Just came over from watching her do Barracuda in which she did a damn fine job........but this song she kicked right in the teeth!!!! Very impressive.....nobody on the planet can do that song better then she did right there. Heart in their prime was awesome!!!
Funny you should say that. The reason I landed here right now is because I was looking to see if there was another artist who would dare attempt this song. I saw Gretchen’s name and thought, “Yup, that’s who.”
This is the 3rd Heart song I have heard her cover and I think she does a fantastic job. She isn't trying to copy the original, she is doing the song in her own style while paying tribute to Heart (Ann & Nancy Wilson}. My favorite so far is her cover of Barracuda with Alice and Chains. She totally rocked that song!
Ann Wilson is Heart and her vocals are legendary. That said, there is not that much difference between Ann and Gretchen's ability to belt these classic soprano notes.
What a silky, yet powerful voice. Fantastic soprano, and the only voice that can come close to Ann Wilson. That is saying a lot about Gretchen! Well done! Barracuda with Cantrell and Nancy is still my all time favorite.
Gretchen is the only one to do Ann Wilson justice! She is fantastic!!! When she did Barracuda with Alice In Chains a while back I nearly passed out!! Amazing!!
Not a country fan, but ever since I saw Gretchen Wilson kill it covering Barracuda with Alice In Chains, I've been checking out more of her stuff. She's got one hell of a voice!
The first note kicked me in the chest and brought a tear to my eye. This woman's voice is almost as magical as Ann's. I'm an instant fan. Thanks, Gretchen.
I love Gretchen!!!! I call my granddaughter Gretchen, because she has an attitude like Gretchen!!! Love Ya Gretchen!!!! God bless Brimestone and Hank Jr. If you see this!!!!
GRETCHEN WILSON, missed her calling. She has to powerful of a voice to be singing country. She shoulda been Rocking. It's a shame, ppl don't give Record deals on who you are. Country music; ought to be blessed, to have Gretchen. Her vocal range; Is mind blowing. I love her voice, just like Anne wilson& Stevie Nicks. Top 3 in bad ass vocals, Women. Don't stop Rockin
***** I think she has a better voice than Ann Wilson did in her prime, and she completely rocked her cover of barracuda. That said, there is a reason people are covering Heart songs 30 years later. I really don't think Gretchen's original stuff is going to have the same longevity. No offense to the woman though, she has some amazing pipes.
Scott Reed respectfully, no way....although Gretchen has a damn strong voice that is not in question and while she is the best I've ever heard doing Heart songs there is only one Ann Wilson!!!!
Years ago I sang lead in a few rock cover bands. My bass player in one played in a cover band with Gretchen she fronted called Baywolf. They played the St Louis area for several years. RIP Jerry. You were one of a kind.
I have to admit, when I saw her in concert I was blown away by how powerful her voice was. The heart covers she sang gave her a great opportunity to show just how strong . 5'4 " stick of dynamite - incredible
Gretchen reaches the heart of every Heart's fan. She is fantastic, vibrant and carries Nancy and Ann's vibes like no one else in the past. Long live to Gretchen !!!! xxx
It’s not often I hear a Heart/Ann Wilson cover that impresses me. I love this rendition of the song and Gretchen, (John too), knocks it out of the park!!
I CLOSE MY EYES N THINK I'M REALLY LISTENING TO THE SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME ! WHAT AN AWESOME VOICE WHEN MS WILSON DOES BARRACUDA W/ALICE N CHAINS SHE KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK SO AWESOME
LoL Hey, Dave! I'm about 6 years tardy, my apologies. I agree with you about Ann sounding better than Gretchen when they sang together. But, in fairness, I've noticed that most of the times that I've seen a singer, or a musician, performing with their idols, they tend to hold back. Most don't want to get even close to out shining their heros.
Wow, I was skeptical before I watched this, but I love Gretchen so I thought I'd give it a listen.......she nailed it! That was awesome! This girl impresses me more every time I hear her, truly talented....
I'm not a huge country fan because of all the terrible country rip-offs of rock songs but I recognize a woman who sings with a fire and this was flawless. Very good job.
WOW! She actually sounds like Ann! That is amazing. I only knew she could sing like that because she sang Crazy On You with Heart at one of the awards shows years back. Seriously, this is the only version of a Heart song by someone else that I haven't hated!
arel3 Wrong. Ann Wilson is the lead singer of Heart. Her sister Nancy plays rhythm guitar and sings backing vocals and harmonies on the majority of their songs, but also has sang lead vocals on a few as well. This song was not one of them, however.
Dude. What the hell? Second Heart cover I've heard from her, and she's unreal. Hoping she knows just how much people love this. Honestly had no idea she was capable of vocals like this. Wow.😮
I'm not a big fan of covers as a rule, but I love it when a talented artist does there own take on a classic and yet somehow simultaneously play perfect homage to the original. Amazing.
Love the boots! A long time ago at a J. Giles concert Peter Wolf was wearing boots like that, cool! Great voice , hard to keep up with Nancy Wilson, good cover.
Yeah,, she should be in a Tribute Band ? Sure it's awesome how she covers Heart,but She is an Artist in her own right and THAT's what's going to define her,,if not,,she might as well go back to waiting tables...
Everyone should put Heart their bag of inspiration and tool kit. They were and still are genuine rockers. It's nice to see young artists in a different genre admit.... Hey I was inspired by HEART!
I've listened to Heart songs for about 50 years and this is about as good as someone can do it. 👏👏🤘
Just came over from watching her do Barracuda in which she did a damn fine job........but this song she kicked right in the teeth!!!! Very impressive.....nobody on the planet can do that song better then she did right there. Heart in their prime was awesome!!!
Gretchen Wilson is the first singer I've heard who can do justice to Heart's songs, aside from Ann Wilson, that is.
I said the same thing...WOW!!!!
That’s because she is their sister
That’s a fact!
Yup-because any time people have the same last name, that means they’re siblings. Especially rare & unusual last names like ‘Wilson’.
🙄
Funny you should say that. The reason I landed here right now is because I was looking to see if there was another artist who would dare attempt this song. I saw Gretchen’s name and thought, “Yup, that’s who.”
Holy shit. Amazing tribute. Not many can do Heart justice
This is the 3rd Heart song I have heard her cover and I think she does a fantastic job. She isn't trying to copy the original, she is doing the song in her own style while paying tribute to Heart (Ann & Nancy Wilson}. My favorite so far is her cover of Barracuda with Alice and Chains. She totally rocked that song!

You got that shit right!!!cAnn Wilson is the Queen of Rock!!!!
Sounds identical to me! Amazing
Ann Wilson is Heart and her vocals are legendary. That said, there is not that much difference between Ann and Gretchen's ability to belt these classic soprano notes.
What a silky, yet powerful voice. Fantastic soprano, and the only voice that can come close to Ann Wilson. That is saying a lot about Gretchen! Well done! Barracuda with Cantrell and Nancy is still my all time favorite.
Gretchen Wilson is so underrated it's disgusting.
If this performance doesn't give you goose bumps, check yourself for a pulse.
+Vegas Mayor goosebump check......houston, we have goosebumps...............
I just saw a 2007 vid of her singing "Barracuda" and she rocked. She sounds great here too....but she sure did gain some weight in one year.
No goose bumps bro
Great country singer great rocker. Super underrated.
Gretchen just OWNS this ! Congrats.
Gretchen is the only one to do Ann Wilson justice! She is fantastic!!!
When she did Barracuda with Alice In Chains a while back I nearly passed out!! Amazing!!
Seriously! I couldn't believe it wasn't Ann Wilson singing Barracuda!
rich655 ,
BRUH.....I just saw that video you was talking about... speechless!!!! And was just from watching the video😱
@@treniadavis5772 I need to go look for that now, lol.
Not a country fan, but ever since I saw Gretchen Wilson kill it covering Barracuda with Alice In Chains, I've been checking out more of her stuff. She's got one hell of a voice!
I have been a Heart fan for 35 years, and I have to say that this performance was Straight On....
DAYUM. You just did the best female rock vocalist alive justice. Take your place right next to her on the podium Gretchen. That was incredible.
The first note kicked me in the chest and brought a tear to my eye. This woman's voice is almost as magical as Ann's. I'm an instant fan. Thanks, Gretchen.
I love Gretchen!!!! I call my granddaughter Gretchen, because she has an attitude like Gretchen!!! Love Ya Gretchen!!!! God bless Brimestone and Hank Jr. If you see this!!!!
One of the most underrated vocalists out there in my opinion.
Real talk, Gretchen is the only singer to really do a Heart cover justice. So legit.
Takes some balls to attempt an Ann Wilson vocal and this lady pulls it off nicely.
Halestorm's cover All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You is pretty damn good!
Fergie rocked Barracuda pretty damn hard
Wouldn't say the only singer. Carrie Underwood does and awesome job with Alone.
Haha because she sounds so much like her mother, it's crazy that her vocal range surpasses mom's though.lol
She does a fantastic job singing Heart songs. Powerful voice and passion.
OMG I never in my life would of thought ANYONE was as good as Ann Wilson, I was wrong! My gawd she nailed it FOKKIN perfect!!!!!!!!!!
GRETCHEN WILSON, missed her calling. She has to powerful of a voice to be singing country. She shoulda been Rocking. It's a shame, ppl don't give Record deals on who you are.

Yep she is the best"! I love her ..but I think she just took some time out to be a 'Mom' for a while with her daughter
Wow, that was amazing! I bet that's one of the hardest songs, too. She NAILED it!
Only Gretchen has what it takes to do a 'Heart' song justice.........
Honestly, she did a fine job, but, respectfully, she's no Ann Wilson!

All heart and balls singin here! That's it. Im sold on Gretchen. Rock it, Kicked ass and Owned IT!!!
Years ago I sang lead in a few rock cover bands. My bass player in one played in a cover band with Gretchen she fronted called Baywolf. They played the St Louis area for several years. RIP Jerry. You were one of a kind.
Gretchen has an amazing and powerful voice.She rocks no matter what genre she's singing.Let's just be glad that she's letting us hear it.
I have to admit, when I saw her in concert I was blown away by how powerful her voice was. The heart covers she sang gave her a great opportunity to show just how strong . 5'4 " stick of dynamite - incredible
Never thought anyone else could do it....She does everytime. Awesome.
Gretchen reaches the heart of every Heart's fan. She is fantastic, vibrant and carries Nancy and Ann's vibes like no one else in the past. Long live to Gretchen !!!! xxx
ah man, she's got me roll'n goosebumps!..... if she's not blood related to the Wilson sisters she is indeed a Sister in Arms.
+Haley Sabai have you seen her cover of barracuda?
It’s not often I hear a Heart/Ann Wilson cover that impresses me. I love this rendition of the song and Gretchen, (John too), knocks it out of the park!!
I CLOSE MY EYES N THINK I'M REALLY LISTENING TO THE SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME ! WHAT AN AWESOME VOICE WHEN MS WILSON DOES BARRACUDA W/ALICE N CHAINS SHE KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK SO AWESOME
This woman is simply stunning in every way!
Damn Gretchen======You crushed it!! You are the real deal Best of luck.
Gotta agree with you. As good as Gretchen is when you hear her with Anne you see who the true queen is
LoL Hey, Dave! I'm about 6 years tardy, my apologies.
I agree with you about Ann sounding better than Gretchen when they sang together.
But, in fairness, I've noticed that most of the times that I've seen a singer, or a musician, performing with their idols, they tend to hold back. Most don't want to get even close to out shining their heros.
My all time favorite band- Gretchen you're a serious bad ass but country music claims you we love you !
That is what you call BANG On 💯👍✌️
Wow, I was skeptical before I watched this, but I love Gretchen so I thought I'd give it a listen.......she nailed it! That was awesome! This girl impresses me more every time I hear her, truly talented....
I'm not a huge country fan because of all the terrible country rip-offs of rock songs but I recognize a woman who sings with a fire and this was flawless. Very good job.
"Cover of the Music City News" for one,@countrygirl countrymusiclover
WOW! She actually sounds like Ann! That is amazing. I only knew she could sing like that because she sang Crazy On You with Heart at one of the awards shows years back. Seriously, this is the only version of a Heart song by someone else that I haven't hated!
She NEEDS to do a rock album!!! Gretchen has one of the best voices since Ann Wilson!
Love or hate Country music....This woman is the real deal...omg
There's a reason her last name's Wilson. Nailed it!
That women has some solid pipes really!
Gretchen Straight On nailed it !
No one covers Anne like this woman. She's amazing.
Grateful. Thank you.
What a set of pipes! Lord have mercy!
Holy shit!! She could sit in for Ann anytime and nobody would know the difference.
Few artists of any Genre can cover Heart. This incredible.
Loved it ! Not too many power singers can take on Hearts Ann Wilson but Gretchen really nails it !
It's NANCY Wilson. DUH!!! Your comment proves how aware you are (not at all!)
arel3
Wrong. Ann Wilson is the lead singer of Heart. Her sister Nancy plays rhythm guitar and sings backing vocals and harmonies on the majority of their songs, but also has sang lead vocals on a few as well. This song was not one of them, however.
Wow. Just amazing. It's just like listening to heart.
Love this Woman. She is a trailblazer with soul.
What can't she sing , amazing!
The babe has some serious talent in all genres!! Gorgeous and talented!
Dude. What the hell? Second Heart cover I've heard from her, and she's unreal. Hoping she knows just how much people love this. Honestly had no idea she was capable of vocals like this. Wow.😮
NAILS the vocals. Nice!
I like her singing this style so much better. Love it!
Damn fine cover. I sure wish Gretchen was recording original rock. Great pipes.
GRETCHEN WILSON....OMG SHE'S A STRAIGHT BADASS
Tough gig to cover Ann Wilson's vocals, but Gretchen is the best I've seen yet. She could cover any type of music with that voicebox!!
The first is is lo eoe please 999lw
Been a Heart fan forever - this was amazing and she really does channel Ann's voice. Great job!
Boy Ooo Boy,,
Gretchen's got my,
Heart...
Very Underrated..
What an amazingly powerful and beautiful voice. She's GREAT.
Very well done.
Goosebumps!
She is beautiful and amazing. Wow
I love the fact that she can absolutely tear this this shit a new one and she's a country singer , god bless
I'm glad shes the one to cover Heart. she definitely has the chops.
Her voice; it's simply incredible. When she wants to sound like Ann Wilson, you would almost swear it's Ann Wilson.
this gal can sing!!! she does Heart songs awesome. She's the REAL DEAL!!! :-)
god the power of her voice
one talented Illinoisy girl Nothing like a farm raised fun loving hardworking girl that hasn't sold out to the man
Damn... G... just nailed this
Few artists can cover Heart. Gretchen is an amazing country singer but she could just as easily have been a rocker.
Singer...notice the capital "S". Anne Wilson must be proud of Gretchen for being her equal.
nice. Love that song
Gretchen Wilson a cool gal ! Always a fan
I didn't know Gretchen could sing like this. I wasn't a fan before, but NOW I am. Wow! Yeah! Whoooo!!!! All RIGHT!
I'm not a big fan of covers as a rule, but I love it when a talented artist does there own take on a classic and yet somehow simultaneously play perfect homage to the original. Amazing.
I say this very talented woman needs to seriously think about doing an orginal rock album.......what a voice !!!!
Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!
She has Ann down!!! NOBODY does this better....except Ann herself. STUNNING!
Well said I agree Gretchen Wilson is awesome DAMN!!
Good Lord I love this Woman!!!
AMAZING!
Love the boots! A long time ago at a J. Giles concert Peter Wolf was wearing boots like that, cool! Great voice , hard to keep up with Nancy Wilson, good cover.
she kicks ass!
Fuck yeah Gretchen! Never seen you live but saw heart play this song and it was the best live song ive ever seen of 25+ shows!
She can bring it!
I really think Gretchen Wilson is amazing. She is all American,she could sing any style of music.
She should be doing this music full time :) just wonderful :)
Yeah,, she should be in a Tribute Band ? Sure it's awesome how she covers Heart,but She is an Artist in her own right and THAT's what's going to define her,,if not,,she might as well go back to waiting tables...
She sings just like Ann Wilson when doing Heart , Fantastic !
She’s straight fk n fire 🔥 of a vocalist
I don't know who this lady is but... YES.
The best heart version ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic,. her rendition of Barracuda is a killer,.like a young reincarnate of Ann
Love Gretchen she is fantastic

Everyone should put Heart their bag of inspiration and tool kit. They were and still are genuine rockers. It's nice to see young artists in a different genre admit.... Hey I was inspired by HEART!
LOVE Gretchen Wilson! This cover gave me GOOSEBUMPS!!! You go girl! ;3
