The fact that she is 14 years old and is performing one of the most difficult song to sing properly live without any apparent effort and so amazingly well is mindboggling. The best version of this song I have ever heard bar the original, and even then, she's only a half-step behind the Righteous Brothers.
Legit question, what makes this one of the most difficult song to sing? I love the righteous brothers version of this song. She sings it beautifully too.
Whats the matter with these arseholes who voted thumbs down on this singer and song (This child is only 14 years old for F** sakes) but she sang it so perfectly and from the heart, and made a bloody good job of a difficult and pitched song,,,,,,you few must have cloth ears and no sense of music brilliance, you all must lead sad and dismal lives......well done sweetie, you sang beautifully and carried a hard to sing song to it's wonderful limits....we are all proud of you xxx
I fully agree with you about Rimes. In fact I prefer her version over The Righteous Brother's more popular version. She sings like Linda Ronstadt (e.g. "Long, Long Time"). Or Amanda Marshall (e.g. "If I Didn't Have You"). Or Alannah Myles (e.g. "Break The Silence"). Or Berlin (e.g. "Take My Breath Away"). But I'm viewing this video in Aug 2024 and I notice that there is no "Thumbs Down" on it. I have a Firefox Add on that allows me to view "Thumbs Down" on any Video. But perhaps TH-cam removed the Thumbs Down numbers 2 years ago? My only complaint is that this song does not appear of any of Rime's main Records but only on her 1997 Compilation record.
She has a voice of an angel, such a Precious, confused, little soul. Her voice can move Nations. She probably doesn't even realize how good she is, a voice from heaven for sure. Leanne, God and 99.9 of the nation loves you!
LeAnn has a voice that can only be challenged by a few singers. To all the thumbs down people, Please post your video of YOU singing this song and let us here YOU!!! Let me know when you post your video.
I remember the first time I heard her sing. I was eleven at the time and couldn't believe that a voice like that was coming out of someone who was only three years older than I 'am.
This was one of my grandma's favorite songs. It's almost been a year since she passed and I still tear up whenever I hear any artist sing this song. Leann has definitely gifted us with her voice covering this song.
I find myself coming back to watch this over and over since the first time I seen it. There's so much to be interpreted here that goes beyond her ridiculously talented vocals. At 14 years old LeAnne was already a star. She has been in and out of studios her entire childhood and pretty much doubled as a working adult when she wasn't just trying to be a kid. That's when the significance of it being at Disney World hits me because if u think about it she's there performing this "gig" as an adult and you can tell by the way she sings this she has had experience with the yearning for love even at this incredibly young age. However I'm sure there's also a part of her that's like "wow this is freaking Disney World!" She probably also wanted to go explore and immerse herself in this incredible place for kids. I know because I was 12 when my family took us and it was such a magical experience for a kid. It would have been around the same time too as she is only slightly older than me. The contrast of feelings for her between her adult self and child self here at this place must have been so overwhelming. If I ever got the chance to ask LeAnn a question it would certainly be how she was feeling at this moment. I wonder if she has ever spoken about it in any interviews.
Such a crying shame the current Disney CEO is one of those WOK'ers. Disney Board should do their jobs and replace the guy as the price of the stock continues to dump.
I remember pulling my car to the side of the road, it was in the late 80s--I was so mesmerized by this song when I first heard it. Such a rare voice. Thank you, Leann.
Yeah I know I was thinking that same thing too as well, the first time I'd heard her sing, I knew she would be so successful in her career as a great artist in singing, not bad as an actor either!
When I heard from her the first time, I'd knew she was a sure winner in becoming a great artist in singing, her whole family is great artists as well, she also acts & she is great @ that too!
She really is a flawless singer not a bad note I heard from her ever like the legends I often listen to. I think she delivered 3:15- 3:30 with a single breath.
She was 14 years olds, the range of her voice, truly amazing. American talent at its finest. LeAnn is now ready to receive the baton from Patsy . Yes sir and a beautiful American women, from the south. Again truly amazing.
I felt that I died went to heaven and an Angel was welcoming me home with her beautiful voice. I loved it..!! Thank you, RR83y, for posting a favorite song by the lovely and so talented young Leann Rimes since at the time she was only 14 yrs. God bless...
Technically perfect -- but the true magic of this performance is that she so clearly enjoyed what she was doing and in putting her whole heart and soul into singing -- while still smiling at and 'flirting' with the little kids in the audience. Great backup musicians as well.
She gave a stellar performance on the Billy Joel Gershwin Prize show. I had no idea she could sing like that.....absolutely beautiful....Made me a fan..
I first heard this in 1956 when my British soldier husband was posted to fight the troubles in Cyprus. I think my copy was by Al Hibbler. I just love it.
Bravo to Her for that Incredibly Great Version of a Magnificent Song. Only One person could've Do it any Finer Justice and He is No longer with Us, too do that Very Thing. May He and His Brother RIP eternally With God. The Righteous Brothers. May We Never Forget Them? 🎗️🎗️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️🤍💙🤞🤞🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙌
What an amazing talent she is to sing like this at such a young age when kids at that age don't even know who they are or what they want to be yet. She has a beautiful voice and undeniable immense talent.
Bobby Hatfield would be proud! Le Ann sang unchained Melody 🎵, one of the most beautiful songs ever Written, as it was meant to be sung! Get back out there Le Ann, you are “LOVED ❤️”
02127ldp I can visually it perfectly. The Almighty, and the Mississippi sun, grew one lovely looking gal. She not only has a stunning voice, she is also stunningly pretty and beautiful and oh.... can't come up with any more superlatives. Such talented men and women are national treasures. When I'm having a less than good day, listening to her puts me in another dimension, a parallel universe. And that face staring at you from the front of the album cover is supreme. When she sings a song accapella, it is mind-blowing, reminding me of what Joan Baez could do with Amazing Grace, another gal with perfect pitch, and a pleasure to see perform. I got ticked when CDs and DVDs came out, b/c when you bought one of the old vinyl 33 1/3 records, you had a pic worth framing b/c the cover was almost a foot in diameter. Yuk, buy a CD or DVD today and you almost need a magnifying glass to view the pictures. Not fair. They took away half of the pleasure. And not much after that, music was called an MP3, and had a bunch of letters and numbers in your PC directory.
wowsers that was a hi note she hit there and a true God given talent, I remember her performing as a kid on local Dallas news channels, she was amazing
....and she still is AMAZING with the 'chops, that she has. All haters aside...to me, HATE is @ many times, an ugly, 4-letter word. With that being said, I LOVE her singing voice/ability.
+Teresa Walker I did had the same thoughts until I heard Sir Elton John and Bruno Mars Duet of unchained melody....I know how difficult it is to sing this song specially to make your audience feel the emotion of every single word of the song....They performed it with a orchestra using the same arrangement as the Righteous Brothers....Honestly I couldn't breath................
Mate Elvis was singing wrong notes and watchin him love singing it made me sick because he so unwell and trying to sing this emotional song is just too much. Yea he did ok but he wasnt well when he sung it and For that I cant watch it like.
This gave me goose bumps. When I first heard this song on the radio, I had no idea who she was, but managed to catch her name. I immediately stopped at a mall to buy her album and was shocked to learn she was only fourteen. She was not just extremely good for fourteen, she was (and is) extremely good for any age.
Heard this song on the radio 8/11/17 and went immediately to you tube and found her. Best female rendition I've heard so far.....such a beautiful voice.
very few 14 year old girls have the ability to sing like this. truly a god given talent
The fact that she is 14 years old and is performing one of the most difficult song to sing properly live without any apparent effort and so amazingly well is mindboggling. The best version of this song I have ever heard bar the original, and even then, she's only a half-step behind the Righteous Brothers.
Couldn’t agree with this more. Stunning performance.
Legit question, what makes this one of the most difficult song to sing? I love the righteous brothers version of this song. She sings it beautifully too.
Was she really 14? Wow what a voice
@@johnbell2677 Yes indeed she was!
14? She’s wearing a wedding ring.

I don't know why people would give her a thumbs down either she sang beautiful
We still love you LeAnn Rimes
This is pure God given talent..no adjusting her voice just absolutely beautiful. Had to listen to it several times. Thank you! God
Just recently have started to listen to her all over again! I like pipes, the woman has pipes!
Your absolutly right. She had nothing to do with this.....it's all God. How stupid is that.
This isn't your platform for your wacky religious beliefs nutbar ,.Leann is extremely talented, nothing to do with your imaginary friend haha.
@@jeffrey8783 yep! So stupid.
Her vocals are PRICELESS !!! She sang it just perfect...
3:25 That might be the most beautiful note ive ever heard sung live like that. Powerful voice.
She has a voice of an angel, such a Precious, confused, little soul. Her voice can move Nations. She probably doesn't even realize how good she is, a voice from heaven for sure. Leanne, God and 99.9 of the nation loves you!
And not only your nation too.
She's been singing like this for so long that sometimes I forget she just turned 34 a few months ago.
She was 14??? She sounded so grownup... this sends chills to my body, such feeling and emotion when I hear her voice
God can that girl sing! Unbelievable!
Plus the fact that this was a live session not a studio. She always sounds great.
I can't believe she was only 14. Simply amazing!
Leann is one of the greatest voices EVER. The talent is beyond amazing.
absolutely stunning voice!
She definitely did the song justice!
Christa Lazard .... very beautiful. .. all the way, I scored her 2nd. Elvis is #1.
Trino Ponce the righteous brothers bro the righteous brothers
*" BEAUTIFUL!!"*
Yes she does !!! 😭😭😭
No she didn't , righteous brothers killed it, never has anyone hit it like they did
LeAnn has a voice that can only be challenged by a few singers. To all the thumbs down people, Please post your video of YOU singing this song and let us here YOU!!! Let me know when you post your video.
T Kopp...💥💥🤘🤘💥💥
Ahahaha well said
Let’s be honest here, Leanne could be singing the phone book and she would make it sound beautiful. Such a perfect voice the girls an angel
,🤘🤣🤣
I love her cry-breaks. What a range !
This woman is absolutely gifted and so, so talented. She reminds me in her talent of Tanya Tucker. Also started at a very young age.
She's been amazing from her earliest days on stage.
I remember when she first came out with Blue. I was blown away
That is a real country music tune that Leann sings so lovely with a steel guitar that real country requires in my opinion. God Bless!
So beautiful and effortless! She's not even wearing ear buds - I don't see how she can hear herself for those perfect high notes.
Never has anyone ever sang a better song. Ever.
Every time she hits those hi notes it gives me chills. Shes incredible !
Please Nashville bring LeAnn Rimes back! What an amazing voice!
She's got so much profound feeling and an amazing voice..
She is a fantastic singer. Her personal life is her business, not ours. Love her.
One of the great voices--- and ranges--- of all time.
Best female country vocalist of all time in my opinion! Only 14 years old here and still awesome today! Jamie Peters, Brandon, MS
I remember the first time I heard her sing. I was eleven at the time and couldn't believe that a voice like that was coming out of someone who was only three years older than I 'am.
Chad Delk very similar for me, played Blue on the undercover kitchen CD player, and wld just be in awe of her talent.
She's such a prodigy! I love her so much!
This is amazing for a 14 year old singer! She is truly gifted. That high note at 3.30 is off the hook!
This is the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Still listening in 2019 November 06....
Cant even tell its live her voice is so flawless
Such is the nature of unbelievable talent.........
+Vanessa Rodriguez ABSOLUTE PERFECTION
I'm a metal dude fan.
but Leann Rimes is the reason why I like country music 🎶 after a good old rock & roll , 80s music and Metal
This was one of my grandma's favorite songs. It's almost been a year since she passed and I still tear up whenever I hear any artist sing this song. Leann has definitely gifted us with her voice covering this song.
I am Kentucky girl, have followed her from the start. Yes she is amazing love her
I find myself coming back to watch this over and over since the first time I seen it. There's so much to be interpreted here that goes beyond her ridiculously talented vocals. At 14 years old LeAnne was already a star. She has been in and out of studios her entire childhood and pretty much doubled as a working adult when she wasn't just trying to be a kid. That's when the significance of it being at Disney World hits me because if u think about it she's there performing this "gig" as an adult and you can tell by the way she sings this she has had experience with the yearning for love even at this incredibly young age.

@@rski1036 "Wokers" lmao 😅
@@rski1036 Agreed. Funny thing is the people who have hijacked that word and call themselves "woke" are the least informed people on the planet.
I remember pulling my car to the side of the road, it was in the late 80s--I was so mesmerized by this song when I first heard it. Such a rare voice. Thank you, Leann.
She is 100% perfect. Saw her in concert and one of,best times. Her voice is God given.
Some people just Have a Special Talent to Sing, This Woman has that Talent...Period.....
I love this song ...she makes me tear up when she hits that high note...sends a chill down my spine
Nobody can hit those high notes like she can. She belts them out easier than mere speaking. Fantabulous!!!!
Yea, totally agree, I tear up too.😢
You tube roger federer
Yeah I know I was thinking that same thing too as well, the first time I'd heard her sing, I knew she would be so successful in her career as a great artist in singing, not bad as an actor either!
When you hear her studio version of this song and realize it was recorded when she was 13, appreciation for the depth of her talent is profound.
The most beautiful romantic song of all time
What?? 14 years old?? Stunning voice , love her
I just saw here sing this here in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.. Hhs was here on vacation.. Did a short free performance.. We love u LeAnn... WOW
Wow so amazing how she hits those notes
Wow! I never realized LeAnn Rimes was blessed with a voice from heaven!
Beautiful just beautiful!!!!!
Diane Birky，
Ok. I’ve just checked out about 10 covers of this song. And Leann is the best! Beautiful cover. Her voice is fabulous.
The two greatest voices of the last 60 years. Leann Rimes and Janice Joplin. Both from Texas, must be something in the water. Love them both so much.
O but Whitney Houston was from NJ and she was more popular and sold more albums/cd's then any female artist to date.
There's something special about Texas.
Add to that Norah Jones and Beyonce 🙂
Leann singing Janice Joplin is pretty sweet.
When I heard from her the first time, I'd knew she was a sure winner in becoming a great artist in singing, her whole family is great artists as well, she also acts & she is great @ that too!
So many years later, this brought me to really cry for the beauty of it.
She nailed it. Best cover out there.
A Beautiful Flawless rendition of a classic song. Dammit Ms. Rimes you brought me to tears😭
Sends shivers down my spine every time she hits those high notes!
She really is a flawless singer not a bad note I heard from her ever like the legends I often listen to. I think she delivered 3:15- 3:30 with a single breath.
Crosstongue the
i can do it too lel :3
Crosstongue et je
Rad well we are watin!
will Smith
she sings unchained melody the very best I ever heard
a righteous bros fan for many years. LeAnn Rimes takes this song to a whole new level. thank you for the pleasure.
I was fortunate enough to see her at the county fair when she was 14, and her "blue" recording. She's amazing.
Carol Florek - "Blue" is probably her best song. It really showcases her voice.
She sings this song beautifully!
such a beauty with the voice of an angel - she may have gotten better as she got older, but this is how I remember her best.
Poetry in motion. Stunning! Got to be one of the best renditions ever. Leann is still one of the best female country singers today.
She was 14 years olds, the range of her voice, truly amazing.
American talent at its finest. LeAnn is now ready to receive the baton from Patsy . Yes sir and a beautiful American women, from the south. Again truly amazing.
I heard this song for the 1st time in 1995/96 I fell n love with it I listened to it 50 times a day . very beautiful

Such a beautiful version of this song LeAnn can sing anything and make it sound great I miss you performing LeAnn love you
After all these years it still gets me.
What a beautiful performance. So gracefully she walked in and her act just great. Super backing too. Loved it
been listening to this song since I've seen this on facebook. 💛
Her voice takes me in to the whole different world !
Technically perfect -- but the true magic of this performance is that she so clearly enjoyed what she was doing and in putting her whole heart and soul into singing -- while still smiling at and 'flirting' with the little kids in the audience. Great backup musicians as well.
Whoa. She CRUSHES this - beautiful!
The last two notes were so beautiful!

Tears. Just angelic.

Get back out there Le Ann, you are “LOVED ❤️”
She sang this song at the Grammys one year, wore a red gown and absolutely blew everyone away.
It was 1997 The American Music Awards. And yes her performance was awesome!! I have it on VHS.
##Saw it.Was totally awesome##

Great song by a fabulous singer who started so young , awe great 👍

incredible maturity from one so young with a song like this.
Unbelievable- Fantastic voice,emotions There is by far- nobody near to match her
QUALITY!
stellar vocal chops
I didn't think anyone could sing unchained melody but the rightious brs....but LeAnn Times...omg she gave me goose bumps....I loved it...
+Teresa Walker I did had the same thoughts until I heard Sir Elton John and Bruno Mars Duet of unchained melody....I know how difficult it is to sing this song specially to make your audience feel the emotion of every single word of the song....They performed it with a orchestra using the same arrangement as the Righteous Brothers....Honestly I couldn't breath................
+Teresa Walker I DON'T THINK ANYONE CAN TOP THAT ONE ' WHAT SINGER HAS A BETTER RESONANCE ' OR RANGE' MY GOD THAT HIGH NOTE ON THE END IS INSANE.
I also really liked Elvis singing it
Mate Elvis was singing wrong notes and watchin him love singing it made me sick because he so unwell and trying to sing this emotional song is just too much. Yea he did ok but he wasnt well when he sung it and For that I cant watch it like.
Go watch Elvis from 1977 rendition at piano with a Charlie Hodge holding Mic..
I never, ever liked this song until she did it. out of the park
It's the most beautiful song I have ever heard. Good job and thank you Ms. Rimes.
This gave me goose bumps.
When I first heard this song on the radio, I had no idea who she was, but managed to catch her name. I immediately stopped at a mall to buy her album and was shocked to learn she was only fourteen. She was not just extremely good for fourteen, she was (and is) extremely good for any age.
Heard this song on the radio 8/11/17 and went immediately to you tube and found her. Best female rendition I've heard so far.....such a beautiful voice.
Agreed🙌🙌
i have ALWAYS LOVED Bobby Hatfield's version (saw he and Bill live in the 60's) but this is fabulous!!!!
She has such a beautiful. She looks to do it effortless !!
I COULD LISTEN TO THIS FOREVER!!!!! EXCELLENT VOICE!!!!!!!!
