Wynonna Judd Performs "Love Can Build A Bridge" | Naomi Judd: A River of Time Celebration 

I feel like I can still hear Naomi's voice when singing the chorus. I cannot believe the strength Wynonna had singing this. It had to be hard. This song is so special, even more so now.

Fantastic singing by Wynonna Judd. When the audience started singing my tears kept flowing. R.I.P. Naomi Judd.

Wynonna is just a phenomenal person. Raising people up in her time of grief. ❤️

How Wynonna has the strength to sing during this ceremony for her beloved mother is beyond me. Love, comfort, prayers to Wy, Ashley, Larry, extended family, friends who are feeling this incredible loss. Love Can A Bridge is a song to stand the test of time. May we never forget Naomi’s value to country music & her community.

The tears are flowing. What an amazing tribute to Naomi Judd. Mother, Wife, Icon

One of the best songs ever written, Naomi was so empathetic,and great song writer

I viewed this live and BAWLED… such a tremendous loss. Naomi raised two amazing women- what a legacy.

Wynonna is a power house ….. What a voice! Hopefully she will continue singing , it seems to give her the strength to carry on a true campion.

She honored her mother so beautifully along side Ashley. What a beautiful tribute.

Wynonna has a spirit about her that I haven’t seen before. I’ve seen her sing soooo many times. She has always been amazing but she truly seems whole in this song performance.

What an incredible woman Wynonna is. Speechless

Wy, you built a bridge between Heaven and Earth with that performance. I have no doubt in my mind that your sweet Mama heard you. ❤️

Wynonna has the Rock of Ages sustaining her...such strength and a beautiful annointing on her. Inspiring, amazing 😇❤️💐🕊🦋

This is the first time I've heard the song without Naomi singing background with Wynonna and it made me feel her absence in the most profound way. To have seen them perform the song together live just over a month ago and now to see Wynonna performing it on her own is as powerful and inspiring as it is heartbreaking. Such courage and grace displayed tonight by the entire Judd family.

Sitting in my swing in the backyard, watching the eclipse and listening to the Naomi Judd memorial. So many feels right now. Well done Wynonna. 👏

That was so deeply moving to hear everybody singing together oh that was incredible......prayers

Wow, under the circumstances - what a great performance by Wynonna.... This was the last song they sang together about a month ago...I can't even imagine what Wynonna must be feeling performing this song, but she done it justice like she always does. Her mother would be so proud

I’ve never seen Wynonna sing with such soul and spirit. It is really special tonight.

Still in tears from this amazing tribute, Wynonna sings like an angel! Thank you for the beautiful music Naomi, you will be missed.

Wow. To be able to do this while grieving for her momma testifies to something inexplicable deep inside Wynonna’s soul. When she chokes up on “keep believing in the power,” I am 100% convinced that’s Naomi’s hand on her shoulder, telling her it’s gonna be ok. ❤️

This song always hits home for me. This song has a whole new meaning to Wynonna now. Naomi was a beautiful song writer she was a beautiful woman I truly hope she is at peace. Mental health issues are no joke Naomi had pain no one could help her with and the mental health took over if you need help please try to get it I no that is what Naomi would say. Rest in peace Naomi

I love it when she turns it into a worship experience because that is exactly what I have done with that song on stage numerous times. Rest in peace Naomi Judd and I love you Wynonna!

Never in a million years have I ever met a country music singer with this much strength. There's no way, I could have gotten up and did what she did tonight. Wynonna has Naomi's humor...she had me bawling when she said "Let's change it up and go spontaneous so she can hear it" 😭😭 and then, had me laughing when she said "The God I serve is Pentecostal" I know the God she serves because he's my God too and I am Pentecostal/Apostolic, and only from the Lord will these girls continue to gather their strength. I grew up with the Judds music from the time I was born in 1980 all the way up until this song came out listening to them with my Mama. I lost my Mom in 2020 from Alzheimers disease and dementia, so I can somewhat sympathize with them on seeing their Mom's mental health deteriorate slowly. Both my Mom & Naomi had different things going on but still similar because it's an attack on the brain and neurological system. Praying for them, and thank you for such great music! My Mom lives on with your songs because we listened to them together ❤

Well that made me cry, not embarrassed to say it. Can’t believe Wynonna got thru it. Amazing performance and tribute to her momma!!!

When I heard this tribute would be taking place my first thought was, how can they go through with this given their grief. Having seen so much of it, I now realize, how could they not. There's so many people mourning the loss of Naomi Judd and for her daughters and husband to take part in this celebration of her life is the most gracious thing they could have done for so many. Naomi Judd was a very accomplished singer, author and songwriter, but I always sensed that her greatest accomplishment and the focus of much of her pride, was in the daughters she raised, and raised primarily on her own. Naomi, your daughter's clearly miss you but they did you very very proud tonight. God bless Naomi, Wynonna, Ashley, and Larry

"I believe in the power of Love and I believe there's always Hope"- Naomi Judd 🌹❤️

This is too heartbreaking, Wynonna truly loved her mother even though they bickered, you could always feel the Love. You did your Mama proud Wynonna..

She is one of the most beautiful women and her voice is smooth, silky, and timeless. ♡ the judds

It’s no coincidence such a person was blessed with that voice…

Cannot even imagine the pain she must feel when she is singing these songs that she used to perform with her beautiful mother. Just courage beyond words for Wynonna and Ashley, when all eyes are on you and your grief is on national display. Sending them much love and hope they will find peace 💐❤️

Power of a Mamma's love pours thru this daughter in a selfless tribute to her beloved mamma....❤️

I am in tears how, how did she manage? Such respect to Wynonna, love and hugs to she and Ashley. Fly with the angels now Naomi. 🕊

I suffer from mental health problems and I felt this, so raw. And as a grown man of 34 years I cried cause of the circumstances of it all. And how I can relate to how Naomi felt. No good can undo the thoughts and false feelings that mental health problems bring. They are a sabotage that twist the soul.

I'm crying a river of Tears!,God Bless Everyone around the world, may God give Everyone strength and love!

I dont think ive ever felt so proud or so much respect as I do watching Wynonna up there tonight. Ive read the books. Ive watched every Oprah appearance and the docuseries and watched the dynamics. Wynonna has been through so much. They all have. But i relate to her struggles in particular. She held it together and unselfishly gave Naomi an absolutely beautiful send off but I know inside she was dying. I couldn't hold it together and was a mess. So many prayers going out to Larry, Ashley, Wy, Elijah and Grace. RIP Mama Judd.

At the end of the song, when everyone in the building sang every word, because they KNEW every word, you realize the legacy and impact left on this world by Naomi Judd. May many more live and find peace through her departure.

In tears watching this beautiful, touching performance. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My heart hurts so much for Naomi's family and friends, and all that loved and adored her. This made me so emotional. I lost my mother not that long ago.

I suffer from terrible anxiety so this touches me deeply. Naomi, rest peacefully in the arms of your King.

How she found the strength to do this is mind boggling. She created a very real historic moment

Wynonna god bless you and your family. You did Naomi proud but such a beautiful celebration of her life!!

Watching this , and when Wynona sang The Rose with the other lady ( sorry, I don't know her, lovely voice), moved me to tears. You could definitely feel the Spirit 💕.

Feels like being at church and having an intense spiritual experience. Remember, God’s love can cover you and fill the emptiness and heal u from life’s traumas.

It had to take every once of strength she has to sing this today and so beautifully.💖

Wy, this is oh, SO very touching and I've been singing this daily ♡ Just beautiful. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ♥️🕊

Look at Wynonna's eyes right at 5:05 (she's looking right at you) 5:06 look at the way the light hits her eyes... God, please be with them during this time, and guide them with Your strength, love, mercy, comfort, healing and peace. In Jesus name AMEN. Love you ALL.

She has always been a favorite of mine. The Judd's made beautiful music. Wynona's voice is still so beautiful and powerful.

I had severe depression that hit out of no where when I was 17 (I’m 38 now). I finally got better when I discovered law of attraction and meditation (binaural beats) in 2016. I refused to be put on medication (my choice, I don’t speak for others on their choice) but it hits me deep. I believe Naomi was smart and beautiful and that her message for us is to raise awareness and share our truths for her and so many like her out there. I think we need to be kind and gentle on people and share love. You don’t know what someone else is going through. Check in on people and make the effort to smile and say hello to those who cross your path everyday. I started making that effort and not only did it make me feel good but it made others feel acknowledged and in return gave them hope in humanity. God bless

This song brings tears to my eyes. It is a beautiful song. It was not that long ago that Niaomi performed this song on the CMA Awards. God is with you Wynona and Ashley and God loves you both. Prayers to you both and other family.

Wynonna's more mature voice has such roundness and depth of tone that fills the room...beautifully performed! It's so wonderful that everyone is singing this beautiful song...and that people are smiling in memory of Naomi. We are building strong bridges!!!

In tears watching this Beautiful Touching performance . God blessed you all. Rest in peace Naomi Judd.

This song means the world to me. It reminds me of long road trips with my late father who introduced me to the Judds when I was young. He would blast this song and had it on repeat. He's been gone since late 2019. I couldn't listen to this song since he passed away. My heart goes out to Wynonna and Ashley and their whole family.

I have a whole new respect for Wynonna. How she changed this song mid-centre to get everyone singing is incredible. 💖

Such a beautiful performance for a wonderful woman, mom, wife, singer and artist!! Rest in peace Naomi!!

I grew up listening to their music and it just hurts knowing she’s gone. I saw the interview that Ashley gave with Diane sawyer and it broke my heart. I can’t imagine how hard it was for Miss Naomi to hide her pain, loneliness and depression for so many years. Please rest in peace Miss Naomi. We love y’all.

I love how Wynonna just pauses for a moment and looks at everyone with their signs in the air! You can tell she knows she is not alone and is so loved! It makes my heart smile!

Naomi can hear her song for the first time and not feel saddness.. 🕊❤️🙏..no more crying there 😇

What a strong and rich voice ! Love to hear her sing! May her sweet mother get her some rest from a long battle of depression! Depression is real folks!

Wynonna is such an amazing person even in this time of grief she can still raise people up. God Bless Wynonna, Ashley, Larry and the Judd family.

I was in tears through out that beautiful, powerful performance and song by Wynonna...God bless Wynonna, Ashley and Larry, dear Naomi's husband (and whole family)❤🙏...Love truly can build a bridge, especially during immense grief. I've been to hell and back many times over grief, depression and anxiety...and stood at that doorstep where sweet Naomi crossed over, when the pain was more than she could bear. The faith I have in God and Jesus, gets me through each day and their love is always there for me...plus, all my guardian angels, like my dear Mom, Dad, family & friends in Heaven (baby pets too), are all with me too, as my beautiful guardian angels. I may be single , but I never feel alone, because they are all there with me and living through me, guiding me. That love gives me the strength to carry on. 😊❤ ✝

WOW! This song was always powerful to listen to when BOTH Naomi and Wynonna sung it. But tonite performance this was a different side to Wynonna I have never seen before. In a good way she sung from her heart to do this song for her Momma justice and she nailed it👏 How she could perform at all is amazing I couldn't of gotten through it. Kudos to Wynonna and God Bless her, Ashley and Larry they are in ALL OF OUR Thoughts, Prayers hoping for peace and comfort as they try to grasp all that has happened. Especially Ashley what she is going through being the one to discover Naomi after she passed. Please God help her erase all that trauma from her discovery in Jesus name AMEN🙏🙏🙏

Poor Wy. I can’t even imagine how hard this was. I heard she was helped off the stage she was so grief stricken. Hee Mom would have been so proud of her. A champion to the end.

I love that both Wynonna and Naomi stand by their faith in God and shared it openly.

Wynonna, best female voice... Ever. Deepest Condolences dear. You carry it well on your own shoulders. Your momma would be proud. Best wishes.

My absolute favorite song of theirs, The Judds was a love my mom and I shared, we had a rocky relationship. I lost her 4yrs ago. Everytime I hear The Judds I think of her. RIP Naomi

Singing for her Mama. One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

She and her mom sang this on the awards show when they announced their tour, now she's singing it again, but without her mom, how sad 😥. Prayers for the whole family, may you feel some peace soon 🙏💗.

I’ve got goosebumps!!’ She definitely heard this Wynonna!!!!!Sending ❤️❤️❤️❤️ to you & your family.

What a beautiful wonderful job Wynona did singing “Love can build a bridge” the choir was magnificent along w the congregation too! 💕 you all are loved Ashley and Wynona,Larry💕💐AMEN

I recorded this on my DVR when The Judds sang it in April, then again tonight, because they’ve always been my absolute favorites of all time. In April, it brought me to tears that they were back on stage, and tonight Wynonna, Ashley, and their family’s grief brought me to tears through this entire, “Celebration of Life.” It was amazing, and beautiful, yet heart wrenching and painful. Naomi’s legacy will always live on within our hearts, and our memories are forever! I am so thankful for this celebration gift, by the family, in keeping Naomi’s wishes, and for all of us who needed it, as we try and look forward. Please everyone, keep Naomi’s family in your prayers. God Bless! 🙏🏼🦋🙏🏼🦋🙏🏼

Wynonna God to continue to bless you and give you peace. I have watched this video multiple times. Each time I am so moved by you singong this song for your mom. Gives me chills every time

Gives me chills ! Such a beautiful and difficult thing to do for all of the family 💔

Thank you CMT for showing this. I means so much to all of us Judds fans. R.I.P. Naomi. Prayers for the Judd family. We all love all of you so much. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕

Love her for ever and ever amen thank you baby girl from Buena Park CA USA no matter what

God bless you Naomi Judd may you be with the angels and be at peace now 🙏 ✨ ❤

Absolutely beautiful! I am sure your Mama heard it! Prayers and love to you Wynonna!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful tribute for your BEAUTIFUL MOTHER. May she RIP now.

Way to go Wynonna, only the power of the Holy Spirit during such a time of grief can use your beautiful gift to lead people in such an powerful message!!! We are all praying for all of you!!!!

Both daughters have been so strong through their trauma and grief.I admire both of them so much.The Judd's music was always so honest and from the heart.They are treasured

The pain she must be feeling and I think this is the most beautiful version I have seen or heard. Thank you for doing this for the fans. I couldn’t watch it last night. Did not get CMT and I’m sicker than a dog with covid. Amazing Wynonna 🤗

Such a beautiful and strong woman you are Wynonna Judd! Take time to heal sweet girl❤️

So impressed with the strength Wynonna demonstrated, and how she commanded the stage. Absolutely incredible. Prayers for Her and her family.

i have such an admiration for these two women. Can't imagine the grief they and Larry have experienced. The love for this dear mother and wife and the faith in the God that has carried them through this valley is a precious sight to behold. Thank you for your kindness in allowing us to honor her with you.

God bless her for keeping it together during this difficult time 🙏

Singing her heart out holding back tears 🥹.

Had tears coming down. Just love this song. God bless you Wynonna and pray to keep giving you the strength you’ll need to keep going.

That is what I was waiting for. That song.

Love you Judds! I hope you can use this tragedy to help others who are suffering somehow!

I start to listen when I go to work. You got this wynoanna you are great and strong love 💘❤💗💕💖

This is beautiful! Kudos to Wynonna. I honestly can’t believe she was able to do it.❤️🙏🏻❤️

Took my breath away 🙏💞❤

Amazing tribute! What a strong voice from a strong woman!

Wy is a power house of a voice. For over 30 years this song has been one I turn to in times of intense sorrow. I sang this song to my mom when she was on the brink of death. This is my favorite Judd song. God Bless this family in their time of great sorrow. A world of hearts are grieving with you.

The best songs come from life's strife and struggles. Only this family knows this first hand...beautiful Judds

Such a talent Wynonna is. Amazing voice. She got it all from her momma. God bless her soul! May she rest in the arms of Jesus...

I pretty much cried through the whole hour. Especially each time Wynonna sang. That song River of Time started it all! I felt every song to my core. Very emotional. I lost my Mama back on December 18th so this really hit home for me! I didn't lose her the way Wynonna and Ashley lost their Mama but I lost my Mama to the terrible disease of cancer. I love the way the audience sang to Wynonna. It was so beautiful! I tried to sing along too but I was a blubbering mess! The tribute to Naomi was so heartfelt and beautiful. Everyone who sang was so good! The words of condolences was heartfelt. I loved what everyone said but I especially loved what Bono and Oprah said. The poem that Martina McBride read that Maya Angelou wrote was perfect! The whole tribute was perfect! Again, my sincere condolences to Wynonna, Ashley, Larry & the entire family. 🙏😔💔

Grieving the loss of a parent is the worst kind of heartache. I can’t imagine doing it with the world watching. This was such a beautiful tribute.

You are the best country singer that ever lived Wynona! Hugs and kisses precious one.
