I HATE country music with a passion, but I really liked this song. Don’t know why all you Judd “fans” are complaining.

Peter’s version sounds better vocally…. I would probably give it a higher grade than The Judds’ version. Kinda reminds me of a Keith Urban song.

WOW! Seriously? Sounds like something that was passed over by one of the many “newly manufactured” acts on Music Row. Oh my goodness…

Australian country singer Peter McWhirter also recorded a version of this song. I’m still not sold on the song itself, but at least the vocals are a little bit better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nupG1A27CrI&ob=av2e

While the song isn’t good to begin with, what makes this song the most disappointing is that Wynonna’s voice sounds shot. I’ve noticed signs of wear and tear on her voice over the last decade or so, but it’s never sounded this fried to me. She seems to have lost a lot of her vocal control and nuance. What a shame. She had a Ferrari of voice

I don’t mind it, but this song is definatly not one of their best….. sort of the same way I felt with Reba’s “Strange.”

[...] Country Universe’s Tara Seetharam rips the new single from The Judds, “I Will Stand By Y…: [...] who better than Wynonna to breathe fire and energy into nondescript lyrics? Only she doesn’t. Her performance misses the mark on all accounts: she blasts her notes with so much splashy aggression that they can barely find their pitch, and her phrasing is painfully affected (what’s with the varying pronunciations of the word “you”?). Gone is her soulful conviction and unshakeable control; in its place is a voice that begs for a recharge. [...]

I heard this song for the first time on itunes, coincidentally the very next song I listen to was the very same song by High Valley, (a Canadian trio who have been working closely with Paul Brandt. Their version is perhaps more pop, but the vocals are dead on. Link: http://amzn.com/B0040RTYU6
