Well...Reba joined Brooks and Dunn on stage to sing their song "Cowgirls Don't Cry" and after a minute or so into the song is when her mic was finally turned on! It probably wasn't even that long, but it sure felt like forever! She was mostly just singing back up, but it would of been nice to hear her!

Aw yeah that had to suck

And Kelly can probably relate very well considering the fiasco that was her Orange Bowl performance a few years back

Thanks for explaining what happened.

Best Country Show of 2008: Kenny Chesney

Quote:

Best Country Show of 2008:

It was another healthy year for country music in Pittsburgh and beyond with big stars and packed houses on hand to cheer them on.

1. Kenny Chesney Poets & Pirates Tour Caravan (Heinz Field, June 14): This town loves Chesney -- and he loves them right back. His blue-collar sensibilities and work ethic fit here perfectly. Fans come to rock and he delivered it straight on. Add A-listers LeAnn Rimes and Keith Urban to the bill and it was the country music event of the year. (Rosa Colucci)

2. Brad Paisley (Post-Gazette Pavilion, Aug. 17): Paisley is one of the best guitarists in country music and he showed his skills throughout, even tossing in a video duet with B.B. King. West Virginians invaded the place for the hometown boy and he even treated them to "Country Roads." (Tony Jovenitti)

3. Dolly Parton (Benedum Center, April 22): From her spot-on band, to the backdrops and video clips to her personal collection of rhinestone-encrusted musical instruments (including a white-baby grand piano) it was a "Dolly-style dream" in every way. The real star of the show was that incomparable voice. (Colucci)

4. Tim McGraw (Post-Gazette Pavilion, July 6): McGraw's show, loaded with No. 1 hits, was special because it was the last show of his tour, and he pulled out all the tricks. He had special guests, pranks, and the crowd was up the entire time. (Jovenitti)

5. Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire (Mellon Arena, Oct. 17): Stylistically, it kept ping-ponging back and forth between pop-rock and country (and Reba should have shied away from some of Kelly's tunes), but there was no questioning the blend of their voices, which harmonized gorgeously. (Scott Mervis)

that's very cool that they are in the top 5!

**DanceWithLife** · 04-03-2009, 10:41 PM

Just because I think this picture is awesome.

MirageDurb · 04-04-2009, 11:41 AM

That is an awesome picture! It's so fun seeing how excited and impressed Reba is about Kelly too.

**DanceWithLife** · 04-04-2009, 07:45 PM

It really is. And it says a lot about Kelly and her talent that her all time Idol is also in awe of her.

And this is just adorable

DARKNESSBALL · 04-08-2009, 02:56 PM

that is so cute!

Who knew pop star Kelly Clarkson would be an inspiration to country legend Reba McEntire?

When the pair toured together last year, McEntire says she learned a lot from the younger singer - so much, in fact, that the pop star inadvertently inspired songs on McEntire's upcoming album, Keep On Loving You.

"When she was doing songs like 'Miss Independent' and her other hits, it was like, Wow!" McEntire told TheBoot.com. "I had more of an open mind when I listened to songs this time. I seemed to gravitate to sassy women's songs with an attitude."

As a result, the unlikely duo ended up writing tunes together, though McEntire says none of them made it onto her new album. "I'm gonna hold on to some of them and we're still working on some of them," she says, adding that Clarkson may put a song on her album as well.

And, the country star admits that some of the new material proved to be a vocal challenge in the studio. "When I'm attempting to hit what Kelly Clarkson hits, that does take you to a different place!"

Q&A with Reba McEntire

Quote:

Bankrate: What was your last big splurge?

Reba McEntire: I bought Kelly Clarkson a really pretty diamond and sapphire ring. I wanted to give her something as a remembrance of our tour. So my latest big splurge was on a friend, not on me. Oh, I don't need a thing, really.

MirageDurb · 07-03-2009, 06:02 PM

That was very sweet of her. I'm sure Kelly really appreciated it.

**DanceWithLife** · 07-03-2009, 09:45 PM

I agree, it's a very sweet gesture.

I just love how Reba seems to have become as big of a fan of Kelly's as Kelly is of her.

**♥SweetBettyRose♥** · 07-04-2009, 08:53 AM

I love their friendship it's very sweet and special.

In this video of Reba, she mentions that she learned a lot by watching Kelly pick her songs for AIEW. She says it taught her a few things about her own song picking process.
