I soulfully agree... Although..???🤔🤔🤔 I don't just "think".. I "KNOW" A WORK OF ART WHEN I SEE IT... AND ANYONE WHO IS AS "AUTHENTIC" WITHIN AS WITHOUT IS SIMPLY A "GIFT". SHE DOESN'T HAVE A GIFT.. SHE "IS" A GIFT!! WE "ALL" ARE!! THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT SHE "BELIEVES" THAT... AND MOST OF US ARE STILL LOOKING WITHOUT INSTEAD OF WITHIN TO FIND IT... GOD WILLING, WE EVENTUALLY REALIZE ITS BEEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF US ALL ALONG... ONLY THAN CAN WE SING OUT OUR HEARTS BEAUTIFUL SONG... UNTIL THEN WE "DREAM" AND GET LOST IN ANOTHER'S...

It's Bonnie's song but Brandi does a great job. She has also covered several of Joni's songs that she also knocked out of the park. I see it as a wonderful tribute, an homage to the original and also believe this is how these songs live through generations, as a legacy to the giants like Bonnie and Joni. For the record, Brandi is well on her way to joining that pantheon of the best songstresses ever. Sit back and enjoy her work. THat's my advice.
It's just a cover, man. It's not some emotionally fraught homage to the muses of the ages, the eternal musical gods, and all are brought to bask in the mighty light of beauty and art. It's a cover.
Pretty hard to top Bonnie Raitt's version, but this comes about as close as anything I've seen. Love the stripped down quality of it with just the acoustic.
How does she put so much emotion into her singing? I love Bonnie's. Always. Brandi seems to add a touch of anger to the heartbreak of swallowing what you can't change. Beautiful!
No doubt, life experiences have allowed her to be able to reach down into her soul and let both her and the listener feel the words and grant us all that emotional connection. She is amazing. I hope I get to see her for the first time, during her 2018 Tour.
@brandicarlile has some of the best vocals in the industry. But more than that, she sounds absolutely flawless live and puts her whole heart into every performance
It's a beautiful night for a kinda sad love song ♥ My heart is feeling all the emotions in Brandi's Sweet voice, always loved this tune but now I love it even more!! Great Cover!!
OMG!!!! This is the first time I"ve heard you sing this cover and I am BLOWN AWAY!!!! I, for one can't believe this is the first time I've heard this version but, just like every other song, I'm BLOWN away!!!!
what ??? I Can't Make You Love Me was written by Mike Reid (an ex-Cincinnati Bengal defensive lineman) & Allen Shamblin .... I absolutely love Prince, but he didn't write this song (he wrote a "blue million" masterpieces, but not this one) .... google it, I did .... (someone else also stated the same song writer as being Mike Reid in a comment above 2 years ago)
That is laughable. This woman is such her own person, she would tear you to pieces. If you think this comment is any kind of clever, then you know absolutely nothing about Brandi Carlisle. Get educated.
@@natemarean8787 I cared enough to say so because what you point out was obvious to me after only a moment. I may not know the words for what I'm looking for but I know it when I see it and she's more even than you describe; I'd bet money on it.
Some voices are pure and some voices are rough. Brandi Carlile is both at the same time.
Sometimes a person choses the art, sometimes the art choses the person. We are fortunate here I think.
Jon Spencer ...Very well put!
I soulfully agree...

*chooses
Very well said. Yes I agree 💯
I can't think of anyone I'd rather hear sing than Brandi Carlile !!!!!
Maybe Eva Cassidy.
Her rough purity is one part of her allure. Just wait and listen as she slips into her deeply emotive and bel canto place.

No doubt, life experiences have allowed her to be able to reach down into her soul and let both her and the listener feel the words and grant us all that emotional connection. She is amazing. I hope I get to see her for the first time, during her 2018 Tour.
And this was written by a NFL football player….wow! Blew my mind. Mike Reid. (Bengals)…just wow.
Did you see the Grammys? I know these performances are years apart. Brandi and the twins have been stellar artist ...forever.
The original version makes me cry, just when I thought this song couldn't be any more tearjerking. All the feels!!
still waiting to see Brandi and Bonnie on stage together! How amazing would that be!
If you're still listening, they finally sang together at the Ryman in honor of John Prine!
Can’t get through this without crying. She’s got so much soul. So much talent. So much voice.
I can't think of anyone I'd rather see smile than Brandi Carlile !!!!!
OK, that one isn't exactly true. But I do love her smile.
@brandicarlile has some of the best vocals in the industry. But more than that, she sounds absolutely flawless live and puts her whole heart into every performance
Best cover of this song to date.
Blown away. Notice the small Collings Guitar
she made the lyrics come alive for me. pretty amazing
Love u Brandi. Can't believe it's been 8 yrs that you recorded that.
So raw and emotional, great remake
I love Bonnie, really I do, but this is the most amazing version of this song I have ever heard.
Goosebumps...
I discovered this song through Bon Iver. This is a beautiful version. Brandi is awesome 👏🏽
I'm speechless. This is perfect.
Such a great talent singing maybe the all time best sad love song. Hard to beat.
A truly versatile artist!!!
This is one of my favorite songs. I am so happy she did this. Beautiful.
Loved watching her live at the Paragon on Queen Anne in Seattle. At small venues. With Dave Matthews. This lime light is way passed do.
Beautiful
Best Cover of Bonnie on youtube.
It's a beautiful night for a kinda sad love song ♥ My heart is feeling all the emotions in Brandi's Sweet voice, always loved this tune but now I love it even more!! Great Cover!!
Beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time, especially to those who can relate to this song so much...fantastic cover!
OMG!!!! This is the first time I"ve heard you sing this cover and I am BLOWN AWAY!!!! I, for one can't believe this is the first time I've heard this version but, just like every other song, I'm BLOWN away!!!!
An amazing cover of a song by another magnificent woman. Heart and soul.👐
Unbelievable song.hits home.
Sensational cover of a "not the easiest" song to sing...
Excellent cover! If i wasnt looking at the name at times she sounds like Bonnie. I mean that as the highest compliment
Outstanding!
I love you brandi ❤️
heart breaker
Just... Wow!
still wonderful in 2024
This is wonderful, such a unique tone!
Absolutely luv,luv,luv both versions. It is the honestcemotion in both.
Soooo goooood.
Love
I love live performances
Good version
Way to go
This is amazing O.O so great
sometimes the youtube algorithm gets it just right!!!
I can't make you love me, if you don't.
Destined to be great 👍
Nice Job!
I love her none the less. I love her voice, I love her smile, I love her figure, I LOVE HER. She can come live with me anytime.
Thank you
You have to go along way to beat this song no matter who sings it.
Please correct the spelling of Carlile on the playlist . besides that, brilliant !
❤️
If you liked this version of the song, check out Sophie Auster's. Also excellent in a very different way.
So True
Written by Mike Reid an Ex-Cincinnati Bengal defensive lineman...
NO WAY!!!!
When was this performance?
[Later]
Looked it up for myself. September 2014.
❤❤❤
Maybe bruce hornsby could join as he used to help bonnie out.
Chris Kirstofferson daughter and his guitar?
Nick j , no this is not a daughter of Kris Kristofferson.
I know,but love your music.Not patronizing you
Its a really good but Bon Ivers version trumps all others, no other cover can really capture the same emotion and pain that you hear in his cover.
🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶
Prince sure could pen a lyric

Sad this is on mute most of the time
Too much distortion on the recording. It's a pity because the performer is great.
Sorry fellas, I call dibs.

Bro, not only is she gay but she's also married. Hate to break it to you.
She is an awesome singer and musician. But she is "married" Don't pretend you don't know what I mean! Time for you to be offended and outraged.
+Bill Stanton She isn't "married". She is married. I'm pretty sure she doesn't think that's a waste.
Bill Stanton "Mother", a song she wrote about their daughter
It's less shameful these days
Save the quotes, Bro. She's married.
So what?????
Again. NO
Dumb try.
You don’t like Brandi I see. From all your other posts. Sorry you don’t. Your loss.
@@tallmaui Course I LOVE Brandi. She cannot do this song and she cannot do "Blue". Doesn't work.
Voice is annoying.
let's hear your voice then...i bet your worst than a singing cow bakamadapakapo?
So very sorry to hear of your hearing problem😑😒. Hope it gets better soon😒😒😒😒
@brandicarlile please please you and @bonnieraitt duet of this song!!!!!
