Carrie, from 2004 to 2021 has not missed a beat.

Her unbelievable range and control allows her to hit any note, any time.

Carrie can sustain those notes and go through octaves you never knew existed. It’s freaky.

CeCe is no slouch either. Winans has been awarded 12 Grammy Awards and 23 GMA Dove Awards. She also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She has 3.5 million record sales certified by RIAA, and 5 million estimated in total sales. Eight of her solo albums are top Christian music sellers.

She’s more than qualified to sing with Carrie.

As Cece exits, Carrie launches in to “How Great Thou Art“. And this is one version that will shatter the darkness of doubt and despair, replacing it with the light of hope. Underwood’s voice is unbelievable. Ridiculous.

Kelsey Baker commented,

“Can we talk about how well CeCe and Carrie bounced off one another? Powerhouse vocals from both. Seriously amazing.”

While another left a heartfelt note of gratitude saying,

“Thank you, Carrie, for not being afraid to sing about Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Especially on live television. God bless you!”

Listen and watch in wonder as Carrie and CeCe lift their voices to the highest heavens below!
