When this song first came out, no one could believe LeAnn was only 13. Her voice sounded so mature. Reminded everyone of Patsy. Great song. Simply amazing! 😎
Remarkably, the single was recorded when she was 11. There's an interview with her on You Tube where she explains that she recorded it as an 11 year-old, it was re-recorded for release as a single when she was 13 - but there was a mix-up with the tapes and it was the original version which ended-up being released.
Just a few years ago she won The Masked Singer and totally stumped two of the four judges. She had an amazing voice at 13 and still has one today. I love to hear her!!! Great job Beth.
Another great singer is Alison Krauss. I really like her cover of "When You Say Nothing At All" (official music video). Worth a listen even if you don't make a video about it :)
If you weren't there at the time, you'd have no idea how she shook the music world. And she came out at a time when country was LOADED with amazing artists. Blew them all away!
LeAnn makes Carrie sound like a dying dog. There's Lee, Ronstadt, LeAnn to name three that make it sound so easy. The voice just flows out effortlessly. All three have amazing head voices as well. Crystal clear.
Beth, I live in Dallas, Texas and, although I didn't know Bill Mack personally, I knew many who did. You see, I came to Dallas in 1995 to take a radio job which, initially, was to be on the air from 7P-Midnight. In those early years, on the drive home, I would listen to Bill Mack on another station, 50,000 watt WBAP 820 AM, which, at night, could be heard throughout most of the lower 48 states. His show was "The Midnight Truckers' Radio Network", listened to by, well..... truckers all over the country during the wee hours. I remember listening shortly after this song first broke and hearing Bill talk about it on the radio. He was proud, as he should've been. I remember being chuffed about a good dude like Bill, a long working, regular guy from Texas, finally hitting the big time. I felt the same for LeeAnn who, by the way, grew up in Garland, Texas, just outside of Dallas. Unfortunately, Bill passed in 2020 at the age of 88. Oh, and I've said it before...I really appreciate the fact that you actually do research on the subjects of your reactions.
She's still singing big time these days and she hasn't lost a thing! When she sings a medley of songs in tribute to Patsy Cline, it is 'somethin' else' and the audience loves her so much!
LeAnn Rimes as a teenage young lady professional took nearly everything on herself for her brand her company her people with families that all relied on her ( her paraphrased words ). She is so talented, skilled, amazing,...she nearly worked herself to death. I pray she's good and well after that early life supremely heavy challenge. 😊
LeAnnes voice is pure Angelic! Her voice is like warm sunshine all over your body, down into your soul. Her and Patsy Cline are in a total class of their own. Nobody has this sound and smoothness in vocal transitions. Just so much feeling and heavenly. ❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoyed your reaction Beth! Thanks for the back story regarding the song. I only knew part of it. It still amazes me how young LeAnn Rimes was when she recorded it.
Loved your description of what happens with the vocal cords. I have always had trouble singing over my break smoothly and your explanation has given me a lot more clarity about what is going on inside. Thank you!
Would love to see your reaction to some of LeAnn's versions of Patsy Cline songs such "Crazy" and "Leavin' on Your Mind"...she evokes the spirit and qualities of Patsy's vocals but remains true to her own style...
As a middle-aged American from flyover country, I'm loving your foray into Country Music. LeAnn made it so big so young, but her voice is so much more than the yodeling. You should listen to something different like "How Do I Live" with Elton John or even her version of "Amazing Grace"
The most amazing thing about this song was how old school it was. The song was written in 1958 but she perfumed it so well no one really cared. The fact she was only 13 I think was a huge deal.
I saw her at a local car show in Dallas right before this song came out. I was a kid too, younger than her and thought she sounded amazing. I was an instant fan! I got to see her again years later when I was a teenager and she had a successful career. It's so fun to look back at her and bring those old memories up. What a voice!
@@bflandragon90 She has a beautiful, Patsy Cline style voice. I'm not a country music fan, but 14 is even more, is bizarre the right word? Maybe incredible?
You may not have known about her unless you were born in the late to early 70s, being she is 42 years old. I knew of Cline being she was alive after I was born and my older brother would listen to her records. I also knew of Rines about this song that I bought the CD right away. Also, someone else had sung this song just not so young as LeAnn. I have heard this song by another woman before Rines, only LeAnn killed and own the song after she recorded it. To date Rines is just like she was in this clip friendly with her audience now. She mostly does small shows, plus she was as the Sun on the TV show 'Mask Singer'. I love listening to her only her cover songs not her original songs. Yes, she still has that voice.
She does a great duet with Elton John "Written in the Stars" from the soundtrack of the cartoon "The Road to Eldorado". She also has a very, very beautiful song called "How Do I Live Without You".
The yodeler that you showed for your example is someone who I used to listen to a very long time ago when I was a child and lived in Germany. His name is Franzel Lang. He is amazing
Can't wait. It was written for Patsy Cline originally but she never had the chance to record it. The writer finally decided that LeAnn was worthy to sing it.
@@MidnightTokenFloydChatAccount Bill Mack did pitch the song to Patsy Cline 5 or 6 years after his Starday recording of "Blue". I have a Starday 45 of "Blue" and Bill Mack's Starday recording of his song "Drinking Champagne". I think both are excellent recordings. I find it interesting that you use Midnight in your TH-cam channel name as Bill Mack used the moniker "Midnight Cowboy" on his WBAP nightly radio show.
That isn’t something you can learn. That was a natural vocal gift! Leann Rimes is one of the best singers in the world. And if you hear her now, she sings even better! ❤ Please react to her song: “Spaceship”
My sister's in laws know/knew LeAnn's parents and they'd often have her sing when the families got together before she was famous. Even as a very young girl, she had that powerful voice.
Now that's a voice...natural talent. We tried to see her in Laughlin, NV on vacay but it was sold out. BTW..that lady interviewer@BBC did a good job on Crazy but the best way to do it...put on Patsy Cline. Forward to the new year! 🎉
Leanne released an album called "Leanne" and, it's a pretty much Patsy Cline covers and a few other tracks. It's absolutely brilliant and really highlights her incredible talent.
The song blue was written by Bill Mack. He was an area DJ in the Dallas Fort Worth area. He first released the song in 1958 but it really didn’t go anywhere. So he waited until the perfect person came along, and that was LeAnn Rimes
I'm a rocker, but when I heard this song for the first time in the 90s, it stopped me dead in my tracks and ask, who is that? Needless to say, I was floored when I learned and have been a fan ever since. LeAnn has the PIPES!!
I first saw Ms. Leanne at the 1996 watermelon festival in Arcadia, Fl. She was singing on a flatbed trailer. I knew then that she would be a star. Love this lady.
She’s actually 11 in this recording. She was 13 when it was released. I recently saw an interview with LeAnn on TH-cam, where she was talking about the release of “Blue”. She said her dad actually didn’t like “Blue”, and threw it in the trash. Leann was 10 at the time. She dug the song out of the garbage, learned it herself. By the time her dad returned home, she had already made the song her own by adding the yodel. Also, she said she recorded two versions of “Blue”. One when she was 11, and the other when she was 13. Leann said the wrong one was released. So, all these years the version we’ve been listening to is the one she recorded when she was 11. I’m from Tyler , TX where “Blue” was recorded at Rosewood Studios.
Leanne is beautiful❤she is like elvis❤she has a god given voice❤I was watching the awards show when lovely Reba introduced her and she sang the song.❤everyone on the show went nuts❤LeAnn a beautiful lady......................be water my friend
LeAnn will be 42 later this year. She recorded Blue in 1994, and it became a hit a year later in 1995 when she was 13. You keep mentioning "I keep forgetting how young she is here", but this was shot well into her adult years. Yes, still young relatively speaking, but not young teenager young. You can see and hear the difference in her voice by comparing the music video for this song with this video. Her voice has warmed and matured as she's gotten older. Thanks for your insight, Beth.
Brenda Lee was 12 years old when she had her first hit. Tanya Tucker and Marie Osmond were also 13 years old when they had hit songs, but they didn't win a Grammy. When LeAnn first started people were saying she was the next Patsy Cline.
When I first heard this on the radio I thought it was a Patsy Cline song & I wondered how did I miss this Patsy song ?? Then I found out it was 13 year old LeAnn Rimes !!! Great song & Singer ...
There couldn't have been a better choice to cover a song that was meant for Patsy. They're very similar singers, especially back then when LeeAnn was that age.
This is my first time watching this performance. I have watched the M/V and listened to the album version before. I like what she is wearing. She is the Golden Child. LeAnn Rimes and Trisha Yearwood released the song "How Do I Live" around the same time. You should react to both songs back to back and pick your favorite. I'll keep watching your other reactions.
Beth I've been away for a while. I see that you are reacting / analyzing a few more popular vocalists (Leann Rimes, Bob Seger). I know it is hard to find actual live performances, but have you considered Agnetha Faltskog?
Dónde as estado acaso me quieres volver loco mujer ❓🥀👏👏🍀🍀 bonita voz bonita canción bonita cantante buena forma de empezar el año bien Beth me gustó mucho el vídeo 💙
If you want to hear another song with a similar technique, check out "Lonesome Blue" by the legend Hank Williams Sr. "Country" music don't really use these classic characteristics nowadays, sadly.
Martina McBride-where would you be…I think she’s the best voice in country…I watched a video about how she is one of the most accurate if not the most accurate singers out there. Interested in your take
This live performance is much better than the actual single that was released, which had way too much processing and effects on it. I even found the phone number of her father, who was her manager, and left a voice recording complaining about it.

Yep! You summarized this perfectly!
The song was originally written for Patsy Cline.
Should listen to leann sing pasty songs!
@@kathyclevenger1015 Beth specifically addressed this misconception.

50 years as a metal fan and this is one of my favorite vocals of all time. Simply beautiful whatever your taste.
Just a few years ago she won The Masked Singer and totally stumped two of the four judges. She had an amazing voice at 13 and still has one today. I love to hear her!!! Great job Beth.
I knew it was her from the first line of the first song, her voice is so her!
This a cappella cover of Billie Eillish's "When the Party's Over" really stunned the audience. th-cam.com/video/I_5WQNm0nvc/w-d-xo.html
She was amazing!
Masked singer is such a dumb show
...and not just her voice, but her performance/stage-presence is so beyond her years as well!
Another great singer is Alison Krauss. I really like her cover of "When You Say Nothing At All" (official music video). Worth a listen even if you don't make a video about it :)
"I've Got That Old Feeling" and "Maybe" are also good.
If you weren't there at the time, you'd have no idea how she shook the music world. And she came out at a time when country was LOADED with amazing artists. Blew them all away!
LeAnn does an awesome a cappella version of Amazing Grace that I have always liked.
I honestly think she’s so underrated. What a great artist.
One of the most underrated singers ever. Long before the Carrie Underwood there was LeAnn.
LeAnn makes Carrie sound like a dying dog. There's Lee, Ronstadt, LeAnn to name three that make it sound so easy. The voice just flows out effortlessly. All three have amazing head voices as well. Crystal clear.
@larrylindgren9484 don't forget Karen Carpenter!
@@lorettatayor5840 And Eva Cassidy!

You going off talking about yodeling, there is a duet with LeAnn and Eddie Arnold called Cattle Call, worth a listen

I was a teenage boy in Texas when Leanne hit the scene... She was a force I was powerless against 😂

Or her version of the Rose with the Gay Mens' Chorus of Los Angeles
I heard this when it first came out and was astounded, both by the song and by the age of the singer.
Awesome. Love that yodel!
She has been my favourite singer ever since this song came out 🙂
The most amazing thing about this song was how old school it was. The song was written in 1958 but she perfumed it so well no one really cared. The fact she was only 13 I think was a huge deal.
Goodness Beth! What an insightful analysis. Love this reaction to one my favorite all time female singer / musicians.
I Love the way she sings this song...hard to believe she is so young
I’m really looking forward to this, especially if it is a first time reaction.
When you're born in Jackson Mississippi that's the voice you come out with
Another great yodeler is Jewel.
Check out her doing Amazing Grace accapella. She was very young then also. It is just beautiful.
I saw her at a local car show in Dallas right before this song came out. I was a kid too, younger than her and thought she sounded amazing. I was an instant fan!

When LeAnn Rimes was 16(?), she put out an album, "LeAnn Rimes, the Early Years". imagine that!
14. Came out in early 97.

LeAnn won “The Masked Singer” competition a few years ago…she’s talented!
This is one of a very few songs that I remember exactly where I was and when I first heard it.

This is from her televised concert on June 22, 1997, so at the time of this performance she's 14, about two months from her 15th birthday.
her cover of "purple rain' is awesome
Love to hear her sing. Her version of Unchained Melody is absolutely perfect.
Okay she was amazing on this cover but, her "Can't Fight The Moonlight" dance track is amazing too.
I was so jealous of her! I loved to sing and we are the same age 😊
Check out her winning performances on year 4 of US version of The Masked Singer. Leave you in tears...as it did with every judge.
Can't wait. It was written for Patsy Cline originally but she never had the chance to record it. The writer finally decided that LeAnn was worthy to sing it.

Wonderful reaction and explanation of yodeling. If you haven't already heard it, please listen to LeAnn's live Carol of the Bells.
I first saw Ms. Leanne at the 1996 watermelon festival in Arcadia, Fl. She was singing on a flatbed trailer. I knew then that she would be a star. Love this lady.
Canadian country singer Francelle is the best yodel singer I've heard. She won European yodel contests years ago.
She’s actually 11 in this recording. She was 13 when it was released.

a pedal steel, steel guitar as opposed to a lap steel guitar. :) she has done several out of genre songs including Prince's Purple Rain.
She sings marvelous! And this song seems like it if it were a 50th's song
written for Patsy Cline in 1959
