Randy said that about Carrie, when he heard on American Idol. Most veteran country music stars said the same thing about Carrie. They knew Carrie was going to change country music for the better.
Absolutely and she still is. Gotta love those okies. Vince, Reba, Merle, Carrie. That's quite a list and it's even longer. Love this duet. God bless them both.
Yeah I see the pride in Randy's face. That smile rather hewas so in awe. And Carrie is amazing. I dont think Carrie knows just how good she I really is. Which ses her even more beautiful. You see stars out there and they think they are Gods gift and they are not half as good.They act like like pure arseholes with their egos. This girl goes up on stage, shy and unsure of herself. And then goes and lights up the stage and everyones life with that those wonderful pipes of hers to the point she can bring us to tears. And lights up not just the stage but everyones life listening to her. And she still doesn't realise just how good she is. That's what makes us love Carrie I think. Randy certainly gets it. Both are amazing. God bless them. Good to see you back after your illness Randy. So glad you made it. Susan xxxx❤❤❤
Randy so wants to hand this song to Carrie all the way. One big problem, Carrie has politely and publicly doesn't want to do. That is how much respect Carrie has for Randy. And since Randy can't full sing yet from his stroke. She doesn't sing it at all. Randy knows how good Carrie is.
@@joshuasuddethjs your an idiot! I get it yes beautiful girl but no he recognizes an amazing voice. I no its RUclips and full of stupid comments and ignorant people and thats what your comment is but its unnecessary here.
@@behroozhakimian9868 Randy knows Carrie has no problem getting the high notes in this song. As Randy said before to Carrie. This song was made for Carrie. As a humble Carrie would say no way.
Such a good performance. Massive respect for Randy Travis here. So many performers would have tried to match her to show their talent. He just stands back, lets the young star have their moment, and enjoys it. It doesn't hurt that she has an amazing voice.
If you ask me what do I need to listen to. So I know what country music sounds like. I would tell you to listen to randy travis and little of Carrie underwood and you will be on the right track ❤️🤔❤️
Randy is one of my all time favorites…unbelievable voice…sucks that he kinda made his own luck there for a while…robbed the world of some great songs cutting his career short
@@orourkeb40He had a stroke. He couldn’t sing at that point. He had another that completely took his voice since then. She can’t touch prime Randy. That’s why we still remember him and forgot about her
Ok, so I commented on this video 15 years ago and 11 years ago, so... here I am AGAIN. Such a beautiful song. Since my last comment I got a PhD, I got married, I have two kids and am about to buy a house. See you in a few years :-)
I didn't see any social media 15 years ago, lol. I'm happy you've accomplished so much in the last few years. May you continue to live a blessed life. 🦋

Man no doubt. I love randy he is very special in my heart when it comes to his music . And his life story just like Toby Keith and Alan Jackson and King George jones
I love how he’s literally so in awe of her while singing his song that he literally gets distracted from playing his guitar! The proud and sweet way he looks at her melts my heart. Love these 2 so much
The reason, Carrie did most of the song was couple of reasons. Randy was feeling weak and he was going to let Carrie go solo, Carrie said if you don't perform I don't perform. And other reason is, Carrie can hit the high notes, Randy can't. Randy's deep vocals prevents him from getting as high as Carrie can.

++Pokygirl2001 I'm not really a Country hater, but there seem to be too many similar songs. There are a lot of good voices in the Country field, but they don't really so it for me. The only Country singer that really got right through to me and actually moved me deeply, and for me the greatest of the lot, was Jerry Lee Lewis. He would have converted me, but there never was anyone else remotely like him or anyone else who could wring so much emotion out of a song. I still listen to him very often.
In 2024, still love watching this. Randy was sick during this performance, hence why his voice isn’t 100% and let Carrie do most of the singing. He wanted to be there’s for Carrie despite being sick and his voice gone.
@@reaganfoga5988 Yeah he was just ill.. from what I understand, he wasn't feeling well, he knew his voice wasn't 100% and really only did so out of respect for Carrie Underwood. This is why he let Carrie do most of the singing. If you listen to any of his performances after this, he sounded fantastic. I went to a concert of his before his stroke, he sounded awesome.. 100%.
James Daniels to further comment, Carrie has 20 no. 1 hits to her credit. She is consider a veteran in the music business now. This video was 5 years ago.
The main reason, Randy is smiling like that. Randy is acting like a proud papa. When Carrie decided to sing this song, she got permission from Randy. She sent Randy a tape of her doing this song. And as Randy keeps saying that. Carrie's high vocals fit this song better than his low vocals
Carrie wasn't sacred to look at Randy. Main reason, Carrie didn't look at Randy because Randy was grinning from ear to ear and Carrie can't sing, when Randy is doing that.

This performance right here, Randy literally passed on the torch to Carrie. Single handedly this is one of my favorite songs, and favorite performances. Fantastic job.
Despite his drug and alcohol issues, Randy Travis is a country music legend. I have loved him since the 80's and love him still. His music is timeless. Will we still be listening to FGL 30 years from now, like we do his music.
My late lil brother knew the words to all of his songs and was a big fan from the time Randy started (my bro was a teen) until he passed away. Hope Randy gets better with all of the issues he has had in recent yrs.
I'm from Randy's hometown of Marshville NC. My mom and her sister use to babysit Randy and his brothers and sisters many years ago......lol I grew up just down the road from them. Their actual last name is Traywick. Randy's brother Ricky can sing just as good as he can. You can see him singing here on RUclips. He use to come to my church and sing some.
Mike C. His brother Ricky doesn’t sing as good as him. Randy Travis is king of country music! He’s the best there ever was and ever will be! I hope he recovers fast because my dream is to meet him. Either way I still want to meet him! He’s amazing
She was my favorite from the first time I heard her audition on American Idol! Wish they would come back on, so much talent in the U.S. ,just needs a chance!@
That smile Randy gets when Carrie starts hitting those high notes.. One day I want to play guitar with a girl who gives me that smile when I here her sing
fastfoodgaming Randy's smile when Carrie was singing the high parts, was Randy acting like a proud papa. He has said that Carrie high vocals suits this song better than his low vocals.
+robert gardell Oh I noticed that grin, I wish that Randy got a little more sound time, because it is rare, but done as Randy does it, his bass might be a touch better than her highs if you get my drift, probably because her voice is so pure but his has a small amount of gravel.
Duff Gordon That is the way, Randy wanted Carrie to do it. Randy actually wants Carrie to take it as her song and Carrie said no way. It is his song and that is the way it stays.
@@lindamon5101 Hello!!! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
Simply WOW. Carrie sang that so flawlessly... Yep. Randy sure had the smiles and looks that sure meant that the song was getting full justice and he was proud to be sittin' next to her. BRAVO to Carrie, clearly Idol's best ever voice and talent discovery. Crystal clear, superb vibrato, great range.....plz, more high notes! Randy C-17A
The fact that she has a living legend watching her sing his sing with so much pride. There was no doubt that she herself was going to be a icon and someday a legend herself!
Randy s a excellent singer and writer, he had trouble just like evety one else in this world does, so what, unless your in somone else's shoes you NEVER know the real story, god bless him ,hope he is well.
Don't know which is worse..losing a artist to death or losing a singer like Randy Travis to a stroke..love his music always did.. glad I got to see him twice
In my opinion, of all the live performances I've ever seen and heard on television shows, this one is the best.. I was mesmerized the first time I saw them perform it.
@@rhondaboncutter5812 Idk.. I've heard from a few people that had known her to party a lot. One of them even got into an argument with her at one of the parties. Lol
Omg, this put me in tears! I love how Randy looked at Carrie with such love and pride while singing his part soo beautifully like he doesn't think much of his self even tho he is such a legend!
Y cualquiera lo estaría luego de escucharla sobre todo en esa maravillosa interpretación que hizo del tema how great thou art acompañada de....Vince Gill. Insuperable actuación
Amen to that Sue Kara please God 🙏🙌 I ask on bended knees to PLEASE HEAL RANDY AN AMAZING MAN, FRIEND, SINGER, FATHER, SON, HUSBAND AND ALL THAT I HAVE NOT MENTIONED HES SO RIGHTEOUS AND A BLESSING TO ALL PLEASE GOD PLEASE SAVE HIM ITS IN YOUR NAME I DO PRAY AMEN!! I LOVE YOU RANDY YOUR ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS, APRIL V.
Some people say Carrie stole the spotlight from Randy. Absolutely not true. Randy wanted Carrie to sing most of it. As Carrie later explained Randy wasn't feeling very well and he wanted Carrie to do this performance solo. Carrie simple said you don't perform I don't perform. Which Carrie did most of the song. Randy wants Carrie to take ownership of this song and she won't out of respect for him.
++issalissa Here was I thinking she's a warm, attractive young woman with a lovely voice who is only figuratively speaking an angel. Now I find out she's not a woman at all but an angel. It's good to get these things straight in my mind.
It was in this moment that she solidified herself as a country powerhouse. And country music was going to have to get prepared for her to to make some serious waves!! Randy knew she was the real deal during this duet.
Her perfect, extended BELTS ending in perfect, prolonged vibrato kind of send me off.....I'm not her biggest fan - but it's clear why Carrie is a superstar. Even after so much success and rewards - she is still kind of underrated in country music? Because they don't like to go crazy over a "voice" alone and Carrie straddles the line between big hair twang and torn dress rock n roll. That said - Randy Travis' resonant, scratchy, tenor brought the emotion of this duet back down to earth. Carrie's upper harmonies are so pretty. I grew up on American Idol, but not country music. This turned me right out
She is a beautiful woman and she's beautiful and crazy women that love you David and his family and her husband but she doesn't know anything else for me anymore take a break from me now David you have the pictures to tell me what the problem is not using it but I don't have to be able to do that and he's going through the same things you know it was a good deal of it but it was an amazing thing for you know what to say about this guy but he's gonna get me out of the house with the kids who are in the last year of his family for you David
That is because Carrie can get into high range, where he can't. As Randy said this is where this song belongs in the high range, Carrie reaches. He said it was nice hearing in the proper range.
I love Randy Travis!!! I realize that people like me can have no influence on him, or even ever have the chance to talk to him, but I wish that someone who does have that opportunity would reach out to help him with his problems, instead of the dicks in the media stomping him down further every time he makes a mistake. People who drink excessively need us to HELP THEM, NOT PUSH THEM DOWN FURTHER!!! WE LOVE YOU RANDY!!!
I wish we could get updates on his recovery. Like you ... HELP the man ..don't STOMP the man. I hope God's healing powers will bring back to his fans..that smile and voice that we all cherish. I love and miss Randy Travis. And this song was awesome.
msconniejo65 From Randy Travis to all his friends...April 20, 2015 STORMS OF LIFE... Hello my friends. It was an amazing gift to feel all of the love from you tonight in Dallas at the Academy of Country Music Awards. It has been a hard fought and miraculous journey since my stroke two years ago, and I have gained a greater understanding of God's grace and how quickly events can change us. Words can never explain my gratitude to those who continue to believe in me, pray for me, and keep me lifted up in thought and deed. The kind cards and heartfelt letters of testimony and encouragement brought me through the darkest of days. Mary read each and every one of them to me and I felt the love and concern being sent my way; and, I gathered strength from this. None of us are worthy of the immense outpouring of support shown to me and I consider each of my fans, a friend. Thank you from the bottom my heart. The power of music remains a source of inspiration and healing for me. Writing songs was always a passion of mine and I still have a lot to share with you. It is my prayer that, with continued healing, one day soon, I will be back on that stage exchanging music with my fans...my friends, who with God's amazing grace, have brought me this far. As I work through music/speech/occupational/physical therapy, it is my hope that my songs of yesterday continue to touch your life in some way. I wish you each-good health, a kind word, a song in your heart, and a friend that has your back through thick and thin. My gratitude & love, “Forever and Ever, Amen” Randy Travis
Lorene Ness God Bless You, Randy Travis, and your wife, friends and family. I pray for you everyday that God will restore your health and let you sing again. But if that never happens, the gifts you have given the world already and continue to give us are more than enough. Those of us who love and admire you just want you to get healthy, stronger and enjoy your life. We want God to heal you, and we are so grateful that you are still here with us. The world is a nicer, more meaningful place because of you. May God bless you, Mary and all of your family. Thank you for your talent and your humanity. Your fan and friend, Gary Silber, Jackson, MS
He later said that while they were performing this song, as he was watching her sing her part, he knew she was going to light country music on fire.
I understand why Randy would say that
Randy said that about Carrie, when he heard on American Idol. Most veteran country music stars said the same thing about Carrie. They knew Carrie was going to change country music for the better.
Absolutely and she still is. Gotta love those okies. Vince, Reba, Merle, Carrie. That's quite a list and it's even longer. Love this duet. God bless them both.
I will never forget him looking over at her and that smile of his!!!!
P
Randy looked like a proud dad watching Carrie.
God love him. Yeah think it lifted his heart to hear how great she is.
Hello
~AMAZING BEAUTIFUL~💕
Yeah I see the pride in Randy's face. That smile rather hewas so in awe. And Carrie is amazing. I dont think Carrie knows just how good she I really is. Which ses her even more beautiful.

Randy Travis seeing a star being born .
This woman belted out a song written and performed by her idol. She killed it and Randy was gracious enough to give her credit. He is a legend.

He really is a legend!

@@xkastl3z No they don't, sad.
The way randy looked at Carrie while she is singing is so beautiful!!!! It’s so touching!!! He looked so proud of her
HE really did. He look like a proud proud father.
I just love this song and more so the combination they r unique .
He's like "You know what, I'm just gonna sit here and listen because this is amazing"
I love this performance so much!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly..He's looking at her like he is a true and loving and happy dad of a daughter
I’m 70 years old and tear up every time I watch this because she had her entire career in front of her and Randy is very near the end.
Let’s not think about Randy Travis being at the end. He still going and incredible as he ever been. He still got it.
Hello
Have you heard Randy's new single? With the assistance of AI, he's beginning anew. It's stunning what they've done to bring his voice back.
I am now 32; I am not sure that when I am old like your age I can feel about love and pain like now or not. Does love still in our soul?
🥺♥️
She took his song to a whole different level. He looks at her with such pride.
He signed the song over to her that night
I love his approving grin when she hits that high note.
@@orourkeb40He had a stroke. He couldn’t sing at that point. He had another that completely took his voice since then. She can’t touch prime Randy. That’s why we still remember him and forgot about her

If I had a dollar for how many times I’ve come back to watch this over the years, my mortgage would be paid off
Me too!’
Hello
If you had a single dollar fir how many you would have one dollar. If you had a dollar for EACH time you would be loaded.
Same here Two of Country Music Greatest Them two together doing this song is bad ass as bad ass can get.
Watch this video every night before bed, somebody direct those very same words owing to foolishness
The look he gives her when she's singing is priceless.
What’s awesome is that he let her have that moment….
Randy Travis is still alive. So the RIP is premature. He had a massive stroke but by the grace of God he is still with us.
Took my breath away!!!❤
This is a true treasure. Love him so much.
He is my favorite country singer!
Travis and Carrie ❤️ here in 2020!

Randy was mesmerized by her flawless and beautiful voice. Who isn’t?
Randy was one of the last true country artists. His voice and range was pure gold!
Why are you saying was? He is still alive.
It hurts to see ‘was’ for him! He will always be ‘is’ even he is finally gone. Not many souls like him around!
Man no doubt. I love randy he is very special in my heart when it comes to his music . And his life story just like Toby Keith and Alan Jackson and King George jones

So amazing!!!!!

Beautifully said.
that smile on his face says " YES GIRL! SING IT!"
Randy already knew Carrie could sing long before this. He was smiling because Carrie can hit the high notes that are in that song, he can't.
Exactly
I noticed that too. He sees the talent for sure..
Omg is the pun intended
Tanner Anderson ya
I love this so much. I have watched it so many times and think Carrie was never better
I love Randy's look of admiration to Carrie - he's proud....
I feel like Randy was supposed to sing more with her but he just loved hearing her sing his song and knew she was talented and wanted her to shine.
The reason, Carrie did most of the song was couple of reasons. Randy was feeling weak and he was going to let Carrie go solo, Carrie said if you don't perform I don't perform. And other reason is, Carrie can hit the high notes, Randy can't. Randy's deep vocals prevents him from getting as high as Carrie can.
Randy was actually sick during this performance, hence the reason his voice wasn’t 100% and let Carrie do most of the performance.
I was wondering if this was during the time that Randy was going on his bless and healthy way
Ya I think so too
Carrie wasn't expecting this song to go no. 1 like it did. She recorded this song to honor Randy and Carrie's fans turned into a no. 1 song.
Randy's fans too❤
Randys smile says it all♥♥♥♥♥♥
he looked at her and smiled like a proud papa!
Yes, he was, because he enjoys her high vocals, where Randy this song should be. He said it sounds better with her high vocals.
Sing it carrie

Beautiful
She has the PUREST voice.... I love how Randy keeps smiling while she sings... OUTSTANDING!!!!
anthony snider ** Right !
The main reason, Randy is smiling like that. Randy is acting like a proud papa. When Carrie decided to sing this song, she got permission from Randy. She sent Randy a tape of her doing this song. And as Randy keeps saying that. Carrie's high vocals fit this song better than his low vocals
He realizes that he is seeing vocal perfection in this new young country superstar.
Beautiful what else can you say
She's so scared to even look at him...and he has such joy in her talent!
Yes.. you can see it in his eyes.. this girl is destined for greatness
That's her idol!
Carrie wasn't sacred to look at Randy. Main reason, Carrie didn't look at Randy because Randy was grinning from ear to ear and Carrie can't sing, when Randy is doing that.
One of the only Idol winners I feel
Deserved it
This broke my heart. Why are the sad songs always the most beautiful?
Because it comes from the heart.

Randy grins ear to ear when she hits the high notes as if he can't believe the talent he is hearing.
This performance right here, Randy literally passed on the torch to Carrie. Single handedly this is one of my favorite songs, and favorite performances. Fantastic job.
My favorite song too
come back to this every couple weeks. what a phenomenal performance
Despite his drug and alcohol issues, Randy Travis is a country music legend. I have loved him since the 80's and love him still. His music is timeless. Will we still be listening to FGL 30 years from now, like we do his music.
My late lil brother knew the words to all of his songs and was a big fan from the time Randy started (my bro was a teen) until he passed away.
Hope Randy gets better with all of the issues he has had in recent yrs.
amen
lovemuffin1963
I was lucky enough to meet him when I was in the Army I was Germany 1987. He was a very sweet man. Cute as Hell.
FGL? You should be ashamed of yourself for mentioning them in the same sentence
I LOVE Randy Travis! Hope he recovers from his stroke and gets back into singing Beautiful Songs again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen to that
I'm from Randy's hometown of Marshville NC. My mom and her sister use to babysit Randy and his brothers and sisters many years ago......lol I grew up just down the road from them. Their actual last name is Traywick. Randy's brother Ricky can sing just as good as he can. You can see him singing here on RUclips. He use to come to my church and sing some.
awesome! I am also originally from NC. Archdale
Mike C. His brother Ricky doesn’t sing as good as him. Randy Travis is king of country music! He’s the best there ever was and ever will be! I hope he recovers fast because my dream is to meet him. Either way I still want to meet him! He’s amazing
yes, I would love to meet him too....:)
Love that "oh shit" grin from Randy while watching Carrie kill it
+VH5150Man Randy knew how good Carrie is, long before they did this performance. He knew this was type of performance Carrie was going to give.
+robert gardeYes, it was so sweet...it says it all!
l
good job
She was my favorite from the first time I heard her audition on American Idol! Wish they would come back on, so much talent in the U.S. ,just needs a chance!@
J lol ikr
❤ Carrie Underwood is amazing I love her ❤
That smile Randy gets when Carrie starts hitting those high notes.. One day I want to play guitar with a girl who gives me that smile when I here her sing
fastfoodgaming I agree...I noticed that too.
fastfoodgaming and Carrie's smile and little clap when RT starts singing. She knows she is on stage with a legend.
fastfoodgaming Randy's smile when Carrie was singing the high parts, was Randy acting like a proud papa. He has said that Carrie high vocals suits this song better than his low vocals.
+robert gardell Oh I noticed that grin, I wish that Randy got a little more sound time, because it is rare, but done as Randy does it, his bass might be a touch better than her highs if you get my drift, probably because her voice is so pure but his has a small amount of gravel.
Duff Gordon That is the way, Randy wanted Carrie to do it. Randy actually wants Carrie to take it as her song and Carrie said no way. It is his song and that is the way it stays.
A voice straight from God. Give him his glory
Randy's smile at 3:18 is all you need to know how amazing Carrie's voice is! Amazing duo, amazing song, amazing emotions!

I love how he looks at her while while she’s singing
The way he looks at her makes it so much better! He’s said that his song was meant for her to sing 🔥
She still doesn't think so. Carrie just put it on her album to honor Randy. She had no idea it was going to be a blockbuster hit for her.
As I listened to this I couldn't help thinking about Mr. Travis. This was beautiful, maybe the best performance in American idol history.
Oh my God, they're touching my heart and soul...
Hambog Ng Sagpro Krew 12wat een prachtige stem
Hambog Ng Sagpro Krew watched this live, I was hooked! Still am after all these years

Think Randy let Carrie take the lead and majority of the song because he knew damned well Carrie was a star!
She definitely did that song good!
IS A STAR❤

Randy was SO proud of her.....
Hello!!! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
Simply WOW. Carrie sang that so flawlessly... Yep. Randy sure had the smiles and looks that sure meant that the song was getting full justice and he was proud to be sittin' next to her. BRAVO to Carrie, clearly Idol's best ever voice and talent discovery. Crystal clear, superb vibrato, great range.....plz, more high notes! Randy C-17A
Very well stated!
One of the best voices Carrie and Kelly Clarkson are the 2 best voices.
couldn't agree more.
and David Archuleta is a third. I have heard him in concert several times and he is right there with those 2.
C0017A ca
This is my favorite duet
Hello!!! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
She sings so beautifully. Brings me to tears.
Randy knew right off the bat that she had talent. His smile says it all. Lol. So adorable
The fact that she has a living legend watching her sing his sing with so much pride. There was no doubt that she herself was going to be a icon and someday a legend herself!
when I watch this I cry because of Randy Travis had a stoke and finally sang again miss listening to him sing
Jenna Sample me too I miss the old country music
Jenna Sample ** I agree !

Love Randy Travis. We've all been through bad things.
Randy s a excellent singer and writer, he had trouble just like evety one else in this world does, so what, unless your in somone else's shoes you NEVER know the real story, god bless him ,hope he is well.
He smiled because she nailed it!!
Hello how are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
Don't know which is worse..losing a artist to death or losing a singer like Randy Travis to a stroke..love his music always did.. glad I got to see him twice
Carrie is an all-American girl! Now a wife and mother. She's an amazing, genuine person that God has been gracious enough to loan to this world!
Hello 👋 Gina. How are you doing? Hope you're fine. I am Zack Hudson and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem to a real country girl
In my opinion, of all the live performances I've ever seen and heard on television shows, this one is the best.. I was mesmerized the first time I saw them perform it.
She brought this song ❤to the. Top.love this double.
she is a lovely Christian girl, beautiful and talented. She is blessed indeed and she knows it.
I don't believe "she knows" it so much as she is just so good! Not a mean bone in her body! She is blessed by God's love!
@@rhondaboncutter5812 Idk.. I've heard from a few people that had known her to party a lot. One of them even got into an argument with her at one of the parties. Lol
barbaraellen manning149 ....Amen, the Holy Spirit is all over her, with in her, PRAISE God hallelujah"...
I was a server at Maggiano’s and your lovely Christian girl was pounding shots and left a shitty tip ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@katherinestiletto Give me things that never happened for $700. Alex.
The look he gives--- she made him proud.
Omg, this put me in tears! I love how Randy looked at Carrie with such love and pride while singing his part soo beautifully like he doesn't think much of his self even tho he is such a legend!
Randy is in awe of Carrie voice
Y cualquiera lo estaría luego de escucharla sobre todo en esa maravillosa interpretación que hizo del tema how great thou art acompañada de....Vince Gill.
Insuperable actuación
@@edithelizabethmellanunez7396 for sure
Randy loved this duet. His smile says everything
Hello!!! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day… Stay Safe!

Hello Sue how are you doing!!
🙏 Amen
Two great artists. Mutual respect and admiration.
Randy was very proud of Carrie's rendition of this classic.
Carrie is in the legendary lane
Steven Sushi Carrie is a ledge for in her own right
She’s sitting by a legend.
@@missbrooke9458 They both are
If you said that to Carrie, she would say no way. But that is Carrie being humble.
He's passing the torch to her.
When RT smiles during them high notes, its because she's on point and he's in awe.
+Chad Roberts - and shes hot - so he keeps thinking about snow capped mountains - to distract his thought s - lol
The reason, Randy was smiling that big smile. He knows how high Carrie can go. And Carrie can go so high with such ease.
@@row759 schoolchildren
3:18...Randy's smile!!!! You go girl Carrie Underwood!
Both power voices. Randy Travis has such a traditional and unique voice and it is missed
Some people say Carrie stole the spotlight from Randy. Absolutely not true. Randy wanted Carrie to sing most of it. As Carrie later explained Randy wasn't feeling very well and he wanted Carrie to do this performance solo. Carrie simple said you don't perform I don't perform. Which Carrie did most of the song. Randy wants Carrie to take ownership of this song and she won't out of respect for him.
You can tell Randy is sick and still did a great job!!
Carrie Underwood and Randy Travis - still the best song in American Idol :) :) :)
she is literally an angel
hey
👍👍❤❤❤
true dat
🙄
++issalissa
Here was I thinking she's a warm, attractive young woman with a lovely voice who is only figuratively speaking an angel. Now I find out she's not a woman at all but an angel. It's good to get these things straight in my mind.
Still tear up listening to this... incredible singing by both of them❤
Carrie is just fantastic, a true vocal talent. I think Randy's smile says it all.
Yes👌🏻
Hello darllen
It was in this moment that she solidified herself as a country powerhouse. And country music was going to have to get prepared for her to to make some serious waves!! Randy knew she was the real deal during this duet.
Hallelujah, whoever reading this, I pray that God visit your home with healing, blessings and miracles. Amen.💕
THANK YOU, people don't realize how much they need to hear that, I do
Hauntingly beautiful😭🙌❤️
Love them both! Please God bless randy!
jerry tyndall same here Carrie's voice is amazing Randy Travis just has something I dunno what it is but just gets ya everytime
It just breaks my heart that he can no longer speak due to his stroke. We listened to this album so many times. Carrie is an amazing talent.
Hello 👋 Alisa. How are you doing? Hope you're fine. I am Zack Hudson and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem to a real country girl
This is why she won hands down. Her talent was undeniable. Everybody seen it. And now everybody knows it.
Her perfect, extended BELTS ending in perfect, prolonged vibrato kind of send me off.....I'm not her biggest fan - but it's clear why Carrie is a superstar. Even after so much success and rewards - she is still kind of underrated in country music? Because they don't like to go crazy over a "voice" alone and Carrie straddles the line between big hair twang and torn dress rock n roll. That said - Randy Travis' resonant, scratchy, tenor brought the emotion of this duet back down to earth. Carrie's upper harmonies are so pretty. I grew up on American Idol, but not country music. This turned me right out
randys look when he looks at her he knew there was a star being born right b4 his eyez.
She is a beautiful woman and she's beautiful and crazy women that love you David and his family and her husband but she doesn't know anything else for me anymore take a break from me now David you have the pictures to tell me what the problem is not using it but I don't have to be able to do that and he's going through the same things you know it was a good deal of it but it was an amazing thing for you know what to say about this guy but he's gonna get me out of the house with the kids who are in the last year of his family for you David
@@bonitaperkins3282 Not sure what you were saying? So sorry!
@@bonitaperkins3282 What??????
She had already won American idol and risen to the top well before this performance, but her talent is obvious in this video
she already was.....?????
The look on his face. He looks at her like she's the legend and he's the one looking up to her example.
That is because Carrie can get into high range, where he can't. As Randy said this is where this song belongs in the high range, Carrie reaches. He said it was nice hearing in the proper range.
I love Randy Travis!!! I realize that people like me can have no influence on him, or even ever have the chance to talk to him, but I wish that someone who does have that opportunity would reach out to help him with his problems, instead of the dicks in the media stomping him down further every time he makes a mistake. People who drink excessively need us to HELP THEM, NOT PUSH THEM DOWN FURTHER!!!
WE LOVE YOU RANDY!!!
I wish we could get updates on his recovery. Like you ... HELP the man ..don't STOMP the man.
I hope God's healing powers will bring back to his fans..that smile and voice that we all cherish.
I love and miss Randy Travis.
And this song was awesome.

msconniejo65 From Randy Travis to all his friends...April 20, 2015
STORMS OF LIFE...
Hello my friends. It was an amazing gift to feel all of the love from you tonight in Dallas at the Academy of Country Music Awards. It has been a hard fought and miraculous journey since my stroke two years ago, and I have gained a greater understanding of God's grace and how quickly events can change us.
Words can never explain my gratitude to those who continue to believe in me, pray for me, and keep me lifted up in thought and deed. The kind cards and heartfelt letters of testimony and encouragement brought me through the darkest of days. Mary read each and every one of them to me and I felt the love and concern being sent my way; and, I gathered strength from this. None of us are worthy of the immense outpouring of support shown to me and I consider each of my fans, a friend. Thank you from the bottom my heart.
The power of music remains a source of inspiration and healing for me. Writing songs was always a passion of mine and I still have a lot to share with you. It is my prayer that, with continued healing, one day soon, I will be back on that stage exchanging music with my fans...my friends, who with God's amazing grace, have brought me this far. As I work through music/speech/occupational/physical therapy, it is my hope that my songs of yesterday continue to touch your life in some way.
I wish you each-good health, a kind word, a song in your heart, and a friend that has your back through thick and thin.
My gratitude & love, “Forever and Ever, Amen”
Randy Travis
Lorene Ness God Bless You, Randy Travis, and your wife, friends and family. I pray for you everyday that God will restore your health and let you sing again. But if that never happens, the gifts you have given the world already and continue to give us are more than enough. Those of us who love and admire you just want you to get healthy, stronger and enjoy your life. We want God to heal you, and we are so grateful that you are still here with us. The world is a nicer, more meaningful place because of you.
May God bless you, Mary and all of your family. Thank you for your talent and your humanity. Your fan and friend, Gary Silber, Jackson, MS
That was wonderfully said Gary. Thank you!
I never get tired of listening to this Carrie Underwood version ❤️
