54: "Love Needs A Holiday"
Album: Reba #1's (Single #2 of 2) Chronology: Reba's 81st single Year: 2006 Billboard Airplay Peak: 60 Studio Version: Music Video: ***Disclaimer: This video begins with a small excerpt of the "Somebody" music video, because it features the same couple 6 years later. Just thought I would point that out, because I was confused when I clicked on the video She was circlin’ the Holiday Inn, Just about to go ‘round again When her cell phone rang And it was him sayin’, “Room 183.” They’d never done this before, But when he met her at the door They broke out smilin’ ‘cause they were sure That this is what they need. She said, “Momma’s got the kids.” And he said, “We got the room for the weekend.”
They love their kids and their house And that dog in the yard, Oh, and their neighbors, for the most part. They love each other, But it’s hard to be lovers when life gets in the way. Sometimes love needs a holiday.
He hung out the “Do Not Disturb” To shut out the rest of the world. Forty-eight hours of just him and her; You can’t get this at home. She pulled the covers back, And he said, “Yeah, I’m into that.” They flopped down together and took a nap; No, you can’t get this at home. They woke up in each other’s arms, And that’s where they spent the rest of the weekend.
They love their kids and their house And that dog in the yard, Oh, and their neighbors, for the most part. They love each other, But it’s hard to be lovers when life gets in the way. Sometimes love needs a holiday.
Room service dinner with candles and wine. A night with no homework and no baby cryin’. They hold each other like they used to do. He whispers, “Girl, I’ve missed you.”
They love their kids and their house And that dog in the yard, Oh, and their neighbors, for the most part. They love each other, But it’s hard to be lovers when life gets in the way. Sometimes love needs a holiday.
Needs a holiday. He hung up the “Do Not Disturb”. Love needs a holiday, Love needs a holiday. To shut out the rest of the world, Love needs a holiday, Love needs a holiday.I personally enjoy this song, but it is one where I can definitely see where people might make a case for not enjoying it. I am personally shocked that this one had a music video, considering how poorly it did, combined with how badly "You're Gonna Be" performed before it! But I love Reba's music videos, and this is certainly a perfect song for a music video, so let's just accept it without questioning it :)

I just wanted to say, watching those last two music videos and other recent live videos, I absolutely LOVE Reba's hair from about 2005 until now. How it is shoulder-length and straightened, yet poofs outwards towards the bottom... It is just such a great look for her!!! Maybe that hairdo is her secret for how she continues to look like she is in her 40s.....

I also love the darker, deeper red color as opposed to the lighter, orange-ish shade that it sometimes was earlier on.

53: "Forever Love"
Album: If You See Him (Single #2 of 4) Chronology: Reba's 68th single Year: 1998 Billboard Airplay Peak: 4
Studio Version:
Music Video:
Live Version:
The first time I laid my eyes on you I knew We’d spend this life side by side. I still feel the same, though you’re so far away. I swear that you’ll always be mine,
Forever love, I promise you, Someday we’ll be together Forever love. I won’t give up, No matter what. I’ll be waiting for you Forever love.
Minutes and hours and years may go by, But my heart knows nothing of time. So don’t cry, just keep me right there in your dreams, And hold on to these words of mine.
Forever love, I promise you, Someday we’ll be together Forever love. I won’t give up, No matter what. I’ll be waiting for you Forever,
Love is the road to our destiny. Nothing can change what is meant to be. Forever love. (Forever love.)
Oh, I won’t give up, No matter what. I’ll be waiting for you Forever love, love.
I’ll be waiting for you Forever love. Forever love.
This is extremely bittersweet for me, because this is my all-time favorite Reba song, and it got voted out before even making the top 50... (But don't feel too bad; I would have been bitter when it got voted out no matter when it happened ;) ) Anyway, I am a HUGE sucker for ballads, especially power ballads, and this song is the epitome of everything I love about Reba. The beginning of the song is kinda boring, I will admit. But I just cannot get over the bridge, when she suddenly belts out, "Forever loooooooooooooooooooove", and her voice has a perfect vibrato, but then it suddenly goes away partway through the note, and then comes back at the end... That delivery gives me goosebumps every time :) Heck, I'm getting giddy just thinking about it now! I cannot wait to be in love so I can slow dance to this one... Lol!

52: "If I Were A Boy"
Album: All The Women I Am (Single #2 of 4) Chronology: Reba's 89th single Year: 2011 Billboard Airplay Peak: 22
Studio Version:
Music Video:
Live Version:
If I were a boy, Even just for a day, I’d roll out of bed in the mornin’ And throw on what I wanted and go. I’d drink beer with the guys And chase after girls. I’d kick it with who I wanted, And I’d never get confronted for it. ‘Cause they’d stick up for me.
If I were a boy I think I would understand How it feels to love a girl. I swear I’d be a, a better man.
If I were a boy, I would turn off my phone. Tell everyone it’s broken So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone. I’d put myself first (Aah)
And make the rules as I go (Aah), Oh, ‘cause I know that she’d be faithful Waiting for me to come home. Oh, to come home.
If I were a boy I think I would understand How it feels to love a girl. I swear I’d be a, oh, a better man. And I’d listen to her ‘Cause I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted ‘Cause he’s taken you for granted And everything you had got destroyed.
It’s a little too late For you to come back. Say it’s just a mistake. Think I’d forgive you like that?
If you thought I would wait for you, You thought wrong.
But you’re just a boy. You don’t understand How it feels to love a girl. Someday you’ll wish you were a, oh, a better man. Oh, you don’t listen to her And you don’t care how it hurts Until you lose the one you wanted ‘Cause you’ve taken her for granted And everything you had got destroyed.
But you’re just a boy.
I know I am in the minority here, but I LOVE this song. I cannot get enough of it! In my opinion, this is a perfect cover. Reba manages to turn this song into her own, without demolishing the things that were so special about the original. I imagine Beyonce feels pretty honored to have a legend do their own interpretation of her song. I can understand why people do not like this version of course, but I do think it was such an obviously bad choice for a single as I have seen people say it was. They make it sound like it completely tanked the All The Women I Am era and Reba should have known better than to release it, but to me it sounds like a song I would have expected to do really well... I feel bad that the album era tanked, but honestly I think that was more a result of Reba's age being unable to continue her momentum than this one song being "oh so terrible".

51: "What If It's You"
Album: What If It's You (Single #4 of 4) Chronology: Reba's 65th single Year: 1997 Billboard Airplay Peak: 15
Studio Version:
Music Video:
I’ve got somethin’ to tell you That I just can’t say, So I’m writing it down In case maybe someday Our lives take a turn Down a road we can’t see right now. I know you’re happy, And I’m happy for you. But since you found each other, I’ve been so confused. ‘Cause I believe there’s One soul on this earth That was meant for mine I was sent here to find.
What if it’s you? What if our hearts were meant to be one? What’ll I do Knowing that I’ll never love anyone As much as I do love you? What if it’s true? What if it’s you?
If destiny called And I missed my cue, Do I get one more chance?
Oh, how I wish I knew. I’ll never again Put my heart In the hands of fate If it’s too late.
What if it’s you? What if our hearts were meant to be one? And what’ll I do Knowing that I’ll never love anyone As much as I do love you? What if it’s true? What if it’s you?
If I ever hold you, I’ll never let go. But if I never do it, how will I know?
What if it’s you? What if our hearts were meant to be one? Oh, and what’ll I do Knowing that I’ll never love anyone As much as I do love you? What if it’s true? What if it’s you?
What’ll I do? What if it’s true? What if it’s you?
This song is straight from my favorite period in Reba's career. What If It's You is an album straight from my early childhood, so the songs from this time period ("The Fear Of Being Alone", "How Was I To Know", etc.) all come at me with a huge dose of nostalgia. Reba really hit her stride in the mid-to-late-90s, and this is honestly one of the least memorable songs from that period. However, that speaks more to the quality of all her other material than a lack of quality in this song, because it is still a wonderful song!

50: "Sweet Music Man"
Album: Greatest Hits Volume III: I'm A Survivor (Single #2 of 2) Chronology: Reba's 75th single Year: 2002 Billboard Airplay Peak: 36
Studio Version:
Music Video:
Sing a song, sweet music man, ‘Cause I won’t be there to hold your hand like I used to. I’m through with you. You’re a hell of a singer, and a powerful man, But you surround yourself With people who demand so little of you.
You touched my soul with your beautiful song. You even had me singin’ along right with you. You said I need you. Then you changed the words and added harmony, Then you sang the song you had written for me To someone new.
Nobody sings a love song quite like you do. Nobody else can make me sing along. Nobody else can make me feel That things are right when I know they’re wrong. Nobody sings a love song quite like you.
Sing your song, sweet music man. You travel the world with a six piece band that does for you What you ask them to. You try to stay young, but the songs you sung To so many people have all begun To come back on you.
Sing your song, sad music man. You’re makin’ your livin’ doin’ one-night stands. They’re through with you. They don’t need you. You’re still a hell of a singer, but a broken man, But you’ll keep on lookin’ for one last fan to sing to.
Nobody sings a love song quite like you do. Nobody else can make me sing along. Nobody else can make me feel That things are right when I know they’re wrong. Nobody sings a love song quite like you.
Just like with "You're Gonna Be", one of the great mysteries of life will always be why this song flopped. Coming off the heels of "I'm A Survivor", she should have had enough momentum to get such a wonderful song as this to chart higher than #36! Maybe radio ignored it because it was a cover? Anyway, I think there are moments in this song where her voice sounds more beautiful than I have ever heard it before. Something about her timbre on some of the sustained notes makes her sound so sweet and young and innocent. (An example is the word "song" in the line, "You touched my soul with your beautiful song.") This song is just a unique, light, breezy breath of fresh air compared to her mountain of power ballads offset by sassy uptempos.

Also, bboat11, I haven't had a chance to read them all yet, just ones I happen across, but I'm loving the right-ups you are giving the songs that get eliminated! They're amazing and thanks for taking the time to do it!
