Find someone who looks at you the way Luke looks at Tracy. This entire amazing performance you can tell how much he loves, appreciates, and respects her.

I've looked at Tracy Chapman like that since I first heard Give Me One Reason in about 1994-ish. I feel the same way today.

You can just tell he was so excited and scared to be on the same stage as her. He has the ultimate respect for Tracy.

Tracy wrote a perfect song, literally not a single note or word could be changed to make it better. What got me with this performance was her reaction to the crowd, it seemed like she was genuinely surprised that she is so beloved. I literally can't watch without bawling my eyes out.

She is Beloved. By many People. You could FEEL her Happiness and Surprise at the Audiences reaction to seeing Her. Because they are not just an Audience, they are FANS. Every one of them, it seemed to me.

This is Luke's favorite song. He performed it in his concerts long before he put it on an album. He has so much love and respect for the song he doesn't change the gender words when he sings it.

The back story to this song is interesting. Tracy usually destroys ppl who use this song. She didn't with Luke, there is a level of respect both ways between them.

This is such an incredible performance. The look on Tracy’s face on that huge stage with massively successful artists singing HER song. As you point out, Luke so clearly soaking in every moment. This is a timeless song and a timeless performance. I think this one will be remembered for years to come. Great job, Jen. I love this one! ❤

Another great reaction Jen. ( as always ) This was an incredible performance & gave me goosebumps also. Just something from left field Jen… Amira’s new video just out “Down From His Glory”. This is a duet, compiled with Amira in Sth Africa & him in the USA. Would love your expertise reaction on this one. Cheers Graeme

In the lead up to this performance they showed a video of him and how he had a hit with this song, which seemed an unlikely thing for the country charts. In the video he described this had been one of his favorite songs since he was a kid, how he would sing along to it every time he heard it. I thought it was just going to be him performing it, there was no hint she was going to be on stage with him until, well there she was. Like him, most of us have sung along to songs we love. Imagine being able to do that with the actual artist. It would be surreal. So when he was mouthing the words even when it wasn’t his turn to sing it was so clear he was drinking in every moment of what was obviously an amazing experience for him. Someone else used the term "fanboy" which I think pretty much sums it up. It's kind of adorable how happy he is.

I love how this was supposed to be "his moment" at the Grammy's, but he made absolutely sure that the spotlight has always been on Tracey. When i first heard that he had done a cover of this song, i was super dubious since this song has meant so much to people, and he as a white straight man singing a song written and sung by a lesbian black woman. But when i saw an article about his absolute admires her, and he has taken steps like this one to not just include her, but make it "her moment" it's absolutely adorable and to be respected. When you used the term smitten, you were right on the money!

I watched the Grammys the night they aired & got teary when I saw her and the crowd’s reaction. Chills still when watching the video.

I have loved Tracy's music since I first heard her on the radio and then bought her first album the summer of 1988!

I've watched this performance at least a dozen times, and I've cried every time. The subject matter of the song combined with Tracy's long absence from the stage and Luke's admiration for Tracy and her brilliant music to create an emotionally loaded performance that gets me every time like it's the first. Thank you, Jen, for your beautiful reaction!

Thank you!!

The best part of this whole incredible performance is that look of pure joy, especially early on, on Tracy's face...Brings tears....Also kudos to Luke for very intentionally taking a "back seat" in their Fast Car performance.

Great reaction!! How anyone wouldn't get the warm feels from this is beyond me! I've loved this song since it first came out in 1988 - Tracy's storytelling, simple guitar lines & beautiful voice always captivated me (as did the whole album). While I'm not a country fan, I admire and like Luke's version - and that it's breathed new life into a great 'old' song! This collab at the Grammy's was perfection! It was talked about prior how wonderful it would be for them both to sing it - they weren't wrong! Indeed, you can tell how star struck Luke is - his admiration and respect for the 'creator'. Kudos to him to let Tracy shine! He could've taken the spotlight as it's 'his' version that's current, but no, he took a back seat and perfectly complimented where needed. The arrangement was beautiful - as was Tracy! Cheers.

This performance moves me so much! It really is the respect and admiration! I’m literally in tears.

My friend Larry Campbell laying violin on this. Quite a surprise to see.

He played on the Tracy’s original recording if I recall correctly.

Thank you for covering this. One of the BEST performances at the Grammy Awards ever. Great coverage Jen!!

You could see how happy Luke was to be performing with this legend that made such an amazing and well loved song. And I’m sure he was pinching himself that the moment could even happen. As well as Tracy getting to perform her most famous song and its resurgence. Everyone in that audience was treated to something very special

What I love about this is that these two people could not be more different…but that is only what your eyes tell you. The reality is that nearly all of us are the same at our core…we just want to have a good life, make enough money to take care of our loved ones and live in a kinder world.

I have loved this song since it first came out. I was watching the Grammys and jumped up with excitement when I realized Tracy was playing the guitar! Luke loves this song. You can tell that he is honored that she is singing it with him on the Grammy stage.

Tracy & Luke gave us a gift...Enjoy the GIFT!

I love their humility.

Enjoyed your comments and subscribed. Have loved Tracy since she came on the scene. subscribed.

i just love to clean sound of that acustic guitar. I also love both versions of this song in particular even if its a sad song.

I grew with her music and her songs especially this one 🎵 always have a special spot in my heat ❤

i think this performance was a bit of a dream come true for luke.

This song gets me back to time when I was still a student and listened it a LOT! Nice to see new generation of listeners finding it (like my son). Thanks for yet another nice analysis. Btw why are there often small "cracking" sounds in your videos, are they on purpose or because of some technical issue?

Thank you for this. Beautiful

Enjoying this - very lovely where it sits

The story is Fast Car was Luke's favorite song as a kid, and he sang it routinely as a cover on tour... one way or another got convinced to release it to radio, and ended up smashing the country charts, and winning numerous awards, including one credited directly to Tracy Chapman at the CMA's. So then Luke gets invited to sing at the Grammys... and he's got an idea and takes a chance... contacts Tracy and says it would mean the world to him to sing Fast Car as a duet with her leading. Keep in mind, Tracy Chapman hasn't performed anywhere in nearly 2 decades, going completely out of the spotlight. Sure enough the Grammys roll around and the audience gets the surprise of their lives... which you just watched. As far as I can tell, it wasn't rehearsed, and nobody but Luke knew she'd be there. As you know... there's power in music... and my goodness you could feel this in your soul, and as if that wasn't enough to make you cry tears of joy, the story behind how this even came to be is just beautiful!!! Take care, my friend!

also love that you can see that Luke Combs is fanboying out here

he tells the story of why he recorded this song. It was his favorite and he remembered his dad playing it when he was around 5. Said it had been his favorite song ever since. He was totally in awe of Tracy and you could totally see a dream coming true for him.

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

Poor Luke.. he was fanboyin bad😂.. but WHo wouldnt its Tracy Chapman for cryin out loud😂

Its definitely interesting the difference between their 2 styles, Luke brings his country twang to the table

you should check out Luke Combs "where the wild things are"

I love this though i didn't care for the country-ification that Combs add to it, but that reference for the song and the artist just shines through.

Please watch her interview with rosie O'Donnell about the Muppets it's precious

Oh man, Tracy's Folk Music carried me through the 90s. So glad to see her getting some recognition. Luke Combs did well too. But please, everything is not about Taylor Swift, cameraman.

Can you do something from Leonid & Friends

Ah Tracey. Youth sentiment

I was in middle school when (or maybe slightly after) the original came out. I recall specifically because there was a nationwide songwriting contest, which was going to be judged by Tracy Chapman. (I entered; I definitely did not win.)

Interesting bringing up Cyrus. She and Chapman have similar adrygonous voices.

Halloo, please reaqtion perfomance Ziva-listen Tiara-I surrender

13:24 Translation: They stayed in their own damn lanes Lol!

you given lessen to treac?!?!

This song is from 1988

6:42 She singing His body's too young to look like his not His body's too young to look like this... I know nothing about singing but i know that!!!

Taylor Swift is trying to be the center of attention in that brief segment… she adds nothing

The camera went over to her, dude. She didn't beckon it over. There's a recording of the show from the back and you can see the cameraman turn and look at the crowd, see her and go over to her. She's just enjoying the song like we are, buddy.

Please stop talking and truly enjoy this perfect duet.

You ruin it by talking too much. And it's not "Body too young to look like this" - It's "Body too young to look like his". You can't even get the lyric right!

guy is superfluous ...
