I agree in that I think there’s something missing in today’s music. I heard an angel the other night – her name is Aubree-Anna and she resides in Dallas, TX right now, although I don’t think she’ll be there for long. Although her voice hints Jazz greats, you can tell she loves Country music and performs it like second nature. I think she would be a fresh addition to the Country Pop arena. She debuted a song called “Soon” Written by the legendary Diane Warren whom she had the opportunity to meet and said she was humbled and thankful she was afforded the chance to sing and record this beautiful song. The name Diane Warren probably sounds familiar because she has penned hits for icons such as Faith Hill & Carrie Underwood among countless others. You can check out the music video of the song “Soon” they created of the performance held at Big D Opry here: http://youtu.be/czUxLjgz5Ho

It’s a very sad but beautiful song and her voice is like silk, not to mention she’s just so good lookin’. Please review and leave your comments. I’m trying everything I can to get this girl heard – not to mention I want this song released so I can buy it!!

Come to think of it, actually, Carrie’s had a boatload of moving performances! Woah. Putting them in lists like some of y’all did on here really puts it into perspective.

Adele’s entire album, bar none, is amazing.

As for moving performances, Carrie’s HGTA at the ACM: Girls’ Night Out special was incredible. If there was any sort of Grammy that she was able to be nominated for with that performance, then she should get it. No wonder it blew up all over the internet.

Before Jennifer Nettles’ 2007 CMA performance of “Stay”, I can’t remember anything really wowing me on a country awards show aside from Alan Jackson’s first performance of “Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning” just weeks after 9/11.

The last country performance to really move me was Carrie’s How Great Thou Art on the ACM’s Girls Night Out special. Carrie didn’t break down at the end, but there was just something so powerful, moving and surreal in that performance. And who knew that a spiritual song can actually go viral on the internet.

But otherwise, I agree with you, Adele is really something special. I just wish it wasn’t wasted on a show like the VMAs.

Quote by kevin john coyne re. Adele:

but with all the shameless format-hopping that’s been allowed by country programmers in recent years, maybe we can get them to give a few spins to Adele.

Only if they give Adele’s songs a country remix with some steel guitar flourishes (IMHO). But I think we ought to wait until after the Grammys, where it’s very likely she’ll abscond with some major hardware.

Tara, thanks for the higher-quality video of Carrie’s performance.

Not only do I disagree that there haven’t been some very emotional performances in country music in the past few years, but showing emotion doesn’t have to mean there are tears streaming down your face, breaking down onstage.

That’s what’s great about music; different songs and performances touch people for all kinds of different reasons.

Some others I want to add to my previous picks:

Carrie Underwood- “Bless The Broken Road,” Stripped Sessions.

Carrie Underwood- “Praying For Time”

Carrie Underwood- “I’ll Stand By You”

Carrie Underwood- “Desperado, 2007 Grammy’s

Rascal Flatts- “It’s Getting Better All The Time”

Great post, K. Agree with Karly that “Stay” at the CMAs a few years ago had a similar effect – as did, Carrie’s “Jesus, Take The Wheel” at the ACMs. Probably my favorite of all her performances for that very reason.

Adele has said in several interviews that Wanda Jackson and Rascal Flatts were her recent influence on 21. She wants to explore the country genre more for her next album.

Adele also cited Patsy Cline as an influence for 21, I believe. I think that she’s more inspired by the “heartbreak” of a song, rather than the sound of it. “Turning Tables” is my favorite song of the year so far.

Anyway. Anytime someone mentions “For My Broken Heart,” I know that a good conversation is on the way. I absolutely love that song and album. Reba put her heart and soul into it and made her best album yet.
