What an absolute sweetheart! I hope she goes far in her own shoes.

What a sweet girl. Famous Grandma or no famous Grandma, the song she wrote was beautiful and I hope she has huge times ahead of her.

@music-ru6bk Ай бұрын

this is what a modest person with no ego looks like. she doesnt brag about her famous grandmother. even when she mentioned her grandma she just said she was a country singer and not a “famous” country singer. she wasnt even going to say her grandma’s name until they asked ❤

@@ryanhall2795 This is all staged af. I bet she's not that shy, when there are videos of her singing on KZfaq to a bigger crowd. Just search for "Emmy Russell & Lukas Nelson Sing "Lay Me Down" | A Celebration of the Life and Music of Loretta Lynn" uploaded ~a year ago. There are more videos. She stood on stage when she was 11 and 16 (that's what you can easily find on KZfaq). But yeah. That's always for entertainment purposes, but also always feels like being "lied" to.

And there are of course a lot more such examples on those casting shows. Edit: But she has a beautiful voice though.

Agree and disagree. Don't forget that she has to do all this on her own, without her great grandmother. Emmy was certainly born with something. In any case, I'm already a bit of a fan of this little girl from Nashville Tennessee.

@vaseline69 Ай бұрын

@@btsr2553 I think you misunderstood my comment, it was it about Emmy, it was that calling Loretta Lynne "a country singer" is an understatement, she's one of the queens of country. it would be like saying "oh my mums an actress" if you were Liza Minnelli, Blake Shelton is a country singer, Loretta Lynne is a Legend

@btsr2553 Ай бұрын

@@vaseline69 Thank you for the clarification. I think I really misunderstood, please excuse me. I understand the understatement now. I grew up here in Bavaria side by side with the GIs formerly stationed here. AFN was my gate as a young blonde boy to the world. My mother would have loved listening to country music all day if AFN had that on their program. I also know Loretta. I can see my mother humming along to Loretta's and all the other artists' songs while she did the housework. There must still be a compact cassette somewhere ...

@anyabar1987 Ай бұрын

My Dad was overseas in the service my grandfather was sick. My dad didn't have the ability to call home. Loretta Lynn came to the base on tour. My dad was able to talk to her and said his dad wasn't doing well and wished he could get a message through to him. Loretta Lynn told him not to worry. My dad shrugged it off believing it to be a pr thing. Nope Loretta Lynn personally called my grandfather and wished him well told him that my dad was well and worried about him.

Gotta admit, I teared up when she started crying. I was mesmerized by how beautiful Katy Perry is. If she doesn't have the most beautiful eyes in the world, she's in the top 2. Suddenly Emmy cries and I lose it. Dang, I'm getting soft in my old age. Good luck, Emmy.

@williamstreet4304 2 ай бұрын

OMG. It must be so hard to see Grandma's path and wonder if you are good enough. My youngest daughter struggled in the shadow of her sister. I told her not to worry about meeting the goals. I worried about her sister burning out before she was 21. The younger daughter has found her way and is successful. Her sister is 42, president and CEO of a company, received the highest lifetime award from her graduate school. And perches precariously on the brink of a breakdown. It's hard to sit in the shadow of greatness. But greatness can take a tremendous toll. Be who you really are. That from a dad and grandpa who cares so much for my daughters and grandchildren. Find your own way.

Beautiful and talented, humble and kind. She has a bright future. Thankfully her family is very humble and down-to-earth, hopefully, future fame and doesn't ruin her like other young celebrity women. Both her parents, aunts and uncles are very talented as well. Her mom, Patsy Lynn Russell and Patsy's twin sister Peggy are the youngest daughters of Loretta Lynn. Patsy Lynn is named after Loretta's friend, the famous country singer, Patsy Cline. Patsy and her twin sister Peggy formed a country duo called "The Lynns." They recorded one album for Reprise Records, which charted two singles on Hot Country Songs Chart. The Lynns received CMA Award nominations for Vocal Duo of the Year in 1998 and 1999. They received an ACM Award nomination for Top New Vocal Group or Duo.
