She is sooo good. Sometimes it bothers me she is not more mainstream and popular, but then again I prefer it to myself and the ones who follow her career, true and loyal to her craft and not a sell out singer.
Kristofferson has really written some beautiful songs over his long career, hasn't he.? And Joan does this justice! You can't beat the combo of a great song and a great singer.
Always thought of Joan Osborne as a one hit wonder with "One of Us" which was the opening for "Joan of Arcadia". But her version of "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends" is the best version by far. WOW!
Probably because she doesn’t write her own material? That’s all I can think of, as an interpreter of songs written by others she is without equal, and incredibly versatile.
She has something in common with Rita: real and genuine emotions that truly tells the sad story of a marriage breaking up. But she brings me an angle that makes her rendition equally compelling. Never really heard of her, yet such terrific country music girl.
Joan..I DJ'd your brother's wedding in Newport a few years back. I have come to value you in ways I did not when I met you. Shadows of Motown was a turning point. Hope all is well with you and your's....Jimmy Botticelli
Ronnie Milsap recorded a great version of this Kristofferson classic. But this is equally as good, in fact it’s absolutely wonderful. The backing vocalist with Joan, Dan Tyminiski, was in the bluegrass group Union Station with Alison Krause.
Of the probably four or five I can think of that do this Kristofferson song (including Kristofferson), she does it the best. And here I didn't know she could sing country songs.
@Xratti This is a Kris Kristofferson song!!! His demo version already is from 1969 or 1970. He also sang a terrific duet version with Rita Coolidge for their last jointing album "Natural Act" (1978)
@jeantuckertulk This isn't a Ronnie Milsap song!!! ... Kris Kristofferson wrote it, recorded a duet version with Rita Coolidge for their last jointing album "Natural Act" (1978), but his demo version already is from 1969 or 1970... and now it's mostly the final song at his concerts - this one or sometimes Why me (Lord)
Joan’s version is wonderful and very heartfelt. She is one of the most versatile singers out there, country, folk, soul, blues and rock, you name it and she will deliver.
The reason for the positive votes is that she does a great job on this song. She is a great singer. Millsap and others do well on it too. Because you didn't like it is no reason to use the term "destroyed."
+bob manning I find Milsap's version to be emotionally flat and rote compared to Osborne's really soulful version. She get's the angst. He sings the lyrics in tune.
It’s a Kris Kristofferson song. Milsap, like many other artists covered it. Joan’s version is superb, sung with true emotion. There is a reason why yours is the only negative comment, you need to take the 💩💩out of your ears.
Joan Osborne absolutely nailed this song.
Joan is a Hall of Famer in some musical category. Was the best over period of 12-14 years bfrom thelate 90s forward.
This is 2023. Never get tired of listening to her singing this song. It's the best rendition. Thank you. ❤
This is my favorite version...love it
Beautiful song. RIP Kris ❤
She is sooo good. Sometimes it bothers me she is not more mainstream and popular, but then again I prefer it to myself and the ones who follow her career, true and loyal to her craft and not a sell out singer.
She adds more to this song than I have ever heard before...she is wonderful...❤
Kristofferson has really written some beautiful songs over his long career, hasn't he.? And Joan does this justice! You can't beat the combo of a great song and a great singer.
beautiful version....best so far
She gives me chills when I listen to her voice I adore her talent
Joan can sing anything with heart and soul.
I wish she was more mainline, but love her more because she refuses to sell out
Bravo! The most talented female vocalist on the planet. I'd love to harmonize with this woman. Blessings to Joan and her family.
best ever version
...what a voice..
Exquisite cover of Kristofferson's song.
A beautiful lady & a beautiful song! Sometimes life is cruel and the ending is known too soon!
Ted
Unbelievably talented lady. So many albums of different styles - remarkable!
Another great singer from Kentucky.
Always thought of Joan Osborne as a one hit wonder with "One of Us" which was the opening for "Joan of Arcadia". But her version of "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends" is the best version by far. WOW!
Rock ,pop , soul and country Joan definitely sings them all
I am starting to think this woman can sing anything. Why isn't she more popular, it boggles my mind.
deniseg812 love her saw her at the New Orleans jazz fest. Couldn't get enough. Then I got lucky to get in the H.O.B. Packed in like sardines
Probably because she doesn’t write her own material? That’s all I can think of, as an interpreter of songs written by others she is without equal, and incredibly versatile.
a trick: you can watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Nikolas Jeffery definitely, been using flixzone} for months myself :D
@@richardbunting1031 best interpreter since Ronstadt in my book
doesn't get any better than this, captivating performance.
So Beautiful !! Both on the Inside & Outside.....Love You Joan...
With JOAN singing who in their right mind would want the story to end
Bravo. Great harmony too
Really great!!! Love this version of the Kristoffersen-Song!!! Joan is also a great country singer
Beautiful song beautiful singer.
Beautiful, just beautiful. How could it be better than this..

I am not a fan of country music, but that was simply beautiful.
This is sooo intense and breathtaking!
She is some gal, isn't she? Great range, true feeling.
I've never heard a woman sing this before...and I don't think anyone. could do it any better than she did..amazing
a beautiful version thank you
She has something in common with Rita: real and genuine emotions that truly tells the sad story of a marriage breaking up. But she brings me an angle that makes her rendition equally compelling. Never really heard of her, yet such terrific country music girl.
Beautifully done. Thanks for posting.

Joan..I DJ'd your brother's wedding in Newport a few years back. I have come to value you in ways I did not when I met you. Shadows of Motown was a turning point. Hope all is well with you and your's....Jimmy Botticelli
The far best version of this wonderful song

Dan Tyminisky - Oh Brother Where Art Thou
I like this version better than all the others...
Quite beautiful
Perfectly done. Best rendition of this song ever. What a voice!
I bet she could really belt out Patsy Cline songs. Joan's voice is right there with Patsy two great singers
This gal can sing anything well.
That how you do it
With class
I don't think any of us really want to know how our story ends.
I love Dan Taminski..
Great!
Very nice, shades of Emmylou Harris at times. I love Joan's work.

awesome, great kristoferson song
grande interpretazione di una bellissima canzone
Yea thats it! thanks :)
@nmb1815 It's called Pretty LIttle Stranger, a beautiful country album with originals that hold up against the classics they're paired with.
Ronnie Milsap recorded a great version of this Kristofferson classic. But this is equally as good, in fact it’s absolutely wonderful. The backing vocalist with Joan, Dan Tyminiski, was in the bluegrass group Union Station with Alison Krause.

"And here I didn't know she could sing country songs."
Seems she can sing anything!
@Xratti This is a Kris Kristofferson song!!! His demo version already is from 1969 or 1970. He also sang a terrific duet version with Rita Coolidge for their last jointing album "Natural Act" (1978)
BRAVOM
Very reminiscent of Emmylou Harris on this. Excellent version of this great song.
Kris kristopherson is a genius songwriter
beautifull joan and sexy voice ... i love this ...
Wish she'd do some Patsy Cline songs.
@jeantuckertulk This isn't a Ronnie Milsap song!!! ... Kris Kristofferson wrote it, recorded a duet version with Rita Coolidge for their last jointing album "Natural Act" (1978), but his demo version already is from 1969 or 1970... and now it's mostly the final song at his concerts - this one or sometimes Why me (Lord)
This a Ronnie Milsap song, he made it a big hit, which was written by Kris.
beautifull joan and sexy voice ... i loved ...
Yowza...
Where thia even?
Hey thats!!! uh uh uh the guy that sings with Alison Krauss shoot whats his name!!
You can tell she listened to Emmy Lou Harris...
anyone knows who the pedal steel guitarist is on this one ?
Gerry Byrne Kinvara Galway Irelland Steel man is Tommy White
FANTASTIC fucking voice!!!!!! OMG
Try broadening your vocabulary pal, then you might not need to use a disgusting expletive as a misguided attempt at praising this ladies talent.
Nobody sings this song as good as Ronnie Milsap
I agree with you!!
Joan’s version is wonderful and very heartfelt. She is one of the most versatile singers out there, country, folk, soul, blues and rock, you name it and she will deliver.
She's a wonderful singer but I can see why she isn't a major star she just doesn't have that quality
what is this getting positives? she destroyed a great Millsap song..over-rated!!!!!!!!!
The reason for the positive votes is that she does a great job on this song. She is a great singer. Millsap and others do well on it too. Because you didn't like it is no reason to use the term "destroyed."
+bob manning I find Milsap's version to be emotionally flat and rote compared to Osborne's really soulful version. She get's the angst. He sings the lyrics in tune.
Use a Q-tip.
It’s a Kris Kristofferson song. Milsap, like many other artists covered it. Joan’s version is superb, sung with true emotion. There is a reason why yours is the only negative comment, you need to take the 💩💩out of your ears.
