TRAINWRECKORDS: Faith Hill's "Cry" 

Same here, and I wondered why they were giving me all those math problems.

​@@paytonriley6981you rednecks arent very bright, are you?

This is actually their claim to fame in the alternate universe that also features the Berenstein Bears.

@@drygnfyrewhere Nelson Mandela died in the 80s and no one knows what Barbra Streisand’s house looks like. Wait…

Holy shit

2nd Trainwreckord on here!

what do they do when it rains then?

@@pminko7296 the scales keep the water from sinking in.

​@@LillianWard-mw4qe Do they die?

@@joshuacoleman8000 honestly butterflies only live for about a week on average anyway but if they can’t fly it can lead to them being eaten or stepped on.

@@LillianWard-mw4qe Barn swallows will eat them anyway.

It’s true every retail playlist has all her music

It's so weird to me that people like this call themselves musicians while desperately waiting for other people to write songs for them.

Reddit ass comment

lol I was born in the 90s so I wasn’t familiar with faith hill at all. But now that I’m 30 I listened to this review and I’m like wow that’s all the music I hear at Publix every week.

The only person higher on my personal "singers who have wronged me by way of retail playlists" is Mariah Carey. All I Want For Christmas Is You is the retail playlist equivalent of a war crime and she has to know it.

It was a butthurted response.

@@karlimo4034 No it was s-tier and true.

​@@karlimo4034 considering country is just pop for small town and village people, her response makes total sense.

when i went to the cinema for pearl harbour i left about 30 minutes into the movie and had 3 or 4 pints. by the time i got back there was about another half hour of cr@p to endure before there was any planes on the screen.

In hindsight Pearl Harbor certainly did - if not killed but deffinitely wrecked lots of careers. Michael Bay went from cool action director to worthles hack making nothing but Transformers. Ben Affleck turned in to a joke and Josh Hartnet just dissapeared.

​​@@tukkeKate Beckinsale stayed around the level she belonged, and Cuba Gooding Jr. got fucking Snow Dogs and then disappeared (until some scandal I'm about to google)

@@tukkeaffleck won an Oscar after that movie. And directed two other movies nominated. Bay is still a bankable director who may not be making Oscar worthy movies but his movies make tons. Dude directed Bad Boys 2 right after Pearl Harbor. I wish I could “fall off” like that. You’re living under a rock and got all your opinions from other people obviously because if you actually lived in the last 20 years you’d know neither of those guys fell off lol. Also, Josh Hartnett was hardly on some upward trajectory. He was an actor in like stupid HS movies and stuff. Idk where his career was supposed to go to say it even fell off.

@@makeitthrough_ If you wondered what happened to Cuba Gooding, "Radio" happened. Remember that one part in the movie "Tropic Thunder" where RDJ's character talks about Stiller's character going full r*tard in his "Simple Jack" movie? That movie was his "Simple Jack", followed by him appearing in like half of all the terrible early 2000s lowbrow comedies. His career was nothing but duds until the early to mid-2010s.

Plot twist: Faith was the female singer on "She Keeps Me Up"

Look at this Fffotograph

*The Human League awkwardly shuffles out of the room*

Not Jordan Knight at the start of that NKOTB montage in Todd’s “Give It to You” One-Hit Wonderland video?

Saw your King Crimson cover type in your profile. Makes me want to add Faith to KC "Red" album cover 😆

Did they cry just a little?

How about "Lauryn Hill" sounds like 😄

@@kidwaryodproduction nah she sounds aight

Me too, my cousin. His mom (my aunt) went off on me and the other kids in the family, calling us idiots, and said we'll amount to nothing in public school. Then claimed her son is a genius, and will soar in some expensive Christian private school. What actually happened is that my cousin did so terribly academically, he was held back a year, and expelled 2 months into his second, for a prank. A prank that if he wasn't a minor at the time, would have put him on the sex offender registry.

@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 Haha, I asked because Todd once have Lauryn Hill in Trainwreckords, And now have Faith Hill. So I wondered in the future, Is there any singer with a "Hill" name who would appeared in Trainwreckords. I hope it's not "Hank Hill" 😅

THE MATH DOESN'T LIE, AND IT SPELLS DISASTER FOR TODD IN THE SHADOWS AT THE CMA'S

I literally could taste the raisins when he said that

I'm still very fond of "fitting that this song is about sailors because Stu is incredibly salty" from the CCR video lmao

I know! 11/10 insult, devastating

Yeah she had big songs but somehow no distinct personality

Same. A lot of this video was me going "Ohhh! That was HER!" XD Also, for what it's worth, I remember enjoying "Cry" when I heard it as a kid, but found it all a bit... much? Like, Faith was just pumping the gas a bit too hard on the heart-rending grief, if that makes sense. If she'd pulled back a bit I think the song would be better regarded.

i'm so glad i wasn't the only one 🤣

Her and Sheryl Crow. There's a reason people joke about female pop stars being pretty replaceable because... They kind of are. You don't hear many female popstars with radically distinct voices like AC/DC vs. Metallica, it's usually pretty subtle differences in tone.

@@riverAmazonNZ You know, it's funny, because she even had an image but still no distinct personality.

Weirdly, Wikipedia says this was released in October 2002 but I thought it was a 2003 album as well.

St Anger came out in 03 as well!!

All of them should collaborated and released song called "Cry in American Funstyle"

Oh wow, that's fascinating! I wonder if it's a subconscious/conscious result of them all responding to national trauma. It would make sense!

It was not a good year for pop music. 😬

Kinda too on the nose, but thanks for playing.

replace die with cry for title gag

50 Faith "Get Rich or Die Crying" or "Get Rich or Cry Trying" 😆

Get out.

The German Invasion of Poland: who's gonna tell him? 😂

Them ain’t navy planes!

As if the people watching were going to be like “Oooooh, this is *that* Pearl Harbor.”

That sounds like one of those parody quips that people come up with to make fun of the MCU lmao. That's a "he's right behind me isnt he" tier line

Ha! I love the "truly we are the--" memes. Shame nothing like that is ever said in a real movie with real human actors in it... _(Looks up the pearl harbor "world war 2" quote just to be safe)_ ... *_O H - ! !_*

I had a similar reaction. Then when the video played “This Kiss” I immediately went “THAT WAS HER?!?” Then flashed back as a kid to all the times my mom would play her Dixie Chicks and Amanda Marshal CD’s in the car.

I occasion imagine that Faith Hill was Hank Hill's wife 😅

@@kidwaryodproductionWhoops, my bad. I meant Amanda Marshal. Haha. I’ve corrected it now.

@@tylers1996 No problem, I accidently deleted my previous comment too 😅 Never heard Amanda Marshall too. Any recommendation on her music ?

@@kidwaryodproduction I don't know if anyone else can vouch for these songs but I'd recommend giving "Let It Rain", "Fall From Grace", and "Dark Horse" a listen.

I know. I don’t even like country, but I’ve watched this episode three times today because I love the writing! While he’s inspired, let’s get that Man of the Woods episode!

@@littlekingtrashmouth9219Was thinking more about Wongraven to be honest.

I don't think country fans are necessarily like that, but country radio people are....straight up malevolent sociopaths when it comes to killing the careers of anyone they wake up and decide to hate that day.

liminal rejected works of art

That’s very scary for her I’m glad she recovered

She pops up quite a bit on UK TV now a days too.

Didn't her husband also cheat on her with her best friend and then marry the friend. That would definitely mess with someone

@@annagoethe3941esp since her husband was also her producer and co-writer for all the (successful) music she’d released up to that point

She also did a duet with Orville Peck last year that was pretty good.

Todd nailed it..

It's called standing for what you believe in. Record executives in Nashville seemed ashamed of traditional country music and began producing more commercial-sounding music with "crossover appeal." Many artists who were originally a part of the neotraditional movement in the early to mid 90s were happy to sell out and go pop to advance their careers. Those that remained traditional such as George Strait and Alan Jackson didn't like that the industry had turned its back on traditional country music stalwarts such as George Jones and Merle Haggard. I believe there's a place for all types and variations of music, but it did feel like there was a concerted effort on music row to "kill" traditional country music.

​@@bfsgmanI totally agree!!!

Insert Daily Wire/Fox News/conservatives joke here

@@jesusrox4u DON;T YOU MEAN CNN?!

I find that interesting considering I'd probably consider it reversed. I always thought Faith was a better pure vocalist while Shania was the better all-around entertainer. Like, Faith makes amazing albums, Shania really thrives in live shows. Kind of the country-fried Britney vs. Christina debate.

Choking on chicken, classic.

Reminded me of Justify My Love by Madonna, I'm surprised Todd didn't make that comparison.

​@@judgesaturn507I can see it but wow this was so much more cringe. Madonna said some daft stuff on that, but this was daft line after daft line after daft line, and it's increasing in ridiculousness with each one.

@@faeriegraver I mean we EXPECT Madonna to push the boundary but Faith Hill is not that kind of artist.

I literally buckled over with cringe

That's exactly how I remember Faith Hill. I think she was on People's Most Beautiful people list and wore that same satin number. Oh Faith, pretty but lacking.

It really is a perfect description, especially when compared with Shania whose sexuality & charisma came across so easily. Like, when Shania acted sexy it scared the bejeezus out of the conservative Nashville establishment. When Faith tried to act sexy, it was like your mom after a few too many glasses of Pinot Grigio

@@mavhimself 🤣

80s: ADULT CONTEMPORARY 90s: SOFT FOCUS SEXUALITY -It just rolls off the tongue!

It's like the reverse approach to Janet Jackson's solo career.

Pretty sure Annie Roboff wrote that, not Faith. (IIRC, Annie Roboff also wrote the current iteration of the ESPN SportsCenter theme)

_"It's _*_centrifugal_*_ motion..."_ actually.

Good point :)

@@TimmyTickle Annie Roboff wrote it, but Faith Hill pulled it off.

@@TimmyTickle funny enough, I looked into it: Faith wrote hardly any of her songs, let alone her hits. She has a couple songwriting credits on one of her early albums, but not many. That comment she had about Bekka Bramlett writing a song for her on the new album, you know who she didn't say wrote a song for her on the new album? Herself.

He had us in the first three-quarters, not gonna lie.

Yeah c’mon I’ve watched Todd long enough to know what was coming.

He got me too. "Is he doing a bit? He's doing a bit. IS he doing a bit? Oh wow, I guess he's not - OH GOD DAMN IT."

Glad that wasn’t just me. He subverted my expectations by making me think he wasn’t subverting my expectations. It broke new ground!

@@natmorse-noland9133 Actual transcription of my thought process

Oddly that makes sense

I was in 6th grade, at lunch the principal came in to tell us about a plane crash in New York City. Didn't think much about it until I got home...

I was in high school, and I was so used to my comfortable '90s upbringing that I don't think it completely sunk in for me until a few weeks later, when it was _still_ all over the news and we had troops going to Afghanistan - "Oh... this is just what life is now, huh?"

@@juliagoodwin9510I was in the 4th grade in NYC about a mile away from the incident. Surreal fits the description. Ironically in a few hours I’ll be explaining that day to a group of middle school children.

I remember being told about what happened in school and just thinking the image of a building coming down was cool.

Yep; it also explains why rap music all of sudden started swarming the charts from 1991 onwards

like if Aphrodite was your mom in a slinky satin dress

Reminds me of VH1's Behind the Music (and that's not a bad thing).

Not to mention that Faith Hill trying to be Celine Dion was already redundant considering that there already was a woman already regarded as a country music version of Celine Dion, which was Martina McBride.

and she's right next to Faith on the charts at 14:03

It's a song I listened to nonstop after my first high school breakup. That's the vibe

Damn.

And now you know why: 2003 was last time she released an album (At least, according to this video)😅

@@flaminghead1va *2005

Her last album was released in 2017 ^^

I literally heard "This Kiss" being played in a drugstore the day before this video came out. so I think the songs are still around, even if they're less common

I do! At least once a day I hear "Breathe" and "Cry."

I thought the twist was going to be that it was only on a companion soundtrack.

yeah that was so damn weird

@@RhythmGameAddict Music From and Inspired By _Lilo and Stitch_ 😆

The fact that it didn't chart well in Japan, a nation whose favorite Disney property is STILL Lilo and Stitch, says a lot too.

same.

Imho THE best...

truth todd is too good to us.

Yep.

I really want a Queen or Bowie or Daft Punk trainrecords, Maybe on Hot Space, Tonight or Human after all

Todd is one of the few RU-vidrs where, as soon as I see he's uploaded a new video, I will always drop whatever I'm doing and watch it.

Dang it Bobby

And cover "The Hills" by the Weeknd and "Run to the Hills" by Iron Maiden.

lol Lauryn Hill would probably have an anxiety attack, having to work with a white person 😂

This video is the first time I heard the name tbh

@@PrincessNinja007well she has a very interesting history in RnB and went largely uncredited for her vocals and songwriting being used in Jlo songs so you've probably heard of her work at some point without knowing her name. I don't wish to overly sensitive but it's kinda sad her work is reduced to a quick youtube joke but I guess thats life, hard work no one appreciates except those who value it.

I first heard about her in a video series by Anthony Fantano where he ranked the top-10 year end songs of the Billboard Hot 100

I've learned I'm one of five white people who knows who Ashanti is. Short memories.

​@@liamannegarner8083I guess I'm in that group of us too. I loved Ashanti growing up. "Ashanti" was one of the first non-boyband pop that I had my mom buy me lol.

This was iconic. 💀😂

I would've thought she was joking

I didn't know reba had a comedy show

@@ajpoopfucker I used to Watch that show on FoX, it was ok

dupe comment

I looked it up and there is in fact a Christian private school with that name

I first heard of Faith Hill in the late 90s when "This Kiss" was her big song. I just assumed it was the name of a band and not a person.

"Faith Hill Mall" also seems plausible.

Pretty sure it's not even her real name

@@TimmyTickle it’s not. Her real name is Audrey Faith McGraw.

I wish her to scream "Yeah" like Kurt Angle 😆

Also, I'm pretty sure he did that because, as he said on Twitter in 2020 (may have been deleted?), "every cell in my body hates it so much that I could not even remotely analyze it even if I was to willingly subject myself to it. There is no other song this is true of."

24:11 😂

I can't unsee it. Thanks

Have been watching that show recently and immediately thought this haha.

They do look similar

That funky song makes me think “I’m drinking Chardonnay and I’m gonna get the house in the divorce” vibes

That's funny because her actress in real life is *extremely* energetic and manic

What is the context for this almost-anecdote?

I think Todd was right when he said that that was just a cover for what they really wanted to say, which is that the album just straight-up sucks (which it does). Obviously they don't care about the crap they play being remotely country since they've spent the last decade playing, to quote Steve Earle, "hip-hop for people who are afraid of black people."

I'm desperately chomping at the bit for that The Big Day video. This record was born to be the greatest trainwreckords video of all time

Guns and Roses still burns me after all these years!!!! RAWR! Glad it’s not just me! We didn’t have the internet back then (like now!) to discuss it BUT GODDAMN. WHAT A FUCKING LETDOWN. DAMN YOU AXL!

I would call “Ooh Yeah” the Trainwreckord for Hall and Oates. I would also add Slang by Def Leppard to the list.

Chinese Democracy is not bad

I would like to add "UNO! DOS! TRE!" by Green Day to the mix :D

from 9/11 to 10/10, both total 20

Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Dolly...the Bro Eras happen but there has always been a place for women in country. At the top.

Yeah man, what's going on?

I fooking hate that song!

@@kylock don't we all

*She's still around?*

@@cdvideodump She clearly has a large enough fan base of people with no taste that lap her up.

​@@blakecasimir I think it's mostly that she had a song that was popular on TikTok. I certainly never hear anyone mention anything else she's released these days.

god saw you, and punched you in the jaw

The fact that Meghan Trainor is literally mother right now

Celine is more...Quebecois. Shania doesn't care about Canada. At all.

@@AlekWheeler True lmfaoo i sometimes forget shania is even canadian, she set her sights on nashville and never looked back.

I believe that he'll finally review the album

Did the era already end? Wow

Should be a point/counterpoint with Britney Jean.

@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 a trainwreckord deathmatch

Oh, there's an album that I haven't thought about in a long time. I remember joking with people about dropping Justin in the wilderness like Survivorman and seeing if he could start a fire, even with a Bic lighter. I imagined him trying to light a gigantic log, probably still freshly-cut and sappy. I know he's from Memphis, but that doesn't mean anything when you grew up on Star Search and The Disney Channel.

This is news to me lol 😂

I think I remember that

“You don’t just grab someone’s husband’s…BALLS!” 🤣🤣🤣 the way she briefly hesitated to say it

Again, When did this happened?

@@josephtafur Concert special… I think.

I was about to say this same thing. I saw Angie perform it live with just him and an acoustic guitar in 1999 and he pulled off every bit of the emotion. He said it was about his ex-wife and their kid

@@FiddleOfGold yeah, I saw him do it live about 5 years ago in Nashville, and it brought the house down. It might be the single most powerful vocal performance I have ever witnessed.

Yeah. Angie is an amazing song writer and pulls it off.

Yeah I was just thinking the song actually is pretty good and maybe it was just sang wrong

I looked up his performances and yeah. Faith’s version feels sterile, and his version really does sell it.

The weird thing is American Idol is still on, even though I had a Mandela effect that it was canceled over a decade ago. I mean, what even is the point anymore? Do the winners even make noise anymore? Even as early as the third or fourth season of Idol, it was clear the vast majority would never really do much.

It endures in every supermarket you go to in Florida.

@@Lightspeedsthat’s not even a lie

It's subliminal, it's criminal. It's centrifugal motion, it's perpetual bliss. That's some fire songwriting for a country pop song.

It's da da da da. It's da da da. Ah bliminal. This kiss this kiss 😂

I only know the "This kiss/this kiss" part so it's a weapons-grade earworm for me. Same 2 lines ad infinitum.

They're always like "this is the real me!" and it's just the kind of music they like listening to, not stuff they have any competence making.

Yeah, this Trainwreckord seems like a slightly less abrupt version of what Jewel would do just a year later. In fact, this even reminds me a bit of the MC Hammer Trainwreckord. All three cases are artists trying to do things they're not well suited for. Although I will say in Hill's defense, I really don't think this album is that bad. It doesn't even seem like a massive genre shift.

@@drygnfyreI’d say if it were made 5-10 years ago, it would’ve been right on time and maybe she’d get that Celine Dion runoff money she was looking for. Meanwhile, country music programming directors would have no choice but to play her, as market would dictate.

A lot artists really want to be known for having artistic range, but realistically most of them are lucky enough to be good at one thing.... And if they stray from that the results are mediocre at best.

@@ryanjacobson2508 you said everything I wanted to say in such a concise form.

That's a way to put it

She has the presence of a prom queen--beauty pageant winner--entitled trophy wife who rode through life on the smoke blown up her ass.

Celine is like a High Elf! Mystical.

Lol yeah

Did one segment of this video remind you of a certain segment in another video, Sean? It certainly did for me.

She walks out in a bathrobe like Ferris Bueller: "You're still here? It's over! Go home!"

I'm from the UK too and don't know a lot about her [or the USA country music scene] so the intro was very useful. I found a cassette of her's in my parents loft years ago but I can't remember them ever playing it!

In hindsight, Faith Hill was like the proto-Taylor Swift. Start in country, branch out into pop. It didn't work for Hill, but I think it might have worked for Swift, I'm not sure.

@@drygnfyre Yeah i think it may have worked for Swift, i'll have to look at recent charts to be sure of it though.

@@cityboy2092 Unfortunately Faith's legacy is non-existent because her music and overall vibe were incredibly boring, there was no edge to her songs or stage presence whatsoever, there was nothing unique about her. She sold a lot of records but it almost feel like most people didn't really care about her as an overall artist. I also hope she's doing well, she seems to be a relatively nice person.

@@drygnfyre Unlike Hill, Swift had some shooters to keep the Nashville syndicate from screwing her over.

😂🤣😂Although, tbf, I hardly heard any country in Swift's music when it was supposedly country. Still a great comment, though.

​@@TroubleToby3040"Our Song" doesn't sound country to you? With all that banjo and fiddle?

T Swift scares me.

@@pinkcupcake4717>:)

I feel like they never got as outraged at Carrie Underwood. And even though they tried to get mad at Taylor for abandoning country, her fanbase was big enough (and young enough) not to be swayed by the country establishment.

Yeah, Celine always had a lot of stage presence, which is why her vibe worked so well. Faith on the other hand, while she had a great voice, she wasn't really charismatic as a performer, i feel like you have to be a big fan of her to truly enjoy her performances.

As a Celine Dion fan, the reason she turn that song down was that she was still on her 2 year hiatus from music.

​@josephtafur and she had just become a mother.

@@JBiggsofWSNC Yep, That too

Good on Celine. The track really was an inferior “My Heart Will Go On”. I hated it from the word Go.

Not the only time Faith Hill has taken up a movie soundtrack song to replace a pop singer. "Where Are You Christmas?" off the 2000 How The Grinch Stole Christmas movie, was written and originally supposed to be performed by Mariah Carey, but Faith Hill ended up performing it instead.

I live in Nashville, and if you go back 100 to the very earliest country recordings, it's not about what's the best, it's what appeals to the guy lifting heavy things. Music Row is trying to appeal to the guy lifting heavy things, and "quality" has never been high on that guy's list of priorities.

tbf she’s also got an album filler song called Cry that’s kind of the same lmao

@@razrv3lc And it's actually one of her best songs.

@@RyanStorey1231 yeah Kelly’s Cry is definitely a better song than the one in this video for sure at least lol

Nothing slappy about that track. 👎

@@Brendan-Blackyikes, not liking “this kiss” 😬

Yes. “This Kiss” and “Breathe” are both legit pop-country gems.

I loathe that song, and I will never be able to really articulate why

And you still don’t like country at all because “This Kiss” isn’t country.

Lilo and Stitch is one of my favorite Disney movies ever, so when Todd said she had a song on the soundtrack, I was immediately like “Tf? How’d I miss that?” The reveal that it was Japan-only felt like a baseball bat to the head.

Man she is everywhere in New Zealand you can't go on a road trip without at least one of her songs playing but weirdly enough I also hadn't had a clue who she was until this video

“Come inside my walls of Ecstasy”

well, xtina also has a trainwreckord under her belt (2010's bionic) that we need to talk about. and this time, she tried to go full lady gaga.

LeAnne almost had the Taylor Swift career. I am old enough to remember that one. She tore out the gate as a twelve year old girl with ridiculously huge hits that really were throwbacks to a much earlier era. Blue was a song that went back to 1966, which is even just before Outlaw Country took hold. Unchained Melody was a hit all up and down in the 1960s, most famously sung by the Righteous Brothers. She seemed to think she could eventually use her powerful voice to cross over, but the twang is something she just could not get out of the way. She never worked in pop because the male fanbase who had a massive crush on her never wanted a pop LeAnn, and she never had the following of girls because her early stuff appealed to the more traditional country crowd, not the starry-eyed thirteen year old girls that Taylor Swift immediately established as her base of fans. LeAnn really has no interest in Nashville anymore and her politics are far closer to the Dixie Chicks than Carrie Underwood.

@@sirgemini5743, Bionic didn’t end her career though.

@@briangronberg6507 well, i'm sure it ended her peak and that's what the series is also about. similar to madonna with american life, katy perry with witness and metallica with st. anger, they kept on trucking but weren't as big and charmful as they were on their peak before those disasters.
