Hi Joseph. Not writing this to compare because she did so great. But you seem like a guy with a big heart that likes to really connect with an artist. Suggestion - try Marcus King “Goodbye Carolina” Crossroads Festival. Marcus friend committed suicide and didn’t leave note. Marcus wrote the note - it’s the song. He has been described as a love child from Stevie Ray and Janis Joplin. Enjoy

She seems like such a sweetheart. She doesn’t walk in the room and give off the vibe like she wants to be the center of attention. She seems like she really has talent and she wants to sing and work hard for it just like her coal mining ancestors. That’s without even mentioning that she seems like an incredible writer too.

[@GameChanger597]

Honestly I think her song was weird and disturbing. She could have sang any song but instead she picked one she wrote personally about superficiality and caring more about looking skinny than anything else including bettering the world by helping others. She's thin to begin with so it left me wondering if she was actively starving herself which is beyond sick. Her voice was good in its own way but I found her song to be off-putting to say the least. It sounded like just another attention grabbing ode to mental health disorders and personal self hatred. Gross.

She was interviewed on a Nashville morning show after the audition and said she was so nervous and unsure of herself that she told the American Idol producer that she didn't think she could go through with the audition and should leave. The producer took her to a room and asked her to perform for him to settle her down, and she said he had tears after she performed. Seeing how her song moved him gave her the strength to go through with the audition.

She has a fresh sound and her own songs that she wrote. She not impersonating anybody or trying to sound like anyone else. The singer that get on American Idol try to sound like most singers and want to be and act like them. This is the most original singer with a fresh sound since Tanya Tucker. You need to stop and think she is going places no matter if she wins or not. It doesn't matter who her grandmother is. The reality Emmy has a lot of talent.

When we were getting off the plane she said I'm going to walk these little girls to the gate. She held me and my sister's hands. When we reached the gate where my parents were waiting, my mom saw us and screamed Loretta Lynn Omg,etc. We still had no idea who she was, just a really pretty nice lady.

A fine songwriter. Few are commenting on the very sensitive message of her song. It is a song about eating disorders. She is, I suspect, struggling with an eating disorder herself. The song is a powerful expression of loathing one's own body. That is the manifestation of this gifted young woman's struggle. if you are reading these comments Emmy Russell, I think you have shown not only your great gifts as a singer/songwriter, but you are showing courage to share an agonizing disorder. We are here to support you! I was a teacher many years ago and I grew to recognize those with eating disorders in my classroom. i also learned what an agonizing, lonely disorder to have to deal with.

They will not believe it. To make the country a great red dragon, the most backward of places, is not an easy task. If this work is carried out openly, how will they allow it to advance? Can they bear the Does God exist? So My work cannot be seen, known or discovered by unbelievers. So, working stealthily in this way benefits both you and the business as a whole. Everyone will know that there is a group of winners in China; everyone will know that God incarnate is in China and that His work has come to an end. It appears that God is personally doing His work in China and has perfected a group of people as overcomers.) Almighty God said At the time Jesus worked in Judea, He worked openly, but now, I work and speak to you in secret. Unbelievers are completely unaware of this. My work with you is closed to others. These WORDS, these PUNISHMENTS and JUDGMENTS, are REVEALED ONLY to YOU and NOT to OTHERS. ALL this WORK is PERFORMED on YOU and REVEALED ONLY to YOU; NONE of the NON-BELIEVES KNOW this, BECAUSE the TIME has NOT YET COME. These PEOPLE are ABOUT to BECOME PERFECT after ENDURING the PUNISHMENTS, BUT those OUTSIDE do NOT KNOW ABOUT it. This work is too hidden! ☀️🙏 FOR THEM, the INCARNATION of GOD is HIDDEN, BUT to THOSE in this FLOW, He can be CONSIDERED NOT secret. ☀️ Although everything is open to God, everything is revealed and everything is revealed, this is only true for those who believe in Him, and nothing is revealed to those who do not believe. The work that is going on with you and in China is tightly closed, so that they don't know. 🙏 IF they KNEW ABOUT it, they WOULD ONLY JUDGE and PERSECUTE it. They won't believe it. ☀️ To MAKE the COUNTRY of the GREAT RED DRAGON, the MOST BACKWARD of PLACES, is NOT AN EASY THING to DO. IF this WORK is REVEALED, it WILL be IMPOSSIBLE to CONTINUE. This PHASE of the WORK SIMPLY CANNOT be PERFORMED in this AREA. IF this WORK were to be CARRIED OUT OPENLY, HOW would they ALLOW it to go FORWARD? 🙏 Wouldn't this bring even greater risk to the work? IF this WORK had NOT been HIDDEN, and INSTEAD had BEEN CARRIED out LIKE in the TIME of JESUS, WHEN He MIRACULOUSLY HEALED the SICK and CAST OUT DEMONS, WOULDN'T it have BEEN "locked up" by the DEMONS for a LONG TIME? ☀️🙏 CAN they TOLERATE the EXISTENCE of GOD? IF I were to ENTER the SYNAGOGUES NOW to PREACH and GIVE a SERMON to PEOPLE, WOULDN'T I have been CRUSHED LONG AGO? And if that happens, how can My work continue to be carried out? The reason why signs and wonders are not revealed openly is to cover up. SO My WORK CANNOT be SEEN, KNOWN or DISCOVERED by UNBELIEVERS. 🙏☀️ If this phase of work were to be done in the same way as Jesus' in the Age of Grace, it would not be as strong as it is today. So, working stealthily in this way benefits both you and the business as a whole. When GOD'S WORK on EARTH COME to the END, that is, when this secret WORK is FINISHED, this phase of WORK WILL BE REVEALED. EVERYONE KNOWS there is a group of WINNERS in CHINA; EVERYONE WILL KNOW that GOD INCARNATED is in CHINA and His WORK has COME to COMPLETION. Only then will it be clear to people: Why has China not yet shown a decline or collapse? It APPEARS that GOD is PERSONALLY DOING His WORK in CHINA and has PERFECTED a GROUP of PEOPLE as OVERCOMERS. 🙏 From "The Mystery of the Incarnation (2)" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll.

Omgosh! She makes me cry. I love how humble she is and doesn't act entitled in any way. You know, I'm not so sure that she would've told them who her "Legend! First Lady of Country Music" precious Meemaw is, had they not asked her. She wanted to go to make it through, as they all do. To her credit, she didn't expect it and doesn't have a huge balloon that needs to be popped, like a lot of children and grandchildren that come from famous families do. You can tell that she was raised right and not spoiled. She doesn't want to ride on her Meemaw or family's coat tails. She wants to be herself and be known as "Emmy Russel" not, "Oh yeah! She's Loretta Lynn's granddaughter! She can sing! Sign her now!" I mean, I could be wrong. But, I would think that she knows the people to contact that would work everything out for her, and she could just breeze right through it. But, she is not like that at all.

Such a humble child, with the sweetest heart. Your voice touches souls Ms. Russell :)

*Gosh, she is so darn humble, I can't get enough of this girl. She's going places.*

[@andraenico]

First of all, THAT SONG!!

[@chriscarr5429]

Emmy you got this you have a gorgeous voice and beautiful writing ability. I normally don't watch American Idol. I like your music style. It's your own style you don't sound like everyone else. Emmy your music is original and the songs you wrote. I loved your grandma music just as much. I followed Loretta Lynn career since I was a kid growing up in the 70s until her passing. I don't like the singers of today's modern time. I like your original music for me it's a good sound and a fresh sound. I understand I had trouble with eating in the late 70s and early 80s. I got teased in school over it because I was skinny.

[@johnphillips4268]

She is beautiful and charming. She comes off as a very sweet young woman. I can see millions falling in love with her at first sight.

[@Jackson-fm4ve]

She is the absolute cutest! What an instantly likeable person.

[@zeenatbaer138]

What a delightful young woman - and it is so refreshing when someone writes a song about something so personal, that so many of us have gone through, it doesn't always have to be a love song, and she did it so brilliantly. I wish her so much success I am sure she will get there.

[@dw1617]

She is so SWEET!!! Hollywood, you better NOT try to change her!!!

[@skylerbaize]

This is perhaps, the most pure and authentic auditions I have ever seen!!! She is such a sweet and pure soul, it makes me want to know her! What a sweet woman!

[@radicalrick9587]

*This is awesome, because when she said, on the road with my grandma, they probably thought some small timer trying to make it big like many are and maybe they heard of her, etc... But no, she name-dropped Loretta Lynn!! The shock on the judge's face is priceless. You couldn't have a better teacher than Loretta if you tried.*
