this was on idol a few years after she won but she also performs it at the opry by herself when Randy sneaks out behind her after she sings it. He invited her to join the opry. it was perfect.
I will always prefer the original Randy Travis version of this song, but I have absolutely NOTHING bad to say about Carry's version either. I would listen to either one sing it any time... The fact that this is a duet does add to the song, but I will always lean toward the original version... Call me sentimental... I do recommend checking out his official video of this song from the '80s... His voice was so pure back then... While his rasp has matured with age, and his voice is a bit shaky by the time he made this video, but those qualities do add so much character to his singing... Anything he sings is a masterpiece... I read somewhere that he still does a limited touring schedule, even after his stroke several years ago... I hope he continues to share his gift with us all for as long as he is willing and able...
I agree with every single thing you said. Randy Travis was the first country star I can remember listening to. I was given the Storms of Life cassette and I have been captivated by his voice ever since
Randy was and is still a treasure. He's got the most amazing voice of all time in my opinion. Unfortunately in 2013 I think it was he suffered a stroke that left him unable to speak and communicate. His amazing wife has stood by him and helped him and he's now able to talk and communicate more. He told someone that his dream was to be able to sing again.
This is a Randy Travis hit. That whole album is phenomenal. Some other big artists came out at about the same time - Garth Brooks, Clint Blank, Ricky Van Shelton.
⭐️⭐️💫⭐️⭐️ .. you have found one of the best songs ever .. and YES !! It is in my karaoke file. 🎼🔥🎼 . Randy Travis made this a tearjerker in the 80s .. and Carrie elevated it when she released it. Live thus 10,002 times.. amazing singing 💞🎼💞🎼💞🎼💞 great choice Britt.
Randy was working in McDonalls and country music producer came in and heard him singing from the back Flipping hamburgers and I think that’s the last he ever cooked a hamburger
You can hear the beginnings of the symptoms of Parkinsons. I was proud of him for going on national television to sing with one of his biggest fans. He was and still is an amazing man.
I'm a long time fan of Randy Travis. It hurt to see him struggle to talk or sing in his later years. Travis suffered a stroke in 2013 and underwent emergency brain surgery to remove a blood clot. The stroke left him with a rare condition known as apraxia, which impacts ability to speak and communicate effectively. Have you heard his song DEEPER THAN A HOLLAR? Or on the Other Hand? Watch his music videos so you can hear him in his prime back when he was healthy and his voice was stronger. When I hear him sing now it's a joyful but bittersweet moment because his voice is not as polished as it used to be.
You mentioned that you like Gospel and Christian music... if someone hasn't already told you or you haven't already discovered it, Randy has several albums that you might enjoy.
Hi Brit, I got to meet Randy Travis working lights for an interview of his years ago. I can say he is a true country gentleman and an amazing singer. I got to hear him sing acapella and he is amazing.
I'd like to see you react to Randy Travis singing "Amazing Grace" at George Jones' funeral. Sadly it was 2 months before Randy had the stroke that rendered him unable to sing.
Thinking back on this, I believe this was a mashup before they came together to duet. The mashup was so well received they finally came together for the true duet.
If you want to listen to another great Randy Travis song, listen to the song baptism by Randy Travis and Kenny Chesney. That will give you that church feel along with Randy Travis's voice. Please listen to this one
Unfortunately Randy's voice has been silenced by severe illness and strokes. They did include him in a cameo appearance when CMA did Forever Country, Then and Now. Another great voice silenced by illness is Linda Ronstadt.
Girl,need a treat? Randy Travis "I Told You So" , the video. He is so much, that it brings tears to my eyes. Do you know his story? It's wonderful, heartbreaking, and emotions are everywhere.
Randy made this song in 1987. Carrie sang it with him on Idol as her special guest in 2009. He was 22 years older than when he first made it popular. That was a special Grand Ole Opry version of Idol. I love the way Randy looks at her and smiles while she sings. This was just the start of her life journey in Country music. She was awestruck to be singing with him. Lastly, I hope you have since found out that Randy Travis suffered a massive stroke a few years ago and will never sound the same again! Enjoy every minute of his songs! Also- I have never seen Carrie w short hair! I remember being confused by it. It was either a wig or her hair was tucked up.
Randy has that super smooth baritone and Carrie can belt like nobody's business...after Randy had his stroke the doctors told his wife that he may never be able to speak again..with her strong love and his strong drive he is able to speak again and is now working on being able to sing again..Randy has been a staple in my house for probably 30 plus years.
Randy is my favorite male vocalist. You should really dive into his music ❤ He has a lot of original gospel songs and even an amazing gospel album that I adore, and I'm not even Christian 😂
My goodness, what a satisfying reaction video. I love the way you did this. Excellent comments and you look great. Glad I found your channel and keep them coming.
He'd just recovered from a stroke on this. It's his song from the beginning of his career that Carrie joined him on. She was so gracious to him, staying in there vocally so he could meet it. This was on the Grand Old Opry stage. She's an American Idol Winner.
Beautiful ❤️🔥 I would never say I told you so, just open my arms wide because you are the only one, I smile brightly, that's just me 🔥🔥 if I truly loved a girl that wanted back, I would because true love, even when hurt, understands there for the grace of God go I, I could have been the one to fall and when left on the ground by the one that made me fall that I hope the one I realized I truly love will reach out their hand and lift me up and embrace me and say I know, it killed me but you and I are here now and let's start again anew, knowing that our love will grow and get stronger and sweeter because we know now it easy it is to lose this love, sorry guys, I went on a little but it just comes pouring out when something touches my heart so 🙏🙏🙏
Been waiting for this one! Great song Randy originally did it and when she covered it he gave her the credit that she made it hers with her range. Check out the tribute to him at the cma awards he had a stroke and came on stage during it. Also Alan Jackson’s drive for daddy gene
Your looking so amazing beautiful tonight Britt. Great reaction by you again as always thank you so much for sharing this video with us love it Britt.🌹❤️👍
I was fortunate enough to see Randy Travis in concert twice. What surprised me about his live show was how energetic & entertaining it was. Of course I expected the phenomenal vocals but he also just put on a really great show!❤
Woderful reaction to a wonderful song! :) It must have been a THRILL for Carrie, to sing with Randy at that point of her career! I'm a singer myself, and when I imagine, singing with... I don't know... Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson one of their songs... on TELEVISION!!! Gee! 😀 God bless Randy! :)
Britt, you do such a great job with your reactions. I especially enjoy your insights into what is going on musically and vocally. My other favorite thing is how you work to find the exact words that you want to explain how the music hits you. You are the best!
I'm not sure how many tracks are on RUclips, but find the album "Storms of Life" &just fall in love with Randy!!! During the late 70's & early 80's country music was almost indistinguishable from rock music!!! "Storms of Live" was Randy's first album and helped bring country back where it should've been. Him, George Strait and a few others like them
Randy released this song when I was about 6 years old. I didn't get the meaning of it, but it was my favorite. He's always been one of my favorite singers. I LOVE this version of thos song. Carrie more than does it justice.
You wanted to know why it said grand, old Opry, and American Idol on your title I think it was because Carrie Underwood won American Idol, but she was performing at the grand old Opry with Randy Travis
There is so many more songs you need to check out from Randy Travis! I thought he walked on water is a must and whisper my name is another, but so many more
Try Vern Gosdin, another strong silky voice of that time in country music. His nickname was "The Voice", and my favorite song is "Chiseled In Stone". Another great story song in country tunes!
I would like to see your reaction to LeAnn Rhymes song "I'll get even with you".... also, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, "Carry Me Carry" & "Sylvia's Mother".... and one more,,,, Vern Gosden "The Number" .... you are awesome, love your reacts...
I feel you on the essence of his voice. He's so smooth with rich voice. I remember this performance ☺️ I'd be the fan girl! I've sang this song in my car for decades now 😂 This cover was on her first album. Thanks for your reaction 💖🦋
You should listen to the duet between Randy Travis and Josh Turner where they cover “King of the Road”. It was a liver performance on CMT years back. Phenomenal voices.
Back when Randy was still healthy 😢. A treasure.
I love how he looks at her and smiles as she singing it's like the ultimate approval and satisfaction of how she did his song absolutely beautiful
Look at how Randy looks at her singing his song. He is blown away
this was on idol a few years after she won but she also performs it at the opry by herself when Randy sneaks out behind her after she sings it. He invited her to join the opry. it was perfect.
how cute!
@@brittreacts You should google that Opry invitation, It was super special

I agree with every single thing you said. Randy Travis was the first country star I can remember listening to. I was given the Storms of Life cassette and I have been captivated by his voice ever since
Randy Travis originally recorded this cut in the mid/late '80s ... maybe early '90s. He is iconic.
Randy was and is still a treasure. He's got the most amazing voice of all time in my opinion. Unfortunately in 2013 I think it was he suffered a stroke that left him unable to speak and communicate. His amazing wife has stood by him and helped him and he's now able to talk and communicate more. He told someone that his dream was to be able to sing again.
Carrie having the opportunity to sing this song with the LEGEND who recorded it...epic moment.
I knew that this girl was going to be a super star
If you can believe it, her voice has only gotten stronger since these older performances. Can't wait for more Carrie reacts 😊
This is a Randy Travis hit. That whole album is phenomenal. Some other big artists came out at about the same time - Garth Brooks, Clint Blank, Ricky Van Shelton.
Alan Jackson, Mark Chestnut, Joe Diffie, Dwight Yoakam. The late 80s into 90 91 was stacked
You should hear Randy sing this FIRST FIRST FIRST. LOL. I hate it when people hear covered songs before hearing the Original. Just me.
I agree...you need the perspective.
⭐️⭐️💫⭐️⭐️ .. you have found one of the best songs ever .. and YES !! It is in my karaoke file. 🎼🔥🎼 . Randy Travis made this a tearjerker in the 80s .. and Carrie elevated it when she released it. Live thus 10,002 times.. amazing singing 💞🎼💞🎼💞🎼💞 great choice Britt.
This is one of Randy’s biggest hits. He is one of her idols, so this was a dream come true for her to perform it with him :)
I love Randy Travis's voice and I know if he was still able to do so he would have some of the most beautiful country songs written and recorded.
Randy Travis has a true Country Voice..
Randy Travis is one that can definitely wreck you emotionally or comfort you.
Randy's voice puts the Oooooooooo in Smoooooth
I always loved this one because of the way Randy looks at her when she sings. He's just like wow, this amazing voice on my song...sheesh lol.
The first Carrie Underwood song I fell in love with back in the day. She crushes it. Randy is so humble. He knew a hit when he heard it.
Randy Travis im gonna love you forever great song for newlyweds
Love Randy Travis! Hope you can do more of his music. Forever and Ever Amen & Diggin' Up Bones are great songs. You'll love them!
Randy was working in McDonalls and country music producer came in and heard him singing from the back Flipping hamburgers and I think that’s the last he ever cooked a hamburger
This was one of Randy’s songs :)
I remember watching this performance on American Idol.
Randy owns this song. I love Carrie, but Randy tears your heart out with this song solo... my opinion.
You can hear the beginnings of the symptoms of Parkinsons. I was proud of him for going on national television to sing with one of his biggest fans. He was and still is an amazing man.
"The pair teamed up in 2009 for a duet on Travis' classic during Grand Ole Opry Week on American Idol"
This is Randy’s song so Carrie is along for the ride
@Britt- I Love Randy and Carrie. It's just a shame Randy can't sing anymore. Had the pleasure of seeing Carrie in concert 3 times.
You should watch Carrie singing this at the grand Ole opry and randy surprises her at the end
This is fire girl!!! Love it!! Always been a favorite!!
Carrie won IDOL that year. She is such a powerhouse.
I'm a long time fan of Randy Travis.
It hurt to see him struggle to talk or sing in his later years.
Travis suffered a stroke in 2013 and underwent emergency brain surgery to remove a blood clot. The stroke left him with a rare condition known as apraxia, which impacts ability to speak and communicate effectively.

When I hear him sing now it's a joyful but bittersweet moment because his voice is not as polished as it used to be.
His voice is like silky country butter. Soooo good.
I still remember when his debut album came out, buying it and listening to it on repeat. lol I was just amazed by his voice.
Randy Travis singing The Old Rugged Cross is amazing. Would be a great reaction.
You mentioned that you like Gospel and Christian music... if someone hasn't already told you or you haven't already discovered it, Randy has several albums that you might enjoy.
💛
Randy sitting there and watching in amazement while she sings his song.
Well worth the watch…
Hi Brit, I got to meet Randy Travis working lights for an interview of his years ago. I can say he is a true country gentleman and an amazing singer. I got to hear him sing acapella and he is amazing.
She sang this song at the Grand Ole Opry but this one was from American Idol when Randy Travis was there as a vocal coach.
I'd like to see you react to Randy Travis singing "Amazing Grace" at George Jones' funeral.
Sadly it was 2 months before Randy had the stroke that rendered him unable to sing.
You should check out "The Champion" by Carrie ft. Ludacris.
I dont believe there is a live version so it would have to be the music video.
I will say Randy makes me "swoon". Randy has been in my life since heard country music. I was 5 or 6
I was lucky enough to see Randy Travis in concert before he had the stroke and it’s something I’ll never forget
My life
Story. Sadness.
Girl, I enjoy your company. Randy Travis after his massive stroke. I love him.
Nice , You know muaic.
Allen Jackson here in the real world great song
Thinking back on this, I believe this was a mashup before they came together to duet. The mashup was so well received they finally came together for the true duet.
Great reaction as always! I haven't heard that song forever. One of my favorite songs.
I am all up in my feelings now. Great❤ reaction, AS ALWAYS❤❤
If you want to listen to another great Randy Travis song, listen to the song baptism by Randy Travis and Kenny Chesney. That will give you that church feel along with Randy Travis's voice. Please listen to this one
You need to listen to the original by Randy Travis he is amazing.
Unfortunately Randy's voice has been silenced by severe illness and strokes. They did include him in a cameo appearance when CMA did Forever Country, Then and Now. Another great voice silenced by illness is Linda Ronstadt.
It breaks my heart seeing Randy now. It's so sad he had that stroke.

Hi Britt, I know u get a lot of requests but if you can, review Randy Travis "Forever and ever Amen", I think you will love it, Have a great day.
A DJ from B105 in Cincinnati, OH did a mashup of the 2 versions which led to them doing this duet
❤️❤️❤️
Randy Travis is country royalty ❤
You wanted to know why it said grand, old Opry, and American Idol on your title I think it was because Carrie Underwood won American Idol, but she was performing at the grand old Opry with Randy Travis
This is my first time on your channel and now Ibam fan!
3 Wooden Crosses was probably the song that spoke to you and made you feel the way you felt.
There is so many more songs you need to check out from Randy Travis! I thought he walked on water is a must and whisper my name is another, but so many more
I will keep those in mind, thanks!
Try Vern Gosdin, another strong silky voice of that time in country music. His nickname was "The Voice", and my favorite song is "Chiseled In Stone". Another great story song in country tunes!
Yes! Not many react to him
Is It Raining at Your House is another wonderful song by him
When country was still country, and he a bunch of them!@@christielysdale1815
Probably when he sang “3 wooden crosses”, wasn’t it?
I would like to see your reaction to LeAnn Rhymes song "I'll get even with you".... also, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, "Carry Me Carry" & "Sylvia's Mother".... and one more,,,, Vern Gosden "The Number" .... you are awesome, love your reacts...
They are at the CMA awards.
Did I miss this reaction? Peace, Love!!
I feel you on the essence of his voice. He's so smooth with rich voice.
I remember this performance ☺️ I'd be the fan girl! I've sang this song in my car for decades now 😂
This cover was on her first album. Thanks for your reaction 💖🦋
thanks for watching! glad you enjoyed it!
Randy Travis is a true artist! My two favorite songs are "Promises" which is just him and his guitar!! The second is "it's just a matter of time"
I will keep those in mind, thanks!
DO CARRIE UNDERWOOD TEMPORARY HOME..❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
❤️
Luv Me Some Britt…❤
You should listen to the duet between Randy Travis and Josh Turner where they cover “King of the Road”. It was a liver performance on CMT years back. Phenomenal voices.
You would love David Phelps voice, his belts are incredible.
I love this but I love Randys original solo version.
You love Philippine's singers and artists. Please react to Paulette Cambronero, singing Never Enough. It as a match for any other singer.
Its the opry
He wrote the song.
