Brandi, You gave us the BEST Vocals at the Grammy tonight. You gave me chills, and I gave you a standing ovation in my living room. Bless you for sharing your incredible talent. Congrats on the Grammys you won.

She is pure talent. This is the bar that all other artists should seek to achieve.

[bradmossman]

My bandmate introduced me to this song. I stand in awe of how great this is. I am happy to sing this song.

[independentmusicguy]

Brandi kills it on everything that she has ever done! She writes some great songs and breathes her life inergy into her covers of other's work. Phenomenonal artist with a huge heart.

[supathos]

The best song of the night! And this woman knows how to sing, beautiful voice.

[bryter]

Drummer is ‘Ringo-ing’ the hell out of those drums. Awesome.

The power in her voice appears to be effortless. I know it isn't but my, what an instrument.

My heart is completely for her. My god.

Man, and I thought the studio version was great. Here, she is merely...spectacular.

[stevenhanson]

You channeled Janis and my late darling, Corrina del Norte

[jobemo]

Once they realized what she was saying, she was blacklisted from nashville. What a "joke".

[OctoberOhio]

she can only sing in harmony. so clear. that's why she attaches herself to other artists.

[areyouearthing]

"as you carry your baby across the desert". Is she referring to Mary? Yes, that Mary. The mother of Jesus Christ.

[arieltulian]

I feel illegal pretty much all the time (did i mention i'm a Thief?)...
