Yes! You've discovered Brandi! Now, maybe it's time you take a listen to another singer-song-writer: Joan Armatrading. Her "Show Some Emotion", "The Weakness in Me", "Tall In The Saddle", "Warm Love", etc.

The version of this song that hit me the hardest was the 2019 live performance at the Grammys. Talk about tears - she crushed that live performance.

It’s an anthem for the marginalized, and that’s why it’s so beautiful ❤️. I’m so happy that my favorite artist was able to emote these feelings from you both like she does for me. This will be on repeat for the rest of the day.

"The Joke" won 2 Grammy awards for Best American Roots Song and Best American Roots Performance in 2019. Brandi Carlile said on NPR of the track, "There are so many people feeling misrepresented [today] ... So many people feeling unloved. Boys feeling marginalized and forced into these kind of awkward shapes of masculinity that they do or don't belong in ... so many men and boys are trans or disabled or shy. Little girls who got so excited for the last election (2016), and are dealing with the fallout. The song is just for people that feel under-represented, unloved or illegal."

You must see her live. It’s the best concert you’ll ever experience. Promise.

Her Grammy performance of this song was next level🔥

WOW! Current artist- multi Grammy winner. Brandi is GREAT. One of the best artists today. You need to listen to all her music.

she sang this at the Grammy's a few years back, and she worked. it. out.

She performed this at The Grammys & it was BRILLIANT ‼️❤️❤️❤️

She sang this song on the Grammys and by the end I was sobbing. Her voice her performance her words ........stunning. I will never forget that moment.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Joke! I have never not cried when I have heard this song.

I had never heard this song in my life, this woman's voice is very powerful, the vocal ranges are amazing, this song reminds me of The Cranberries - Zombie and Linger.

Her performance of this at the Grammys may be one of, if not the best Grammys performance ever

Brandi is brilliant I love "The Story"

She performed this song LIVE at the grammy award show a few years ago (she won the grammy with this song!). To say it was it was an iconic performance is an understatement! The crowd was on its' feet!

I had my fingers crossed that you'd do Brandi Carlile's "The Joke" on a Female Friday. This is my favorite of hers (and she has many great songs). I love the message of how many people feel excluded from life, belittled and struggling to find his or her place in this world of woe. Society can be so cruel to people labeled as "other" or "not our kind of people". We are all unique, special individuals with so much to contribute to this world. Brandi points out that ultimately the joke will be on those who strive to put down any of God's creatures.

My favorite song of Brandi's is That Wasn't Me. I love that song so much. I also like her cover of Joni Mitchell's A Case of You...so good.

It's one of my favorite songs of all time, and it deserves all the accolades it's gotten.

Such a powerful message; compassion, empathy...and there's no other artist out there with the vocal power to carry this song. Brandi Carlile is simply amazing, a generational talent. Listen to "The Story" next.

I love this woman. She’s the real deal. She’s great friends with Joni Mitchell and just did a beautiful Kennedy Center tribute to her.

Please revisit Brandi when you can...I know there are *so many artists* out there, but Brandi gets into your soul. I was lucky enough to see her live once, and her voice was UNREAL. "The Story" is awesome, but the Bear Creek album's "Raise Hell," "Hard Way Home," "Save Part of Yourself," and "That Wasn't Me" are a few more of my favorites. Love you guys...I am a full-time teacher and single mom, and your videos bring me happiness every day. Thanks for doing them.

Dive into Brandi's catalog. The Story is where it's at. She's our local homegirl, and we LOVE her!!!

I can go die happy now! This is all I’ve been waiting for, this song always makes me cry. Trust me that ALL her music is amazing. Her and the twins are amazing songwriters, and her voice is just unbelievable. Her new album In These Silent Days is genius (so are all the other ones). “The Story” next please!

She has such an elegant voice. You will love "The Story".

I swear I watch her Grammy performance of this song at least once a week. What an emotional powerhouse.

Brandi just won three more Grammys please react to more of her stuff The Story is still my favorite.

her two band mates are twin brothers and their voices are as beautiful as her and the three of them together are out of this world.

I can’t believe I’ve missed this reaction. If you can catch her doing this at the Grammys! One of the best live performances at the Grammys ever! Powerful! It’s how music can change the way people think! Wow! Love you two!❤️❤️❤️❤️💪

Her song, The Story, will make you feel just as good. And probably put in words how you two feel about each other. 🥰

Her voice is one of the best ever. Another one of her great songs is the story

When the heart aches for the pain of others…for the humanity of our brothers and sisters…the heart is a golden one. You both have this. Thank you for sharing your gold.

Thank you for the introduction to such a beautiful song. I am a new Brandi Carlile fan, because of her group "The Highwomen" Thank you again for the tears today. When a song can bring one to tears it has to be fantastic. Thanks again you guys rock

Thomas bowman. Me too. 41 years for me. I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Brandi a few times over the years, once at her home outside of Seattle and emceed a benefit concert she did for her foundation “Looking Out”. I don’t know if you noticed or knew her, but the late Rita Houston from WFUV was one of the people in this video. She and Brandi were good friends. Couldn’t be happier for Brandi’s success. No one more deserving.

Easy follow up for Brandi Carlile…. The Story. Absolutely amazing. She is such an incredible story teller. Her voice and songwriting have wisdom WAY beyond her years.

FINALLY! I've been waiting for a Brandi Carlile on Female Friday. She's incredible, and she has so many fantastic songs -- "The Eye," "Most of All," and "The Mother" are my favorites.

She's extraordinary, isn't she? Also a delightful human being. Love her, and you guys too.

Finally! More Brandi Carlile please. "The Story" should be next.

More Brandi Carlile please. "The Story" should be next. It's a beautiful video!

Brandi is amazing. Brandi Carlile is technically the name of the group she is in with Phil and Tim Hanseroth. If you want to listen to a song that highlights them as well The Eye is pretty awesome too.

There are SO many of Brandi's songs that I want to recommend to you guys, but I'll stick with three. "The Story" was her first hit around 2007, and I believe is her strongest melody/song and really shows her vocal power. "The Mother" is a fantastic song about parenthood that I think you would love. "The Eye" is another I'd recommend if you want possibly the best vocal harmonies EVER.

Brandi has a RIDICULOUS catalog of great song.

Around 2000 we were lucky enough to discover Brandi when she opened for Jonny Lang at the House of Blues in N.O. It was Jonny’s acoustic tour and one of the best shows I’ve ever heard. Brandi came out with guitar and the guys that play with her ( the twins!). We stood at the old wooden stage right in front of them while they sat on stools and simply played acoustic guitar and sang just like we were in our own living room! IT. WAS. AMAZING!! ♥️ She has such a powerful voice to be so soft and soothing. She said that she was always told that her voice was a mix of Patsy Cline and - Amber, JANIS JOPLIN! because she can wail!! After, we got to meet her and bought her first limited release CD which only had maybe 5 tracks but we wore it out. Needless to say we became fans on the spot! And I’ve mentioned Jonny Lang before! You guys really need to check him out for guitar skills that are unmatched and a voice like none other! And yeah he played that night sitting in a chair just tapping his foot and brought the house down!! Didn’t even need accompaniment for most of the show. Great reaction guys! Love y’all. 🎶 ♥️ 🎶

So glad you finally found your way to her! Doesn't have a bad song. 💗

Pride and Joy is one of my all time favorites.

This is one of the most beautiful songs of the last decade. Brandi is an amazing artist. She’s also worked with Dolly Parton.

I think both of you would enjoy the Highwomen covering Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain”. The Highwomen is a group with Brandi Carlisle, Amanda Shires, Maren Morris and Natalie Hemby.

There is something so raw and emotional about her voice…it’s like she reaches into your chest and grabs you by the heart and soul.

Brandi Carlile is the best singer/songwriter in the world today.

If you haven't, you have to see the Grammy performance of this song! That voice isn't just a processed studio version... i've been in a room and heard her live and had goosebumps for about 2 hours straight.

Jay, Amber, thank you for allowing us to share your journey while you experience the music that is the songbook of our lives. Your exuberance, empathy, and joy, that you so freely show, while you do, is a blessing to us, your faithful RSR family. The passage of time can harden us, but you are there to remind us of what that music means, and how we felt when we first heard it. You punch through the walls that time has built around our hearts. Thank you for the blessing that your example provides to me.

Oh you HAVE to watch this live at the Grammys. Got a standing ovation. I only listen to that version now. It’s soooo amazing. Even more emotional. !!!! The Story is great by her. Also if u like this Americana/Roots genre you will also love Jason Isbell. Cover Me Up and If We were Vampires r 2 wonderful songs by him!

Great reaction, another uplifting song, about peace and harmony that is right up your guys lane is AQUARIUS/Let THE SUNSHINE IN The song came out in the late 60s and became like a rallying cry , sung by Billy Davis and Marilyn McCoo, who some 50 years later are still happily married and still making great music.

What a unique voice. I really, really like Brandi Carlile. Never heard her before. What a great song for today. We rarely take the time to understand that *everyone* has experienced pain, fear and loss and we should help each other get through it. That's the Golden Rule in action.

This song reminds me of something that one of my mentors drilled into me: People will forget your name, forget where they met you and forget the details of any conversation that you had, but they will never forget the way you made them feel." Words to live by.

Brandi is one of the greatest humans ever. Not only is her music stunning, but her charity work and advocacy work is beautiful.

I have never heard that song. Thank you for reacting to it. I am dyslexic and have been told many times that there’s things I can’t do, that I would never succeed. My Dad told me to never listen to them. My parents believed in me and that is all I needed. I am now a college graduate, Economics degree with a minor in Chemistry. The joke is on them.

I adore Brandi Carlile's work. And this song is one of the most beautiful & emotional that I've ever heard! Thank you guys!

Check out Brandi’s performance of this song at the 61st Grammy Awards. The crowd is stunned by her energy and passion.

Your children will not have to face that alone, because you both are wonderful parents …….your children are blessed they have you.

So glad you finally got around to hearing Brandi. Her voice is so powerful. Agree with all the others who say you must also listen to The Story.

I've been following Brandi Carlile since the release of "The Story" in 2007. It took too long for Brandi to get the recognition that I felt she merited (as well as "The Twins"). I still recall her live performance of this on the Grammy Awards a few years ago. It was powerful! She and The Twins have written and performed so many great songs. A good next reaction would be "The Story."

A ballet of music and emotions painting a picture of life's difficult times. Her ability to pull it altogether at the end is genus.

Brandi is part of a “supergroup” called “the highwomen”- they did a song by the same name. It is an answer to/new version of the “highway man” song done by “the highway men” ie Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, & Willie Nelson. If you haven’t heard the original, I highly recommend it, along with the new version by the ladies!
