I love watching Kacey out of her comfort zone with the pop vibe. She's amazing. Visibly unsure of how to act and following Katy's lead, but nailing it the entire time.
i just came their performance of firework and was thinking it was perfect that Kacey sang the verse with "Rainbow" and then this one with "Butterfly" ---- awesome perfection.
i remember when this aired years ago and thinking, I hope she (Kacey) has a great career. She just seemed so sweet and her little dance moves are the cutest. Fast forward, she won album of the year, and rightfully so.
I would love to see Lacey come out her quiet beautiful presence and ROAR! She was warming up, a few more songs and I think she would Country Rocked the Pop out of it!!
She's not, it's just hard for her to sing Roar because she sings a different kind of music. Roar is already hard to sing but having a country voice makes it even harder. That's Kacey's situation.
Katy is better at belting whereas Kacey is better at the slow harmonies. Katy doesn't have as much control over her voice when she is singing softly. Kacey can't belt it. That's why they aren't competitors in the music industry.
@@collincastleberry3277 no, Katy was still better at Merry go round but I didn’t like her tone since I prefer the pop rock voice of Katy. While Kacey’s voice is so much more calmer and country.
I hope they someday go to Mandarin High cause that's one of the songs I've wanted to play on a Pedal Steel. Of course they'll have to clean it, & re-string it if I'm ever going to add distortion to it,
Kacey wasn’t used to so much belting and katy has a much wider range and is used to exploring her voice while kacey was barley starting her career and can easily show that she’s playing it safe
True fact. I also loved that Katy sung marry go round with her which is really country but I didn’t like her voice on that since I prefer to hear Katy on a pop rocky music with mid-high belts. She was on pitch but I didn’t like her tone that much. This one though was great since it actually shows her ability to make clear high belts and Kacey didn’t do so bad either.
Legitimate Angst and impatience regarding career slowness The A & R man on Katy’s label was likely over the moon the day she delivered this number to the label
I love these women. . . but I have to admit that having Kevin Hart do his take on the song, supporting Katy Perry with his whole being, would take this over the top :-)
It must be a challenge to do these artist mashups with different vocal range. Katys vocals are a little deeper than Kacys, so on Kacys songs Katy sounded kinda weird, and on Katys songs it sounded a little too low for Kacy.
agree! I do think they'll do awesome if they do make a completely new songs that combine both of their qualities. Roar and Merry go round are "specially" made for each of them, so it got weird
honestly looks like they switched parts last minute or something - Kacey should be doing the lead on the chorus at least ONCE?!?!?! I sympathize with the look in her eyes. She also may not be able to hear herself.
You can never compare these two it's obvious that Kacey is better than Katy after all she has one won 6 Grammy awards whereas Katy who is still on the waiting list lol
@@welfareprincess the other girl wasn't even trying though. Like at all. Barely singing. Kacey should not be there. Watch the crossroads with Alicia Keys and see how the other person does. Just because it's not your song that doesn't mean you shouldn't put your all into it.
@@SuperZero1215 it isn't her style and she can't do it because she didn't used to more upbeat and fast tempo song, Katy sure does ruin Merry go round to. I definitely chose this performance than their's Merry Go Round though, at least in this one Kacey sounds like a background singer, but at Merry Go Round Katy stand out with her ad lib and improv, but not in a good way (it definitely not smooth)
People stop comparing these two, they are completely different artists, Katy brings the energy, Kacey is softer, both are beautiful.
YES and that's why there's many variety of music amd sounds, they got everything covered because it differs from person to person
I love watching Kacey out of her comfort zone with the pop vibe. She's amazing. Visibly unsure of how to act and following Katy's lead, but nailing it the entire time.
Kacey’s voice gives a different vibe to this song! They sound so good together! While one is calm as an ocean other fierce as a storm.
this would be a great live release version
GREAT DUO!!!!!!!!!!! Katy has a more raspey, but beautiful, but kacey has a sweet tone almost like honey!! LOVE YOU BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!
Not gonna lie but I love Kaceys harmonies it's legit beautiful and her voice is amazingly stunning ❤️
i just came their performance of firework and was thinking it was perfect that Kacey sang the verse with "Rainbow" and then this one with "Butterfly" ---- awesome perfection.
the back up dancers were everythinggg
Katy Perry is so underrated. She turned around American Idol and her live performances with the contestants are unbelievable
Idol is a stupid rigged set up show
@@JeremyMaz that doesn't matter they're talking about her voice on the performances
@@JeremyMaz much much better than the voice, idols created many artist, the voice winners always ended up ''unheard''
@@thankuslay6766 I worked with both prior contestants. Both shows are rigged bs
american idol is a rigged, scripted joke
Hidden gem: at 2:40 white boy knows the lyrics and is getting his groove on. I see you, respect! Thanks to the camera person.
Katy's live vocals are underrated
No, they are not. Just a typical comment to get clicks.
@@roberttrail7013 U clicked
her adlib at 02:01 was so good
@@roberttrail7013 what you onto…Those clear high belts are amazing and still supported really well 😬
KATY'S VOICE IS A PRESENCE THAT IT WAS POWERFUL
2:45, loved when Kacey took the low harmony. Just nailed it.
i remember when this aired years ago and thinking, I hope she (Kacey) has a great career. She just seemed so sweet and her little dance moves are the cutest. Fast forward, she won album of the year, and rightfully so.

I love these crossroads performances
Seriously we need a recorded version of this so I can buy it. Cmt please make CDs of all of these performances
Thanks, dear.. you're❤ an angel
...
I still shiver at the beginning
Oh my god they’re so beautiful 😍
YOU GIRLS SOUND GREAT TOGETHER. YES
Yes they do
this is amazing. something about it is just so good
Kasey is a national treasure
The climax at 3:05 gives me chills
LOVE THESE GUYS.
I love this performance it is one of its best.
Love these girls 💕
Yeah yes💓👆
Thank you for sharing your gifts, ma chéries!
🔥☯️🔥
Katy 🥰
Bless her heart you can tell Kacey is nervous and trying to impress to impress Katy
She's not, it's just hard for her to sing Roar because she sings a different kind of music. Roar is already hard to sing but having a country voice makes it even harder. That's Kacey's situation.
Um she destroyed her on Merry go round she was out of her comfort zone not nervous to impress lol

I was playing along on the Pedal Steel Guitar
Yo, these CMT Crossroads are the shit.
Beautiful
this is awesome
Excellent ladies 😍😘😘😘
katy and kacey
I can barely hear Kaceys voice
1:30 Kacey holds her mic towards the audience
Beautiful💖💞😍😘😘😘
Good performance but I love this song when it's belted out.
Kacey writes her own music and plays numerous instruments and is such an amazing lady; Katy belts it out.
Katy writes her own songs since her career started. She wrote 65 songs for her 1st record. So don't spills lies out of your mouth.
Whoa cowgirls!
This was just Katy Perry singing and Kacey was basically a backup singer.
Kacey wasn’t used to so much belting and katy has a much wider range and is used to exploring her voice while kacey was barley starting her career and can easily show that she’s playing it safe
True fact. I also loved that Katy sung marry go round with her which is really country but I didn’t like her voice on that since I prefer to hear Katy on a pop rocky music with mid-high belts.

Katy was holding back You’all

My baby kacey look so nervous
🦁
😍😍😍
Obrigado 😍😍😍😍
When was it?
❤️
wow first view
so fitting that there are black women providing backup vocals to these strong white women
I love these women. . . but I have to admit that having Kevin Hart do his take on the song, supporting Katy Perry with his whole being, would take this over the top :-)

🥰🥰🥰🥰
Why didn’t Kacey take the higher harmony??
Cuz Kacey can't reach these higher notes
bc she can't her voice doesn't have the power and it's katy's song
honestly looks like they switched parts last minute or something - Kacey should be doing the lead on the chorus at least ONCE?!?!?!
I sympathize with the look in her eyes. She also may not be able to hear herself.
she maybe was really nervous and uncomfortable as she's not a pop singer plus this song is more upbeat
Cause Katie voice
Wish she could keep pace with Katy!
Kacey did NOT want to be there lol
she did lmao this one song idk shr was nervous
You can never compare these two it's obvious that Kacey is better than Katy after all she has one won 6 Grammy awards whereas Katy who is still on the waiting list lol
Grammys doesn't have anything to do with talent, a lot of shitty artists have won a grammy.
@@pedrolc7256 though I agree, Kacey isn't one of the shitty artist Grammy gave awards to. Katy did robbed tho
@@someoneyoullmeeteventually6834 Katy doesn't have a Grammy so how could she rob one? 🤣
@@pedrolc7256 I meant Katy was robbed by Grammy, duh 🙃
Kacey lacked confidence in her performance. Fish out of water.
Katy Perry without baby bumps
katy carried this performance. kacey wanted to get out asap.
Well yeah.. No shit she carried her own song lmao
@@welfareprincess the other girl wasn't even trying though. Like at all. Barely singing. Kacey should not be there. Watch the crossroads with Alicia Keys and see how the other person does. Just because it's not your song that doesn't mean you shouldn't put your all into it.

Kacey sings this with both hands tied behind her back and a rag down her throat. Child's play. Respect her love of the pop music. But kind of funny.
She can barely sing it so she sings low
Clicked 100% for Kacey. She is one of the most talented singer songwriters I've ever heard. Not really into Katy Perry's oversinging.
To be completely honest katy's presence overpowered kacey. 🤷♀️
Why Kacey, WHY!? 😒
I never understood why people like Katy her songs sound like childrens music
Thats what people who usually listen only to comercial song say...
So cringy. That Kacey girl makes me wanna stop watching. No stage presence at all. SO boring to listen to and watch,
kacey isnt a tiger, she doesnt roar, she is more of a butterfly🦋
I think she felt out of place and this made her uncomfortable and nervous during the performance.
There voices dont sound good together
Kacey against a one of the most overrated singers of all time
