this song?!

  • Never heard this song sound worse. Hard to believe this guy and his fat wife won the top vocal awards.

  • @hedunlap wow jealous much? hes making millions of dollars and has a huge fan base and you're making petty comments on youtube?

  • @hedunlap If you hate Blake<3 so much, then what are you doing here? and on his wife's birthday!

  • @hedunlap Why the hell are you watching this then?????????

  • He didn't miss his cue in the beginning. It's an intro to the song.

  • @95Tenorsax ya he did. he comes in a line too late. leaves out the "i've got this feelin" part. listen to the background vocals. good recovery tho.

  • love it :)

  • did he miss his cue to start singing at the beginning?

  • To all those going on nd on about the mistake, at least you know it was actually him singing and not a complete recording.

  • CMA's=Country music's FUNNEST night!

    I was joking with my mom that in Nashville, people probably have CMA night instead of Superbowl night xD great show, I loved it!

  • killed it!

    

  • All the dancers on last night's show were SUPPPPPERRRRR LAME! They did no justice to any of the music. If you're gonna get someone to dance call Julianne Hough and her boys!

  • @Arequ517

    How are YOUR dancin' skills??

  • @1greatnana Pretty good, but I don't think my Flamenco and Salsa would be appropriate for a country music awards show...just as that dancing wasn't really either. And if you saw Julianne and her pack on DWTS the other night doing this you know that Footloose could've been done better.

  • @Arequ517 I was waiting for her and Kenny to come out.............if your bringing back Kenny Loggins, then why not have the dancers, or even have Kevin Bacon come back to dance with Julianne Hough? Now that would've been cool to combine 2 generations of FOOTLOOSE! 2 singers......2 dancers!!!

  • @Arequ517 no u r lame this comment was not needed

  • @andrew101678 Thank you for putting me in my place! Too bad that dancing still isn't relevant. The artists didn't need the gimmicky crap or the bells and whistles. As I said if they were going to have dancers, they should've called Julianne, she would have killed it. Youtube her performance on DWTS with Blake Shelton performing...that's all the proof I need.

  • Blake Shelton and the cow pattie dancers.

  • thats how you do it! <3

  • Is that Jerry Springer hiding behind Reese at 3:09?...

  • wHAT AN OPENING FOR THE CMA AWARDS THAT ROCKED

  • Interesting. CMA opening w/ "Footloose". the audience seems to enjoy it, though.

  • I meant didn't miss a beat.

  • MaxCreditscore you kinda missed it he did miss a beat, and I missed this so thanks.

  • OMG who was that girl with Kenny Chesney? She look like a drag queen...

  • @cherlones its grace potter

  • Loggijns still looks good.

  • Thanks...I TOTALLY missed it and was so annoyed that I didn't see it....

  • Totally jammed out to this song last night!!!!! AWESOME Peformance by him and so many other great artists. It was the first time I had ever fully watched the CMA Awards and it was amazing. <3

  • great performance with Kenny and Blake

    

  • @Wind0wPain He starts a measure late. The line "I got this feeling" was never sung cause he realized he was a measure late and just skipped that line. It was really smooth that if you couldn't catch if you hadn't listen to the song many times beforehand!

  • @DawningMoonlight That's exactly it. The track plays behind him and he didn't start singing until the 2nd line. That's what you get when you make a celebrity out of a karaoke singer and take away his little monitor. lol

  • He started a measure too late

  • That was lots of fun! Thanks for the vid.

  • Blake tweeted he made a mistake in the song. His mistake was in the beginning instead of saying "That time's just holding me down" he said "That job's just holding me down" No biggy whatsoever! Great performance Blake!!!

  • Blake was awesome last night!! I'm so happy he won Male Vocalist of the Year! :D

  • What's with the skateboard ramps?

  • Blake Shelton tweeted that a mistake happened in the performance...

    I didn't catch a mistake... ahah... does anyone know what he's talking about?

  • @Wind0wPain at the :24 mark he sings "gotta tell me what i got", then he misses the words "i got this feeling" and sings the time keeps holding me down.......it wasnt a big mistake, but a mistake nonetheless

  • @Wind0wPain He forgot the words right at the beginning

  • Thats awesome! Thank the good lord finally we get a great duet! :)

  • @hhhandsmhfan So are u saying duets were not good in the past?

  • Love it but wish they would have kept the dancers in footloose wardrobe with the country theme, not the black and red rock look...
