Late 2023, still watching our lovely and brilliant Brandi Carlile❣️ What a supreme talent❣️❣️❣️🎶

My husband and I flew into Chicago just to catch Brandi’s concert back in 2012. I volunteered to sign up concert goers before the concert started. It was a Wonderful experience as we paid for great seats and we were given back stage passes to meet Brandi. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful. I asked her what prompted her to write Pride and Joy. She thought carefully then said it had to do with an argument she had with her Mom when she was 17. I appreciated her openness and honesty. That concert and meeting will go down as one of my most memorable life experiences. Glad people are appreciating the talent she was blessed with.

Thank you so much for sharing what Brandi said "Pride and Joy" meant to her! I've been listening to it for years, and it always makes me think of my mom and our very complicated relationship. I really love knowing this, because I always felt it is written about her own mother somehow. What a fantastic experience you had, getting to meet her backstage!

Watching Brandi sing this song is like a religious experience.

A Brandi and Elvis duet would have been unforgettable.🥃😎👌

I love Brandi's version of Hallelujah, so simple, so perfect!

When music is pleasant as it enters your ears but then reaches your very soul is musical genius. Brandi Carlile has that ability.

I’ve heard many artists cover this song but Brandi Carlile’s performance is absolutely mind blowing and palpably beautiful! I’m sitting here mesmerized and moved to goosebumps, tears and even more goosebumps! Absolutely sensational! ❤🥰

I didn't know he did!

Her instruments sound so good

First time i saw and heard Brandi was in Glasgow around 2009, she was supporting Newton Faulkner. I had never heard of her. I arrived early stood about 6ft from a very low stage, out she came with a smile, totally relaxed, and started her set with Late Morning Lullaby. I still remember the goosebumps, as i stood there in complete awe, and i have seen many many bands and artists over the years. She is without doubt the best female artist i have ever seen. I saw her again in Glasgow a few months later headlining her own show. Utterly brilliant. Hallelujah performed to perfection both times, effortlessly. I also had the privilege of speaking with her on both occasions. What a modest, humble and friendly human being. Brilliant song writer, and performer. Real music, about real life, talent oozing from her. What a voice.!!

An impromptu choice followed quickly by a depth of feeling that is unparalleled. Took but a few seconds for BC to set her frame of mind to dazzle us all. Such talent.

There is a beautiful performance of KD Lang singing this to Leonard Cohen the night he was honored for lifetime achievement in Canadian music.. KD interprets every nuance and emotion on every note. Brandi sings this well and takes her time..this is a song for the ages..A brave choice 👏.

Did she really just take this as a request from the crowd? Brandi never ceases to leave my jaw on the floor.

@chrishayworth282 I just said the same thing! OMGOODNESS, She is so phenomenal! I'm a brand new fan of hers. I just saw her perform for the 1st time myself w/P!nk in honor of Sinbad O'Connor just a few hours after the announcement of her passing 😢

This was 16 years ok. I'm a new fan of Brandi's music her range is remarkable. I love this song and I think that was one of the best performances I've seen of someone singing that song.

How much soul crammed inside just one person!

Brandi, there are many versions of this song, but you truly touch the nerve when you sing this song. My dad and a beautiful gal I met at the hospital dad's are going through a difficult time of cancer. the way you sing just catches my heartstrings. So i dedicate this song to Mei, her sis and Mom and especially her father who has a rare form of cancer an d of course my dad. It's hard when you're 79/80 to go tru this horrible disease. So for our superhero dads. ROCK ON! WE LOVE YOU WITH ALL OUR WAKING BREATH AND HEART......YVONNE & MEI

I'm a Brandi Carlile late bloomer too. I first heard the story maybe 6 months ago and fell in love with her style and voice (and her pretty face). This effort was my first where the guitarist didn't have a strap across the fretts for the desired tone, and I've heard so many versions. God Bless you, Ms.Brandi.

Her voice!!!! I had the opportunity to see her open for Pink recently and she is incredible, she sang this song and I love her stripped down version that is just her voice.

Hallelujah to your voice and talent. You are loved.

"What the hell" indeed. Brandi is always ready to do an outstanding performance. Just beautiful!

I have just discovered Brandi wow! Just unbelievable talent. She sings hallelujah the way I thought it should be. Im a fan!

(shaking head) Jesus Fucking Christ... This woman is ... I don't even have words. "Brandi carlile" needs to be its own word for flabbergasted knock down stunned in amazement at someones out of this world talent.

"In her rendition, on the other hand, Brandi Carlile is able to make herself an instrument upon which the song plays, rather than needing to wrestle with and vanquish it. Her version foregrounds the song, not herself or her voice; it is, we might say, an appropriately reverential take for a song called “Hallelujah.” It succeeds not vis-à-vis some canonical version of the song, because this is a song with no original-only covers" ....from an article in the Atlantic about the many covers of Hallelujah. Couldn't agree more with the authors assessment of Brandi's cover...

The Jeff Buckley version is pretty amazing but Brandi’s voice is spectacular. I love this version.

This is so much better than most artists studio recordings. Wow! I’m hooked

I... guess I don't have words. This is beautiful, for lack of anything more profound to say.

Been seeing her live since '08 - look at her NOW - the same - but in her own

Oh my god. Okay, I admit at first I was like, what's the big deal? By the end, I had both chills and tears. Unparalleled connection to this treasure of a song.

No auto tune here!🤗😁👍 Chills!😳

Just the amazing control she has over that beautiful instrument that is her voice. What a maestro. This was stunningly good. *Everything* *she* *sings* is stunningly good.

Loving this lady. I’m Going to make it a point to listen to her more. Saw her with one of my favs Joni Mitchell

Just saw her with pink she's awesome live❤

And I'm discovering her tonight. I was drawn to look up Emmy Lou Harris's haunting song "Red Girl" that I heard playing back in the kitchen at a retreat I was on over the weekend. I noticed a cover by Brandi Carlile from a Prairie Home Companion. That led to finding this deeply moving version of Cohen's anthem. Yes, Robert B. You have summed up the elements of the song beautifully.

She has filled the void left by Linda Ronstadt

I can't hear this and NOT be deeply moved. This is a pristine, clean and POWERFUL re-invention of Cohen's classic. There is new beauty to this each time I come and revisit/replay this performance. Cohen's depth and Brandi's performance; what's not to love?

Maravilhosa Diva 🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰

Perfection

Watching as we say goodbye (and good riddance!) to 2022, I am fortunate to see her progression as an artist and as a humanitarian. The way she brought Joni to this festival 14 years later was beyond touching. And it takes Brandi all of one verse to make this last-minute choice her own. Wow!

As much as I love the original and love Buckley's cover even more...Brandi is truly the master of this song. She's such a talented musician and the closest we have to real female country/bluegrass singers in this generation. We need more like her to bring heart and soul back to country. We also haven't had any new great female artists in the genre in a long time. She's the only one I can think of.

Just a stunning voice range, and moving rendition of Hallelujah. I only briefly heard of Brandi Carlile before last week's Newport Folk Festival 2022, Brandi with Joni Mitchell, 14 years later! PS this should be added as #1 to Newsweek's article on 60 Versions of Hallelujah.

I have heard many covers of this song as well as Leonard's original. On this one there were many words I could not make out. It was still beautiful. I would love to hear every artist with a voice cover this in gibberish, well except for the hallelujah part. A guitar and a voice in front of 20,000 + people, that is bravery.
