Stacy Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 03:32 PM EST

OMG!!!! I thought it was awesome!!! Absolutely great!!! I watch it over and over and over!!! Def Leppard still is and looks great!!!!! Way to go!!!!

JACQUE Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 05:07 PM EST

just viewed def leopard and taylor swift and absolutely loved it. i wish there were dvds of these wonderful concerts

talulu Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 10:38 AM EST

I was embarrassed for Def Leppard, singing Taylor's teeny bopper songs, and Def Leppard didn't sing enough, and Taylor sang too much.

Chaz Sat, Nov 8, 2008 at 04:48 PM EST

It was obvious that the sound tech was using pitch correction on Taylor and her voice is about as shrill as Billy the annoying pitchman on all the TV commercials. I thought that the DL boys were real gentlemen and sounded great! I wish that Crossroads would pick serious country artists for these projects who've earned the right with years of experience and talent. Taylor has neither of these and this is only the opinion of a guy who's made his life career in the music industry.

I just watched some of the crossroads show with taylor swift and def leeppard, and all I can say is,Steve
Clark must have rolled over in his grave.

I love Taylor Swift(I just saw her in Va Beach and she was great)and was never big on Def Leppard, but when I watched them sing Photograph I couldn't wait to see the rest of the performance!!!!

Air time November 7th 8 PM Central

Ok, I take back what I said about Taylor. I've lost count of how many times I watch Joe and Taylor sing Photograph (at people.com) and I think she did a great job. She started out weak at first (maybe a little nervous) but she was great after that. Can't wait to see the rest.

jasmine gines Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 09:44 PM EST

i don't know what to say to you good people

LC Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 10:19 AM EST

Awesome concert! I was front row and center for the taping. I was skeptical of this pairing but it was AMAZING. Def Leppard actually made Taylor Swift sound good.

LeppardLover Tue, Oct 7, 2008 at 10:44 PM EST

As a fan of Def Leppard I'm not sure how I'm gonna like this. I can't stand Taylor Swift and that voice of hers. The thought of her screeching with Joe's sexy voice just makes me shudder. I am a little curious how he's gonna sing her stuff though. As for the past Crossroads I love Kid Rock/Hank Williams Jr, James Taylor/Dixie Chicks and Trace Adkins/38 Special. I never got to see Travis Tritt/Ray Charles, but I would love to see that one. CMT needs to put these on DVD for all the fans.

Joe Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 07:23 PM EST

I'm going to see Reba & Kelly in concert on 11/20/08 in Columbus, OH...

John Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 12:19 AM EST

My favs were Bon Jovi/Sugarland and Benetar/McBride. I must have watched BJ/SL 10 times. Jennifer rocked it and BJ is always good. Benetar/McBride both sang from the heart. Swift/DL? Love DL, Swift not so much, but the combos have surprised me.

RysAngel_Sara Sat, Sep 6, 2008 at 10:19 AM EST

def lepard is an awsome band that can really rock...taylor swift is a good songwriter and nothing more.she's not any good at singing her own songs, what makes her think she can sing with def lepard??? I have to watch this show just like you have to watch a train wreck....horrifying but you can't turn away.

Jen Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 09:46 PM EST

Reba and Kelly were great. Don't forget Kenny Chesney & John Mellencamp...they were awesome together.

Bryan Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 12:17 AM EST

Lindsey Buckingham and Little Big Town
Los Lonely Boys and Ronnie Milsap
John Fogerty and Keith Urban
ZZ Top and Brooks & Dunn are good and what are the names of the Joss Stone and LeAnn Rimes Songs

rhonda Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 10:19 AM EST

it always surprises me the people they pair together on crossroads. i loved martina and pat benetar. i also loved james taylor and the dixie chicks, but my all time favorite was reba and kelly. their harmonies were amazing on ballads like because of you and the greatest man. you could see the mutual respect they had for each other. i don't get tired of watching them perform. a tour was created because of the response they received. i can't wait to see them in concert again. if you haven't seen them together in concert you are missing out on a great show. they are having a good time singing with each other. go...you won't be disappointed.

Adan Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 11:20 AM EST

Delayed Reaction. This didn't hit me until this morning when "Bringing On The Heartbreak" cycled onto my MP3... I was so stuck on TS singing Def Leppard songs that the true horror sunk in: DL singing TS songs. I think this may make watching this worth it. Can y'all imagine DL singing "Tim McGraw" or "Our Song" or any other of her songs which all seem to be about pining for/hating on/crushing after some teenaged boy?

barbara baer Fri, Jul 4, 2008 at 11:26 PM EST

the only thing i have to say is taylor
cant sing she is very annoying same songs all the time.when her videos come on i turn them off ....

Ahmi Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 12:29 AM EST

My favorite was the Sugarland and Bon Jovi episode! My song was It's My Life!

J.R. Journey Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 11:04 PM EST

Your are not the only one to feel that way, Adan. I too have to change the station when her voices comes on screeching and wailing 'Should've Said No' or that god-aweful 'Picture to Burn'. Not over my radio waves, sister.

bkb Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 05:04 PM EST

karen, it has been awhile since benatar and mcbride were on crossroads. i think you need to rethink what you thought you heard on that program. seems to me it was equally excellent performances by both of them.no need to degrade martina, it took both of them to make the show.

BIll Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 04:15 PM EST

Benatar/McBride was the best with close second by the Dixie Chicks and James Taylor

jes Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 03:47 PM EST

OH! And I also loved Heart and Wynonna.

spud Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 09:34 AM EST

Yeah, I have to go with the Pat Benatar and Martina McBride session. They pretty much nailed each others songs throughout, and they are both smokin' hot!

jes Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 09:22 AM EST

To Elizabeth...ICAM!!! I even e-mailed CMT after the JT/DC Crossroads asking if/when cd's would be released. I gotta "No dice". Well, it was probably more professional than that but that was the jist.

Alison Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 09:10 AM EST

I love pretty much every episode of Crossroads, but a few that stand out in my mind are Maroon 5/Sara Evans, Kenny Chesney/John Mellencamp, and Bon Jovi/Sugarland.

I second the idea for CMT to release these sessions on a CD, or a DVD at least, because I've downloaded a few bootleg tracks but I would definitely be willing to pay for them if they were available.

sarah Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 08:56 AM EST

Bon Jovi and Sugarland, hands down. Jon Bon and Jennifer sounded so great together, especially on "believe", which CMT seriously needs to release on CD!

Elizabeth Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 06:06 AM EST

If CMT had any sense they'd put these sessions out on CD. There are about 4 off the top of my head I'd buy in a heartbeat.

Lucy Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 01:19 AM EST

Pat Benatar and Martina McBride "We Belong" and Maroon 5 and Sara Evans "Wake Up Call"

2cents Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 09:37 PM EST

Whenever I hear a new combo - I say "Ugh" - but everytime - they surprise me.

They have a winner here - they should just have one channel showing these over and over again.

And, CMT, by the way - the "M" stands for "Music" - enough of these non-music shows like reruns of Trading Spouses and Nanny 911 - play more music...

I watch much more of GAC - because they, like you, should be playing more music.

And catch Opry live on Saturday nights - really great performances of old and new acts. They are really honored to sing there.

Plum Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 09:21 PM EST

The Brad Paisley and John Mayer episode is my favorite by far. I still go on YouTube to watch them singing "Why Georgia" together. Brad sounds great!

MsDaisy Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 07:55 PM EST

That was Emmylou & Dave Matthews and Roseanne Cash & Steve Earle

Ryan B Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 06:54 PM EST

Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle

Ryan Adams and Elton John

Martina McBride and Pat Benatar

jaime Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 06:43 PM EST

Oh the best by far is KELLY & REBA!!! THEY DID AN AWESOME JOB~ and cus of the great response to that they have been touring together! Come to Houston please. . . .we are waiting!!!

doc Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 06:25 PM EST

The Dixie Chicks and James Taylor Crossroads was absolutely the best. The best part was watching Natalie's face as she watched James Taylor sing - her idol. If possible, their concerts together were even better.

A Taylor Swift/Def Leppard Crossroads scares me! A whole lot of off-key screamin' going on...especially on Taylor's part, which won't be much of a change for her.

Mike C. Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 05:29 PM EST

I loved the long-forgotten Ryan Adams/Elton John Crossroads. Oh My Sweet Carolina by Elton John was superb...

aymzer Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 04:48 PM EST

Loved Brad and John together. They have a similar sense of humor in my opinion. Good match.

Bobbi Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 04:14 PM EST

I loved Reba/Kelly. But more importantly, would someone PLEASE tell Taylor that she canNOT sing!! Like the songs she writes but everytime she opens her mouth, my ears start to bleed.

Karen Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 04:05 PM EST

I have to disagree with GatorGal. I thought Maroon 5 and Sara Evan's cover of "Leather and Lace" was one of the worse things ever. I love Adam but his voice is way too high for that song. That Crossroads show was only saved by Maroon 5.

The best crossroads yet has been Benatar and McBride. Benatar blew McBride out of the water- it was great!

jes Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 03:47 PM EST

My absolute FAVORITE Crossroads is James Taylor and the Dixie Chicks! Fantastic! I also saw them in concert together and it was amazing. My second fave is Sugarland and Bon Jovi. Obviously JBJ was/is married and I think Jennifer Nettles was at the time, as well, but you could have cut the sexual tension with a knife.

GatorGal Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 03:12 PM EST

The cover of Leather and Lace by Maroon 5 and Sara Evans was AWESOME!

Adan Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 03:02 PM EST

I loved the Maroon5/Sara Evans and Reba/Kelly. I am not looking forward to DL/TS though. Huge fan of DL. Not liking Taylor Swift at all. I do appreciate the talent that she has with her songwriting, but her voice does absolutely nothing for me. I have to change stations.

Evidently, with her millions in sales, I am the only one to feel that way though.

Nancy Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 02:52 PM EST

There was a James Taylor/Dixie Chicks Crossroads AND I MISSED IT?!?! I know what I'll be looking for online tonight. My favs are Bon Jovi/Sugarland (Who Says You Can't Go Home), Kelly/Reba (Fancy), Leann Rimes/Joss Stone (ditto on Summertime), and Lyle Lovett/Bonnie Raitt.
