EMOTIONAL!.| FIRT TIME HEARING Brandi Carlile - The Joke REACTION

Very emotional song! I love this! People judge others and it isn't our place to judge anyone! We should just love them for who they are!

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.

Brandi just paid tribute to Joni Mitchell at the Kennedy Center Honors a couple of weeks ago. A master paying tribute to a master. Its nice to see you guys listen to a contemporary artist.

THANK YOU. I’m a nerdy gay guy and this song perfectly describes how it felt growing up. Brandi is the next Joni Mitchell and a real deal treasure. I knew Amber would cry. Amazing live standing ovation performance from the Grammys. Much love to you both.

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.

That is one of the best songs I have ever heard. She's up there with John Prine and Randy Newman and Joni Mitchell and Townes Van Zandt in pure songwriting and lyrical ability.

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 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.

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 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! Since it’s what really put them on the map back in 2007.

Beautiful absolutely. Wouldn’t expect anything less from Brandi. Listen to The Story next

So, so, SO glad you're finally getting to Brandi! But I'm sure I'm not alone in recommending that you do "The Story" next. There's a moment in that song (and everyone who knows it knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about) that'll make your jaw drop and your eyes go buggy. It's one of my favorite songs of all time, and it deserves all the accolades it's gotten.

Her Grammy performance of this song was next level🔥

Love her!!! So overlooked for more ""commercial"" songs with studio enhancements!!! She is simple & pure!!! If this song doesn't affect you - you have no SOUL!!!!! Truth is what we need these days!!! This song is pure truth!!!

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.

I rarely comment because it is usually redundant, but this is why I love you both. Thank you for your hard work putting these videos together.

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

This song is so beautifully done with such a wonderful message and really hits emotionally. Your comments are heartfelt and appreciated. Thank you so much!❤

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