Ironically, for me the first thing that comes to mind when I watch this, is the Reba show. I just think about the "Pageant of Grandmas" episode, and hear Van saying Reba could be an American Flag............lol. Although I'm not sure why people have a problem with her singing "Fancy". This was suppose to also celebrate Reba's career, so of course she would sing it. Who knows, maybe they asked her to. It's a great performance, by a classy lady. A true legend.
REBA was amazing! She nailed Fancy as usually that performace was just Fabulous! I am so glad she recieved that award and I can't think of anyone more deserving. Reba is truely lives up to her name of the Queen of Country Music! :)
She is amazing. But seems like that crowd didn’t even know the words. Cut to crowd, and cut again and still. No one knew the words. Just arm waving. Smh. And that punch bowl. Smh. 🧐
@adesomer I think it's extremely likely that Reba was asked to sing a couple of songs from her catalog in recognition of the award she was getting. Naturally, she chose her biggest chart hit (Consider Me Gone) and signature song (Fancy). If you look around, you will find that there is a second part to this in which she leads the crowd in singing America The Beautiful and God Bless America as the fireworks start. Perhaps you should do your homework before popping off.
@adesomer This particular moment in the program was meant to celebrate Reba's career as much as it was to segue into the fireworks. Naturally, she was asked to sing a couple of her songs. Frankly, I don't know what other song would be more appropriate to sing in recognition of her musical career. Fancy is definitely what you would term her "career" song. As such, it was most appropriate and it was silly of you to say otherwise.
Thankyou so very much for this. Shame Reba had to shorten her songs but wonderful just the same. I love how she got all choked up getting the award. Classy Lady.
@CountryCollection87 Thank you so much for the intelligent and respectful way you replied. I appreciate that very much. I see from where you are coming...but I think there are a great many songs that would share that very sentiment much better than a song about a mother whoring out her daughter. I don't mind it being sung at any other time...but I think it just wasn't an appropriate venue...we are being watched by other nations, and closely. Is this what we want to share??
@RainbowReba I never said she couldn't. I just said it was inappropriate for that forum...but I"m ever so grateful for this video so I could share all my thoughts and feelings with facebook. ;) TACKY, that's what it was....tacky.
REALLY??? Fancy??? To celebrate the independence of our nation?? Very disappointing that it was allowed on the program. I love her as an artist, but singing fancy was deplorable, tacky and in all around bad taste!!
has to be negativity everywhere doesn’t there? why can’t you people just keep your thoughts to yourself? if you don’t have anything good to say , don’t say anything at all!! you don’t like it or approve of it , then move on, i can think of a shitload of other inappropriate crap that occurs daily in this country , thus is not even a dishonorable mention
