Why Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs Won the Grammys, with Megyn Kelly and Sage Steele 

So right.

Plus she’s a lesbian and many of them are not into that anyway 😅

So true. I hate the way singers are now

You don’t to show you’re talent with T & A & safety pins - Tracy was the best thing on the show - she was just real & didn’t need anything else & I admire that!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Well said!!!

I honestly thought it was super corny. It seemed so forced and uncomfortable. Plus they had them standing like they were social distancing. It just seemed so weird.

@@chrisgullett4332 we can agree to disagree . To me it was the ONLY **real** thing in the Grammys. 🥰

@@rosemaryalles6043 It was literally the fakest thing. Again, it came off as super weird. There were literally production members that were calling him racist for covering her song, calling it racist that his cover went number one and her original version did not, so it is easy to understand why it came off as weird. To me and yes lots of others it came off as corny, and uncomfortable to watch. I am a fan of Tracy, but his duet was comical.

@@chrisgullett4332 Not to me it wasn't - it was American, beautiful and a moment. Millions of others felt the same. We need many more millions of moments like this one. Healing moments. So, let's agree to disagree. Also, not everything is about race - I think we can agree on that. We are human before we are white, black or brown. You didn't like it. I did. Have a good one.

Proving kids today were not raised proper. This song should be known....next you will tell me you haven't heard the song Eyes of the World

​@@JustOneOpinion- Tracy Chapman's body of work should be known. Period.

and I'm sure TRACY is smiling all the way back to the bank...again!!

@@JustOneOpinion never heard of it...🤣

I was so happy to see Tracy Chapman but I'm wondering what happened to her career it seems like she just had a one hit wonder which is so unfair she is amazing😊❤

I was sold on him when he didn't even change the gender of the protagonist like most male singers would do with a song written by a woman. Real class. He clearly reveres Tracy.

...or because he is 33.

luke was honored. get it right. she has 3 grammys for that song

@@edwardwhite221 I think the poster was meaning that; Luke Honored Tracy through how he Cut/Released the song..... Cause he didn't change anything about it..... And I do agree that Luke felt honored to perform it with Tracy.....

I agree it was awesome. Go watch Chris and Morgan Stapleton bringing Patty loveless on stage with them, both Chris and Morgan look at Patty that way, just total admiration

& the way he was singing along with her when it wasn't his part 😊

@@garysu1884 👍👍👍👍👍

I hate it. These American liberals are crazy!

Yes it is considering the music industry (not the Grammys) screwed her around back then.

Thank you for pointing out the truth….

I saw somewhere that she has made something like an addition $500,000 off of rotlyalties from that song since he launched it back to #1

Amen... The government and the media fuels all this. The only way to destroy America is from the inside, if they keep us fighting and hating one another we are to busy to see what they are doing. Divide and conquer we need to remember the government is supposed to work for us not the other way around, we are all in this together and if we don't come together and remember that this country won't be great for much longer

Their agreement was he couldn’t change any words! So he had to sing it exactly as it was

He did it in the Grammy's presentatiion as well. In that interleaving with Tracy, the "check-out girl" part was sung by him.

​@@salmaapatelhonestly, I don't brlieve he would change this part of lyrics if he could.

You're dead right @frank... I'm here in Australia pretty much in tears watching a magnificent memory of the year my son was born. I can't believe how great Tracy still sings and plays. As for Luke, man he sang with her like he was Tracy's right arm. Absolutely backed her up in the true version of "Fast Car". No fancy-nancy backing vocals. Just sing'n!

That's a great example. People focus on stupid things instead of something that brings people together.

I can’t recall anyone thinking that Whitney Houston singing that song was a slight to Dolly! She made the song perfect. She probably ruined it for anyone else daring to sing it! Whitney had the best voice ever! Today everything is turned into a political agenda!

Yes , I loved Whitney version better tho I adore Dolly .

@@jaylenjackson69 who is perfect, so what if she had a stumbling block. She was talented singer , song writer. , actress and a good person who did good things for people she loved.

No, she didn’t take it. Dolly got paid. There’s a huge difference. Kind of like Kanye has to paying for the rest of his life. You don’t just rip off a song and not get paid. There is an agreement there with money

Yes !! And they should get a Grammy for that performance next year !! 🏆

Below is from the Washington Post. They called their performance the highlight of the night. You have no idea what leftists think, feel, or know. Get over yourself. Everyone loved it. Apparently, you weren't listening to their wonderful performance. Instead, you were digging around to say something unkind and obnoxious. How sad that you heard the song but missed the moment. It was very moving. And it was performed by 2 of the sweetest people ever to grace a stage. "Luke Combs has always said that Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” is one of his favorite songs of all time, which is why he decided to cover it - he had no idea it would become one of his biggest hits. As the camera focused on Chapman (who rarely performs in public) during her duet with Combs, the audience cheered wildly. You could feel the glee radiating off Combs as he stared at Chapman in awe as they sang; Chapman strummed her guitar, looking happy and serene. The collaboration resulted in a huge standing ovation."

You’re stirring up the same mess. A few race baiters doesn’t mean the left was mad. And a few racists who left insulting messages about her doesn’t mean the right was mad. When either side highlights the worst of other side we end up in these stupid culture wars. I’m listening to her first album right now, it’s incredibly soul soothing and a reminder that we are more similar than different

Not really from two different worlds as both can relate to the song.

​@lilibetmargaret I'm so glad you left this comment. I was going to ask them and Megan where their proof is that the left said that. Who? Notice they don't give names

This should have been way more publicized than it was. Two amazing performers coming together and proving that there is so much good in the world.

Why didnt it hit the top of the country charts with Chapman? They had 35years... Riddle me that

@@Ace-gi4bp Ummm it wasn't released as a country song, that's no riddle. What is the matter with you? When Tracy Chapman released it back in 88, the song was at the top 6 on the Billboard charts of her music genre. Riddle me why you are throwing out ridiculous negativity? This was a beautiful moment for her. I wept throughout the performance, seeing the tears in her own eyes at the recognition and appreciation she felt. I bet you are super fun at parties. What a downer you are. Good luck with that victimhood. Its beginning to fall on deaf ears, and is really quite blasé in 2024.

Well said

Wow! From Melbourne? Awesome. You guys gave us Olivia Newton John and full disclosure she was my 1st fan crush the summer of my 15 yrs of life when the movie Grease came out. I thought OMG she such a beautiful human being who happens to be uberly talented. I was just smitten.

Ditto. Can’t stop watching it 💖 Melbourne too

And she looks fabulous.

I love her smile and those dimples.

ALL Tracy!😊

Yup! He was wonderfully in awe of being able to sing with a person he truly admired. He was "girl-fanning" in the sweetest manner.

That song is ❤‍🔥. Full disclosure, I played it like 11 times yesterday on You Tube. I did a search for Tracey Chapman reaction videos.

He will be sorely missed.

Gutted 💔

What does Toby Keith have to do with this video. Nothing.

@@lorettayoung3088 I love Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman. I just hate that my all time favorite Toby is dead too.

Toby was a racist..

She's COLOREDS

🤣🤣🤣🤣What is coloreds? @@thewatchmen4920

​@@thewatchmen4920whats your point?

I am so jealous. Wow. That had to be other worldly. Wow.

Wow, that was a journey to heaven you had been. I can't just imagine, the late 80s-90s music was such an explosion of diverse talents from all over. Wow. ❤

@@imhereforitall9218 I was working in the music industry and during Tracy Chapman I asked for that time to be off. It was 1988 so I wore (someone’s) pager just in case I needed to return, I was left alone during her set. Some things money cannot buy

@@delbee718 I did purchase the cassette (before a CD 💿 player) and just bought Fast Car on iTunes when I found out she just got #1 with the Grammy performance. She’s soooo well deserved

She sanged at Wembly stadium in London for Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday. She had already sanged "Revolution" and because Stevie Wonder who was the surprise guest they asked her to come back and sing another song and she was unprepared and she decided on "Fast Car" and sanged it in front of 60k people and that performance shot her to stardom which may explain why she was way more popular in the UK.

bawled your word has a whole other meaning

Megyn is very st-p-d!

Wow! Over the PA system at the grocery store? I am so jealous. I had to take my sony walkman cassette player with me to work at the fast food joint where I worked and listened to it in my car on break while I smoked a dooby.

@@imhereforitall9218 Those were the days 😅

She does and Yesss she does

@@courtneykinsey1374

I’m glad for her!

U realise no " leftist" is watching this right..no need to give explanation!

Great points and observations.
