YMMV / Faith Hill

• Audience-Alienating Era: Cry, with its pop crossover sheen, all but alienated her from country radio. While Cry was successful at pop radio, it bombed at country, and many fans accused her of selling out completely after years of crossovers such as "This Kiss" and "Breathe" had already set her down the path. She ultimately managed to mostly Win Back the Crowd with Fireflies.
• Covered Up:
  • "Wild One" had been recorded by at least two bands nobody's ever heard of (Evangeline and Zaca Creek) before Faith got to it.
  • "Just to Hear You Say That You Love Me" was originally released by Chynna Phillips of Wilson Phillips.
  • In a more extreme example, Faith was completely unaware that "Piece of My Heart" was (originally by Emma Franklin and more famously Covered Up) by Big Brother and the Holding Company until long after she'd cut it. Some critics disliked Faith's cover for sounding too upbeat, but when she sings it live, she sticks closer to the feel of the Big Brother and the Holding Company version.
  • Her 2011 single "Come Home" is a OneRepublic cover.
• Win Back the Crowd: Fireflies returned to the country-oriented direction of her 1990s material, and lead single "Mississippi Girl"'s lyrics were written to assure the audience that Faith had not forgotten her Southern roots. It worked; "Mississippi Girl" went to #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart (her last song to date to do so).
