You will love the original from 1973 by Vicki Lawerence whose husband at the time wrote the song for Cher but was turned down by Sony Bono. Vicki a member of the legendary cast of The Carol Burnett Show,recorded it this has become one of the greatest one. hit wonders
Yes Vicki’s version was better.
The original version was done by Vicki Laurence and was better. No video with schmaltzy voice over. It left it to your imagination to fill in the blanks.
@@qvmarlins3506I agree.
I don't usually like remake song, but both are really good, Reba never destroyed it like I feel most remakes are. I give Vickie and Reba thumbs up. This was a one hit wonder for her and Reba did her and this song good.
As much as I luv Reba, Vicki's version will always be my favorite!!!❤
A lot of reba's videos, especially early on, were mini movies set to music. Some people like it, some don't. She's very theatrical even in her live shows.
I saw a Vince Gill interview and he was talking about the "Heart Don't Lie" song and he said "Oh great she's going to want to do a video" lor something along those lines lol
Saw her live...puts on helluva show
If you haven’t already, the video version of “Does He Love You?” Is OUTSTANDING! My favorite!
They did the video this way... with dialog over the lyrics... because this wasn't a new song at the time. Every country music fan was very familiar with the Vicky Lawrence version. Plus, by the time this video was released the Reba version had been on the radio for quite a while.
Vickie Lawrence was on the Carol Burnett Show for the whole time that the show was aired on TV ... they loved her and she looked so much like Carol Burnett that she could have passed for her sister. Here is Vickie singing it in 1973. czcams.com/video/52JAjsUAINQ/video.html
Reba is a great country music star! She is the new coach on The Voice to replace Blake Shelton even though Blake can not be replaced in my eyes! Since we have to lose Blake, Reba is an awesome choice!
Fantastic song. I totally get the debate over live vs official video. I think it is good that you saw the video first, as it does fill in a few gaps, though maybe too directly. That said, you will really appreciate the song on it's own.
No gaps to fill. It's all in the lyrics.
The video is fine if you know the song, but it's out of sync with the story in the lyrics.
@@TEDodd I never caught on that the judge cheated with the wife too until I saw the video. I thought he was just one of those ones that wanted to shut the case, give the punishment, and didn't care if they had the right person as long as it worked on paper. The video changed my understanding of the story greatly.
@@chlupl that's not in the song. That was extra added to make the Judge look worse.
It was about corrupt small towns. The judge and sheriff being buddies, not investing and a shame trial.
Many miss that the brother was accused of killing his friend Andy, not Seth who was the guy Andy said his wife was cheating with.
And the video plot of Andy and the wife being killed together doesn't match the lyrics. And said she was with Seth. No implication that when he went home she was there.
Always bugged me that we don't hear what happened to Seth. Did the sister kill him too? Maybe when she killed the wife?
@@TEDodd I honestly NEVER realized that the person singing actually murdered them, I thought it was just a corrupt system that didn't care if they got the right person
@@kaiseremotion854 The whole last verse reveals the narrator is is the sister and she killed Andy and the wife.
----
Well, they hung my brother before I could say
The tracks he saw while on his way
To Andy's house and back that night were mine
And his cheating wife had never left town
That's one body that'll never be found
You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
Just listening to the song breaks your heart, but I like Reba’s mini movie.
The country queen 👑👑👑
Great reaction---I'm so happy you enjoyed it!!
One note: Nobody ever mentions it---and I'm sure you caught it, but I just waana make sure---Reba is the old lady, AND the young girl!!
This song is one of my favorites. You could make a whole movie from this song. Also love Reba, she is as sweet as she seems.
Reba is always fantastic. And she is fantastic live, but the video helps tell the story.
I'm glad you like her although once you've met she or Pake you wouldn't love her quite as much possible, I'm guessing, unless she's changed. Just being honest.😉
Vickie Lawrence was on the carol Burnettvshow and played many roles. She later was the mama in the show, Mamas Family. Yes, she played the old woman. Lol! She also did the song, That's the night the lights went out in Georgia. Very good singer
I love this with the video. Thanks for reacting to the video version.
I think seeing you sit there with your mouth litterally hanging open was the best I've watched in a while! 😂😂😂
Love this one. Great reaction thanks for sharing.Delilah by Tom Jones is another dark one.
Love, LOve, LOVE that song---and him!!
All of her songs are awesome! Reba will always be my queen
Vicki Lawrence hit in the 70's and Reba's hit in I think the 90's.
This is such a classic Reba song! Love it! ❤
The Reba version is a cover. Vicki Lawrence did the original version. The 2 verrsions have very different " Feels ". For me the Vicki Lawrence version feels more Blues / Jazz and Reba's more Rockish.
This 1 takes me back to my childhood! Listened to this all the time! ❤
Love your reactions
The look on your face when your brain broke was priceless. the moment you realized that she did!!!
I loved watching your reaction.
Reba, the greatest man I never knew
OMG! I literally checked to see if I had accidentally hit the button. lol when you paused at the end!
I've known this song for decades, but as they talked over the words I thought, Sebs needs to hear the words to understand it. But, you got it. It's not hard for those of us that know the song.
Seriously, the lights went out in GA last night. Or at least NE Atlanta. You have a fun channel.
You should Google Vicki Lawrence. She played Mama on "Mama's Family. A spinoff from the Carol Burnett show. She was also a huge part of Carol Burnett's show. I head that Cher was offered this song but Sonny didn't think it was up to her standards. IDK.
I have been waiting for you to experience this! Your reaction did not disappoint. It’s a lot to unwrap in a 4 minute song with the story overlay.
I can’t remember if you have reacted to them or not yet, but Reba has some other banging storytelling songs you should check out. The two that immediately come to mind are The Heart Won’t Lie and Is There Life Out There. She’s so good ❤️
Yeah, those are great picks, for her mini-movie vids!!
Don't forget "Fancy".
Had this on vinyl! Young Reba was fabulous!!
Gotcha!😊
Watch the Vicki Lawrence one.
Reba sings MANY GREAT SONGS.
Great song…another one of Reba’s best !! 😊The video is awesome!!
Thank you so much for looking up the lyrics! You never disappoint keep it up
Vicky used to act in shows like Mamas family and the Carol Burnett show along with several others
Off subject, but it's something I randomly remember when listening to Reba. In 1991, 7 members of her band and her manager were killed when the plane they were on crashed. Reba was supposed to be on the flight, but she wasn't feeling well, so she decided to stay overnight and join them the next day. As expected, it devastated her.
SEB! 😂 you can't pause YOURSELF that long! If you hadn't blinked 🤣
This was originally sung by Vickie Lawerence. Vicky Lawerence was on the Carol Burnett Show and later played Momma on Momma's Family.
Reba also appeared on Broadway in “Annie Get Your Gun.” I will try to get you a copy of one of her songs.
One of my favorites from when I was a kid. I was always a little sad that she didn't have one left for the judge, though
I agree with what you're saying about the video, because that's the one thing that bothers me...if you don't know the song well and you're watching a video that is playing out like a scene from a movie, It almost overpowers the vocals of the song and so you're struggling to try to understand what's going on because you're hearing somebody talking and you're also hearing somebody singing the song. For someone that is doing a reaction, it's almost better to hear the song first alone and then watch the video to it. When the song first came out it was super popular... everybody listened to it on the radio... heard the song and then later when the video came out it was easy to follow along and understand. I also agree that Reba is one of the best!! I've seen her in concert...I love her❤ that's the one thing about country music is the storyline is always so good and it paints a picture immediately in your head of what is happening... that's what draws you in❤
There was also a movie staring Dennis Quaid and Kristy mcnickels
Reba is the goat indeed.
Listen to it just the song.
Love Reba
Reba is absolutely one of my favorites… please also listen to Martina McBride “I’m
Gonna love you through it” and Trisha yearwood (garth brooks wife) in all her oldies
You just can't go wrong with Reba ✌❤🎶
Vicki Lawerence’s version (the original 1973) is still my favorite!
Reba is a brilliant story teller with an iconic string voice she is the queen hands down
Night the lights went out in Georgia is one my favorite movies
Another great story is Cocaine Blues by country star Johnny Cash, who himself had drug issues back in the day. Song immediately starts off hard so I suggest you listen/read the lyrics. Peace
Talking might distract a little bit but can't take anything away from how good Reba is acting out the part in the song.
Morale of the story, don't tick off Reba!!
Another great one by Reba is "Maggie Creek Road".
Vicki Lawrence looks so much like Crol Burnett. She played Carol’s sister in a lot of the skits.
Love Reba , looks , personality , talent. I named one of my beagles after REBA
I’m so sorry for your what he’s growing through…:
IMO, this song describes a story between the tight bond of family members and the lengths that one does for another.
This is exactly why life and death decisions belong to God.
It gets in the way of the song for sure …it’s such a great song
❤
This is a song best to listen to a lyric video first.
Carrie Underwood's Two Black Cadillacs is another one like this
A great country story song NEEDS the video..That's why they made it, to watch!!
Reba for you and the Mrs. ~ "He Gets That From Me"
"The Greatest Man I Ever Knew"
"Somebody"
All three of these should be done with the video
Yes!
Vickie Lawerence was on the Carol Burrnett tv show
🤯 I only know the original. I didn't know Reba did this song too! 🥰🐰
Kristy McNicol was a very busy child actress who transtioned into acting as an adult. Her lasy role was as Barbara in Empty Nest until circumstances led to her retirement.
Agree that Vicki's is great, tells the story... but Reba brings the drama / movie quality to it. Both good.
A country music country music.
Actually had a. Where it was sort of like the motown music, it was all good
Smooth singing group would be the Kentucky head. Hunter's Kentucky head hunters they got a video with this. I know the name sounds crazy but they're light back. White boys are they can sing and play I
I know
I'll the men they just love LOVE. Try she try
If you get on a train, you can get out, go to the confederate railroad😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
That made the confederate railroad is the group
Definitely made the right decision of watching the official video 1st!!!!!
The best solution to your dilemma would have been to listen to the original 1972 Vicky Lawrence version and then the current release by Reba McEntire.
❤ ✨
She’s great at story telling
Approximately 4% of people sentenced to death are innocent ... that doesn't seem like a lot until you consider how many people have been given the death penalty!!
Great reaction man!
Vicki Lawrence is the one who played Mama Thelma Harper in mamas family
Two Black Cadillacs by Carrie Underwood
Love you dude! You are the best!
That can only be done in country music
I used to see this video on CMT when I was a kid. I never understood what it was talking about. It was only later that I listened to the song a few times without the video that I got it. I think the video definitely detracts from the meaning of the song and adds confusion.
Reba is a good actress and does a lot of great "videos"...but this video definitely gets in the way of the song.
Damn I've never seen the official music video. It definitely gets in the way
So, I'll explain for anyone who doesn't understand. It definitely _is_ sort of confusing.
Raymond's little sister is the old woman telling the story. Raymond's little sister and his best friend, Andy (who worked in the bar) were engaged to be married.
Raymond goes to the bar that night to have a drink and Andy tells Raymond that his wife is sleeping around with someone named Seth Amos. However, Andy also admits to having slept with her as well.
Raymond gets pissed off and leaves the bar, and Andy gets scared and decides to go home as well. Meanwhile Raymond goes to his own home to get his gun and then goes to Andy's house to kill him, but when Raymond gets there he sees that his wife is there and that both she and Andy have been shot dead.
Raymond's little sister then walks in and that's when Raymond realizes that she was the one who killed his wife as well as Andy, so he tells her to run.
Raymond takes the blame to protect his little sister... but little sister tries to admit it to both the police and the judge that she was actually the one who killed her fiancé Andy, as well as her brother's wife because they were sleeping together. However, the judge wouldn't accept her confession, calling her "the grief stricken sister", and basically covering for himself because he just so happen to _also_ be sleeping with Raymond's wife and he didn't want anyone finding out, so he allowed Raymond to take the blame and sentenced him to be hung.
So... in a nutshell, Raymond's wife was just a great big hoebag! She was not only sleeping with the boy Seth Amos, she was also sleeping with Andy, as well as the judge.
I'm loving your reactions and comments to (The Night the Lights went out in Georgia) by Reba MacIntyre!❤
Omg...you should see it i person
Watch a version without the original video, and then watch this again lol
The judge and the lawyer also went to jail. Conspiracy, adultery, evidence tampering.
I had to beat up a few bullies that thought they could bully my brother, they were wrong.
Vicky Lawrence. Carol Burnette show alumni and Mama's Family
You should watch Does he love you by Reba to. It’s another darker song. I especially love her smile at the end of that video.
I prefer Vicki Lawrence's version.
Yeah quite a twist
What sad is people caught with drugs get more time than pedophiles
Ok, let the discussion start..
I'm not against the death penalty in theory. If someone has proven to be so harmful to society that they can't be released, then it is a just response. I don't agree with the practice, though. I don't trust government or the courts to always get it right.
The part of the song she talked over was a husband coming home from a business trip. His best friend tells him that his wife has been cheating on him with every guy in town and he was with her also. Then she (Reba as the old lady) said her fiance was messing with her too. The wife was sleeping with the judge too so that's why he wouldn't listen when Andy said he didn't kill her.
The fiancé was the best friend of I remember correctly, that’s why the sister went after Andy and the wife.
Death penalty is wrong often enough to keep it from being used. It's also cheaper just to keep them in prison.
I grew up hearing the original version without videos. The video doesn’t work for me. Too much going on and I had a different version in my head. You definitely need to listen again to just the song
If the video background of the song distracts you, find another version of Reba singing the song and listen to the song by-/itself.
Hey, I watch your videos, and I keep meaning to comment. I specifically wanted to see your reaction to Reba on this song. Bravo! I love watching the expressions on your face when the actual meaning of the song is revealed.
I wanted to ask you to watch another video of hers, "If I Were A Boy" partly because it is a visually beautiful video, and the lyrics cut right to my heart. I know, just from watching your channel, how much you love your wife, which is beautiful, and I know that this song will touch your heart. By the way, you are obviously not just a boy, Kudos, my friend.
When I went to CZcams to double-check the title of the song, I read that Reba has passed away. The video had only been posted for 30 minutes, so this is a fresh blow. There is an emptiness in my heart, It has been a rough two weeks, we lost Alan Jackson, Jimmy Buffett, and now Reba. I am 63 years old, and these are people who have been a part of my life for years. If you can react to this video, "If I Were A Boy" it would give me a little happiness in my sad corner of this world. If you do, keep your eye on the photographs on the walls. Either way, keep being the beautiful soul that you are, and hug that gorgeous wife of yours. Peace.
From what I can see from a quick Google search Jimmy Buffett is the only one of the three who actually passed.
@@michaelinthebathroom7560 I apparently clicked on a couple of videos yesterday that were trolling. I got caught, and I am here to apologize for not doing more research. It's been a rough week, again, my apologies to the Sebs and his followers.
@@WendyJoJohnston It's okay, as long as you know now that you were wrong and you admit it! That was the honest thing to do!
NEITHER Reba, nor Alan Jackson has passed-away. When you read something like that, immediately Google it---they post, every week, that Reba has died.
Edit: Whoops, I posted before I read the thread.
