I have always loved Wy and Naomi. God bless Wy for taking her healing on the road and honoring the legacy of her dear mother.
She likely needs the money. Sing for your supper, woman.
I love Wynonna's personality, singing voice and she says the coolest things lol. ❤🎉
Omnivert, what a great name for us Introverts who force ourselves to be social when needed. I love Wynona more for opening herself up for us to see how much we love her and how much she's like us. Sending love to the Judd family.
Wynonna's voice is fire, it's everything! It reaches right down to your heart and surrounds it with so much hope and love.
I pray that she's able to absorb the love of everyone who sends it to her, known or not. You are surrounded, Wynonna, with love, light and angels.
I saw her on a Burt Bacharach special years ago. She sang “Anyone Who Had a Heart” brought tears to my eyes.
Its like a hugest warmest hug.
“Love, light and angels”? How about God/Jesus?
I saw her sing in either CT or RI 30 years ago. She was standing singing on a stage that slowly went in circles. I could not believe the strength and power of her voice and how well she controlled it! She was just magic. Love her
Rhode Island!
@@ellent2246 YES!! That’s rite!! Yep, did u go?!!
Warwick Musical Theatre. What a gem of a venue that was!
Wynonna is someone I'd love to have for a friend. Down to earth. Cracks me up. Keeps it real.
Same
She does have a sense of humor that's for sure! Love her!❤️
Wy you and Ashley are of kindred spirits. You're MOM would be so very proud of the two of you...that is what family is all about
Same here! Although, she’d probably drop me like a bad habit because I’d keep bugging her to sing something! 🤣🤣
@@lori5374 oh my goodness, no that would never because you are hilarious! Hugs and kisses from the internet and beyond 😘
Years ago I attended a concert in LA. Wynonna sang a love ballad (can't remember the song), she cocked her head to one side and you could literally hear the men swoon in the audience. I will never forget the intensity of the performance and her affect on the audience. Wonderful.
Try to remember the song, please 🙏🏻
As the years go by, I love her more. She is a fragile soul and I hope she has a kind, loving husband supporting her. She deserves to be loved.
I lost my dad when I was 31, mom when I was 36. I'm now 64. I have an older estranged brother so I know the whole" orphan" thing. Fortunately, I married a man with a huge family so I feel very blessed to not feel alone. It's nice that celebrities are people, too, and Wynonna is the best!! I can't imagine how it would feel to lose her mom as she did!!! May God continue to bless her and Ashley both, as they heal.
So Sorry for your loss Sue. If you can find forgiveness reach out to your brother. Just like the song says “Love can build a bridge…don’t you think it’s time”. Good luck
I love Wynonna! I remember singing her songs in the back of my cousins truck as a child. My brother committed suicide, so I understand a level of Wy’s grief/pain/joy “all of the above”. My heart goes out to you Wynonna! You are in my prayers!
I know and understand too lost my Momma same way when I was 14 it's been 25 years still so fresh
@@carmelasanchez698 I’m so sorry to you as well that really stinks terribly!! 🙏🫶
Wynonna Judd you are my favorite cowgirl adopted niece that I ever have💖💖💖💖
"When I became an orphan." I too lost my Mother as an adult with a child. I also felt like an orphan. I know exactly what she means. 🖤
Yes, my sisters and I felt exactly that. When you've had parents up into adulthood and they leave this world without you, you are alone for awhile.💔
Hugs and blessings to you…
I felt the same even tho I have a sister and my dad was here.
@@pillsie Understood. One's mom is like no other in life. 💔
@@moseymay1772 Very true.
I think someone needs to organize a “country flashback” tour, celebrating country music from the 80s - early 2000s. It could be cross country with a rotating list of artists singing songs from those two decades. Newer artists could be included but they’d have to do covers of 80s and 90s country.
Sounds good to me🤗
Wynonna is a beautiful kind person and can be funny too ♥️ Love ya Wy!
This is an awesome idea
O M Gosh! What a brilliant idea! I'd effin luv it and be there in the front effin row!! Sorry about the "curse words" but I can't contain myself. lol If only this could happen. Man the list of artists that I could write down that I would love to see would take all freakin day and loads of paper. lol Really, really great idea! Have a wonderful day.✌
Yassss. This new country sucks. It's just pop music with a country accent
I know some people that met Wynonna Judd in New Orleans a few months ago. She was absolutely lovely. Down to earth. Friendly. A good person.
I would love to meet her
I'm from a dysfunctional family too - it's just not easy - I've given up on mine. Hope she and Ashley keep their bond. It was a tough road for the three of them.
Understood. 🫂🤍
I'm with ya!
Yes and sometimes you can be an orphan when you have parents…
Wynonna has been an idol of mine since I was a kid singing along to The Judd's with my mama .
Her voice is so iconic, so distinguisable, and so beautiful.
I'm 39 now, and I still feel as giddy as a child when I hear her sing.
Have had the good fortune to see her (and The Judds) live several times. Such an experience.
Wynonna has been my favorite since I was a little girl!! I will never forget when my dad (who is now on hospice) took me to see the Judds and I was and still am fixated on Wynonna. I can relate to her so much!
Sending an endless amount of prayers your way. WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Anen
Hugs for you in such a tough time.
Exactly my sentiment.
When I think of my mom, it sometimes takes my breath away…❤
Me too... miss her every day 🩵✝️🙏
I am not a country music fan per say but I love Wynonna. Her voice is just something else. I am so sorry for your loss. My the memory of your mother be a blessing. Sending prayers your way to you and your sister.
"I'm an orphan" for Wynonna who's a grown woman to say that after the shocking tragic loss of her mom shows that in spite of whatever was going on between them personally, she loved her Momma.
Seemed like a rather strange comment, I've never heard an adult say they're an orphan.
@@jazziez6467I have, many times.
Very strange comment. Sounds like they had an unhealthy relationship
I get it. I’m about to lose my mom, and looking down the track… orphan is about right
It’s really self pitying.
I’ve been an orphan for 7 years and my “ dad” made sure he tore our family apart before he died. It has yet to be repaired. Sad but I’m not gonna worry about anymore.
Forgiveness is key. You dont know his mind and the things he was dealing with. Im sure he loved you all but couldn't show it the way he wanted.
I will be praying for you and your family
I know what she means by when she said once realizing that she's now an orphan is such a deep wound 💔 I remember the moment I experienced the same after my mom passed...losing both Parents is truly heartbreaking 💔
I lost my husband, by suicide and I found him, then my mom the same year. They're going to be in shock, just trying to survive for a long time. Sending them strength.
Huh?
She's so well spoken...I always loved the Judds 🥰🤩
You are a beautiful soul! Thank you for being so unapologetically transparent. It's very refreshing to witness your truth. I really admire your strength. Rena
Such a beautiful, genuine and down to earth country soul🥰🥰....Love that about her...and boy can you really see her mom in her...I've noticed that before but it's really a lot more now...God bless her with continued comfort, peace and strength.🙏🙏
I’ve always known how amazing Wynonna is, and I’m so excited that others are starting to realize it too! Love you, Wy! (Come back to Hawaii! 😉)
Having a sister is the best - thank you god for the gift of a sister - I’m tell you right now I don’t know what I would do without my little sis !
Wynonna you are an amazing woman. I just !ove you!♥️
When you wake up to the realization that your mama is gone😢. You definitely feel like a orphan 😢. For 56 years I had my Mama then she was gone. No more phone calls no more visits😢. Just memories. My Mama lived life without me but I had never lived without my Mama. Until.....😢
One of the BEST singers in the WORLD
She's Magic!! Always has been..always will be!! You can tell she's done "the work" and continues to emotionally or she wouldn't be in this beautiful state of mind...and the gift of her music is how she gives back!!! xo
This woman is so talented. I love her.
Gotta LOVE Wynonna!!!! She is such a POWERFUL, LOVING WOMAN!!!! You go Wynonna!!!! STAY STRONG FOR YOURSELF AND FAMILY!!!!
I truly felt (and still feels) the exact same way Wyonna felt when her mom passed. My dear sweet loving mana passed on my birthday in 2021, my dear sweet loving hard working daddy passed in 2011. After returning from my mama's burial service, the first thing I thought to myself was "I'm an orphan now", the thought actually teared me up a bit because me and my six siblings were truly blessed to be borne to the best most loving God fearing supporting parents God ever created. I miss them everyday! ❤.
Really glad to have caught this. I'm worried about her and it's a relief tho see her handling AND surviving. Love you Winona! 💞
Often times it’s joy and sorrow at the same time❤
I LOVE WYNONNA!!!! bring back those 80s and 90s IN SOO READY
I love Wynonna ! What a beautiful, talented, and honest woman.
You and your sister will always have each other sweetie. Never let go. 💕
I love y'all Wynonna and Ashley Judd's always and forever more. I am praying that god will keep blessing y'all with strong strength and comfort Hallelujah Hallelujah Amen !!
It really hits you between the eyes when your told your for the first time your now an orphan… Been there down that but I was 16… Love ya Wy 🤟🏻✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
13 my dad passed
24 mom ❤ I'm 59 and I've lived longer without them than with them.
@@kathyrabon8672 so sorry Kathy. I like to think that by you living, they are too, through you. They created you.
Wynona's wonderful and her hair looks beautiful and Ashley isn't a whole person. Enough said. God bless The Judds.
Sending the best vibes for Wy. We love you ♥️
Her hair is EVERYTHING!!❤
She might be introverted but I would have never guessed it the one time in my life I happened to be at the same place she was. We were outside a restaurant called J. Alexander’s in Franklin TN. Sweet wonderful lady (Wynona) went right up to my small 4’10” mother who spoke with a pretty heavy accent and told her how cute she was. She was talking to my mom for about ten minutes. My mom had no idea who she was but the rest of could not believe what we were seeing, we were a few feet away with our jaw’s wide open. Honestly we were mesmerized by her kindness!
Wynonna,is a rock. God 🙏 bless you always.
Wynonna is the very best on many levels....daughter sister Mom wife and her voice is the best female singer ever! ❤🤗
Reminds me of my childhood. I've always loved wynona. She's still so beautiful❤️
So hard to lose both parents as I know.
NO WE CELEABRATE YOU WYNONNA. 👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️🙏🙏YOUR VOICE IS SUCH A GIFT. ALWAYS SO LOVE YOUR CHRISTMAS MUSIC TOO. MY MOM WAS BIPOLAR, BUT WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GIFT SHE WAS. NEVER WILL I REGRET A MOMENT OF WHO SHE WAS. SO GLAD YOUR MOM PUT YOU ON THAT STAGE.
We love you Wynonna! One of my favorite songs is a song she sang in the Touched by an Angel series.. (Testify To Love. ) Holy moley It's the most beautiful song ever And if I watch the video from touched by an angel... I cry hard every single time!!!! 💕
My dad’s been gone for 20yrs and my mom for 15.
I’m an orphan too.
My oldest daughter was 9mos old when my dad passed (he was very I’ll) and I was 4 mos pregnant with my 2nd daughter when my mom passed suddenly.
I’ve been so sick with Covid and would give anything to have my mom take care of me..
Of course she be in her 90’s but she’s forever young to me❤
I love Wynonna. Her music has gotten me through so much.
I love how down your earth this lady is, she was just dancing, enjoying herself in the intro.
My mom’s favorite lady ❤️ I know she’s looking down from heaven with a great big smile!!
Hahaha! Wynonna is very funny. I always loved it when she would give her one liners about Naomi. She is one talented lady. ❤️🇨🇦
Being an "adult orphan" is lonely even though you're not really alone. I became an "adult orphan" in 2013 after my Dad passed. Mom passed in 2000.
I love everything about Wynonna Judd 💕 I'm a huge fan. I wish I could meet Wynonna Judd. She is a very strong person. I love her, out of all the country women. Comedy covers pain. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😁😁😁😁💜
Is it just me or does she look A LOT like Debra Messing??
Bless her heart though, glad to hear she and her sister are there for one another. I hope my sister and I can get to a place like that one day. Great interview. :)
I can relate to Wynonna to an extent. My sister and I are orphans too. We lost our mother back in December. Our Poppa's been gone for 21 years. My sister and I weren't that close but when she got sick then losing her we're close now cause we're all we have. She has her husband, kids & grandkids but I don't so she's is all I have.
I can understand the introvert part as I'm extremely 100% introverted. Wynonna has to be both depending on whether she's performing, doing public appearances, talk shows etc.
I don't do any of that so I'd rather be at home, my safe place than go out.
When I do have to go out, I can feel my anxiety kicks in. I try to do everything I have to quickly before it gets the best of me then rush home so I can breathe and feel safe again.
I've been this way for a long time but ever since I lost my Mother, it's kicked into high gear!
I'm struggling pretty badly. My mother lived with me during her entire illness. I was pretty much her sole caregiver. My sister helped when she could, but the majority of her care fell on me. The hardest but most rewarding thing I've ever done in my life. Nothing will ever come close.
But now since she's been gone, I feel like I'm useless and I'm not worthy anymore.
I'm hoping to find work so it will keep my mind busy. That'll help. But I will always feel alone cause I no longer have my best friend. I miss my mother terribly and my life will never be the same!
Send big hugs from here (Japan)❤You are not alone. Find something that make your mind busy, you’ll find your new happiness along way. You have your sister and nieces/nephews too. I’m sure your mom wants you to be happy too❤
Sending hugs. You ARE worthy!
I lost my parents in 2007 and 2016, both to cancer, and I know how she feels. I recently lost my oldest of 4 sisters to cancer too. I was prepared for my parents because the had it for over 4 to 5 years, but my sister found out in December and was gone 2 months later. She didn't even look sick Showed no sign of illness at all.
I love Wynonna and always have. I buy her music as this woman can sing!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Our family is dysfunctional since my parents passed away. Its really tough being an orphan!😢
I wish the same happened when my dad died. I was abandoned by my one brother because I wasn't grieving the right way. We were also from the Ashland ky area
I understand. One sister of mine dumped me when we lost my mom . She tried to control us all . So painful
There is no right way to grieve…. You do it on your own terms.
@@melissah.robertson3865 thank u for ur kind words
Chances are he is in such grief too he just doesn’t know how to deal. Reach out to him….love is more powerful than pride. Forgiveness is mighty.
@@melvinsmiley5295 I tried to reached out and i will always be there if he needs me. I just feel abandoned in my grief. My brother is the only one I have that shares our childhood memories with. I call it The Good, The Bad and What we never told. Lol
What a genuine and lovely woman.
Damm good response Wynona. Stay strong and God Bless.
I binge all too a few years back. So real, honest and deep.
Thank you for saying yes.
Love the "Wy smile" 😊❤
BTW. Introverts are not lonely or shy. They just prefer to be alone more than be with a lot of people. I am one. They are usually the most fun when they are around others. But we love our space. 😊
The fans HAVE SPOKEN! ❤❤❤ you Wy!
What a beautiful smile, Wynonna.
Stunning, just stunning😊
We all need to absolutely, just love, this is it, just please love.💖💫💖
I love her so much! God bless you Wynonna ❤️❤️
All three of those ladies were always beautiful. It's refreshing to see these sweet sisters who have suffered such a great loss are still so beautiful inside and out.
God Bless Wynonnaa. 🙏Doing her personal growth journey. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hang in there. Please take care of yourself. Your fringe looks amazing. ❤
It's amazing how siblings will unite or completely cut each other off after the deaths of their parents. My remaining sister I was raised with & I got closer before her death. One of my best friend's children are irrevocably estranged now after her death. It really matters if you can forgive & forget the times you were unhappy. Wy has done that.
Im glad you and ashley are better!
Love you Wy!
Wow, what a beautiful eloquent heartfelt speaker. Both of these women have talent 👏 and such blessed to our eyes 👀 and 👂 ears...Congratulations.
I lost my mom and dad by the time I was 3 years old. Raised by my maternal side but I know what an orphan feels like. My beloved grandmother who raised me died in 2017. Love the Judd’s
I couldn't love anybody more than Wynonna Judd!! She is the best and I am so grateful to have seen her a few times in my life. It was a memorable life moment. Wy, you're the BEST! I looove your humor and we are sister introverts (can't believe what autocorrect had that changed to 😣)... I get it 100%! Lastly, your voice is as amazing as Elvis'.. you only sound like YOU. Much love to ya! ♥
I feel the same way. Lost my dad in May and my mom in June.
Hard to watch Wynonna without her beautiful mother beside her. It just isn’t the same. 😢Naomi was a stunning light and energy. Our hearts still ache over the loss of that angel Naomi. Ashley and Wynonna were so blessed to have her.
I love her, always have, since the very 1st time I heard her sing
wow a beautiful person and a beautiful singer
One of if not the best voice in Country Music
Wynonna is sooo beautiful!! Love her humor.
You don't lose the love when a love one passes. Their love never stopped and you will find your love grows especially every time you see them around and remember everything they did for you and blessing Good and bad they gave to you.
We love you Wynonna. We keep you in our Prayers always.
Hello how are you doing?
She’s always so serious. No softness, sweetness, or smiles.
You are an orphan to the world when your parents are gone......when they're gone they're gone,cherish every moment with them
Wy is an extroverted introvert. Me too. Love ❤ me some Wynnona Judd. Lucky concer goers. Rock the house girl.
I adore Wynona. God bless her and her family. ❤
I love Wynonna ❤️ blessings to her & family
Love this amazing singer💪🏻❤️
I have always loved the color of her hair. She’s gorgeous.
That’s nice. I’m glad some two people are making an effort to forgive and love each other.
I Just Love Wynonna, Her Voice, Her Love For Family No Matter What. I feel her pain because I too have went through changes and it does help you to relate to Everyday things that before you may not of understood but you do when these Heartaches occur. Praying For You Wynonna and Ashley to Have Peace And Love Always
