FIRST TIME REACTING TO | LeAnn Rimes - The Story (Acoustic Church Session)

[@TreeBuddy2]

LeAnn's voice is definitely unmatched. I totally agree that she has a God given talent. LeAnn, took quite a bit of time off for personal reasons but she has always been underrated for some reason. She started singing when she was 12 years old. She is also my favorite singer and is a powerhouse singer but a soft singer as well. She deserves all the accolades she has received and more.

[@heylad]

Great song, originally by Brandi Carlile. I never knew that LeAnn had covered it. She did a wonderful job. I saw Brandi in concert twice, almost 20 years ago, well before she blew up. Incredible singer, songwriter and performer.

[@DDD-dt4zc]

Agreed. Brandi is gem. She is a genius writer and vocalist.

[@michaelmorse5818]

She’s been that way since she was little it is a god giver talent. She blew my mind when she was really really young is crazy her vocals.

[@user-David-Alan]

I totally agree with you, one of the best voices out there. Listen to her a Cappello singing Amazing Grace. It will blow you away. Stay happy.

[@jealousjelly1]

Great suggestion, but Britt has already reacted to that one. And, of course, she loved it.

[@bobbyharrell4864]

She’s been around for a long time, but for sure she is the most underrated artist out there. Check her out on season 4 of the masked singer. She’ll blow you away.

[@SQUATCHY614]

She does have the best true country female voice. I have always adored her voice. She seems to have stayed grounded as a humble person.

[@johnkoz1006]

You are spot on. LeAnn Rimes vocals are unmatched. Please react to her performance as "THE SUN" on "THE MASKED SINGER" of Billie Eilish's "WHEN THE PARTY's OVER" - it is absolutely Stunning. I can understand why she did this show, so people could judge her for her vocal work and not for her social media exposure. Her version of "HOW DO I LIVE" from the motion picture "CON AIR" was replaced with Trisha Yearwood's version as they wanted a more mature sound. Diane Warren wrote the song for LeAnn Rimes who was only 14 years old when she recorded it. Both Trisha and LeAnn Rimes released their singles on the same day. It was also the only time in Grammy History that both singers were nominated in the same category for the same song. The Grammys elected to have LeAnn perform her version on the Awards show and then right after her performance the presented the Grammy to Trisha Yearwood. And as a footnote LeAnn's Version spent a record-breaking 69 weeks on the chart, peaking at number two, spending 25 weeks in the Top Five. It has since become the chart’s fifth biggest hit of all time. And in case you were wondering according to Billboard back in the day the five biggest hits on their chart were: 1. The Twist, Chubby Checker 2. Smooth, Santana Feat. Rob Thomas. 3. Mack the Knife, Bobby Darin. 4. Uptown Funk!, Mark Ronson Feat. Bruno Mars 5. How Do I Live, Leann Rimes. Her catalogue in extensive. and I hope you react to her more. She is highly underrated. Thanks you for including her in your reactions.

[@ettiennemalan8487]

Best performances ever on that show. She had me in tears.

[@atolm1]

One of the greatest voices of our time.

[@GoodStuffForeverMore]

She is definitely one of the best vocalists out there! She transcends country. She can do just about any type of music. True artist through and through❤

[@matthewpino5580]

Leann rimes still holds the record for youngest artist to win a Grammy when she was 14 in 1997

[@rickstevens1479]

At 13 she was blowing minds ... but this is a grown Leann .. magnificent talent...

[@johnkennell4866]

I agree - that girl has amazing vocal and lung ability - incredible.

[@lenaburns]

Great song. You must listen to Brandi Carlisle’s version. ❤️

[@rh-bd6wv]

The break in Carlisle's voice after the bridge is killer. One of the greatest musical moments ever.

[@troyhagen9843]

She reacted to Brandi's version 8 months ago and loved it. I'm surprised she didn't seem to recognize or remember it.

[@butterflymama0838]

I loved LeAnn in the 90's. She faded away from the popularity that she had then. I forgot just how great her voice is until she was on Masked Singer and won. Her voice is so pure and beautiful.

[@stpetie7686]

I agree, Britt. She has the tone, the skill, the delivery, the whatever-you-want-to-put-here. There are sone seriously talented ladies in Country but LeAnn can hold her own against any one of them. At least in my ever-so-humble opinion.

[@DanJohnson-fw2qx1975]

Leanne always makes me cry when she sings the story

[@michaelmorse5818]

Her vocals has always been truly breath taking like when she was 15 she sang blue

[@odochartaighofodonegal2351]

13

[@texasron9131]

This woman has been incredible, from the first time she appeared in a country review in Fort Worth, as a young teen. She is a talent.

[@kendrickmagee672]

LeAnn Rimes is a amazing Country singer her voice 🗣🗣🗣is incredible

[@Jjack1392]

LeAnn has the most beautiful and serene Head voice. listen to her performing at the after Oscars party

[@josemarques308]

Lê Ann Rimes won the Masked Singer as the Sun Need to check it out

[@jonelmer3518]

She makes singing sound easy!

[@katnelson3793]

Love LeAnn and Britt you should hear her song probably wouldn't be this way.... it's very heart felt and emotional ❤

[@tarheelforlife4008]

You have to listen her sing Amazing Grace in a church it’s in YT it mind blowing love your content

[@almetastone8897]

Britt reacted to Leann Rimes Amazing Grace. You can look it up in the search bar. It was a another great reaction from Britt... enjoy

[@GussieS-kx2vy]

AMEN!!!! 🙏 my favorite female voice! So beautiful! 💗💜

[@debibailey2968]

I agree with all you've said. At least today. I think that Patsy Cline had the very best strong amazing voice , IMHO....

[@debbywilkins2239]

Patsy Is my pick but LeeAnn does have a great voice

[@AB-C1]

Yeah she's good.. 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@michaelmorse5818]

The popped out of her mothers huh that way I think it’s absolutely correct. She just opened her eyes in this world with that gift.

[@michaelmorse5818]

Her mom was not suppose to be able to have children. She prayed to be able to wham she was. from the beginning, God has had a hand been basically LeAnn Rimes being here her gift her first song so many times it’s just absolutely amazing when you really listen to the full story and see how God influence so many different things, so yeah, she is a gift not to her parents, but to all of us cause her voice in the kind of person she is in her love for children and what she does for children she does a lot of things wonderful wonderful lady

[@NateScottCook]

Totally agree - I love Reba, Dolly, Carrie, Shania, and so many others, but gurl! LeAnn is the queen!

[@richsalm7474]

You should listen to her song "Spaceship". It is one of her most emotional songs.

[@TrishF_2024]

I Do- duo with Aloe Blacc. Beautiful duet. Top of the World, What Have I Done. Alll🔥🔥🔥

[@kennethdorn6393]

her voice is the most pure - period.

[@barbararobbins5309]

You are not wrong. I've heard her twice at the Ryman in Nashville, and she us amazing!

[@rickmartin7533]

LeAnn Rimes has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve heard she did an amazing job with Amazing Grace a song she did acapella. She is definitely up there with Kelly Clarkson.

[@marcuswood5975]

I agree 100%

[@LisaC.-mebugyou]

I agree with you , best most well controlled and with the most awesome tone of voices in country music, or any music for that matter!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

Thanks for featuring LeAnn. She doesn't get the attention she deserves. BTW, I hope you react to Creep again. The Haley/PMJ version that has 120 million views:)

[@pamagnolia]

Beautiful song!! Love her voice too!! 😅

[@ginatouche]

“There’s actually nothing to argue with me about here, there’s nothing” hahaha I love you! Fan here since I was 12 and she has been this amazing since the get go and has only strengthened her god given talent. Love your reviews!

[@carefullbob8136]

Started at13 (Blue) talented.

[@ShadowBoxer1111]

She was a really big name back in the day and on every radio station. Sadly, the public turned on her when it came out that she had an affair with a married man. There’s a lot more to the story, but the two of them fell in love and got married. And now she’s even friends with his ex wife. But she was sort of blacklisted for a long time and people thought of the affair when they heard her name instead of her singing.

[@bluewheels3980]

Dolly Parton also did a wonderful cover of this song that is really worth a listen. To answer your question LeAnn Rimes was huge between 1996 when she was 12 and 13 years old and roughly 2011. In fact she sued both her father and her record company in 2001 for mismanagement of funds. Her dad had embezzled a large amount of money from her. He had access to the funds because she was a minor at the time, plus he was acting as her record producer. After the lawsuit, she signed a new, more equitable record deal, and her father was no longer involved in her career. in 1997, when she was 14, she and Trisha Yearwood had competing versions of the same song released at the same time. Collectively, Leann's version of how do I live sold about 10 million copies, and Trisha Yearwood's version sold around 3 million copies they were both nominated for a Grammy in 1998. Leann got to perform the song live on the Grammy stage but Trisha Yearwood walked away with a Grammy win I would love to see a reactor compare both versions back to back and to see who did it better after leaving curb Warner Brothers in 2013 Leanne signed a record deal with Sony UK on which the song you just reacted to was recorded but unfortunately that album went nowhere and she was let go from Sony. Of early LeAnn Rimes my two favorite songs are the light in your eyes and commitment of adult Leanne my favorite song is I can't be myself when I'm with you

[@sherylmellady6685]

She has a God given gift! The tabloids really raked her over the coals when she sued her dad, and then the Eddy affair. She gave me goose bumps as soon as I heard Blue! I knew she would be a star.

[@BUMP-uu7ez]

You need to react to Leann Rimes- Spaceship- Deep deep song. Or Martina McBride Concrete Angels. Both are deep and emotional.

[@douglaspensack3499]

My two favorite female singers of past 30 years are LeAnn and Angelina Jordan. One similarity? They're both mezzo-sopranos.

[@donaldjones7058]

If you haven't already check out her doing Blue Lonesome for You she yodels I agree with you a lot she is a great singer Also the song you light up my life I think her voice is a gift from God

[@darrenwilkes5858]

You're absolute spot on Britt as always 😂.. Abd thanks again for putting a smile on my face ❤

[@Carla-hk2jo]

I love her song Spaceship.

[@marcuswood5975]

I think she's definitely one of country music's royalty

[@donbowden5903]

Leann Rimes unchained melody

[@drewcliff82]

LeAnn has been in the business her whole life. Started singing at 2, was well known in the industry by 8. As a teen she released a number 1 hit (Blue) and it won 2 Grammys. Then her parents went through a bad divorce that was very public and she sued her father for 7 mil that he had taken from her. Then around 2010 or so her and her current husband had an affair followed by a nasty divorce. She ended up going half insane and checked herself in a hospital. Since that she has mostly decided to focus on her family (Husband and step kids) and her mental health.

[@stevepotter7616]

She did this song first on an episode of The Masked Singer before releasing this video. So fun to watch. You really need to check it out

[@audiemccall5332]

Just watched Dolly do this song ,Made me tear up it’s a “ have to listen to”.

[@itsspiritual8645]

I might have mentioned a singer names, Casi Joy, that sang the song, Blue for her audition on the Voice. @Casi Joy sings the #NationalAnthem at #KansasCity @Chiefs #SuperBowl parade!

[@edwardgibson4466]

Agree with you 1,000% about her vocals and her being underrated. If you look more into her story I think you find out she went through some things tied to the very young age at which she began and the control of her career by her father. I know there were legal battles and she tried to take her career in different directions. I also think she decided to take herself out of the limelight for awhile.

[@kevincarpenter2525]

LeAnn is indeed underrated. She's an amazing vocalist and great live performer. Her music and aspirations haven't always fit neatly into the Country Genre. She had some crossover success in the US and even more in Europe. She released a more pop album exclusively in Europe. She has also received a bit of backlash from Country Music Fans for a very public extramarital affair. Women in Country pay dearly for their indiscretions. Blake Shelton (two affairs) and Jason Aldean have done the same but the standard is different for men.

[@sweetsoutherngirl40]

Paparazzi ate her up I hope she puts something new out soon God Bless

[@amandadavis2017]

Leeann Rimes ' Ten Thousand Angels Cried' 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@loralayne2471]

Yes , that one is beautiful.

[@vickyrobertson3166]

Please react to her tribute to Patsy Cline. You will love it. Leann Rimes has such an amazing voice.

[@Jjack1392]

Youngest female artist to win a Grammy at age 13, u should react to her cover of Janis Joplins " Summertime"'

[@davidjohnston1374]

LeAnn's career was almost destroyed during a major love scandal she was involved with some years back but recently she has been contracted as a Coach and Mentor on the Voice TV show in Australia and now in England. I think she was also on the Voice in the USA. One of the things that upset her a bit that when on the Voice, is nobody really knew or remembered her from her early days as many of the contestants were either too young or not even born when she released "Can't fight the moonlight" that was famous in Coyote Ugly movie where she made a Cameo appearance. She was one of the many artists in their career who switched from Country to Mainstream Pop music hence you probably haven't heard Country Music from her in a while.

[@elmarkothegreat]

Would love to watch you react to that so sad makes me cry

[@gwilli9511]

LeAnn and Allison Krause are my favs.

[@peggyradeck9140]

Britt I would really love it if you would sing a song for us. You have such a beautiful voice 💜

[@ericeisenhart6370]

i agree😮

[@jonelmer3518]

The way she sings this song makes me want to hear her sing it with Reba.

[@peggyradeck9140]

She is very underrated

[@artmasotes7539]

I’m with you also.

[@Cello2891]

I’ve been following LeAnn since she was 13, when she came out with “Blue”. She’s still HUGE in Europe. But she’s also very celebrated in the country world (she’s one of the OGs of this country generation). This is a cover of Brandi Carlile. Also, I believe LeAnn did a cover of “Creep”. Another one who covered “Creep” was Kelly Clarkson. Please react to those 2 covers if you can??? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤪🤪

[@tammylewis1449]

You should hear Brandi carlile sing it she is the original singer of the song

[@michaelmorse5818]

Leigh Ann recently did a interview on CBS News and it tells why everything happened to her the way it has and also let us know that she has a new album coming out pretty quick call God story you love stories you need to listen to this you would enjoy it

[@itsspiritual8645]

I like Martina McBride, not only for her voice, but for the meaning in the songs she sings.

[@GraciesMom]

I’ve loved LeAnn Rimes since she came onto the scene at the age of 14. Her tone and natural musicality are refreshing. If you’d like to hear the original The Story, Brandi Carlyle sang it first and is she so good!!! It’s more blues/rock and she does a good version on SNL. Her performance of The Joke at the Grammys brought the house down and she won the Grammy for it. She’s a singer songwriter who has a unique voice. I really think you’d like The Joke-it’s about social norms and bullying. Thanks for your reactions!!!!❤

[@elizabethbutterworth5822]

Leann Rimes and Carrie Underwood are the best female vocalist in any genre.

[@chuckles5163]

BRITT,REACT TO HER FIRST RECORDING OF "BLUE"!!!! RECORDED WHEN SHE WAS 13 YEARS OLD!!!! NO TRAINING JUST NATURAL GOD GIVEN TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DDD-dt4zc]

Brandi Carlisle wrote this song and it is beyond deep. As someone who buried a spouse for aome reason this song always feels like it peirces my heart. Those line do truly come from hard experiences. Please dig into Brandis catalog too

[@odiebryer2144]

I just love LeAnn! ❤ I was watching the Grammys when she was just 14 (?) and sang HOW DO I LIVE on stafe. Then Trisha Yearwood, who sang the same song and both were nominated for best vocal, was announced as the winner of that category as LeAnn was leaving the stage. I thought that was dirty and I was really upset that they did that to her. I always hated Trisha for that, too. I realize that it was probably not at fault for all that but how that all went down was really bad. I don't think I've watched the Grammys since then. I might have felt different if they had at least let her get off the stage first but they did it so creepy that it made it memorable, for bad memories, that is. Anyhoo, I've loved her and her voice since the beginning of her career. I'm glad that she's still around! ❤ Love that you love her voice! 😂❤

[@wilmagillum2526]

I always love me some LeAnn from beginning to end. Could you react to some Christina Aguilar, and Amy winehouse

[@polocash11]

She sings the Coyote Ugly song from the movie. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKmWpGxve7OLsKssi=aLwaU4ntuBtJqJ1U "Can't Fight Moonlight"

[@ThelmaBaker-v2b]

The purity of her voice is undeniable. The only woman I can think of who had this kind of purity was Patsy Cline. Leanne has been compared to her by many. ❤

[@ryanmajors6115]

React to the mask singer. The sun. Leann will blow you away

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

I don’t know if anybody considers her country other than me, but the only singer who competes with LeAnn for me is the original artist behind this song: Brandi Carlile. If I could snatch somebody’s voice like Ursula the Sea Witch, it would be Brandi’s I would snatch.

[@bobbyharrell4864]

This song is probably one of the best songs ever written, and it was written by Brandi Carlile. Yet this song wasn’t written for her she sang this song on season four of the masked singer and said it was sung because of her bond she has with her husband Eddie Cibrian. And I agree she probably has the best not only country voice, but she also does crossover. If you listen to any of the songs on the voice, you will see what I’m talking about amazing plus she is the youngest person ever to win a Grammy at age 14 for her song blue. You should listen to her cover of Atlantis Morissettes uninvited.

[@sharleencronje8132]

You should listen to Wynonna (from The Judds). Her vocal power will blow you away!

[@matthewdooley7855]

Amazing voice. I wish she would put out more work. There are some really powerful female country vocalists, LeAnn is definitely right up there. Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, and Carrie Underwood are right there, too. Shania Twain sold a bajillion records, and I'd count her among the modern Mount Rushmore.

[@sandramoore]

You should hear Dolly Parton's cover of this song. And you should react to LeAnn Rimes video of her song Spaceship.

[@donnasusiebartonmerrill397]

I think she was 14.

[@emonn01]

She was really famous her infidelity was never forgotten by people

[@clatoris69]

I will never say a negative thing about her vocal talent, I will only add that when it comes to female country vocalists, you should probably give Martina McBride a fair listening to. You might appreciate it.

[@nate1sam]

She has one of the most tragic storys in country music. Her parents fought over her money when ahe was a teen

[@stevepotter7616]

Yep, can't argue with you on this one. Lol

[@1utube01]

Heard this first by Brandi Carlile. Demands a strong voice.

[@johnstruewing1164]

Yes, dear.

[@robertscherer963]

I agree, a true GEM for decades, but never treated as a tier 1 artist! I Give!! Turn on one of her songs, close your eyes, and dare to tell me you don't hear Patsy Cline! I rest my case!!!

[@DanielRyan-t6w]

Britt check out LeAnn singing "The Rose" with The Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles it's stunning I promise you

[@Jjack1392]

Another power house country singer is the great Martina McBride

[@Wanda-t1e]

2 Grammys , 12 billboards, 2 world music awards, 3 academy of country and 1 country of music association award and a dove award plus best new artist award at 14 with her first Grammy at 14 for her song Blue . This woman is incredible. All her accomplishments were forgotten, wiped out because of Country Music being dumbass’s , ignorant ass’s I should say because of a scandal. Like none of them EVER did anything wrong in their lives. I know what she did was wrong, I know but think her music should of stopped. What happened to forgiveness???

[@peterburrell007]

Britt, give JohnnySwim a try(first try or touching heaven would be a good start), I think you'd really love the vocals.

[@johnstitcher1640]

You definitely need to check out the original version of this by Brandi carlile

[@RyanWitalison]

Main Stream Country Radio isn't the same as it was when she was younger, it's more bro-country and pop. So more Traditional voices and older talents aren't highlighted as much. Plus she kind of took a step back when she became an adult and out of her parent's hands
