Hey, I'm Reba McEntire, and I'm
looking back on my "Crossroads" performance
with Kelly Clarkson.
[MUSIC - REBA MCENTIRE, "DOES HE LOVE YOU"]
(SINGING) Or how am I to see then my last goodbye.
Am I deceiving myself?
Oh, does he love you?
Does he love you?
Anytime I can sing with Kelly is a thrill for me.
And "Crossroads" was coming around, and they were asking,
who would you like to do a "Crossroads" with?
And I'm pretty sure that's when it all came up back, Kelly.
Who wouldn't want to sing with Kelly Clarkson?
Just to be on the same stage with her was a blast.
(SINGING) --he's been loving you.
"Does He Love You" is a song you don't rehearse attitude.
You might rehearse the melody, and the words in the song,
and who's singing what.
But the attitude comes when you're singing
the song because it's a story.
It's about two women in love with the same man.
And it was very strange singing it with Kelly.
Of course, this was before she and Brandon got
married, a long time before.
But she was my buddy and we had a fun time with it.
I think she got a pretty much a kick out
of watching me and my attitude.
I had a 'tude going.
But I'm just fascinated with Kelly
singing, just greatest vocals.
[MUSIC - KELLY CLARKSON, "SINCE U BEEN GONE"]
(SINGING) Well, since you been gone,
I can breathe for the first time.
I'm so moving on.
Yeah, yeah.
Thanks to you, now I get what I want.
yeah.
since you been gone.
"Since U Been Gone" is such a fun song to--
oh, yeah.
See, I'm getting it.
It's a fun song to perform, to sing,
and I could sing harmony on it.
And it's weird harmony.
Attitude, again.
We like attitude songs.
(SINGING) I just want to be with you.
You can see right there the crowd's really getting into it.
They're on their feet, having fun.
They were singing along, having fun.
I didn't ever think in my lifetime I would be doing
a song like this in the Ryman Auditorium
when I was seven years old visiting it for the first time.
And here we are singing on the Ryman Auditorium stage
with Kelly Clarkson.
Getting to do "Fancy" with Kelly is always fun.
Getting to do "Fancy," my favorite song of all times,
is a blast. [MUSIC - REBA MCENTIRE, "FANCY"]
(SINGING) She said, here's your one chance.
Fancy, don't let me down.
She said, here's your one chance.
Fancy, don't let me down.
This song holds up.
First time I heard it was in 1968.
"Fancy" is just a wonderful song.
It's a rags to riches song that everybody kind
of like, that happened to me.
I know somebody it happened to, or I can really
admire the fortitude, and the attitude, and the perseverance
that Fancy had to make it through all the things
that she had to deal with.
So sad at the beginning, but then she wins.
Love it.
(SINGING) Now, in this world, there's
a lot of self-righteous hippocrit that call me bad.
Bad.
And criticize mama for turning me out,
no matter how little we had.
Oh, her singing's so great, her rhythm.
The band loves playing for Kelly.
I mean, she impresses anybody she's singing for or to,
and the band just goes like that.
Oh, we're just having fun.
We're playing.
It's like being on vacation with her.
And I think this is the reason why we went on tour together
doing the "Crossroads."
We ought to do this again.
That'd be so much fun.
