I'm Checkin Out Reba McEntire

[MorgaanFREAK]

I think a lot of people forget that reba sang this shortly after her band died in the plane crash. It took a lot of courage to sing this. Reba - you did a great job.

I don't think anyone could of sang it better.

[MystykOwl]

Meryl Streep does this SOOOOOO much better!

[kaejae24]

It sounds too rushed , When Meryl sings it , you can feel what she is saying. Reba sounds great, but it is routine. I like Ms Streep's performance much more

[gigaroon]

Well she's good.... But Meryl Streep, I must say, does this one much better!!!!

[iluvtheighties]

Did she sing this @ the oscars,?

[2010REDTHUNDER]

Love this performance!

[girly359]

She sang the heart out of that song!! She's got a beautiful voice!!!

[TheAb48]

Love this song one of my favorites, Meryl Streep also does a great job singing it!!!

[pawclaws57]

Reba did SO WELL on this. Sang the hell out of it. Really cool how strong she was right after the accident. I know Meryl's version was the original version, and it was very nice, but she just doesn't have the voice that Reba does.

[TARGETQUEEN]

@pawclaws57 Amen to that! Reba is the best!! Would have been interesting to see Meryl sing it though.

[lexky0521]

I lost a good friend on that plan:Kirk Cappello (Rebaa's music director/keyboards and Before that Barbara Mandrells music director and keyboard pplayer!!! AWESOME MUSICIAN!!!

[AnnabelleKaye]

I watch this video everyday, and each time i'm awed at what a monumental performance she gave, Reba is absolutely mind blowing, and I'm more than extremely proud to call myself a tweeba, and a dedicated fan for life.

[ohboyitskayla]

This was like a week or two after, right?

[bigbenkentucky2]

@ohboyitskayla Nine days, according to Reba's 1994 memoirs.

[congaden]

yeah..meryl was supposed to sang but yes, she was pregnant and i think she didn't even attend the oscars

[TotalRebaFan12]

I thought her 1st performance after the death was @ the Oscars? Is that where this is? And in her book didnt she say she was wearin a white dress??

[DollyLoverForever]

GREAT performance. So strong and brave. Her eyes are so sad, they give her away. Aaaaw.

Luv ya Reba

[67fudge89]

i think meryl sang it better

[ohboyitskayla]

As much as I loooooove Meryl, I don't think you fully understand the whole situation here. It's not about who sings it better.

[arfneto]

thank you thank you thank you for posting this. I have this recorded live in a lost VHS tape in a box of more than 30 tapes and this clip is the reason I did not trash all tapes until today: waiting to have time to find and save this particular performance!

Reba is the best!

[82celinedion82]

By far the best female country singer of all time. She's in her 50's and still making music. You go girl.

[Gst8fan1022]

I Believe Meryl Streep Was Supposed To Sing This Song But Was Unable To Because She Was Pregnant Or Something.

Meryl Streep Performed It In The Movie "Postcards From The Edge."

[rebalover23]

I think this is one of the most memorable Reba performances (next to the infamous red dress l0l!) because of the loss of her band. Its an amazing performance!! Shes amazing.

[OrphanTeddy]

Wow! I didn't know that Reba lost her band, what happened? I assume from the hair style Reba has that is goes back a few years. (I'm new to the world of Reba.)

[embarrassingu]

oh heres an old fans of rebas to help ya out. like 8 or 9 members of rebas bacnd were killed in a plane clash, she wasnt on it. she was scheduled to do this song long before it happened and she dedicated this song to them and the whole audience knew and some were even crying in memory of them. cmt had a great interview with her about the plane crash and her decision to singso shortly after

[AnnabelleKaye]

8 members were killed.

the 7 in her band who were Chris Austin, Kirk Cappello, Joey Cigainero, Paula Kaye Evans, Terry Jackson, Michael Thomas, Tony Saputo, and her tour manager, Jim Hammond. Their memories were honored here, and will be always. Reba's strength is certainly admirable here, as well as the strength of those who knew the 'Crazy 8' the best.

[bettefan29]

Yes I do! She is beautiful!

[TVlover333]

Oh man just look at that hair, don't you love it, I know I do, and wow is her voice amazing.
