If ABC did a two-hour special of just this, I would love every minute of it.

I’m telling you man, no other genre of music has this much respect for the elders of their genre and the women of their genre.

[Magicalmysticalevil]

I love when Gretchen said, I know the words to every tanya tucker song and she was standing behind her. SO

[AndySaenz]

Reba, Carrie, and Dolly represent 3 different generations of country music. It’s 3 different voices, but their voices harmonized so well.

[reganemerson]

I come here every so often to watch this again. I wish we had more of this.

[SuperLovebug]

Every single woman in country brings something different to the table but it's so beautiful.... Gretchen Wilson takes my breathe away every time the POWER and CONFIDENCE!!!

[rickdavid]

Gretchen Wilson sounded absolutely fantastic!

[crazyforsilver]

You can hear Carrie so distinctly while they are singing Independence Day. Carrie crushed that song on idol.

[jberryinn]

Gretchen and Sara...whoa! Voices haven't changed!

[gavinfranklin]

I get goosebumps watching them all together Martina knows how to get women unit together just wish Shania Twain was there

[nickwheeler]

This is the only kind of country music that should exist. The women have the guys beat in this genre by a long shot.

[chantelle]

I wish Shania was there. But an absolutely beautiful performance!!

[JackycClark]

Tanya Tucker is a country legend . Please put her in the Hall of Fame . As she sang, bring me flowers while I'm here !!!

[catwhisperer]

MAN, I LOVE Reba's deep voice---heard, so clearly, on "down", when they sing "until the day they lay me down"!!!

[Taylorstanek]

This whole performance was such a power move on the CMAs’ part. Like seriously wow 😍

[AndySaenz]

I love it when all of them start singing Independence Day with Martina McBride! That was EPIC!

[rachelwaugh]

So many tributes missing but at least they remembered to give a shout out to Tanya Tucker and Crystal Gayle.

[OPedroVilaNova]

ALL honors for the Legendary Queen of Country, wonderful DOLLY PARTON!

[robertbentley]

Could you imagine having Dolly singing back up on one of your songs. She is such a giving person

[rickdavid]

I've adored Reba since I was a little boy, I just turned 43 and she 66, she is beautiful in and out. When she sang her bit, I just melted!
