She was only 13yrs old when she released this song, her voice is stunning

I remember clearly when this came out. Her voice is like an angel. At the time they where saying she was like patsy cline. Great reaction guys.

They call that "yodel" the "High Lonesome" and it is a respected ability in Country Music. Not many people can make that sound, and LeAnn is a natural at it...

That baby girl had a voice on her!!! She was only 13 or 14 when she first cut an album, but man could that kid sing!! She is around 40 now, and she still can sing better than most artists. Thanks!

I would've loved it if patsy would've lived to sing a duet with her...terrific

When this was released 27 years ago, it was an earthquake in the music industry. Everyone who heard it for the first time on the radio pulled their cars to the side of the road…mothers yelled to their kids to shut up… And everyone’s jaw dropped to the floor.

Unbelievable that she was only thirteen years old when she sang this song. Some adults can't even sound this good, grown up

This song was originally written for Patsy Cline. It has been held since Patsy passed away, for someone to come along worthy of this song. Then along came LeAnn Rimes at 13 yrs old!!! It was meant to be for her!!! ❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙

I could be wrong but, from my understanding, LeAnn Rimes was age 11 when she first sang this song, and age 13 when she recorded and released it, and age 14 when she did the video.

She was like 13 when she recorded this. And it was such a massive country hit, it crossed over to the pop charts

13 yrs. old when she released this song. She has an amazing voice.

A baby guys, 13y old when recorded...BABY!! 😳 Her voice is exactly as Mel describes...pure honey. 🍯 Beautiful, love her, thanks for this!! 👍🏽❤

That voice at 13 years old! When this dropped it was..😯🤯❤️

Leanne was only 13 years old when this released amazing that this voice came out of someone so so young! People in country music said she was trying to sound like Patsy Cline and though she did later in her amazing career she got her own sound and is just an icon in country music!!

Perfect pitch in her voice. 13 years old when this was recorded! Beautiful!

I remember when she broke into country music... I think this song was written for Patsy cline but she died before it was released, so they waited for the perfect singer and the definitely found the right person to sing this song!!

Guys… she won The Masked Singer last year… do a reaction to all her performances!!!

She really has amazing voice I remember when the song came out incredible. She was only 13 it's like 27 years ago

13 years old when this was recorded!! Absolutely astonishing!! Her voice is beautiful. Her version of “How Do I live Without You” is lovely. 🌺✌️

LeAnn Rimes has got a voice that is out of this world! Amazing Grace by LeAnne is AMAZING!!

This song was written for Patsy Cline, but she died in a plane crash & she never recorded this wonderful song the composer put it away thinking that there would never be another singer like Patsy! Then he heard LeAnn Rimes sing at a singing contest (13 years old) & the song was brought out of the vault, and the rest is history 😊. I am sure that Patsy is smiling down on MS. Rimes every time she sings 💎💜🎁 ** watch LeeAnn sing a Patsy Cline Tribute at an award performance in Las Vegas , 😇💖

When you said, "She added a third one in there!", I busted out laughing.

I will never forget how blown away I was when this first came out! It's still hard to believe a 13 year old could sing like that.

Leann was only 13 years old when she recorded this song and 14 when this music video was recorded. This song was written by a man named Bill Mack in 1958 and thanks to Leann Rimes he won a Grammy Award for it in 1996 which was 38 years after he wrote it. Some people think that he wrote this song for the legendary country artist Pasty Cline but he has said many times that he did not write this song for Patsy and nobody was the inspiration for it, that was just a rumor that got started because Leann sounded so much like Patsy. It was a year or 2 after he wrote it that someone suggested he pitch it to Patsy Cline, but she was killed in a horrible plane crash before he ever got the chance to.

The first time I heard Leann sing this, I thought it was Patsy Cline. I nearly fell over when they said it was sung by 13 year old Leann. She is incredible.

At her first CMA's Vince Gill asked her if it was past her bedtime after winning her first award.

Bill Mac wrote that song for Patsy Cline, but she passed away before recording it. He waited many years to find another singer to record it. It is timeless and LeAnn is amazing. Yes, she was 13 when she originally recorded it.

For those interested in the history on the song BLUE. It was written by a DJ named Bill Mack for Patsy Cline and she was not able to record it before her death. Bill held the song for Years and years until he heard Leann sing the national anthem at a ball game. Bill sent a demo to her father to see if Leann would be interested in the song. She fell in love with it and recorded it twice actually over a two-year period. Once at 11years and again at 13years old. The first recording which is the one you're listening to hear was recorded when she was 11years old. After she recorded It they shelfed it for two years while negotiating with two different record labels. One wanted to shelf it and the company Curb wanted to release it, so Leann went with Curb records and recorded the song again at 13 years old just before the official release. Funny thing is the one released was the original recording at 11yrs old. Leann explained the mix up was a mistake and the recording at 13yrs should have been the one released. There was one word that was incorrect on the 11yr recording that was corrected on the later recording. The word was " weak " as in the line "week words you whisper". The correct word as written was "Sweet" which was updated in the later recording. Bottom line is Leann won a Grammy at 14 for the hit song she recorded at age 11. She is a massive powerful pitch perfect voice. A real talent!

About give one cold chills when she hit those notes

I've always thought Lee Ann was overlooked a bit, I'd put her up there vocally with Whitney Houston and Celine Dion. Speaking of, you two should check out Celine Dion's I Surrender Live in Las Vegas.

She just won the masked singer... Watch all the diff genres she sings...an amazing singer

Looks and great singing talent!!! Damn why do some people have it all? Always loved this song!! Its obvious I have none!!!

I’m not much of a country music listener, but I heard this lady years ago and will listen to anything she does. What a voice

i can't believe this young beautiful young girl was only 13 years old at the time she sang and recorded this song! such a Beautiful Angelic Voice! loved her then and still today! 🥰

Always loved her doing this song! ❤😊👍

Jewell, get your yodel going...

I grew up listening to all genres of music. Very diverse in my family. Lee Ann is one I grew up on always admired her and looked to her as a inspiration growing up and still do until this day. Beautiful.

Just amazing!!! She was born for this.

She was my husband's first celebrity crush because of this video 😂

I just love Leanne and another person that you should look into is Martina McBride Martina McBride her songs are haven’t wait to hear her saying you’ll go crazy Liz the queen I haven’t been on social media lately I’ve been kind of under the weather I was in the hospital not for Covid or anything like that I have an operation butI’m glad to see you’re back and I’m glad to see that you’re bringing some country and do it you know how I love my Etta James and nobody probably will ever take her part in my heart but there’s many many country singers from the old school all timers in another one that cut your like that was Patsy Cline just so you know thank you and all my love Liz

Her vocals have improved over the years. She sings better now in fully mature voice than as a teenager. Listen to the remakes of her classic songs today. Daamn, still got it.

LeAnn’s voice is a phenomenon! Amazing!!!🥰🥰🥰

This is the true essence of country music right here. Livin', Lovin' and Leavin' songs.....!

She recorded when 12 and released at age 13, crazy! God Bless!

Good song good reaction

Mel, where is your album?? You have an amazing voice and vibrato yourself! Love your reactions to LeAnn, though, she's stunning. You should react to some of her covers of Patsy Cline's songs. It's so good!

I was at an Aerosmith concert in 1997 (or 98) and every year after that for 7 yrs. and after 6 opening nonstop songs, here comes Steven Tyler's daughter 'Liv' Tyler' walking up to the stage with her good friend Leann Rimes the crowd goes nuts and 'Liv' places a ten gallon hat on her father's head and Leann places a long pink sash that strippers use, around Steven's neck she looks at the audience, then at Steven...and she say's "sing 'Pink' for me" and she brought the house down with her sultry- ness...

I just found you guys. You are so much fun to watch. And that you are so sweet to your wife. ❤️

11:35 pm Shawn and Mel you react and know good music when you hear it and Mel you have a beautiful smile .😊

LeAnn was born in Jackson, Mississippi. And, she was very young here. This song was actually written for PATSY CLINE! When PATSY was killed, the writer of the song held onto it and thought no one would ever be capable of singing it, until he heard LeAnn singing the STAR SPANGLED BANNER. He, after 30 years of waiting, had found what he had been waiting for. SHE WAS 13!!!

OmG Yes funny. Funnn" and Leanne such a large voice !!

Leann rhymes "probably wouldn't be this way" is so beautiful and sad, please react

Good example of how traditional country music is a kissing cousin with the blues.

Blue by LeAnn Rimes love this song and when she's Yodeling on the 🎵 song/music video and Btw she was 13 years old when she did this song

On a cold, dark and dreary day...you guy's reaction brought a lil sunshine to my heart. Maybe you could react to Lyle Lovett one day. In my best Biden voice..."Come on man"! lol

13 years old...amazing🤠 hello from Cody Wyoming

The author of this song wrote it for Patsy Kline about 1950. She was an amazing singer,killed in a plane crash. He held that song for about 40 years until He found another singer worthy of His beautiful song ...

actually she was 14. and that was one of the biggest chart toppers of that year and really of all time

She also covered Blue Moon of Kentucky - a old country song where she actually yodeled

Angelic voice!!!

I just love you guys ❤

This song was originally wrote for Patsy Cline but she died before recording it and when the writer heard Leann sing at 12 he gave it to her and it became her first hit at 13 years old

STILL the youngest Grammy winner. Her voice is a heaven-sent gift.

She's just a baby here the best child voice iv ever heard

Y’all need to check out her singing Amazing Grace acapella

Perfection with no effort. Shawn and Mel are still my favorites!!!

this song was originally written for Patsy Kline but never recorded by her because she traically died in a plane crash in the 1960's and forgotten about until Leann rimes sang and recorded this song beautifully on her debut album when she was just 13 years old but her amazing voice sounded so very mature as you can tell by how she sings it.

LeAnn Rimes is the youngest solo artist to win a Grammy, at 14 years old. But, She was just 13 years old when she recorded, blue.!

Omg. Beautiful

This song was originally written for Patsy Cline her music ran along this theme of either heartbreak being done wrong or longing for Love but tragically Patsy Cline passed away in a plane crash before she could record the song years and years later the songwriter heard or seen a video of LeAnn Rimes singing the national anthem and he just felt like LeAnn Rimes was the person he wanted to sing song thought it would be something special..

That girl is 13 14 when this song was done !!!! Can u believe that !!!!!!???

Lee Ann as I recall was discovered when she went to the Opery Land park and got the chance to put her voice on a recording just for fun

I love this song ❤️

This song was written by a Dallas songwriter, he wrote it with Patsy Cline in mind to do it however Patsy died before but Patsy died before he could get it to her. The guy held onto the song for decades until he heard Leann sing somewhere and he thought that she was perfect for the song.

This is still on my playlist from years ago

This song was written by a Nashville DJ named Phil Mack and he wrote the piece many years ago for Patsy Cline, but she was killed in a plane crash before she could record it. Thirty years later Mack heard a tape of LeAnn Rimes and sent her the song which she recorded at age 13. This song was her first number one hit. If you listen to LeAnn singing some of Patsy Cline’s hits you’ll see the similarities that Phil Mack saw back then.

she won so many awards had so many hits she retired around 28

She's a great singer and smokin hot.

She was 13 years when she broke onto the country music scene singing this song it's a cover of Patsy Cline's song she was so amazing people were overwhelmed if she could reach where patchy reached at

What a set of pipes.

Yep you're right a teenager !! Youngest Grammy winner ever at 14 years old.....

Hey guy's she has a great voice with a wide range she can hit, this is a great song and she did a beautiful job on it, hey guy's I would like to request a song by Tracy BYRD called" LOVE LESSONS" ANOTHER REALLY GOOD COUNTRY SONG THANKS

She won masked singer and she was 14 when she did this song.

People should check out the Patsy Cline songs that LeAnn Rimes covered, particularly "Crazy" and "Leavin' on Your Mind" to really experience the power and range of her voice.

A cover of a classic that became a classic

This song was written by Bill Mack, the same guy that wrote “Drinking Champagne “ for Patsy Cline. He wrote this song for Patsy then she died and he sat on it all those years until 13 yr old LeAnn came along with the voice for it.

This song was written for Patsy Cline, however she passed and they kept it on the back burner and Lee Ann Rimes sang it!!

This song was written for the late great Patsy Cline but she passed away before she could recon it so the guy held on to it until he heard Leann sing and gave it to her ago sing .

...Blue was originally wrote for the Queen of Yodeling... Ms Patsy Cline... Leann Rimes sounds almost exactly as her....hell she even paid tribute at an award show to Patsy

Nice

Love Shawn's reactions.

You asked "Where did she come from?". I was there when this song dropped. Where she came from was "Out of thin air". Lol This was her 1st song. Everybody who discovered her heard the 1st few lines of this song as their introduction to her. She and this song absolutely exploded. As you can tell this sing is a bit more "blues" then country but she is at her heart a country singer so this song dropped on the country world and she instantly became a fav female artist at like 15yrs old. Her name was quickly getting mentioned along with some of the biggest female artists if all time.

Leann is a pretty good yodeller. If you really like yodeling I highly recommend Oesch’s die Dritten. It’s an Austrian family who does traditional Austrian/Bavarian folk music. The lead singer, Melanie, is an unbelievable yodeller. Here’s one that shows her talents: Jodel Medley kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ra2Vq8p_sLbQYJ8.html. (It’s in German, but the words don’t really matter)

For some reason it took me a long time to fully appreciate this song, but now that I am older, I am like, DAMN! 🤯

Mel you look great with the blonde hair keep it going onnn

Youngest solo Grammy winner ever with this song

From this old white boy I was swooning along with both of y'all!!!

13 (or 14) yr old Grammy winner.... amazing

Pure talent 13 yrs old here.and looks her age. Not made up

Wonderful reaction
