[pklongbeach]

I just checked. Yes, it is on the West Coast.
Primetime Baby!!

 

[thunder92]

cool its on youtube!!!
she did a great job even though i dont know that song

 

[pklongbeach]

So what time in the hour does she come on?

 

[teesharky]

About the halfway point. Brad and Kid Rock are before her.

 

[pklongbeach]

Instant Karma (All Shine On) John Lennon.
It was a signature song for him.
Don't know why she sang it.
It must have been a request from one of the Bushes.

 

[Gator]

So what time in the hour does she come on?

According to the itme on the YT vid - it should be 25 mins past the hour.

Also wanted to mention that the Kennedy Center band was absolutely fantastic!

 

[jeff]

I bet he asked after the performance if he could still hire interns lol. J/K I couldn't help that one.

was thinking of saying that but thought someone else would

Here is John's version:

Here's Carrie's version:

 

[CarrieFan_01]

Edit Don't want anyone to take my comment the wrong way, lol.

 

[hjj]

There are many people that recorded this as a cover on Itunes. She did great on this song as usual.

 

[teesharky]

I think I actually prefer Carrie's version--- but I love John Lennon too and love his version alot too. John has a great voice obviously. But I think Carrie is a slightly better vocalist. However John has a great charisma and connects with the song in a very meaningful way. John is a legend so it is hard to find any flaws in his performance either. He does have a great voice, but Carrie is...well...Carrie. lol

^ yes I loved the house band tonight. They are fantastic. Loved their outfits too.

 

[teesharky]

Ps why is Yoko Ono knitting in the background next to John while he is singing? confused. lol

and what the heck is she wearing over her eyes? lol

What do you mean? Does anyone have an MP3 of her performance?

 

[carriefan2000]

Carrie has a vast knowledge of the songs out there, i think she wanted to sing something that haden't been covered in a while. Plus the song fits the event well. Why do people have such a hangup on it being a John Lennon song? She sang trouble by Elvis and nobody cared. People need to stop viewing Lennon's songs as sacrosanct 31 years after his death; its awesome that people are covering them.

 

[teesharky]

^ agree. I think he would be flattered that people are still singing his songs, especially at an event celebrating volunteerism and helping mankind.

 

[hjj]

What do you mean? Does anyone have an MP3 of her performance?

I meant other people have recorded Instant Karma and are on Itunes so it has not been untouchable.

 

[pgk]

I love Carrie's song choice. It's appropriate for the event. She delivers it beautifully.
