I soulfully agree... Although..???🤔🤔🤔 I don't just "think".. I "KNOW" A WORK OF ART WHEN I SEE IT... AND ANYONE WHO IS AS "AUTHENTIC" WITHIN AS WITHOUT IS SIMPLY A "GIFT". SHE DOESN'T HAVE A GIFT.. SHE "IS" A GIFT!! WE "ALL" ARE!! THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT SHE "BELIEVES" THAT... AND MOST OF US ARE STILL LOOKING WITHOUT INSTEAD OF WITHIN TO FIND IT... GOD WILLING, WE EVENTUALLY REALIZE ITS BEEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF US ALL ALONG... ONLY THAN CAN WE SING OUT OUR HEARTS BEAUTIFUL SONG... UNTIL THEN WE "DREAM" AND GET LOST IN ANOTHER'S... "LIVING WITH OUR EYES CLOSED...." SO THIS IS ME JUST "HOPIN": "WE WAKE"!!💞🙏🔥🌈
How does she put so much emotion into her singing? I love Bonnie's. Always. Brandi seems to add a touch of anger to the heartbreak of swallowing what you can't change. Beautiful!
No doubt, life experiences have allowed her to be able to reach down into her soul and let both her and the listener feel the words and grant us all that emotional connection. She is amazing. I hope I get to see her for the first time, during her 2018 Tour.
Pretty hard to top Bonnie Raitt's version, but this comes about as close as anything I've seen. Love the stripped down quality of it with just the acoustic.
It's Bonnie's song but Brandi does a great job. She has also covered several of Joni's songs that she also knocked out of the park. I see it as a wonderful tribute, an homage to the original and also believe this is how these songs live through generations, as a legacy to the giants like Bonnie and Joni. For the record, Brandi is well on her way to joining that pantheon of the best songstresses ever. Sit back and enjoy her work. THat's my advice.
It's just a cover, man. It's not some emotionally fraught homage to the muses of the ages, the eternal musical gods, and all are brought to bask in the mighty light of beauty and art. It's a cover.
@brandicarlile has some of the best vocals in the industry. But more than that, she sounds absolutely flawless live and puts her whole heart into every performance
OMG!!!! This is the first time I"ve heard you sing this cover and I am BLOWN AWAY!!!! I, for one can't believe this is the first time I've heard this version but, just like every other song, I'm BLOWN away!!!!
It's a beautiful night for a kinda sad love song ♥ My heart is feeling all the emotions in Brandi's Sweet voice, always loved this tune but now I love it even more!! Great Cover!!
what ??? I Can't Make You Love Me was written by Mike Reid (an ex-Cincinnati Bengal defensive lineman) & Allen Shamblin .... I absolutely love Prince, but he didn't write this song (he wrote a "blue million" masterpieces, but not this one) .... google it, I did .... (someone else also stated the same song writer as being Mike Reid in a comment above 2 years ago)
That is laughable. This woman is such her own person, she would tear you to pieces. If you think this comment is any kind of clever, then you know absolutely nothing about Brandi Carlisle. Get educated.
@@natemarean8787 I cared enough to say so because what you point out was obvious to me after only a moment. I may not know the words for what I'm looking for but I know it when I see it and she's more even than you describe; I'd bet money on it.
