McENTIRE RE-EVALUATES SONGS AFTER CELEBRITY TRIBUTE
Singer REBA McENTIRE was forced to re-think all of her hit songs after hearing them performed by country music's biggest talents during a tribute to her. The stars performed tunes in her honour for the upcoming Country Music Television's CMT GIANTS show airing Saturday (18NOV06) in the US. Among those performing were KELLY CLARKSON, FAITH HILL, MARTINA McBRIDE, LeANN RIMES and WYNONNA JUDD.
McEntire says hearing her colleagues perform her tunes "was odd, yeah, because I've been singing them all my life, it seems like.
"Now, for somebody else to come sing those songs, I thought, 'Gosh, I should have done it like that. I bet the songwriters wished you would have gotten that song first!' "I told Kelly Clarkson she now owns WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD FROM YOU. She sang the fool out of that one. I couldn't believe how much it was just a different song."
