I worked in this production, Mandy was almost more "Patsy" than Patsy Cline. She's a rare and incredible talent, and a very sweet person

Magnificently gifted and charismatic Mandy Barnett. One of Nashville's FINEST Talents indeed.

[@iVenge]

She is only person who actually nails Patsy Cline’s voice.

[@louisemusiclover]

Such a beautiful artist, she performed the great Patsy Cline's music with so much feeling and emotion, as i'm a huge Patsy Cline fan i believe Mandy Barnett did a fantastic job in playing Patsy Cline !
God Bless

[@jrlomy2k]

Always, Patsy Cline is still one of my favorite recordings

[@Alan-yn9fk]

I met Patsy in late '60 or early '61. What a gal. I've seen the show Always Patsy Cline by another performer that just left you non-pluss

[@MrGm9018]

I was there 3 times--wonderful

[@sammylee316]

Mandy Barnett is beautiful. We can all understand the temptation to do this. It doesn't honor her like a Beatles tribute band does for THEM. It puts incredible pressure on Mandy to FIT. (who CAN?). Patsy was herself only once. The answer to this is Ken Burns' documentary. Patsy would have liked all of this, i think.

On your birthday it opened that year Bee!

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

Even looks like her

[@bthvnyt]

Close enough. Maybe even do new songs so that Patsy stays with us. It is noble for a great talent to copy a superstar of yesteryear.

I sound just like Patsy. Way better than Mandy. I sound just like her. Tennessee says so.
