Reba McEntire Brings "Strange" New Video to Life
Reba McEntire knows how to make a music video -- and how to act. She's become a musical master at her rather mini-movies. I think it's her intensity in "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia," her sincerity in "Fancy," or maybe it's her anticipation in "Is There Life Out There?" She's believable in "Because of You," compelling in "Cowgirls Don't Cry" and quite convicting in her most recent and feisty video, "Strange." Though she's singing of a relationship gone sour, instead of pining over her lost love, she's feeling invigorated -- even deciding whether or not to spend her next paycheck on a black strapless dress. While this video is less dramatic than some in the past, it fits the song quite nicely. She looks magnificent, brings her steady and fiery passion and delivers yet another video victory.
And keep in mind as you watch: Reba has been making videos since 1984, but this is the first time she's ever played with her band in a music video .... Strange, I know.

Well said. Looking at her music video body of work - you can see that whatever the song, Reba is a wonderful storyteller. It’s part of what makes her a great singer and such an engaging performer. This video is fun and sexy. Reba is just plan fabulous. :)
One small correction - I know Reba says 1984 in an interview, but I do believe the video for “Whoever’s In New England” came out in 1986. Hey, if I’d made as many music videos as she has, I might not recall the year either!
Mark says:
Reba always puts out great videos, this one is no exception!
scott says:
Hopefully this propels Strange into the top ten and then to number 1. Reba looks fantastic, I can’t believe she’s 54. Vote for Reba on Gac for artist of the decade.
