Can a Country Expert Make Me Like Country? 

underrated comment

Can’t get this out of my mind lol

That’s kind of what genre’s are tho. They can be grouped together cause they’re very similar. I don’t particularly like pop but it’s probably one of the most diverse genres

@@annalivingtv r/whoosh

@@annalivingtv I think that’s just because of how large the pop genre is

Deserves better then 8/10 damnit lol

IKR

Yeah, like his music isn’t really my thing, but I can totally respect him and acknowledge that he’s a good country artist

Saiyan Underdog i hate Chris Stapletons songs and voice i guess it possible

@@Stevearonisoup13 everyone's got a right to their own taste in music. Is there something in paticular that puts you off of his voice? Just curious.

THAT SONG IS SO GOOOOODDDD

I'm from deep Georgia, and I pointedly dislike this song, but darn if it doesn't force itself from my vocal cords everytime I hear it

@@michealthekaminoshinagami54 😂😂😂

I agree

Right?! Dan + Shay are BARELY country

90% of the songs on this list aren’t even country and the fact she said JOHN PARDI is as country as country gets and didn’t even bring up artist like Blake Shelton, Zach Brown Band, Alan Jackson, etc. Like if you’re trying to win him over give him songs with rlly good stories behind them like gods country or ol’ red

@@paytonremington2484 The only really "country" artist in that list was Chris Stapleton.

Honestly like we’re is George strait

She is very pretty

He’s desperate for a woman.

@Lizzie ت 9:53 it's Karen Fairchild

@Lizzie ت Opinions, everyone has one

@@pikach1338 I'm Ravenclaw too! And yes he is, there have been "petitions" before for Joel to use dating apps and such

Davie504 would be so sad 😭

well any way hes gonna cheat rommie after buying bass from his money so its mutual respect

And with country have aguitar Davie always says : "guitar=bad"

@@dummdumm2679 And snap tracks and drum loops, and not actually country songs..... List goes on....

To be fair though, they aren't that similar. They have somewhat similar sound in a FEW songs (the popular ones) but Rascal Flatts is far more country sounding compared to Dan + Shay in my opinion

@@DeixisDawnbringer I agree totally. I've heard alot of their more popular songs from my classmates who play them, but some songs are more pop than country!

dont worry, dan + and shay could never be Rascal Flatts... there will only ever be one

I was raised on Rascal Flatts! Nothing will ever come close to them in my mind.

@@DeixisDawnbringer that's because you were raised on Rascal Flatts. Dan + Shay SOUND a lot like Rascal Flatts; that's not commentary on either's talent or legitimacy.

I know that is a bit sus if he said he was I would have to call him the imposter

Blue sus

so true

now we don’t have to vote him out

Heheheheeeeeeee

lmao-

@@sri-xn4hb more like Yeeeheeheeehaw

Does rdr2 music count as country? Cause if so then damn,I'm a country music fan

Benjamin Barrientos Dude, same.

The should have sent all Tim McGraw

Three tracks country music fans love: Alison Krauss - When You Say Nothing At All Randy Travis - Forever and Ever Amen Shania Twain - Still the One

Lmao, like, the highwaymen, AJ, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Hank Jr, even Luke Combs.

There's no Johnny Cash, George Strait,Kris Kristofferson, Hank Williams,Chris LeDoux. Only modern "country" pop

@@fedezzefelbudapestet6493 Chris Stapleton was the only one that belonged there. They didn't put a SINGLE George Strait song. The King of Country didn't even make it into these trash songs.

I was literally about to comment on the lack of Tyler Childers on this list, Christ Stapleton was the only artist on this list that I could get behind.

more importantly... NO MORGAN WALLEN

Yup I personally am more of a old and rock cuntry

@@bryanb4869 then you’d love Tyler Childers, Benjamin Tod, Turnpike Troubadours, and Arlo McKinley

I despise country, Tyler Childers proved I just hadn't looked closely enough, turns out I despise pop country, just as despise pop in nearly all categories. Tyler Childers should cross everyone's ears at least once.

Haha

It's true though .....

Hahahahahha

It's YOU

*Adam Neely and Charles Cornell enter the chat playing the lick*

Dude why are you everywhere i cant believe it.

well I think originally it was background music

I think John Denver is technically folk.

“Pop Country”

This is country radio for sure, not Texas/red dirt/folk/americana/anything that's real true country

Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, George Jones... That's country for me

John denver isn’t country he’s contemporary

Whiskey Myers is a great one! Sturgill Simpson, Flatland Cavalry, those guys.

YAAAA I AGREE MY DAD and ME USED TO ALWAYS WATCH IT IT MY CHILDHOOD

Yea this was all just pop country

I was so happy to see Whiskey Myers in the comments since the first one was pop

Or Tyler Childers

Agree

I kinda wish you used a different word but I agree

@@jisumaki shit

OwenF hahahahaha

Why no responds

I was very distracted by the awful shirt and hat the whole time. I get what he was going for... but no.

My god

My brother used to play that Sam Hunt song over and over and I knew every single word even though I don't like or listen to country

Me: Metalhead. Sam Hunt still stinks.

@@natashka1982 Very much this.

I'm not a huge country fan but listen to the devil wears a suit and tie by colter wall

Good

They would’ve been better to give the one without JT imo. JT kind of took Chris Stapleton down a couple notches

The thing is no one gets 10 😔

Waylon Jennings

How about the kings of Country Jonny Cash and Slim Dusty the 2 best country singers of all time alongside Walen Jennings or maybe even the Queen of Country Dolly Parton

Yeah 10/10 Chris just gives ya chills man

@@donovanreed3430 Chris will always be 10/10

Chris will forever be 10/10 agreed & I was literally angry that he had NO CLUE who he was ?!?!?!

Disagree, Chris is, 10/10, 15/10, a million/10, he needs to listen more! Chris is amazing!!!

He even listened to him Live and gave him an 8/10... what the hell man? Chris Stapleton Live is transcendent. Maybe some "I Was Wrong" or "Sometimes I Cry" live would change his mind a bit?

You're honestly really right. My dad absolutely loves country... but not this stuff. Most of what we have today is, not to be mean but, what I like to call "rich-boy washed". Meaning every song is about, I got my heart broke, My truck, My beer, God, etc. and it comes from people that don't even live a country lifestyle. Like they live in LA and haven't worked a day of farm work in their life. There isn't anything wrong with that life... but to write a song about truck and working in your boots, when your boots cost $600... They just don't have much actual meaning anymore. Yeah music doesn't HAVE to have deeper meaning, but when a whole genre gets swept into "I exists for novelty and money"... it just doesnt feel good anymore. So as much as I enjoy modern country (last 10 years), My favorites will always be before 2012.

Berlin Great minds think alike 👌🏻

yeeeeeeeeees omg joel make it happen

COTTEN EYED JOEL AVSHEHIWW

Hmmmmm... Cotton eyed JOEL! Lol thx for thinking alike to me Berner woof woof, I'm being very bored

Agreed. There's so much variety, and classic country is a ton better imo.

Thank you! The second he started with Dan and Shay I was like, "Noooooooo!"

Nashville Pop it's a better definition for this

@@Symphonicrockfran That's a great way to describe this

I think they are trying to choose music they think Joel will like. If he doesn't like country they're not gonna play old extremely country songs

Oh yeah I don't really listen to country but "Country Roads" is definitely one of my favorite songs. P.s. Every John Denver song is good❤

Country roads are more like folk music

Blue Ridge Mountain, Shenandoah River.

I only like that song because of world scout jamboree

@@Youdontneedtoknowwhy I always wanted to go to one of those when I was in Scouts.

and Stapleton turned it to a blues song

Also from Oklahoma. This guy needs to check out Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire. Or also what us Oklahoman's listen to. Red dirt.

I was thinking the same thing

Loretta Lynn Hank and Waylon

Or fuck, the Kings of country music? Hank Sr. And George Jones? Or Tammy Wynette? Anyone who actually has talent. Dwight Yoakam, David Allen Coe?

Dolly Parton ♥️

Alt country fan here, Zach Bryan, Aaron Watson, Parker McCollum, Turnpike Troubadours, and Orville Peck would've been awesome

Maybe even some Florida Georgia Line, or like... GARTH BROOKS, where on earth did she get this list!?

To add to that, like Blake Shelton, but no, Roomie reacts to songs no one has ever heard.

Some of these songs were just pop songs with hardly any country songs

There's very little true country now days. Nick13 who used to be a punk artist has a song called nighttime sky that's more country then most country now days which says something.

I can sense the country vibes from Chris, love it.

I was thinking the whole time, since when has country become pop?

@@Downloadguy1995 Country has been pop since, shit, at least 10 years ago now

Pascal Russ since the 90's it's been pop music . And original country is bluegrass and folk

Or Blown Away

Most of her older music is so much better than her new stuff, but I’m pretty sure she used to write her own lyrics and doesn’t anymore, right?

Hard to go wrong with Carrie tbh

I want to see him listen to The Champion just for the LOLs, but I agree there are so many better Carrie Underwood songs.

Yesss

@@cordelwalker4459 Tennessee whiskey is a country song though?

Ty

She legit had 3 country singers the “expert” needs to go back and learn real country

@Inksday it's actually considered country rock and country blues rock.

I love country but over half of these are trash

sad sad sad

sad sad sad sad

sad sad sad sad sad

sad sad sad sad sad sad

Sad sad sad sad sad sad

Michael Womack I said the same thing. Honestly some newer artists like Colter Wall, Nick Shoulders, Charlie Crockett, Orville Peck, Garrett Owen, Shawn James, The Dead South would be really good to react to as well

Yeah add some tyler childers and you're list is perfect

They are trying to get at modern country not classic country, which is why they don't have those artists

Yeah as much of a pop person I am, I still have a soft spot for George Strait’s early stuff.

@@5tig_ its not modern its pop chris and jamey is the real modern

The thing I did think listening to that song was "this sounds more like what I consider to be electric blues than country" but I guess it's in the overlap

I agree

@J T As a big Chris Stapleton fan, I sort of disagree. I mean, yes, he's a multi-talented blues singer (singer in general), but I don't think he "happens to cross over" to country. In my opinion, he is a full fledged country artist. His music is almost exclusively played on country radio. He has written numerous songs for other country artists. His voice easily lends itself to almost any genre, if done right (like Say Something with Justin Timberlake), but country music is home for him. His wife, Morgane, has a beautiful voice and sounds fantastic with his voice. If Joel doesn't take a deep dive into Chris Stapleton's music, he is missing out because he is other worldly. I've seen him live and I was in a freakin trance the entire time..so good! Also, the song Cold has been on repeat in my house since it was released!

Bruh he basically rose to fame twice and the first time around was with a Bluegrass group called the Steeldrivers. Bluegrass is about as country as it gets. Banjo, mandolin, fiddle and all.

Sounds epic

I would think 6 is enough since he said he hated the genre(or at least, one of the least favorites). So getting him to give a 6/10 on a music genre he doesn't enjoy would be fair. Like I wouldn't give a 6 to a metal song no matter how good it is. Stuff like that. Plus 6 times 8 is 48 so he would also have to suffer.

Aldric Valentine I think 6 would normally work, but my logic is that roomie’s too nice.

@@davoman9118 Oh yeah. I see your point

Also, since she is providing "the best country music she can think of" to evaluate his views on all of country music, the line for judging whether he "likes" the music should have been at a higher threshold, because all that was proven was that he can tolerate the best of country not that he actually likes country. The score should have had to be higher in order to properly take this into account.

BREAKING NEWS People have different tastes.

@@therandomname69420 I’m aware 😂 good jab btw

old country

@@hankwoods2448 fair point, however some Kane brown and other new stuff isn’t bad but old country always reigns supreme

@@javidfarr556 there are some catchy songs but nothing lyrically impressive

For real, like Luke combs, Morgan wallen, Thomas Rhett, luke Bryan

@@popperpenguin3183 I was really hoping for Luke combs and Luke Bryan idk how they weren’t in this list

@@popperpenguin3183 and for female Ashley Mcbryde.

@@joemicer4816 and Shania Twain ❤️

better not show davie504 this video

So 25 seconds he’s not a simp

keyword: straight

Cookie1256 YES

I mean there's at least 9 minutes where female vocals aren't even in the video

NONE of them were real country singers except for Chris and......maayyybee Carrie

I LOVE ACTUAL country music and I also like hip hop,pop, jazz, and a little bit of rap but DEFINITELY NOT rock. I LOVE ELVIS PRESLEY!!!!!

Maybe new country would be considered acousticpop , older country, red dirt country, and outlaw country.

Incredibly true it still sounds way too pop, he should've listen to colter wall and maybe hank 3 even though he hasn't released an album since 2013 (even though the record company "curb" that he left in 2010 has released some of his older unreleased songs without his permission since then) so I don't know if he's still considered modern

And he best music pulls from the blues and soul

Cris Stapleton is overrated. Change my mind

@@josephwebb5663 no

@@josephwebb5663 the way most think of chris is how I think of Jamie Johnson. Tennessee whiskey is an old song and sung with blues in mind. He has the voice for the song and I'd love to change your mind but I don't think I could

YAS I AGREE

Honestly I was dying a bit from these song selections besides Chris

I mean at least there was no Luke Bryan or Florida Georgia line.

@@justsamoo3480 could you imagine "Country Girl Shake for Me" in this list

@@bethanylavallee3709 or knockin boots.

Yoda Man my favourite country song is “he stopped loving her today” by George Jones

Im glad to see someone in this comment field who isn't saying that "Taylor Swift is country!!" Good on you, Yoda Man!

I’m disappointed that the person who emailed Joel didn’t put any Garth Brooks on the list. All country haters I’ve met have even said they like a few of his songs, and he’s like the peak of country music.

raishea 24 well if we are gonna be fair. Joel did not make the list. Someone esle made it for him. He just listened to what someone else picked

taigatan yeah I know. But if the person who said they’ve worked with country music for a long time didn’t include any good country artists than maybe they shouldn’t have that job

Considering she was trying to find country songs that would appeal to Joel, it makes sense that she wouldn't pick Luke Combs. Also his only good song is When It Rains It Pours.

I mean Morgan Wallen somehow wasn’t on this list as well. I’d also love to see Colter Wall or Tyler Childers here.

well its her opinion

@@Biippa When It Rains It Pours isn't Luke's best song. There are so many song from him that are good or even better. Don't Tempt Me, Beer Never Broke My Heart and The Kind Of Love We Make. Each album is good. I think my favorite one is Middle Of Somewhere.

Jon Pardi, Chris Stapleton, Cody Jinks, Colter Wall. Just a few that are still doin it right.

Add some Reba and Randy Travis

I have to say i agree, there arent many current "country" songs that are ACTUALLY country anymore.

Even earlier than that, Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Marty Robbins, none of them?

@@davarrashayde There are actually a lot, just not as popular as the pop country type stuff so they don't get the radio time or publicity. Music trends just like anything other type of trend change with time. It'd be like saying rock now a days isn't rock when compared to classic rock or comparing current pop songs to things from the 90s. Even when you look at say country music from the 50s for instance and compare that to 90s it's completely different sounds, so why is that all considered country, but not current hits?

Yeah

I've listened to every old country and new country song and I have not heard a single Yee haa

Or maybe a string instrument?!

I literally wrote the same thing. That would be my list Avenged Sevenfold: The Stage Meshuggah, Bleed Jinjer, Pisces Metallica, Master of puppets Periphery, Mariegold Arch Enemy, War Eternal Slipknot, All out life Behemoth, O father o Satan o sun

I think it would be cool if he listened to some metalcore like bring me the horizon(sempiturnal,that’s the spirit) and other metalcore bands like maybe some recent falling in reverse

But yeah really heavy metal would also be interesting lol
