She has a lot of great songs, but my favorite is (the joke) wow what a song.

The Joke live performance at the Grammys - one of the best ever....

I first heard this song in 2007 and fell immediately in love. She gets better and better, so check out more of her stuff, especially The Joke at the 2019 Grammys

How does anyone who thinks they know music not know Brandi and her Grammy performance?

Incredible songwriter and vocalist. She's going up an entire octave there...and still singing comfortably. For most singers to get that high, they would bottom out into vocal fry when they came back down low, but Brandi can sing in the basement as well.

Listen to her song “ The Joke”. Fantastic song.

Brandi is a master of placing breaks in her voice that evoke so much emotion. She is fantastic!!!! Her and her bandmates do superb 3 part harmonies. I’m sure it’s been comments a bunch, “The Joke” Grammy performance, is a must

She’s the only singer I’ve ever seen be able to make her voice crack on purpose

You gotta do “That Wasn’t Me” - the lyrics with her vocals just cuts so deep. I love Brandi.

One of my very favorite artists of all time.

Pride and Joy live at Red Rocks. It’s a journey.

She is a true phenom! Just blows the walls off everything🔥

This song was featured in an episode of Grey's Anatomy. - Season 7, Episode 18. It is sung by Sara Ramirez who also has a tremendous voice. the original air date was on March 31, 2011. This episode was a musical event where there were several songs presented.

Sara Ramirez from Grey's Anatomy absolutely kills this song

This is one of those songs that can just break your heart. Her vocal quality in this - from the lyrical high notes, to the growly rasp, to the break in her voice - literally makes it sound like she's crying at times while singing the song. I can't think of anyone who pulls this quality off as well as she does, it is a distinction she carries by herself. Pretty cool.

This was almost my wedding song. Still played at our wedding. Powerful performance and song.

LOVE Brandi and loving your hair

Oh she’s very intentional with that voice of hers. This was the first song I ever heard from her (the studio version…which is worth checking out just to compare how insane her live version is) and I was in love immediately too! There are so many beautiful surprises in her music and this song highlights them well. What a joy! Please react to more ❤️

we are so fortunate to live in a time when so much talent abounds, what a monster vocalist this girl is

Right on Time amazing song. She's doing alot of duets too

One of my favorite Brandi Carlile songs - "The Joke". Love to hear a reaction!

I've seen Brandi perform live, twice. She's an amazing talent, and any song of hers you choose will be equally as good as this one!

"The Joke' is a must hear for Brandi Carlile.

You must watch her performances from Howard Stern of "The Joke" and "Madman Across the Water"

Been following my fellow Washingtonian with the beautiful voice for about 20 years now. She is hauntingly talented.

Her voice is like a freakin freight train, with all the power and whistles, and then she can lure you in with whispers.

I love Brandi, great singer songwriter. She put out an album where she had singers cover some of her songs, & she asked Dolly Parton to cover this song, you need to react to that.

She does a great duet with her wife with this song. It’s profound listening to them sing to each other. 💜

Despite being from Seattle, I think that's a Country twang that you're hearing. As I understand it, her parents were musicians who, through whatever twist of fate, knew many of the top Country artists well enough to have them to dinner when they were "in town," so Brandi grew up, sitting in her living room and pickin' and grinnin' with the likes of Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and Kris Kristofferson, among others. It makes sense. I mean, she clearly has a very deep well to draw from for both her performing and for her songwriting. Of my top ten all time favorites are "Dreams," "Turpentine," "The Story," and "The Joke." And I absolutely love how she is profoundly and unapologetically 110% her true and authentic self. Her songs and who she is have both inspired me and helped me through some hard times. I would not be who I am today without her (and the twins). Consistent excellence, year after year after year and, hopefully, for many years to come.

I just found this recently too. Absolutely captivating ❤

Great song, simply a great song.

Thank you Britt. Love Brandi, she is an amazing person and a fabulous artist . You will love her

Thank you for reviewing Brandi Carlisle, such an incredible voice and an incredible woman.

This song means so much to me. My children don't understand why I am who I am. Like you said scars seen and unseen. I really want to tell them Dad's story. And you made it better because you my friend are beautiful! I watch this everyday! Ty

i saw her live in Philly, shes amazing. i love her songs "that wasn't me" and "the joke". she does a great cover of "creep" by radiohead. She was touring at that time with Ray Lamontagne another great artist you should check out he has great songs as well "Trouble" and "Shelter" just a tip of the iceberg.

Haha, you're reaction to her voice "break". I listen to Brandi because she can do it so well. She's amazing. Please react to more of her material. Love your channel!

I can't believe after that reaction you haven't come back to her again! Pride and joy is my fav! 😀

What a fabulous singer!! Have always enjoyed her

Saw her live opening for Hanson many years back and was blown away. Love this song! Still have an autographed copy of her ep somewhere. Fantastic singer!

Her cover of Leonard Cohen’s Halley Hallelujah is to die for. Love the break into yodel.

Love finding new reactions to Brandi on KZread. Can’t wait to watch her at The Gorge on Friday! My Fav ❤.

I love this song and you’re reaction was DAF!

Love Brandi. (That wasn't a key change, btw, it was just a higher note. There are no key changes in this song.),

Great reaction Brit. Hope you and family are doing well.

When Brandi makes that octave leap, that's when I really feel all the emotion and grit she is putting into this song. Just heart tugging! Another singer in the same class (at least to me) is Chantal Kreviazuk. Listen to her sing Feels Like Home from the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. You will NOT regret it!

You should watch her do her song "the joke" on Howard Stern! it's equally impressive to this!

Her singing it on the Grammys is even better. The world sat up and took notice.

This song was sang in Grey's Anatomy sung by the cast mostly Sara Ramirez ❤

Great reaction. Would love to see you react to her cover of Elton John's Madman Across the Water at Non-Comm 2018. My favorite Elton John song, covered in a great way.

Saw her on New Years Eve 2022. Amazing

The joke and turpentine are my favorite songs of hers

i like the way you say "it's true" ;)

Brandi is a rocker at heart. The breaks, growl, and rawness.

FINALLY! NATALIE MERCHANT next

she is fantastic! i love her!

Oh that's so great that you reacted to Brandi! Remarkable singer and performer! I was very fortunate to have seen two electrifying concerts of Brandi's at the House of Blues in Chicago in 2007 and again in 2009, before she hit it real big, and was able to meet and speak to her afterwards and get a photo with her. Here's one of my absolute favorite songs of hers that I have on my own KZread channel, "What Can I Say" (live). kzread.info/dash/bejne/nK2DrpR9e9WZnM4.html

Beautifully awesome and epic, absolutely love this ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🔥🔥💋💋 and the message 💙💙🫂🫂💎💎

Brandi is a master at songwriting ❤ AND fun fact, Leann Rimes also did a cover of this on her Remnants album ❤❤❤❤❤❤

kzread.info/dash/bejne/nKydzteJg9Cndps.html This video features Brandi and is just wonderful. Joni Mitchell wrote this song in her early 20’s; now in her late 70’s it’s so much more poignant. Joni lost her ability to sing after a medical issue but was able to perform again at this festival last year. Everyone was emotional and it’s so beautiful to see.

Brandi is close friends with Pearl Jam. Please react to some of their songs. Give Come Back a try. Not a song played every day but beautiful. By the way, I'm amazed how your voice can match some of these amazing singers.

her cover stories album where adele ,,, dolly and others cover her songs all proceeds go to charity ,,,,, dolly covers this song on that album ,,, brandi's duet with sam smith is amazing,,,, also a member of a super group the highwomen brandi maren morris natalie hemby and amanda shires

Leanne Rhymes sings it too, she put it on her album (while she was going through a divorce etc)

Called The Joke...😊❤

🎼🤍🤍🔥🤍🤍🎼 sweet share Britt .. Brandi is a very special artist. Great choice today.

Brandi is an amazing writer and the only artist that comes close to her talent is Angelina Jordan. Brandi is who Angelina will grow up to be

A must see is anything Brandi on CMT live performances.

Britt....LeAnn Rimes sang this on The Masked Singer when she was on there as the Sun. You should give it a listen. She did amazing! Every song she sang was amazing and she won as well. By the way, Brandi jump started Tanya Tuckers career a couple years ago. Have you checked Tanya out? A good one to start with is "Bring My Flowers Now" which Brandi wrote for Tanya and she is in the video.

Aunty Dolly covers this song as well Britt !!

Mmm... Saw Brandi (which, weird fact: yes it is her name, but she's not a solo act; Brandi Carlile is also the name of the band she formed with the Hanseroth twins (the bald guys on bass and guitar): early on, they agreed everything was split 3 ways between them) in March 2020. COVID scared away half the people who had bought tickets, then the lockdown happened, and they wound up being the last show I saw for a year and a half. This one turned up 1/3rd of the way through the set, and those vocals that flipped you out brought a standing ovation at the end of the song, so not a bad moment to go out on... You want more that'll blow your mind like that, I suggest "The Joke" or "Broken Horses."

Please do The Joke-the live version. I beg you!

The Joke, at the Grammys. 😢

Now do Roy Orbison's "Crying" as covered by K. D. Lang. You won't be sorry.

The beautiful song that Phil Hanseroth (one of the twins in the video) wrote has a melody that descends quite a bit from the beginning to the end. Brandi does a masterful job of changing octaves at strategic points, except for the last verse, where she lays into the highest part at the beginning in the upper octave. Also, from hearing her perform this before, she sounds like she has a bit of a cold. Try another performance and I'm pretty sure you'll hear what I mean, but she has the talent and experience to get through the performance anyway. And add another recommendation for "The Joke". Personally, I like the official video over the Grammy performance. The sound is better, and she films with a group of people who represent all the various people she is singing about and for, and it's essentially anyone who has ever been looked down on or dismissed as something less, and it is one powerful outflow of empathy and emotion.

You have to do The Joke!!!

Did you do theatre?

You think this is good, wait 'til hear her do 'The Joke' at the 61st Grammy Awards. O.M.G.

You may find this un interesting. Look at Yodeling. The way the break in pitch AND octaves. It is a European style of singing.

Have you reacted to Brandi Carlile The joke yet

LeAnn does a gorgeous version of this song also

Bring ANY of those R'n'B scale-flickering songstresses. Brandi is better than all of them...

Another person you should all be aware of is K.D. Lang. Brandi is NO SLOUCH and deserves all the attention she gets. Ms. Lang just has another unique style that you should check out . Just sayin.

I really really wish you reacted to the studio versions first before you check out the live versions. There are a few exceptions where the live is better, Queen is a very good example. But for the most part the first impression of a song is better with the studio version. This is a very very good live performance though, but still. You also pause at strange times and it kinda ruins the flow imo lol. Especially the part at 4:55.

Your hair grows fast.
