Always loved the song. And Chapman. And Joan Armatrading.
I like this version better than the first.
Age is good. She’s even more attractive now, and sings even better.
That was really good. Could have done without Taylor Swifts big yap right in the middle.
One, the song was pretty good, well played and sung and performed, nice enough melody, rhythm etc..
Two, it was so maudlin and mawkish.
I always think of that when I hear the song
Me too.
I liked this song a lot when it came out. I even bought the cassette for my car. It’s a great song with a timeless message.
I had no idea it was covered and no knowledge of any controversy over it. Glad the two performers brought an implied message of unity to the performance. The country needs more shows of unity during these very divisive times.
Absolutely. I also love her "Give Me One Reason".

A better song, IMHO.
Doing their part to Make America Great Again. (I like the idea of the greatest of America not all depending on politics).
A great song, probably the best one hit wonder, and that is nothing against Tracy.
Two-hit wonder.

What was the other hit?
Never heard this song before so forgive me if I don’t get it. Nothing special about it, not to me at least. Why all the fuss? Some white dude comes along and covers the song. It wins a Grammy (like...so what) and now this performance is one of the greatest in Grammy history? And the song is great Americana? Oh well. I suppose it is far better than Rap and current Pop. Shrug.
Pretty cool.
Wow, Emily Yahr at the Washington Post is a real downer. Don’t invite her to the party, that’s for sure.
I do like ‘Give Me One Reason’ much, much better than ‘Fast Car.’
