Thanks!

Thank you!!!

[@timothyteater1347]

If you are going down the rabbit hole of country music, I'd like for you to checkout Keeper Of The Stars by Tracey Byrd. I think you both will like it

[@AndieO]

This was her first hit - think she was 14 or 15 when she did this. She has that "old time" country feel (think Patsy Cline)

[@Straydogger]

LeAnn Rimes, (born August 28, 1982, in Jackson, Mississippi, U.S.), an American country music singer who topped the charts at age 13 with her rendition of “Blue.” She drew attention and admiration for her vocal similarity to country legend Patsy Cline.

[@christinfierro8009]

I LOVE Patsy Cline!!! 😊

[@lashell8041]

They said 13 at the time

[@rogerdaly6326]

She was 13 when she recorded it and 14 when it got released.

[@thegroovetube3247]

All wrong!! Remarkably this recording is from when she was just 11 years old. There's a video on YT of her explaining that it was re-recorded when she was 13 but through some mix-up it was the previous one which got released.

[@marycarter2469]

This song was originally written for Patsy Cline but she died in a plane crash before the writer to give e it to her. If you love the inflection in LeAnn's voice you'll love Patsy. Go check her songs out. Walking After Midnight and Crazy are two of my favorites.

[@paulkirby6822]

That’s what I was going to say exactly

[@sh.....]

Sweet dreams and She's got you are great Patsy songs too

[@MikinessAnalog]

As an audio engineer with access to an audio A.I., you can hear what it would have sounded like if Ms. Cline actually did get around to singing it.

[@ZoneXV]

It wasn't actually written for Patsy but the song was pitched to Patsy, that is an often spread bit of misinformation. The song wasn't written with anyone in mind but a demo was given to Patsy's husband shortly before she died after the songwriter's own version did not do well. Who knows if she would have recorded it or not.

[@jackgilchrist]

​@@ZoneXV That's what I was going to say. 🙂 Much as I love Patsy and she would have no doubt killed it, I'm glad LeAnn got the song instead. It was made for her.

[@SD-mw1hz]

LeAnn has got one of the best "yodels" in her voice. Hard to believe she was only 14 when singing ths song.

[@revolutionishere]

She was 11 actually

[@DJbadBOY007]

I think she was 13...and actually the youngest grammy winner at that time. With a win of 2 awards I believe. She was the youngest in grammy history.

[@chimera9812]

She was actually only 13 when she recorded this song! It’s crazy how much control she had in her voice along with the yodeling. Also… Jai’s laugh gives me life!!! I love it!❤️

[@mitzicole4671]

The first time I heard "Blue" it gave me chills and still does every time I hear it.

[@gingergaia]

This was the first country video I ever saw, back when it first came out. She changed my mind about country music and she was such a sweet cute girl, only a few yrs older than mine at the time. What a voice!! Have loved her ever since, she may change genre as she grew up but her voice is still just as beautiful.

[@davidd7681]

It was early Sunday morning and I was getting up to start my day and this incredible voice started coming over the radio. I thought it was might have been a previously unknown Patsy Cline tune. The radio announcer then stated she was 13 years old!! What?!? I couldn't believe it. And the rest as they say was history.

[@breedent1789]

She does a live cover of Uninvited that's fantastic! She truly does have one of the best voices out there.

[@seanwallace89]

When I was about ten my dad and I bonded over country music, and Leann Rimes was a favorite. The song "My Hands" is a great one, too!

[@willdragoon1]

Leann Rimes is a great country singer, you should definitely check out her other work

[@scottdarden3091]

When Lee Ann dropped this at 13 a radio station here in Houston played it on a loop all day 😊 and I'll never forget it because when I got home from my commute, I went into my daughter's bedroom, which was the closest to the living room and turned on her stereo to listen some more. Found a note next to the stereo of her telling a friend. " I don't know, he was my first" she was 15 . I didn't know what to do, if I said anything she'd have been pissed.

[@RealTechZen]

Bill Mack who DJed the deep night Coast-to-Coast, Over-The-Road Show for long-haul truckers on the 100,000 watt superstation, WBAP, 820 AM for more than 40 years wrote this song originally for Patsy Cline, but she died in an accident before he could show it to her. Leann Rimes first showed up in public to sing the National Anthem before a Texas Rangers baseball game when she was about 9 years old. WBAP did the game broadcasts, so Bill Mack was at the station prepping for his show when little Leann stepped up to the mic and drowned out the stadium's organ! Bill used his connections in the industry to make sure Leann could have whatever size of career she wanted. And when she was about 12, he gave her this song to record. That's right! What you're listening to is how she sounded at age 12! The video was made when she was about 16. That unique sound is called a yodel, and the guy in the ball cap is the great Bill Mack himself. Lovin' yer channel!

[@amrak5028]

She was 11. I saw her and bought the CD from her Parents.

[@karnsfan]

In his autobiography Bill Mack stated, and he has stated several time, he didn't write this for Patsy nor was she even an inspiration for it.

[@kevinsmith4429]

Grew up on Bill Mack as a child in Ft.Worth, snuck my transistor radio into bed & stayed up most of the night listening to him. Moved to the Chi when I was 11. First night in our new home I decided to see what new stations I might like ,turned on the radio & there was Bill! Had left it on the same station from here & I could still pick him up!In Chicago! Moved back here(Ft. W.) 14 years later and was eating chicken fried steak at a restaurant & ended up sitting on the stool next to him. Wonderful man, put up listening to my Chi story. Not long after , his station dropped his show after like 35 years. Within an hour after midnight the truckers, many of whom had listened for all of those years showed up at the station and started driving in circles around it blaring their horns non stop! By the time the cops got it under control there dozens( one cop said too many to count). This went on for weeks,their overnight ratings which had been #1 all those years dropped off the ratings chart .They did n't bring Bill back but fired them who fired him.He left town under countless death threats!

[@stankwasny56]

She was a child singing star and was only 13 when she recorded this song !

[@elizabitty213]

I love LeAnn Rimes. I pretty much wore out her “You Light Up My Life” album when I was a teenager. Such an amazing voice! If you guys want to hear an inspirational and beautiful song from that album, check out her cover of, “Ten Thousand Angels Cry” I used to sing this for my grandmother, it was her favorite and it makes me cry every time 🥹🙏🏻

[@garymonaghan7196]

You must be one hell of a singer, because this lady can really sing

[@elizabitty213]

@@garymonaghan7196 I used to be pretty good but I haven’t practiced and worked my instrument out in a long time. Thank you though 🤓

[@deloisphillips831]

That crack in her voice is called yodel. She does a perfect job at it. This song was written for Patsy cline and not recorded until someone heard Leanne sing. A very special song

[@amrak5028]

Half, If you only knew.... She was 11 when this was recorded on her Own Label Backed by her Parents. Dad is @4:15. He sold me the CD and Cassettes I still own, when I saw her sing this at The Florida State Fair, LeeAnn was 11 years old then. Dad Drove the Tour Bus with Mom and LeeAnn all over for her to make Stardom at 13. Song Facts says this, Mike Curb, owner of Curb Records, knew he was hearing a career-making song when he first heard "Blue" on Rimes' 1994 release, so he sent the young singer back into the studio to record new vocals for her big debut - but that's not the version that made it to radio. "They actually released the wrong version," Rimes told American Songwriter in 2021. "The one you've been hearing forever is me as an 11-year-old." At 13 years old, LeAnn Rimes became a country music sensation when she released this lonesome ballad as the lead single from her debut album. She first recorded it two years earlier for her independent album All That but cut a new version after she was signed to Curb Records. It was originally supposed to be the B-side of the intended first single, "The Light In Your Eyes," but a snippet of "Blue" on a promo record for radio stations caught the attention of DJs and the sides were reversed. It was a huge hit, peaking at #10 on the Country chart and crossing over to the Billboard Hot 100 at #26. Been a Minute since I sat down with Y'all. Good catching you.

[@donnernoneya26]

You two are too fun! I love her "yodel" as well. Such a beautiful and unique voice. Thanks for the smiles. 😁

[@rhondabradshaw8010]

She was 13 and shocked the world

[@wgdavis5353]

Hi H&J., As someone else commented, it is called Yodelling .. And Ms. Leann does it so effortlessly.. ♠W.G.

[@Randy-md6xl]

You guys always bring a smile to my face. Keep on keeping on.

[@ginapicot2105]

Y’all are so sweet and beautiful. I enjoy you guys. I have been going through a really tough years and you guys really helped me during a troubling year. God bless and keep you in loving arms.

Music was cool back then , We had our music , you all had your music. life was great back in those days.

I just drop in from time to time to checkout Jai's hairstyle - and she's lovely as always.

[@tiffanyl5752]

I love this song, hey Jai and half that thing she does that u like so much is called a yodel, I use to sing that song on karaoke all the time! It's a classic. She was very very young at that time and it caused a little bit of controversy

[@teresamcclendon9029]

Love you guys!!! That's called a Yodel..her voice💥❤

[@PatiAnn]

At least ya'LL got here ...🎉❤.... You still gotta check out her doing Amazing Grace in the old church .... That blew me away 🎉😮🎉❤

[@sheilasisk7550]

Enjoyed your reactions and your vibe. First time seeing yal but won’t be last.

[@shellzmoe8966]

Wow it's been a minute since I heard this one... she has changed SO much since then! She could yodel for real which is an art. Using that technique in a slow romantic song like this is a rare thing and makes it so special. Otherwise yodeling can be an acquired taste for some. My husband and I ate at a Swiss restaurant in Lake Tahoe once, and it was pretty inside and the food was good but there was yodeling music playing the entire time. The ENTIRE time. I told my husband if I worked here I'm pretty sure I'd have to blow my own ears off my head.

[@Jon4784]

Love Leann Rimes she has alot of good songs

[@cashmeremonroe7715]

Double Entendres to the max. You two Crack me up!

Leann is 0ne of 5 best female voices.

Loved this song from the 1st time I heard it . Could not believe she was only 14 years old at the time .💯🔥

[@barbaratomlinson9519]

That crack in her voice is called yodeling. Love you guys.

[@VeryVocalPro]

Great reaction. 😎. There is a name for that “cracking”, it’s called “yodeling”. It’s kind of a lost art, most prominent in Country music back in the day. You wanna get a giggle, find a recording of a gentleman called Slim Whitman and take a listen. His music is featured in a hilarious scene from a movie call “Mars Attacks”. Peace!

[@botabob]

This hit the charts in 1996. I was in the process of moving cross country from SC to the PNW. Leann was co-pilot for the trip. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers

13 y/o when she did this.

[@kaleeb9440]

That is crazy! Literally out of nowhere.. ive been singing this song for the last 3 days.. stuck in my head. Havent heard it in years! come to check your channel and ... BAM! Here it is! Maybe now i wont sing it every 5 seconds. My 7 year old is getting annoyed 😂

[@andrewcoleman6349]

I am glad y'all are grown up since y'all started y'all channel,

[@greeneyelove2003]

It's amazing to think she for her start on Star Search. She is such an amazingly talented person. She can sing country, pop, gospel. She did a remake of the song "Insensitive" (I believe the original singer was Jann Arden) and she also did a remake of 'The Rose' which is beautiful. And if you haven't heard ""I Wanna Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart"' you actually get to hear her yodel.

[@jamesgonzales5285]

A voice that will live forever.

[@TheMrKristens]

Bridge Over Troubled Waters is still one of my favorites by her. But her voice is solid. Truly love her Yodel.

[@slbsqs143mnt2b]

Yodeling! Natural talent and skill.

[@julieford8788]

You should watch her singing Carol of the Bells and the National Anthem. Her voice is incredible .

[@paulmohr319]

As always enjoyed your reaction. Like many songs, once it crosses over many genres and different demographics it no longer is pigeon holed as one style and becomes a classic song. This is just one. All style have examples.

[@carlbaker7242]

Beautiful song.

[@elizabethbutterworth5822]

Gotta do more of Leann

[@snookie91986]

Another good country artist I recently found is Alexandra Kay. Favorite song is Backroad Therapy.

[@kajabrill2404]

She killed this song

[@todddecann2483]

She is very talented young lady. Many have done The National Anthem good n bad but her vetsipn is my favorite. Side notethe writer wrote this for Patsy Cline butshedied before shecould do it. N he hung on to it till in1996 14yr old leann did it

[@user-ev6iy7zm7r]

She grew up in my hometown of lake Butler Florida. I used to work for her grandpa. Super nice and down to earth. She was 16 in this video

It was written by Willie Nelson n he shelved it when Patsy Cline died. He heard this young girl singing in some honky tonk n knew she had Patsy vibes. The rest is history. Nice react to it guys

[@rogerdaly6326]

No sir. This song was written by Bill Mack who was a late night DJ that had a show for truckers that was nationwide. Coast to coast and border to border so truckers could listen to one radio station the whole time they were driving. When Patsey passed Bill put the song away. The station he worked for was WBAP out of Houston. When Leann was 9yrs old they had her sing the National Anthem at a game. Bill and WBAP did the game broadcasts. He was prepping for the game and heard her drown out the organ during the anthem. He then knew he had found the voice to sing the song he wrote 30 yrs earlier for Patsey. Leann actually recorded the song when she was 11 but that version never was released. She then recorded the version we all now know when she was 13. Willie Nelson did write "Crazy" which Patsey did record but he didn't write "Blue".

[@shirleyedwards116]

She was yodeling

[@Corpseunderground5716]
