Loretta Lynne's Granddaughter Auditions for American Idol!

[@Someonecomegether]

“My grandmas a country singer” is the understatement of the century. God bless this young lady for being so humble and just letting her talent speak for itself.

[@RandellBowers]

Me: Ma’am, your grandmother isn’t a country singer. She’s THE country singer.

[@maydavalle]

♥️

[@JimmyJayJunior]

I cried when she cried. Shes so authentic. A true artist

[@Jade-ms2ys]

tears here too..

[@MaritaILamb]

Straight tears

[@MrDarkblader97]

She sounds like she's imitating Halsey, but sure authentic lol

[@cyberkiller83]

it was inevitable.

[@Chandelier222]

yep frfr me too

[@NunyaBizness2.0]

She goes there with a plain green sweatshirt and jeans. No flair, no flashy clothes… just a regular girl Super cute and humble

[@anthony5227]

I mean she wasn’t that great at all. So it doesn’t matter

[@MisturMonster]

WOW ITS LIKE SHES HUMAN

[@Blood_Red_2607]

​@MisturMonster do you realize how many kids and grandkids will scream to the heavens who their family members are? She was raised right to not use her grandma to get recognition unless she was asked, like she was here.

[@MisturMonster]

@@Blood_Red_2607 ok u think ure soo smart like how do u kno anything when u have a bunch of nobodies in ur bloodline!

[@nicoleryan3915]

and didn’t even bring it up first!

[@2cool4u61]

That girl was raised right👏 humble and full of love. She’s gonna go far in her life.

[@RobertoLazcano-y3n]

I hope so😊

[@AndrewGape-h6z]

anyone can be like this if you leave them alone and let them grow

[@boffyboydj]

Tom !!!

[@jamesamber6009]

That's Exactly how I feel. Agree!

[@MelissaThompson432]

She's way beyond Idol. Already. If I had never heard of Loretta Lynn, I would still want to follow Emmy Russell.

[@IAMBATMAN3]

She just casually say her grandma is Loretta Lynn 😂

[@sant748]

I am 59-year-old black man from L.A. who not only doesn't listen to country music and could not name you one of Loretta Lynn's songs, but I cried like a girly-man when she cried. Her performance was amazing and the aura that surrounds her soul is both amazing and beautiful.

[@robbrown4621]

Oh man. Her grandma was an icon and one great songwriter. She wrote about her culture and how the effect of that culture ran through all the veins and arteries of her life. Check out the song Coal Miner's Daughter here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGrIeaNtf6-ap5o

[@couch3urner428]

I fw you

[@xajiru]

I fw you

[@britc2792]

I’m right there with you 😂

[@davek2690]

Her performance was 4/10

[@cap10zomb]

She must have loved her grandma a lot. More than words can say.

[@MyBigAzzPimple]

She is a real person 🧍‍♀️ not flashy not a spoiled rich brat and took all the criticism.. She’s so humble! She have a regular green sweet shirt and blue jean!! Awesome!

[@baygoesmoo]

her mom looks EXACTLY like her mom also INCREDIBLE VOICE.

[@briangressett902]

I know right.

[@passengershamingparody]

100000%!

[@randomanton]

Meh 😕

[@sashatear8570]

So many powerful women. Loretta lynn, patsy cline, lorettas daughter patty and now granddaughter. Love is with every generation.

[@twinkie27271]

Patsy

[@Honoriajoy]

I’m sure you already know, but Her mother patsy was actually named after Patsy Cline. Patsy and Loretta were great friends and she died in a plane crash when Loretta’s twin girls were born.

[@sashatear8570]

@Honoriajoy I did know that but thank you for sharing! Also sorry about the typo for the second patsy.

[@Honoriajoy]

@@sashatear8570 I love them both. Wish I could’ve met them !!

[@Lowkey3d]

She could be a heeeeelll of an actress too she got that charisma in her, she is so likeable

[@TheBeggies95]

Thats exactly why she shouldn’t be an actress. Hollywood screw them

[@Lowkey3d]

@@TheBeggies95 yeah, makes sense too :/ its sad that the world behind the scenes is so screwed up

[@ohmyange6853]

This is such a beautiful song. Emmie did so well.

[@MarkEvanWhite]

I did not expect that!! I’m 60 year old musician. Tears start as soon as she finishes the first verse. From the heart music!

[@drawntowardmadness]

She really favors her grandma as well. That song was just beautifully and skillfully written.

[@kannascott8462]

I can’t wait to see this beautiful young woman coming into her own. I have watched Loretta Lynn all my life and my heart hurt when she left this world to go to her heavenly home.

[@TomZennybaby]

Who else is sobbing like a damn baby 😭 like girl that song was so beautiful!!! Amazing this whole audition gave me chills. Definitely can see a lot of myself in her. Love you Emmy ❤

[@michaelfarmer9472]

Loretta Lynn worked hard to be what she became. She worked hard right up til the night she died (in the middle of a 5 album deal) when she was 90 uears old. She instilled in her family yhe value of hard work and earning what you get. Emmy is doing her own work, forging her own path, in her own style.

[@thebeatlesloveisallyouneed]

Girl was beautiful and talented and her grandmother would be proud! Rest in peace Loretta!

[@daisydukes8252]

This brought me to tears, what a precious girl and a true talent.

[@JLYT2024]

So many connections and family money and not one person saw that this girl was an investment? Thats the real shame here

[@hansham480]

Totally agreed...

[@JLYT2024]

@hansham480 her song made me cry. Not only is she a great singer, she's a great writer too!

[@vic262]

Thank you

[@DneilB007]

Nah, she had to do it this way. Look how long it took Miley Cyrus to get away from her family legacy-and her dad was just a working songwriter with a couple of hits. Grandma was a legend!

[@lasharonwilliams9557]

No like I didn’t even know she came on here

[@Diptinbutta]

Her song made me cry. Shes something different but the exact difference we deserve❤️

[@casualuser2317]

She’s talented, no doubt but it’s her humbleness that made me fall for her All the best young lady

[@hansham480]

Brought tears to my eye.

[@apostolik1god]

This song brought me too tears. She is incredible

[@RachelsYear2025]

Me too Hits hard

[@couch3urner428]

Yall need to look this up because the song she wrote was beautiful. She cried too

[@cbebrad]

When she said her grandma was a country singer, I tried to think of who it might be, but Loretta Lynn never popped into my head. Loretta was country music royalty. No one was bigger in country music than her.

[@ir7862]

What a beautiful person. The way she sang that song was just amazing. Isn’t so many girls thinking the exact same thing.

[@calitocanela]

O8808888k880 poo mo9o0ouo9 ok o9i no lo oí 9😮

[@ryanlevron1972]

That young girl has a great voice... A talented songwriter... And full of humility.... Those three attributes together can carry her her entire career.

[@JeepGurlAZ]

This girl is the real deal. I hope she has a lovely life.

[@michaelodowd4347]

She has her fabulously unique voice. There’s so much soul in her voice. She’s like a young female version of Bob Dylan. Love your voice 🇬🇧 🇮🇪

[@BootCute_28]

She’s freaking adorable.

[@jillys3689]

She made me cry. Luv her.

[@mariebaxter473]

A lot of family history weighing down on this ladies shoulders . For no reason at all , as she smashed it out the park on her own merit , loved her to bits

[@amethystkortz4283]

That small part of that song had me almost in tears. Not just so much because of the lyrics which were beautiful don't get me wrong but because of the feeling in her voice when she sang, I could feel her emotion and her pain and she put it all out there for everyone to see and that is very hard to do. But it's also very beautiful because we all have weakness in us and not all of us have it in us to voice it to the world!!!

[@joynorwood1951]

So talented!!! I know Grandma is proud in heaven

[@CaligulatheEmperor]

Lmao she was famous in Hollywood when the stuff that’s coming out now was even more rampant and widespread so doubt that’s where she is

[@dto2unpoco727]

I think she’s got a beautiful soul and humble personality.

[@amywilkins543]

Beautiful Girl! Beautiful Voice! Loved It!!😍

[@saidrahal]

her family should be proud of such a sweet and beautiful girl , her attitude and energy is amazing

She's so amazing, so humble. I love her.

[@morgan.bullock]

wow. was not expecting to cry watching this. as soon as she started crying I couldn’t stop the tears 😭

[@789truth]

What a genuine lady with a genuine song.

[@thomasriddle8877]

[@mc04161980]

I had the pleasure of visiting Loretta Lynn old home place in butcher hollow in Kentucky. It was such a nice visit talking to her uncle who gave the tour

[@kannascott8462]

Emmy has a beautiful voice! Her grandma would be proud of her.

[@suiciiiddee]

Song was a tear jerker

[@brendacampbell6122]

That song was anointed and raw and real and made me have tears - wow.

[@susan7374]

Such a wholesome person. Love her already

[@JayLuther27]

I like how they had to pull it out of her. She didn't use it as a crutch. I respect that.

[@ralphpeterson2645]

Made Loretta smile in Heaven !!!

[@wendymathews1030]

What an adorable young woman! Such a beautiful voice, I’m so happy she got that yes! I pray she has a wonderful career ahead of her. ❤ Excellent job Emmy!!!

[@FitMommyMakeover]

That song is WOW! It literally brought me to tears and the way her emotions came through was just beautiful ❤

[@rdonovan1]

This girl is going to go far. With her family’s money, connections and her relation to Loretta Lynne and Crystal Gayle, there is no way that she can fail. Loretta Lynne and Crystal Gayle are legendary. They are just as big as Ozzy Osbourne or KISS.

[@lacealb]

She has the purest of souls.

[@carolprescott6293]

Oh I got tears I loved her Grandma Loretta Lynne all her songs 🎵 now her Grandaughter is following her beautiful Grandma with a beautiful voice bless you young beautiful Yong Lady yor Grandma would be so proud ❤😊

[@timoteooo94]

I love how Katy is to younger people especially women. She pushes them to be their best! She laugh and cry genuially and connects with the contestants so well

[@flolacandola9396]

She made me cry! So many of us feel small just like her not realizing GREATER is HE WHO LIVES in US all. 😢!

I can't get over her eyes. She is so beautiful

[@HoveyFarms]

I'm actually lost for words. Absolutely amazing.

[@catsnmi270]

A gorgeous and delightful young lady with a huge talent and future!

[@Jorejaha-c7h]

Katy telling her to say her name made me think of the rooftop scene from The Thing Called Love. "look out music city cause I'm here now and I aint never leaving" RIP River.

[@itsmcminty]

when she started singing i was mesmerized. Right before the chorus and she opened her eyes, you felt all of her pain and emotions lifting away. Powerful.

[@emergecreative_]

I really dont have words to describe how exceptional this person and performance were. Outstanding... So special and pure.

[@LegramontEnravene]

Katy's reaction when she just know that she's Loretty's Granddaughter are so funny 🤣🤣

[@kazukinakamura1110]

She’s such a lovely girl

[@suescherdel6278]

This has been on KZbin tube forever, on every channel. She’s talented and very sweet.

[@drd6893]

I was so close to my grandma too. Losing her to a drunk driver a few yrs ago has broken my heart and every day i miss her more than i can put into words. Ppl will say…. Don’t worry it gets easier over time. Well,… that’s just not true. To be honest, it’s gets harder, and miss her more and it really hurts your heart. If anyone can relate id love to hear from u 💔

[@SierraKing20]

I agree ...it gets harder as time goes on

This made me so emotional!😭😭😭 not me crying mid day! I was just taking my lunch break😂

No words to describe this feeling while watching this.❤

[@KM-nc1xk]

Her eyes are beautiful

[@Elmnt_115]

The judges should have said no. This girl is bigger than any American idol contestant. This girl in my opinion can be bigger than these three judges combine. A yes on American idol didn’t do her the justice or put her on the same level respect is the other amateur contestants. She needs a record label right off the gate.
