Few singers have the range of Reba McEntire, very few in country...LeAnn Rimes, Carrie, Martina, and Linda Davis. Faith doesn't have it, Trisha doesn't have it.
This is the first time I've heard this since this special aired a few years ago. I've been looking for it forever so thank you for uploading it!! Faith is awesome :)
Ms. Hill looks tired and/or angry and/or nervous throughout this entire performance. And I'm glad the live auto-tune was there to keep her from sounding too screechy. I'm *OK* with her most of the time, but this was definitely not her best.
I'm no country fan but is a new fan of Faith Hill. I listened to all 3 versions over & over. Faith sang it with more emotion than even Reba. And Trisha just couldn't reach high enough she ruined the best part of the song.
LOL...no offence to me but when i try this song at home it sounds like cats being murdered...LOL...im only an ok singer...one day I was belting it out and I heard knocking on the back door...true story...and it was two homicide detectives who were coming around investigating a killing that had occured right around the corner from me a week or two before, I bet they heard me from the street and they thought that cats were being murdered LOL!! they all sing it better than me!! LOL...GB
Faith did a great job on this song, but no one can nail it like Reba does! Theres just something about the way she sings it that just gets you lost in her voice...you believe it when she sings it. Reba has a talent for doing any song like no other artist can. She truly is emotional no matter what shes singing and you just focus on her voice.
Faith does nail the emotion in this song, and has a wonderful raspy tone to her voice - you can definitely argue which one does it better from an emotional point of view, but vocally it isn't even a competition - Reba blows every other vocalist in country music out of the water on that chorus.
@swanson6666 I agree. I know it's not "politically correct" to say that you prefer a cover version over an original one (let alone when the original version is cut by a legend) but, in this case, I have to say that I choose Faith's version (and it has nothing to do with the fact of me being a huge Faith fan). She nailed this song.
I have always loved Faith. She did a good job on this song. But she is no Reba. Reba is one of a kind and is my favorite musician. I think the best voice of all time.
@stylestar07Darker lips were the style at the time. I agree though that it does not suit her, but we are inadvertently swayed by the trends we see around us at the time.
@stylestar07 I love the brown curls... think it looks pretty. It's the make-up that threw me off. Faith needs to stick with a light coloured lipstick (like pink), it looks best on both of us!
Faith did a good job. But, i think Reba and only Reba gives this song true justice by hitting the notes and giving it all the heart that this song needs. the lyrics are pretty heavy and deep and needs a certain degree of emotion.
I love Reba and I think she is a great singer and has amazing range and puts more feeling into her songs than anyone in country music I prefer Faith's version you can see the pain on her face and the way she hits those notes in full voice Trisha and Reba do it softer and I think this one hits home more for me at least.
.To whoever said that Reba's songs don't have cmplexity, that's an ignorant statement. Reba, of all women in country music, has the largest range. There are other power singers in country, don't get me wrong, such as Wynonna and Martina, as well as Trisha, Reba - clearly has them beat. Listen to Reba's earlier performances, especially Live Performances, and I'm positive, you'll change your mind. Cheers to Reba, the only one who could perform this song as it was meant to be sung.
Being a singer myself I can honestly say "that is a very very hard song" Trisha and Faith do it well however, Reba does it with an enormous amount of feeling. Reba gets my vote
What impresses me is that Faith hits the high notes in her full voice and not her falsetto like Reba and Trisha both do. That shows just how impressive Faith's range and control are. Gotta respect that.
I think this an incredibly hard song to sell live, so I commend Faith for taking it on, and she did well. However, I prefer Trisha Yearwood's as far as covers go. She has a meatier lower register and delivers on the low-key moments here.
She has a really great strong voice for this song. Unlike Trisha Yearwood's version. And she hit the note really great too!!! I make a big deal about that high note. Seriously. If ya can't do it, it ruins the entire song. I love how she made it like her own.
Reba does a great job, but let's remember Reba wouldn't be singing at her own tribute, more than likely. The point is Faith and the other artists are honoring her. This wasn't a Reba concert.
You probably are the only one, because I think she did a great job-- she does great on anything, in my opinion. I wonder how many of you criticizing could hit those high notes in "YOU LIE" ? This is probably Reba's most challenging song vocally. I hate it when critics bash talented people. Why can't people just be nicer?
I thought Faith did a great job also. I don't think Reba's songs are very straining by any means, but this song of hers seems to be tougher than normal.
This is one hell of a song to try and sing, Faith did a great job. i love Reba, this on is my fav of hers. Martina would have done a good job at this one as well. i think Martina would have been a bit better actually...just my opinion.
I love Faith Hill and thought she did this song great! One of my fav's of Reba's and she had the right pitch for it. Martina McBride would of done a great job on it too though!
search in google and all of Reba giants performances are there. you have to search reba giants tho and then u will have to scroll through them to find Dolly.
I love faith hill on the song...Reba does better but faith is great too...Trisha yearwood has one on here to singing this same song and it is awesome too.
"You Lie" is not an easy song to sing. It would really take a lot of breathing.
