Reba coming to NY & LA

She’s amazing live

Love Reba. Fancy!

Another example of an aging singer who has lost much of their voice.

It sucks-

Shocked that people will pay for this shit. (LOVE REBA, just would never pay to see her live now)

I'd rather pay to see someone like Reba than Madonna.

R3 she sounds fine for someone in their late 60s. She actually sings live and has got a pleasant personality versus the other aging divas

R4 Reba would also pay to see Reba rather than Madonna

Let’s see $200 or less on the floor for Reba who sings live, is one of the best entertainers around and will start fairly promptly on time or $4k for floor tickets to Madonna who will lipsync to a track, while just writhing around on the stage like a dying donkey flicking her dried up clit, but only after starting the show 4 hours late… ummmm tough choice

Has Madonna canceled any dates yet?

Does Madge sing live at all?

Who?

Saw her at Carnegie Hall OP years ago as Nellie Forbush. The tix were a treat for my sister-in-law and her husband visiting from Dallas.

Hardly coastal elite queens but you do you.

Reba has always been great live. If you get a chance, go!

it's all autotuned anyways... they have all the brand new tech that can help with live performances.

Sorry bitches I spent my whole tax return on Beyoncé…. I can’t do anymore concerts this year

No. Her Pussy stinks!

R15 I bet Madonna takes the award for that

She’s adorable

I think her fans would rather see her in another Broadway musical than at MSG. Broadway musical is a more intimate setting and you can hear and see her better.

It's too bad she never said yes to 'Hello Dolly' before it closed in 2018.

What is it with country music I don’t seem to understand? Must be like the farmhouse chic thing, people think it’s cute or quaint I guess.

R19 depends on the era. During Reba’s heyday it was all about the story songs and ballads. Now it’s all lifestyle music that’s very regionally specific.

I always loved Does He Love You?

And the cover version with Liza and Donna Summer is practically a gay orgy set to music.

Broadway wise she was supposedly so good in Annie Get Your Gun, that they were thinking of breaking tradition and nominating her for Best Actress, even though Bernadette had just won for it the year prior.

R21 this might be the gayest song ever recorded

R20 fair enough. I guess I’m a city slicker who grew up on house and trance. Need to get out more I guess.

I would love to see her in another show. But what could she do? Mame? Dolly? Mama Rose? Follies? Call Me Madam?

I'd be interested in seeing what you all think.

Reba was said to be at the top of the list to replace Bette Midler in 'Hello Dolly' back in 2018. The list included Queen Latifah, Dolly Parton, and a few other A-listers. One by one, they all said no and Bernadette Peters finally said yes - as good as she was, she didn't have the box office pull like the other 'names' certainly had.

I like her but is she a Rethug or, worse, a Trumper? Just curious.

[quote]I like her but is she a Rethug or, worse, a Trumper? Just curious.

She doesn't talk her politics. But a few years ago, she was named as a featured singer at the Republican fund raiser. But she wasn't consulted about it and demanded her name be removed as a supporter of the event.

Interesting. Thank you, R28.

R27 she’s supported gay marriage for a long time, lots of gay friends. She had a song about the AIDS crisis in the 90s. She was very good friends with George H.W. Bush, but if she’s a Republican she’s not a Trumper. She alluded in an interview that she finds Trump to be offensive. Seems like a moderate, she’s very neutral on politics.

Got my Hollywood Bowl tickets!

“Take It Back”, “Fancy”, “If You See Him/If You See Her”, “Fear of Being Alone”…absolutely adore her.

Can’t believe she’s never performed at MSG.

Today’s her birthday

I saw her 30 years ago, great concert.

Who?

That shirt makes me feel I’m trippin’ balls.

When my ex was a young twink, she would sing at the rodeos before she became famous. They all had a feeling she was going to be a big star; her voice was incredible.

R37 did you land a cowboy gay?

Still wishing I could have seen Reba on Broadway in Annie get your gun.

R39 me too!!!

Not across the street to see this strange faced bitch, not even if you paid me 500 USD.

Not that I hear she's supporting drag queens, much to country people's dismay, then absolutely yes.

*NOW, damnit

I remember being a little kid and seeing this video/hearing this song and loving it - it's still fun.

R41 I’m sure no one comes to see you, period.

She’s a gay ally and the hillbilly trump cretins are trying to cancel her

I'd buy tickets even if I couldn't go, just to piss off the Trumpers and right wing nutjobs who say they are now boycotting her.

A lot of republicans find Trump personally offense. They still vote R and still give the party $$$. Reba doesn't get a pass just because she's folksy and sings a song about a hooker. Until she admits to giving money to democrats I consider her to support a party eager to strip us of our rights.

R48 her ex-husband donated to Biden. Look it up.

R48 Do some research as others here have done. We don't do this research for you.

As noted in other threads, she brought a lot of attention to AIDS when she didn’t have to. The song was very controversial and she was heavily criticized. That song forced straight country fans to see HIV/AIDS from a perspective they could empathize with or imagine themselves in, it had a big impact.

She’s constantly chosen songs that dealt with heavy issues, seemingly from a liberal perspective. Here’s a song she did in 1987 about the migrant situation at the border.

Women going back to school to finish their education:

Euthanasia:

Domestic violence:

Consider me gone is my fave.

EX Husband donated to Biden LOL. Wow, Reba has totally gone blue. I'm convinced!

R58 he controlled the money. He was her Svengali.

Go worship Hagdonna then, who only likes gays like Paris Hilton likes chihuahuas… subservient and as accessories.

R58 no one cares what you think

i swear I had that same shirt shes wearing in Op's pic ! Circa 1991 or so .

Apparently you do, R60. And apparently you get livid and stomp your middle feets when someone doesn't worship some yodeling repig loving cowgirl.

R62 are you okay?

Fabulous, R63. And you?

Oh, and r59, what kind of gays does Reba like? Guessing the invisible kind, of the kind who do her hair, or Log Cabin types, like you.

R62 sure focuses on what she hates. Talk about pathetic.

Reba fans have been screeching for years what a gay ally she is, without putting forth one shred of evidence to support it. And you're right. I don't like her. I haven't since she cunted off about the Dixie Chicks, showing her true colors. By all means, keep supporting her and sending her money if it makes you happy, but quit pretending that she is anything resembling a gay ally. And being nice to a makeup artist doesn't count.

R68 you’re obviously unstable. All the Janbots, Hagdonna & Shania fans trot out that old Dixie Chicks story anytime they want to attack her. She made one G-rated lame joke on an awards show, written by writers in like 2003. She never condemned them. Get over it.

The reason that joke took on a life of its own is because that little hedgehog lez Natalie Maines took it so personally and went on a warpath against Reba in interviews. Natalie’s career now is basically nonexistent.

Show is on Saturday. Did the NY Queens get their tix yet?

Lol not worshipping the yodeling rethug makes someone unstable? Ok… that seems normal. Honey, go see Reba. Have a great time. No one is stopping you. But maybe try not to get unhinged when someone disagrees with you. Also that “joke” was part of a big pile on. The Chicks were getting death threats. Reba could have stayed out of it but thought it would be great to boost her popularity with her mouth breathing fans - like you.

R72 keep focusing on what you hate. Have a great day!

Everyone should leave town. The hillbillies are coming. Hicks from the sticks.

R74 time to flee?

She can fill MSG up every night? Does she have that much drawing power?

R76 if Ben Platt can…

Who?

She sucks!

R 79 is obsessed with her. Trashes her every chance he gets. Weird

R79 is Madgebot

[quote] "I'd rather pay to see someone like Reba than Madonna."

Same, R4. I've never seen Madonna live (and only regret not seeing The Confessions Tour), but I HAVE been to Reba concerts. Like Cher, she shows up on time, and puts on a hell of a show. She doesn't do the 21 truck shows of the 1990s anymore, but her "stripped-down" shows are still very exciting (and the audiences are full of all kinds of hot men).

And she's very, very good about including old hits. So for instance: if you only ever go to one Reba show, you should be able to count on hearing "Fancy". Madonna's album tours are great if one likes the album (which is why I regret not seeing "Confessions", because I LOVE that album...except "Push"), but she's not good for a lot classics (there ARE only so many slots for songs in the lineup).

I DO appreciate the occasional update/fresh take on Madonna's old songs if they fit the tone of the tour, but sometimes I just want to hear something resembling the original goddamned version. I was genuinely shocked when she performed "Material Girl" (my favorite) during The Reinvention Tour. I won't be seeing this Madonna tour either, but I really hope she puts a lot of thought and heart, and HITS into it (and fucking NEEDS to perform "Rain" and "I'll Remember", which won't happen).

Reba shows are an interesting mix of people, too. From genuine cowboys to drag queens, truck drivers, and everything in between. It's fun to have a few beers and chat with people before the show (these days, it would be an edible, as I no longer drink).

I'm biased, but definitely go to a Reba show if you get the chance. And go a little early for people watching. It's almost as fun as the show itself.

I was at the show at the link. I didn't make the featured recording, but if you listen hard enough, you can hear me screaming.

Reba is awful. I’d rather watch a flock of sparrows devour a big pile of cow shit

R83 has posted every negative comment on this thread

This was the moment she cemented her gay icon status. It’s tame for now, but that red dress was on the front page of every paper the next morning. JLo followed in her footsteps.

R85 love our DL faves Liza with a Z and Billy Stritch (who wrote that song) at the end of the video. Looks like Lizha is saying mahvolish and bravho.

R83 that’s hilarious! 😝

Does he eat your pussy like he eats my pussy?

Reba is coming to LA and NY! Hellfire! I gotta tell Ma! Hey, Ma! That red headed cuntry bitch who sang that Bobby Gentry song you liked is gonna attempt some concerts! Say you’d rather have all of your teeth pulled as to be forced to endure 90 minutes listening to that cunt warble out some country tunes? I hear ya, Ma.

Why do these country stars want to come to NY and LA? They should keep that shit in HillBilly Land.

R88 LMFAO 😂

City folks like R89 and R90 prefer classy entertainers, like Sam Smith & Madonna.

“Why don’t Reba sang about anal sex & cum, then hump her band members, and rub her tits for everyone?!?”

The NY show is tonight. Are any of you bitches going?

Based on the LA show thread, I looked on stubhub and picked up some tickets to the msg show for $20, never seen her in concert before should be fun. I’m not as familiar with her music, but I was a fan of the tv show, my friend I’m going with is from Florida and grew up listening to her and is a super fan. I only know fancy from drag queens doing it and the survivor song from the tvshow.

Sure am! Got crazy discounted tickets on StubHub. Tix are on sale for as low as $6. No joke. It would’ve been rude not to given the deals.

R95 wowww I feel like I missed out on the real bargains by paying $20 awhile back. I just looked and there are still $8 seats, but $10 for really good seats. Even better if it’s asshole scalpers taking a haircut on unsold tickets, the original price for tix was $100-300.

R95 that’s cheaper than a cup of coffee here

R83 is the Reba Hater troll that loses his mind every time someone posts about her. It’s like he was hypnotized and Reba is his anger trigger

I already have r83 blocked. Normally I only block people for being racist. So guessing r83 hates Black people too?

🤷🏽‍♂️

This is a good one

She sings a lot of the man that got away, lost love, he didn’t love me type songs and I think gay men connect with that

[quote] "This was the moment she cemented her gay icon status. It’s tame for now, but that red dress was on the front page of every paper the next morning. JLo followed in her footsteps."

She said in an interview that when she asked her mom or dad (who were in the audience) what they thought of the performance, one of them said "I think you need a few more sequins."

An (ACTUAL) iconic moment in Reba's career, and country music, R85.

R102 lol

She sings live unlike Ms. Jackson who just kicked off her 2023 tour to scathing reviews.

Janet Jackson doesn’t “tour”. She does two or three lame shows and then cancels the rest.

R105 careful you’ll summon Janbot here

Fuck her. She campaigned for George W. Bush. Probably will go all in for DeSantis if he gets the nom.

R107 she did no such thing, psycho.

Thanks to the OP annd other posters for the heads up. I never seen her before but snapped up the cheap tickets and must say it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. At the beginning after she did her first two songs and paused to talk,, the crowd gave her the most intense standing ovation, cheering, screaming and clapping I’ve ever heard at a concert, while chanting her name too for like two or three minutes and she started crying it was a really cool moment. Openers were great too and Reba did the few songs I knew and now I’ll have to check out more on streaming. She is a truly exceptional performer, she commands the room

R95 how was it?

I can command the room by letting a fart

Your only post on this thread, r107?

R110- It was… ok. I thought she’d have a bit more of a dynamic stage presence and I can’t say she electrified the Garden. R109 was spot on regarding the touching standing ovation she received. That was probably the best moment. I’m glad I went and gladder for the discounted tix.

How did she get Bernice Cliftons nose?

I’d rather go to a Reba Schappell concert

I love Reba videos

Damn, Reba fans are crazy!

R117 wow, that’s something you won’t hear or see at a Janet or Madge concert

Madonna hates her fans. She can barely hide her contempt on your. There are hookers that give off more warmth than Madge.

R119 Madonna doesn’t seem to like people unless they’re hot at the moment celebs that can help her get press. She seems like a miserable person, but also thriving on her own ego.

Janet is at least kind and appreciative of her fans.

I was surprised at the ny show that half the crowd seemed to be gay men

Interesting

R123 nobody cares about that cunt

Boo! Boo!!!

She's so disappointed that she'll keep funneling money to republican candidates. That'll show 'em!

R124-6 is scared someone might not listen to whoever their lazy slut queen divas are for two seconds. Contributions are public record. Some weird vendetta you have. Are you a psychotic Dixie Chicks fan? You know the group with the name that celebrates slavery. Seek help, you prolapsed old whore, who stinks and no one wants anymore.

Uh, I have no idea what lazy slut queen diva you are referring to. I can, however, identify faux "concern" from your right-wing idol who takes your money while voting for republicans who can't wait to round your gay ass up. Truth hurts, sweetness. Now go put on your Reba records and pretend she actually gives a shit about you. Kisses!

R127

Ahh, shut the fuck up, queef.

How many guns does Miss Reba own?

Madgebot is pressed.

[quote]Are you a psychotic Dixie Chicks fan? You know the group with the name that celebrates slavery.

The Dixie Chicks changed their name, as did Lady Antebellum.
