Blue was written for Patsy Cline but she died in a accident and never sang it , the composer put the song away and said nobody could sing it, then one day he heard LeAnn Rimes sing in a talent contest at the age of 13 . he was so impressed that he got the song out of his safe and had LeAnn Rimes sing it. It is so much like Patsy so incredible.

Picked another great one; I remember when this first came out; impossible not to think of Patsy Cline; Leann did such a beautiful job on this song, and she was literally just a child. ❤️
So glad you did this one! She is yodeling, J. She was 13 when this came out in 1996. The song was written for Patsy Cline but she died before she could record it.
So HAPPY and EXCITED about this choice!!! She has an AMAZING voice and she was like 13 when she did this!! Young Tanya Tucker would be another great one to check out!!
@@jeanstrickland2445 I reported it also but I adore them and their channel and it infuriated me that someone would do this on their channel! Thank you, you are awesome!!
Great song, thanks. Her sound is much like Patsy Cline, who you have reviewed. Another artist that can hit that “yodel”, is Crystal Gale. Try listening to her hit “Don’t it Make My Brown Eyes Blue”.
this was the first song released on Leanns first album released in 1996 at age 13. in 1997 at age 14, Leann won best new artist at the grammy awards to become the youngest grammy winner ever ..... Leann has been singing since she was very young and even appeared on many contest shows including STAR SEARCH in 1991 at age 8.
Both versions were released on the same day and both were nominated for a Grammy. Leann performed the song on the award show, but Trisha won the Grammy. It was really awkward.
This song was written for Patsy Cline but she died in a plane crash before she could record it. They knew it needed the perfect voice so they saved it. Along comes hope 14 year old LeAnn Rimes end it couldn’t be sung by anybody else. She is an incredible yodeler!
She was 11 when she did the vocals 13 when The video is shot in the studio- And here is the proof in her own word th-cam.com/video/vhw_kXcjEc8/w-d-xo.html
I worked with her during this time in her career...she came to the label and sang in our lobby and it was amazing!!! This came out in 1996. You'll have to listen to the song "How Do I Live", also performed by Trisha Yearwood...we went to battle on the music charts with it. She recorded it for the movie "Con Air" and both were nominated for a grammy. It ultimately went to Trisha because LeAnn was "too young" to be a contender. We were so disappointed. PS: Love watching your reaction videos...you are both so joyful!!
I saw that award show and LeAnn got jipped big time! I was soooo sorry she lost to Trisha and I thought LeAnn was treated badly dimply because she was young.
You're just as amazed as everyone else was when this came out in the 90's. And then to learn that LeAnn Rimes was only 14 years old...mind blowing! Truly gifted! I'd like to suggest Bonnie Rhett for female Friday. The song is I Can't Make You Love Me. There's a great video of her being accompanied by Bruce Hornsby on piano. It's a beautiful song.
She has one of the sweetest voices in music history. How Do I Live was a great song for her & has been covered by so many singers. What she can do with a song is just amazing.
Yeah....I don't believe many people were shocked. The judges who acted like they didn't know it was her were either pretending for the drama on the show or they had never heard her sing before. Her voice is pretty unmistakable. She had even covered the song she sang in the finals,"The Story", on a previous album.
She was amazing on that show. I hope it helped dig her out of the bad press she got for the way her relationship with her husband began. People really crucified her for that.
@@tommesing4281 I used to watch Beverly Hills housewives a few years ago. The wife of the man Leann committed adultery with was on there. I'm sure the wifes opinion was slanted to her belief in what happened and he was a serial cheater anyway but if some things were even half true it was too much for me. Cheating with a married man is too much for me from the jump. Also he was a public figure and popular at the time so he would be attending events with his wife and children and it would be on entertainment shows so it's not like she didn't know
Absolutely an incredible voice. The scary thing is that she was in her early teens when she recorded that. Like 13 or 14 if I recall correctly. That is considered to be a yodel and she had great control over it. She also did an amazing cover of Patsy Cline’s song Crazy that is amazing.
She was only 13 years old when doing this video. Before she got famous, she sang at the Georgia State Fair right after my son sang. She was only 8 years old & man, she made everyone stop in their tracks to watch her. She's amazing! Even at 8 years old singing Unchained Melody!
Beautiful voice, beautiful song and she was only 13 years old when this record was released. She is blessed with an angelic voice and the 50s sound is correct amny compared her to Patsy Cline. Please "Blue Bayou" by Linda Ronstadt next.
Absolutely, love Linda Ronstadt!!! Blue Bayou is a great one, I also like the one she does with Aaron Neville called I don’t know much (all I need to know
Classic song, classic style, and yes, the sound is a yodel. Beautiful and a welcome addition to Female Friday. Great choice and thanks for another great reaction.
When She came out with this song it was an INSTANT hit. Reminded everyone of Patsy Cline, who was to record this song but passed away before she could do it. Even as a 13 year old, she was touted as having that old soul feel to her voice.
Yes, although Jay said her voice reminded him of Dolly Parton, it's really much closer to Patsy Cline's--even though Leann was only 13 years old when she recorded "Blue." Amazing!
I remember the first time I heard this song, I flat-out thought it was an unreleased track from Patsy Cline. LeAnn was so young when she recorded this. She has an incredible voice. Try listening to One Way Ticket and How Do I Live. Both awesome! Great reaction…💕
Leanne, was only 13, when she blew the music worlds minds with her God given voice, with this very song!!! No one, no one! Since, the Eternal Patsy Cline, has ever kicked our ass like this!! Thank you Jay and Amber, for sharing, and Loving this Amazing talent!!!❤
LeAnn Rimes has one of the most UNDERRATED voices in country music...she just needs some well written songs to get her back on the charts!! Plus she's also the youngest individual to ever win a Grammy! #icon
She has an outstanding voice, but she allowed drama into her career with an affair with a married man. She did not use good judgment. I feel that affected her career, and threw her off track.
Mid nineties song here very pure country Young singer LeAnn Rimes displays here very iconic...I think at the time everyone thought she was 30+ yrs old but yeah she was 11yrs old then re recorded the song to sound better . Well Done LeAnn Rimes.
Leann Rimes had an incredibly mature voice for someone so young. You’ll have to listen to her stellar How Do I Live Without You, one of the biggest hit songs ever. She also did a duet with Elton John that hit #29 in 1999: Written In The Stars.
Thank you for playing LeAnn Rimes! I love her voice…she’s amazing. You’ve got to listen to her rendition of Crazy!! She also did a live tribute performance for Patsy Cline a few years back that was incredible! BTW, I think she was 14 when she recorded Blue.
This was her first hit and it killed the record charts going on an impressive run. I was crushing so hard on her when I was 14. 1996 this song came out.
Hey guys. This song is old. It was pitched to Patsy Cline via a tape given to her husband. Sadly Patsy died before recording it. Leann does a great job on it. There is another great performance of it worth listening to as well. There is a family bluegrass/gospel band called The Petersens. One of the gals (Ellen) sings this song and is equally amazing. You should check out their band too. That is indeed yodeling. Whenever you hear that break at the high end (even if it's just one note) it's a yodel.
Patsy died before she ever heard the song. It was written in 1958 by Bill Mack. He has continually denied that he wrote it specially for Cline. Before LeAnn, the song was recorded by at least five artists (Mack himself in 1958, Kenny Roberts in 1966, Roy Drusky circa 1960-70s, Polly Stephens Exley in the late 1980s, and Kathryn Pitt in 1993).
"Blue” was written in 15 minutes by Bill Mack. In his autobiography Bill Mack’s Memories from the Trenches of Broadcasting. In it, he maintained that he never had Cline in mind while writing the song. Leeann was only 13 when she recorded it. At 14 she recorded "How Do I Live" It was to be used in the movie "Con Air". Hollywood executives thought LeAnn Rimes was too young to sing the song & got Trisha Yearwood to record the song.
There is also a video of Trisha and LeAnn doing the song together it's worth the watch. In my opinion Leann did the better single but I do like the combo of them together.
You guys are awesome. She is one of the best singers ever! Totally a modern day Patsy Cline. She won the masked singer a few years ago. Her voice is even richer now…❤️🎶
Despite info to the contrary, patsy cline was never any where near this song. But Leanne won all kinds of awards for her magnificent yodeling and vocal performance! So glad you’re doing this song.
Bill Mack wrote this song in 1958, in a matter of 15-20 minutes. He hoped to successfully pitch it to Patsy Cline. He recorded a demo and sent it to 4 star records, who signed Ms. Cline in 1954. When she moved to Decca Records, he sent a copy of the demo to them. It's not clear if she ever actually heard the demo.
Her debut hit at just 13! Beautifully done! I saw her in concert! Fabulous! Also, please, listen to her remake of Unchained Melody? She debuted in the 1990s, singing that old-style song the Patsy Cline was supposed to record; but she died before she could!
How Do I Live Without You is her best in my opinion, she's got an awesome powerful voice! She's the perfect singer to do a song like this, the yodeling and her voice, stunning!
I just LOVE the variety of music you guys react to. 50s, 60s, 70s...all genres. You children will grow up with such a respect and appreciation for all kinds of music. It's a beautiful thing to see. Keep it up! ❤
Leann has a great voice, and is a great technical singer. Some of her bests, are her versions of Righteous Brothers Unchained Melody 1998 AMA Awards or Hank Williams I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry AMC Awards. How Do I Live, Commitment, I Need You, Can't Fight the Moonlight, You Light Up My Life, Nothing Bout' Love Makes Sense, Probably Wouldn't Be This Way, she did an awesome version of Prince's Purple Rain.
Wow....loveeee this song!!! Since I'm new to your channel, I scrolled through your videos to see what all you've listened to/reacted to. You have such an amazing list of reallllly great songs in so many different genres! LOVE IT!! Looking forward to listening to so awesome music and watching your reactions....😊🤩
I remember hearing this in the car on the way home with my wife and young son. I thought it was Patsy Cline and at the end of the song the DJ said it was a young girl by the name of Leanne Rimes. Bought the album the next day! What a voice.
I’ve had the great pleasure of seeing LeAnn in concert in a small venue. The house was packed and it was a very intimate setting. Let me say, this woman is phenomenal live!!! She is one of the very few artist that I have seen that sound better live than on recording. I would see her an infinite amount of times over most artists, she is that amazing!
Brilliant. Went across the pond with some friends 25 years ago and we spent three weeks listening to this and Eric Clapton's 'Change the World' on the radio while driving 4000 miles from L.A. through San Francisco, Death Valley, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Tucson and Mexico before ending-up in San Diego where I bought this CD single before we flew back home.
Love this song so much! I sang this in my school's talent show, and I won with it because no one else sang anything like it, and I nailed it. It was a difficult song technically to get, and I planned to enter it that year, and I worked on it, and the hardest part was the yodeling, but finally, I ended up getting it, and I entered it when I was 15, and most of the people in the audience were impressed because I was so young. Love this song it's so nostalgic for me because of the talent show, and I really love this song. LeAnn Rimes is so underrated, and I'm glad you guys reacted to her. I think you should check out her other songs, like How do I live without you, I need you, and Nothin' Better to do.
The world had the same reaction the first time we saw her perform this song! Everyone was like "WHAT?!" She recorded BLUE, with its obvious Patsy Cline essences, when she was 13. The next year, it made her, at 14, the youngest Grammy winner ever! Did you notice the Hank Williams, Sr. reference "so lonely I could cry"? Listen to I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY by Hank Williams.
I remember when this song first came out, everyone thought she would be the next Patsy Cline. Unfortunately she decided to head into more pop/country later on but Blue will always be an amazing debut hit and showcase of her talent. ♥️♥️
her voice and style kind of reminds me of Jewel when she sings "Who Will Save Your Soul". That southern Yodel is comparable to the Irish Keening. Dolores O'Riordan was amazing and very well known for that type of playing with her vocals in the Cranberries. Her vocals in Dreams, and Zombie are fantastic.
Oo yes. She’s one of my favorite current artists. I got to hear her live a few years ago and it was amazing. She’s so down to earth too. The concert was just in a field and she was up there on a stool in her jean shorts. 😂 Her voice is insane though. I absolutely love it. ❤❤❤ I believe she was around 15 or 16 when she recorded this.
@@williamblessitt9957 Kinda. If you find her "All that" album, the version of Blue is the earlier recording. You can tell she re-recorded it for this release, so she was 13 singing this version. You can get a sense of her growth as a singer in such a short time.
The word you were looking for is “modulation,” when you were talking about the yodeling aspect. You have very good ears. I knew exactly what you meant. It’s a combination of yodeling, modulation, and melisma. ❤️ Great content. She was a teenager here!!!

I was going to comment as well that this song was written for Patsy Cline.
See writer Bill Mack's "Blue" 1958 recording and Kenny Roberts 1967 recording here on TH-cam.
I could hear Patsy singing this. It would have been amazing as is LeAnn Rimes version
Was it when she was younger? LeeAnn said she recorded the song at 11
Not true…
classiccountrymusic.com/leann-rimes-blue-was-not-written-with-patsy-cline-in-mind/
She's amazing isn't she?
" How Do I Live " is another good one.
She was only 13 when she released her cover of " Blue ".
Also released by Trisha Yearwood at the same time... and Trisha was pisssssed.
Both versions were released to radio on May 23, 1997.
They can do that song twice. Once with LeAnn Rimes. Then Trisha Yearwood also. Both came out the same day. Like them both.

She was 13 when she recorded this song. She won 2 Grammy awards for this song but was totally snubbed by the Country Music Awards the same year.
There's a lot of amazing vocalists and LeAnn Rimes is one of them.
LeAnn Rimes has one of the most UNDERRATED voices in country music...she just needs some well written songs to get her back on the charts!! Plus she's also the youngest individual to ever win a Grammy! #icon
Yes I totally agree with you. Have been requesting they review her song How Do I Breath for months on end. Would love to see their reaction to that!!!
She also won the masked singer
@@jacquelineanderson5011 I knew from the second she sang her first note who it was and figured she would win!
The music style is more Western than Country. She has fabulous vocal control.
And I love yodeling!

She has an outstanding voice, but she allowed drama into her career with an affair with a married man. She did not use good judgment. I feel that affected her career, and threw her off track.
She absolutely nails this song. I so enjoyed her
I keep saying I'm not into country music and then I listen to stuff like this and realize there's a looooooooooooot of exceptions. Man, so wonderful.
❤🎵 Great Tune !! So glad you guys are doing this one ! She was only 13 ! What a voice !!
Mid nineties song here very pure country Young singer LeAnn Rimes displays here very iconic...I think at the time everyone thought she was 30+ yrs old but yeah she was 11yrs old then re recorded the song to sound better . Well Done LeAnn Rimes.
She's done some amazing covers: "Crazy" by Patsy Cline, "Unchained Melody" (her high notes are off the charts in this one!)
This'll blow your mind even more. She was T-H-I-R-T-E-E-N‼️ when she sang this. The song was originally released in 1958 by Bill Mack.
Leann Rimes had an incredibly mature voice for someone so young. You’ll have to listen to her stellar How Do I Live Without You, one of the biggest hit songs ever. She also did a duet with Elton John that hit #29 in 1999: Written In The Stars.
Thank you for playing LeAnn Rimes! I love her voice…she’s amazing. You’ve got to listen to her rendition of Crazy!! She also did a live tribute performance for Patsy Cline a few years back that was incredible! BTW, I think she was 14 when she recorded Blue.
This was her first hit and it killed the record charts going on an impressive run. I was crushing so hard on her when I was 14. 1996 this song came out.
Wow! Holy Freaking Moly! Golly Gee-Wiz! What an amazing voice. Lovely song.
Hey guys. This song is old. It was pitched to Patsy Cline via a tape given to her husband. Sadly Patsy died before recording it. Leann does a great job on it. There is another great performance of it worth listening to as well. There is a family bluegrass/gospel band called The Petersens. One of the gals (Ellen) sings this song and is equally amazing. You should check out their band too. That is indeed yodeling. Whenever you hear that break at the high end (even if it's just one note) it's a yodel.
Patsy died before she ever heard the song. It was written in 1958 by Bill Mack. He has continually denied that he wrote it specially for Cline. Before LeAnn, the song was recorded by at least five artists (Mack himself in 1958, Kenny Roberts in 1966, Roy Drusky circa 1960-70s, Polly Stephens Exley in the late 1980s, and Kathryn Pitt in 1993).
I was ready to post that it sounds like a patsy cline song,then I read your post👍
I always feel like I've heard Patsy's version too but I guess it's just her voice is so distinct combined with Leann's take, you can imagine Patsy's
Love this song, one of those that gets repeated on my stereo!!!
@@belindakennedy5828 But you ignored the comment above yours.. Funny how people have selective reading.
"Blue” was written in 15 minutes by Bill Mack. In his autobiography Bill Mack’s Memories from the Trenches of Broadcasting. In it, he maintained that he never had Cline in mind while writing the song. Leeann was only 13 when she recorded it. At 14 she recorded "How Do I Live" It was to be used in the movie "Con Air". Hollywood executives thought LeAnn Rimes was too young to sing the song & got Trisha Yearwood to record the song.
LeAnn is a great talent, but I prefer Trisha Yearwood's version of "How Do I Live" over hers.
@@meredithchandler73 agree
There is also a video of Trisha and LeAnn doing the song together it's worth the watch. In my opinion Leann did the better single but I do like the combo of them together.
13? really? she looks about 30 in the video. wow.
LeAnn Rimes such a talented young woman with such a beautiful voice and I loved the way she sang Blue
You guys are awesome. She is one of the best singers ever! Totally a modern day Patsy Cline. She won the masked singer a few years ago. Her voice is even richer now…❤️🎶
I close my eyes and hear Patsy Cline. One of my favorites
This song is 🔥🔥🔥
This reminded me of Tanya Tucker, who was 13 when she had her first hit Delta Dawn.
YES!!!! Begging for them to react to Young Tanya Tucker
Delta Dawn
What's Your Momma's Name
No Man's Land
Also, Marie Osmond when she had the hit "Paper Roses" at age 13!
I love that song
"Strong enough to bend" is my favorite T.T. song
Despite info to the contrary, patsy cline was never any where near this song. But Leanne won all kinds of awards for her magnificent yodeling and vocal performance! So glad you’re doing this song.
Bill Mack wrote this song in 1958, in a matter of 15-20 minutes. He hoped to successfully pitch it to Patsy Cline. He recorded a demo and sent it to 4 star records, who signed Ms. Cline in 1954. When she moved to Decca Records, he sent a copy of the demo to them. It's not clear if she ever actually heard the demo.
Patsy DID record it:

@@mjrbuffettfan That's her picture. But, it's LeAnne Rimes voice.
@@darrinlindsey apparently, Patsy’s husband pitched the idea to her in 1962. Whether she intended to is not known.
I still like Patsy better.
Her debut hit at just 13! Beautifully done! I saw her in concert! Fabulous! Also, please, listen to her remake of Unchained Melody? She debuted in the 1990s, singing that old-style song the Patsy Cline was supposed to record; but she died before she could!
You enjoyed the heavenly voice of Leann Rimes singing “Blue.”
Her rendition of “Amazing Grace” will blow you away.
How Do I Live Without You is her best in my opinion, she's got an awesome powerful voice! She's the perfect singer to do a song like this, the yodeling and her voice, stunning!
Leann Rimes came out with this song in 1996 at 13 years old Beautiful!!
I just LOVE the variety of music you guys react to. 50s, 60s, 70s...all genres. You children will grow up with such a respect and appreciation for all kinds of music. It's a beautiful thing to see. Keep it up! ❤
Leann has a great voice, and is a great technical singer. Some of her bests, are her versions of Righteous Brothers Unchained Melody 1998 AMA Awards or Hank Williams I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry AMC Awards. How Do I Live, Commitment, I Need You, Can't Fight the Moonlight, You Light Up My Life, Nothing Bout' Love Makes Sense, Probably Wouldn't Be This Way, she did an awesome version of Prince's Purple Rain.
Her duet with Eddy Arnold on Cattle Call
I love her voice and her songs. Her cd Family really gave me chills.
Wow....loveeee this song!!!
Since I'm new to your channel, I scrolled through your videos to see what all you've listened to/reacted to. You have such an amazing list of reallllly great songs in so many different genres! LOVE IT!! Looking forward to listening to so awesome music and watching your reactions....😊🤩
“Nothing Better to Do” is a great song by her and a great video. You both would love it.
Thanks guys! So glad you found this one. Congratulations again on the new edition.😁
You two are awesome, to play this recording of LeAnn Rimes. She is really, really good.
I remember hearing this in the car on the way home with my wife and young son. I thought it was Patsy Cline and at the end of the song the DJ said it was a young girl by the name of Leanne Rimes. Bought the album the next day! What a voice.
She has a purity to her voice. She doesn’t need to do runs. Most artist today over use the runs. Can’t believe she was 14 yrs old here!
13
Hearing this song year's later to this day brought tears to my eyes, this is what you call a true Country Singer, Keep on keeping on LeAnn.
I’ve had the great pleasure of seeing LeAnn in concert in a small venue. The house was packed and it was a very intimate setting. Let me say, this woman is phenomenal live!!! She is one of the very few artist that I have seen that sound better live than on recording. I would see her an infinite amount of times over most artists, she is that amazing!
Do another LeAnn Rimes song, called "How Do I Live" its so beautiful. One of my absolute favorites!
I don't listen to much county at all, but there's a couple of country tunes that do that feeling for me, and this has always been one of them.
Brilliant. Went across the pond with some friends 25 years ago and we spent three weeks listening to this and Eric Clapton's 'Change the World' on the radio while driving 4000 miles from L.A. through San Francisco, Death Valley, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Tucson and Mexico before ending-up in San Diego where I bought this CD single before we flew back home.
Great choice-she is an amazing singer!!
she was 13 at the time and very talented indeed! such a Beautiful Voice and Beautiful Woman! ❤
May I suggest you listen to Linda Ronstadt - Blue Bayou
Love this song so much! I sang this in my school's talent show, and I won with it because no one else sang anything like it, and I nailed it. It was a difficult song technically to get, and I planned to enter it that year, and I worked on it, and the hardest part was the yodeling, but finally, I ended up getting it, and I entered it when I was 15, and most of the people in the audience were impressed because I was so young. Love this song it's so nostalgic for me because of the talent show, and I really love this song. LeAnn Rimes is so underrated, and I'm glad you guys reacted to her. I think you should check out her other songs, like How do I live without you, I need you, and Nothin' Better to do.
Hard to believe we've had almost 30 years ol this masterpiece. Yes, a gift from God. ❤ LeAnn!
From the moment I heard her voice and then saw LeAnn Rimes I fell in love. 25 years later I still love her voice
I'm so happy you reacted to her. I get goosebumps when she belts out those notes
The world had the same reaction the first time we saw her perform this song! Everyone was like "WHAT?!" She recorded BLUE, with its obvious Patsy Cline essences, when she was 13. The next year, it made her, at 14, the youngest Grammy winner ever! Did you notice the Hank Williams, Sr. reference "so lonely I could cry"? Listen to I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY by Hank Williams.
This was a while ago. She was literally a teenager when she made this song. Her voice is amazing. Also check out How do I live
I remember when this song first came out, everyone thought she would be the next Patsy Cline. Unfortunately she decided to head into more pop/country later on but Blue will always be an amazing debut hit and showcase of her talent. ♥️♥️
This was one of my favorite songs, she was only 14, I think. I think you are right about calling it yodeling, I can't think of another word.
her voice and style kind of reminds me of Jewel when she sings "Who Will Save Your Soul". That southern Yodel is comparable to the Irish Keening. Dolores O'Riordan was amazing and very well known for that type of playing with her vocals in the Cranberries. Her vocals in Dreams, and Zombie are fantastic.
Another great song Leann sung was "How do I Live" originally from the Jesus 2000 soundtrack. Such a beautiful song.
Oo yes. She’s one of my favorite current artists. I got to hear her live a few years ago and it was amazing. She’s so down to earth too. The concert was just in a field and she was up there on a stool in her jean shorts. 😂 Her voice is insane though. I absolutely love it. ❤❤❤ I believe she was around 15 or 16 when she recorded this.
LeAnn was only 14 when she recorded this song. Amazing angelic voice.
She was 12 when recorded....13 when released...14 when she received the award ...agree amazing voice...
@@williamblessitt9957 Kinda. If you find her "All that" album, the version of Blue is the earlier recording. You can tell she re-recorded it for this release, so she was 13 singing this version. You can get a sense of her growth as a singer in such a short time.
Other great songs by her are “How Do I Live”, “I Need You”, and “Nothin’ Bout Love Makes Sense”!
The word you were looking for is “modulation,” when you were talking about the yodeling aspect. You have very good ears. I knew exactly what you meant. It’s a combination of yodeling, modulation, and melisma. ❤️ Great content. She was a teenager here!!!
And that isn't even one of her best songs. She is amazing.
She's amazing, great reaction and it's no wonder she won the MASKED SINGER
When I 1st heard her singing this Pasty Cline song . I fell in Love , DANG . gREAT rEACTION Guys
So amazing! I couldn’t believe it when I found out how old she was.
