2W2V Edmonton - Up To The Mountain

Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire cover this Patti Griffin song at Rexall Place, Edmonton on Sept. 27, 2008

Apologies for the obstructed view. I didn't want to get caught by security as I had already received a warning earlier in the show.

Question!!

October 29th I am going to see Reba in Rexall and for this concert I was in section 110 (you know, right above the back door for the floor seating) and I was wondering if my seats now are better. They're in row 19 on the floor. Better? Worse? Can I go up to the stage to touch Reba's hand? Because I think I'd cry if I could. Literally. :-)

@Rebailu Row 19 is definitely closer than section 110. I can't say for sure if you'll have a great view - I'm short, so being on the floor with tons of tall people in front of me from row 19 doesn't necessarily give me a better view than being on a higher rise in section 110 - depends on what you consider to be "better". Hope that helps.

I really don't like the fact that they don't give Patty Griffin any credit on this. And I really dislike the fact that Reba says she didn't like it that much until Kelly sang it. I love kelly on this song, but Patty is an amazing talent, and is Kelly's favorite songwriter/singer alive today, or so she has said. I think Reba is very tasteless in saying this. Patty wrote it, she should be respected.

[radv8711]

Please don't be too worried or take it as an insult to Patty Griffin. I love her as well - her songwriting talent is just incredible. I believe that Kelly has given credit (and praise) to Patty during her other shows. Also, I think KC and Reba have credited her during other shows as well, it just may not have been mentioned at this one. :)

I have to agree w/ Reba...liked the original version but LOVED Kelly's take on UTTM.

[KellyFan4Lyfe08]

yes this was amazing,but ninfan what do u mean she missed one of the notes?she didnt miss anything,the only thing different from this perfomance is reba threw some vocals in when kelly was tearing it up at 2:55,i mean she tore it up throughout the whole song but thats the high point of the song,noone missed anything and they both did AMAZING

[Rebailu]

@radv8711 Thanks! I'm about 5'7 so I hope that's good enough. I think just the thought of being close to her (especially THAT close) will make my entire year, and if I ever meet her, it'll make my whole life! But yeah I understand how there are the ups and downs as to where I got my ticket. thanks again!

Kelly always give patty griffin credit she always does when people as kher abou up to the mountain she says yes it's a song written by patty griffin who is an amazing singer.

So kelly always does she doesn't need to give her credit all the time. If you dont like peoplen ever giving credits to the original singers you should go flame on beyonce vids cause she hasnt written one single song of hers but claims she does all the time.

Reba didn't say she didn't like the song. She said she liked it, but didn't fall in love with it till she heard Kelly sing it. Reba respects everyone all the time.

[StevenLovesKellyC]

i agree and kelly sings it better

[istarmusic]

I agree with Reba I didn't like it until I heard Kelly sing it. Now that I've heard them both sing it I love it!!!!!!!

ddviolinist, Please don't be offended. Reba is the sweetest salt-of-the-earth person alive. She would never offend a fan on purpose, and I know she meant nothing against Patty Griffin.

[ddviolinist]

Yeah, it just wasn't a very sensitive thing to say and wasn't really a necessary thing to say. As well, one should ALWAYS give credit to the original writer of the song. Just protocol in the business. I usually love Reba, but that was pretty tactless, imo.

[melitch]

She said she liked it! She just said she didn't fall in love with it until she heard Kelly sing it. Patty Griffin is an amazing talent, but to each their own!
