Wow, the simplicity of Katy's voice make me love this song even more! Kacey does a great job but this... is Katy's song! It is a monumental song and the original version and this amazing version will stand the test of time (I hope). You go Katy!
and Kacey Musgraves is an exceptional song writer. She can sing too, but not like Katy Perry, but she can write better. :😉I dunno why they hooked up. The harmony isn't there at all. Reminds me of old Kris Kristoferson or whatever his name was. Brilliant song writer, with an average voice, but Katy Perry has some real pipes for sure.
Anyone saying Katy sounds bad here seriously needs to check themselves!!! They both sound absolutely beautiful and i need them to perform together again 🥺🥺💗💗

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh what a precious rendition. Incredible voices, thank u for sharing the stage. Kinda wish I was sitting under the cactus on stage listening in person....someday Moon, I will. Cause, I still believe in this love. 🖤🙏🏽✌🏽🖖🏿🙃
You like Kacey voice because it's calm and sweet, it's totally sounds really good, Katy's still sounds much better because she really explore all the notes rather than focusing on the same key
@@jesse9244 yes its more calm and slow and sometimes depressed with a mumbly vocals sometimes you don't know what they're saying. Katy is the queen of 2000's tho
first of all Kacey's voice is definitely not made for constantly belting. second of all if u r looking for Kacey belting flawlessly, 3:26 here u go. just because she doesn't often belt, doesn't mean she can't do so
For all the people who are trashing on Katy's performance, it's her song... the original has really high belts, and katy sang it like it was meant to be sung- with power. Kacey doesn't have Katy's range or power so she stayed in one octave but still sounded great. For me Kacey's rendering made firework a depressing song, while Katy's kept its empowering theme. Firework jumps 2 and a half octaves in a single prechorus and reaches a high belt for the chorus and flips to falsetto in the verses, it has cartwheels of dynamics that frankly only katy can sing.
I appreciate you covering the tone deaf issue by saying Kacey ‘stayed in one octave.’ But 100% agree…this is Katy’s comfort zone. She was so courteous throughout.
That was a little awkward at the end of the second chorus when Katy switched to the lower harmony part that kacey had been singing. Kacey looked unprepared for that and just backed off....
I think she (Kacey) was having difficulty with the harmony. She kept holding her in ear really trying to listen to the parts trying to find the right harmony
I think she (Kacey) was having difficulty with the harmony. She kept holding her in ear really trying to listen to the parts trying to find the right harmony
@christinachandler I don’t think she was having a difficult time. It was just her trying to hear herself. When you’re in a huge room and have instruments playing around you, you really have to focus to hear your own voice if your in ear monitor isn’t working perfectly
All of these non musicians and non singers talking about octaves and ranges and pitch, etc have zero clue what they're talking about 😂😂😂 shut up and enjoy the music.
If an angel from heaven came down to earth and sang, it would sound like Kacy Musgraves. If the Katy Perry that sang like this auditioned in front of American Idol judge Katy Perry, would judge Perry put through this Perry? I would hope not! Katy cannot dial it back and be successful, she needs to let it rip. Kacy can belt it out with the best of them.
You realize this was a stripped down version that isn’t supposed to sound like the usual banger it is when she performs in concert right? And that this sound makes it easier for Kacey to participate in? You don’t know about music….
Interesting comments and it's clear you either in Katy or Kacey"s camp....but this is not a great pairing as their voices and styles do not complement each other. Good, but not great.
??? lmao what are you talking about 😭 are you like deaf or sumn? just say you prefer kacey's sweet soft voice style than katy's powerful, runs and attitude voice
A. They don’t look or sound like they are on the same page. B. Katy sounds rough and straining a lot. Sorry but this isn’t a good crossroads song. I enjoyed the original version of this song, empowering, positive and strong, but this is down right sad and depressing how it sounds. Katy is either losing her voice or has been relying to heavily on autotune in the studio and her back ground singers aren’t helping the situation either.
They really dont look or sound alike! I mean i hope ur kidding wen u said that. These are two different genres and styles. Wth. Sick and tired of seeing these kind of comments. Can we just appreciate the fact that these two made that far to put up a show?
mighty joe young I didn’t say they sound alike? I used the word “like” as in a form of expression. That they don’t look or sound “like” they are on the same page. The performance was extremely rough like they were not meant to be singing together, bc they don’t mesh like other crossroads entertainers do. Like Haulsey and Kelsea, they took their two different genres and merged them into one and looked like they were having a great time doing it and were natural at it. It doesn’t even seem like Katy wanted Kelsey to be singing the song with her, she took most of the vocals, yes it her song but there were many awkward moments between the two and Katy didn’t seem like she wanted to be the only one really singing it, which defeats the purpose of crossroads. And yes, no duh, I know these are two different genres, that’s the whole point of crossroads! I don’t appreciate the fact that someone makes it this far by recording whole entire albums with more tracks than I can count and uses auto tune on every song bc they really can’t sing naturally without it. I am referring to Katy.
I think they have the least chemistry and compatibility out of all the other CMT Crossroads duos. Everyone else seems like they're enjoying each other and these two are kinda meh.
@@Jagarknot1 I completely agree with you because you have actual perception. People are literally on here trying to argue with yours and my opinion! A freakin opinion.
lmao just say you hate katy 💀 katy definitely has more power, runs and attitude on her singing while kacey has sweet soft voice. they both have different styles of singing. now back off
@@mightyjoeyoung3726 for all the other songs they did, they did amazing. Beyond amazing, really. This song should not have been stripped down and sung that way. This was the only song that Katy bombed.
@@davidkurtzbach7589 umm it's her song... the original has really high belts, and katy sang it like it was meant to be sung- with power. Kacey doesn't have Katy's range or power so she stayed in one octave but still sounded great. For me Kacey's rendering made firework a depressing song, while Katy's kept its empowering theme.
Both fantastic. Katy the proper pop star with a big personality. Kacey blessed with a beautiful voice - what a gift to be given.

Is that Katy’s mother??

I get goosebumps when I hear Kacey's voice at 2:00
This is beautiful! I didn't know what to expect, but I'm surprised how well Kacey and Katy's voices sound together on this song!
Vocals!!! Amazed! Katy does really belt so high!
Kacey has the voice. I wanna hear her sing more pop songs with her calm beautiful voice.
katy perrys voice so stronggggg
The duet we didn’t know we needed
Kacey's voice is so calmly🙁❤
This is the best hypothetical: Which voice would you love to have??? Totally different, and totally amazing-astonishing-angelic!!!! I want BOTH!!!
I think I'd go with Kacey's
Just because I feel like for Katy it's so hard to sing in a soft style and I'm more into that
@@user-kp4cd6fr3k but she is SO good when she does. It makes her climbs that much more powerful
@@pgrill24 yeah that's true I don't know I want both as well 😩
@@user-kp4cd6fr3k I want that Perry BELT that she has. lol. I want Kasey's too for writing songs, but Katy P has an insane belt
3:35 proves how katy was trying not to over do Kacey ... I love both of them❤️
Great arrangement and harmony
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh what a precious rendition. Incredible voices, thank u for sharing the stage. Kinda wish I was sitting under the cactus on stage listening in person....someday Moon, I will. Cause, I still believe in this love. 🖤🙏🏽✌🏽🖖🏿🙃
3:18 was the best part of the whole song...
Lol
I love the crossroads!!
Kacey doesn’t suffer with her vocals because she stays in the same range. B4-F4…She’s maintaining her voice between B4 to F4. Her tone is so pleasant😭
Thank you for sharing your gifts, ma chéries !
🔥☯️🔥
ladies and gentle man, i present to you the best duo
Kasey is effortlessly exquisite ❤
You like Kacey voice because it's calm and sweet, it's totally sounds really good, Katy's still sounds much better because she really explore all the notes rather than focusing on the same key
the new pop music meta is calm. there's minimal projecting in current music. interesting trend

Chocado como a Katy cantou tão bem aqui😮
These are my ladies!!
Great duet!!!
Holy country pop mashups batman. That was sensational.
Great duet! Happy 4th of July!!
This was fire
THANK U Katy & Kacey❗️❤️❗️❤️
Great Pop Country Mix👍⭐️💥
💃🏽
2 beautiful womans 😌💕

3:35 people say katy perry improved in 2023 but she was always divine
Love it

In fact no one else can sing firework like Katy does..

Kacey's beautiful
wonderful
1:03 OH MY GASH
That was a little awkward at the end of the second chorus when Katy switched to the lower harmony part that kacey had been singing. Kacey looked unprepared for that and just backed off....
No, Kacey was still singing, it's just that her voice is soft and this song is a high note song so she couldn't reach it.
I think she (Kacey) was having difficulty with the harmony. She kept holding her in ear really trying to listen to the parts trying to find the right harmony

I noticed that too! Kacey's face showed she was ticked off 😣
2:23 💕💕
KATY perry ❤️❤️
I love Katy but I prefer Kasey singing this, she’s perfection.
Those girls are a hole lot of wow babys
Where to watch full episode
In 2:44 why did Katy do the Witness Vocal notes if it was in 2014 (PRISM).?
Cause Katy is still Katy? Tf? It’s her throat. There’s only so many ways she can change up a single song. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
❤️
they snapped at 2:45
Tasty drum fill at 3:51
Omg 😲
*They should of paired them differently* 🌵💜🌴
All of these non musicians and non singers talking about octaves and ranges and pitch, etc have zero clue what they're talking about 😂😂😂 shut up and enjoy the music.
1:52
🤗🦖🥰
Is this from 2020? It looks older to me I can’t explain it
It’s from the summer of 2014 😁
Little Monster Of the Behive OK that’s what I thought thanks!!
They have to collab in one song actually

@@DeathtotheAshes I don't know why you have to try insult me. What's the point of that? Stripped down or not, this wasn't the best route for Katy.
@@davidkurtzbach7589 Compared to who? It’s Katy’s song. You’re looking too deep into it for a whole lot of nothing.
Interesting comments and it's clear you either in Katy or Kacey"s camp....but this is not a great pairing as their voices and styles do not complement each other. Good, but not great.
Best pair thus far ... Halsey & Kelsea Ballerini ❤️ them !
Katy showed out
It's her song? Katy has a powerful and heavy voice, if she doesn't sing the way she sang how is she supposed to reach the high notes? BOOO
I just watched a murder omg
Had "Kacey" spelled her name as "KACY", this duet would have their first names differ by just "one" letter not "two".
😂😂😂
Can we just have Kayce sing?
Does your UA-cam search not work or something?
@@DeathtotheAshes it does. Do you have a version of Kayce singing this song by herself? Didn’t think so.
Not this song, her voice wasn't made for this
@@pedrolc7256 Thank you!
@@pedrolc7256 she sounded so much better than Perry’s harsh voice on this one.
That look at 3:00 they really hate each other
They're close friends
Every time I hear this song it reminds me of Kim Jong-Un
Lol why 🤣🤣
Most people won’t get this also it’s a funny movie 😂
i hate you lmaaaaao
the interview😂😂
This song debuted way before that was even relevant to anyone.
Katy sang her under the table... Kacey voice is great but she was there for tone and harmony. That's about it
Katy showed her talent and they both rocked. Go watch Kacey Musgrave Live on stage with John Prine called Burn one with John Prine.
That was exceptionally painful!
Hmm maybe Katy Perry and Kelly Clarkson singing together
I hope they both never get work done on their faces.
It’s not that Katy doesn’t sound great…it’s just that…well…Kacey 💫
Katy's off key, nasally voice does not belong on the same stage as Kacey and her melodic sweetness.
No she's not out of key
??? lmao what are you talking about 😭 are you like deaf or sumn? just say you prefer kacey's sweet soft voice style than katy's powerful, runs and attitude voice
She’s going back and forth between melody and harmonizing. She’s not off key at all. 😂

Who thought this was a good idea? Katy sounded like screeching cats. Horrible. Musgraves though, WOW! She did incredible

She’s Not Using Any Special Sound Effects.
