First Time Listening To LeAnn Rimes "Blue" | Vocal Coach Reaction (& Analysis) Jennifer Glatzhofer

[@patbrewer4205]

This is a very old recording she recorded this song when she was 13-14. Yrs old written by Bill Mack for Patsy Cline but she died in a plane crash and didn’t get to do it, Bill Mack was a Radio DJ heard very late nights out of Ft Worth Tx truck drivers loved his show, He gave it to Leann to record as he felt she was as close to Patsy in style

[@geraldrobinson7019]

And 30 years later

[@lawwdogg1digr]

13

[@thegroovetube3247]

No. Remarkably the single was recorded when she was 11. There's an interview with her on You Tube where she explains that she recorded it as an 11 year-old, then re-recorded it for release as a single when she was 13 - but there was a mix-up with the tapes and it was the original version which ended-up being released.

[@ronnelson7828]

It was not written for Patsy Cline.

[@patbrewer4205]

@ so your calling Mr Mack a liar because that’s what he said

[@fredkemper5957]

It was an instant hit in its day. LeAnn is a great talent in my opinion. Thanks Jenn! 😊

[@linusromey561]

Although LeAnn DID record this song while working on the album when she was 13, she stated in an interview that there was a mix up and the version which was actually released was recorded when she was only 11.

[@jasonmcewen436]

Since this is a new artist to the channel, something to consider is that she was only 13 years old when she recorded this... In my opinion, a flawless performance of an instant classic.

[@user-David-Alan]

She has abilities that very few singers can match. Check out the Masked Sun singer and all the songs she sang in that TV show. She won of course. She is now in her 40's and can still belt a tune. A Capella performance of Amazing Grace will make you cry. It's a rabbit hole but worth traveling. Stay happy.

[@curiousman1672]

I'm of the opinion that her singing is under-appreciated. She was just a baby in this video, maybe 15 years old. Always had a clean adult voice, even at 10 years old. To me, a really talented and gifted singer, across all the genres she sings.

[@triffus]

She was 13 here

[@nancyholter5646]

I remember being stunned when I found out that this Patsy Cline voice was coming out of a 13 yr old kid. Her The Rose is beautiful, as well as I Believe and Bridge over Troubled Waters, tot name just a couple.

[@dalepettiner5036]

I don't recall exactly where (other than on You Tube), but she did a tribute medley to Patsy Cline that is killer.

[@wilshade]

LeAnn Rimes both sang "How Do I Live". Rimes and Yearwood were at different stages of their lives when each recorded their version. It might make an interesting analysis to compare their approaches to the same song.

[@drekfletch]

Ooh. A comparison video would be a cool analysis.

[@madsquishy3410]

She's so young here that she still almost has that baby fat on her cheeks lol. People know her as country but honestly her voice is a powerhouse and she can sing anything. She did The Masked Singer a few seasons back and was just crazy good. She really is a top tier vocalist.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Yes! Watched a performance from the Masked Singer as it popped up on my feed 😁

[@anitasmith7764]

Awesome reaction! I think the word she was singing that you thought she said “him” is actually “you” “lonesome for you”

[@ashleywatts6235]

I believe I heard she is known to have perfect pitch since she was a small child. She started performing when she was just a little bitty girl. I think she was about 8 years old on Star Search back in the day.

[@petecogan1]

She was 13 here. She’s 41 now and still on tour.

[@kennethbryson7751]

Great reaction Jennifer, she is quite a talent! Talks in a high voice as well so shows that she is capable of going into some high sounds without flipping but you are right, the twang makes it easier for her to flip! Great job Jenn. Low bass Kenneth

[@alexharbison4411]

Nice reaction. She is so young here and still has that child voice here. Her voice would mature and would become a very beautiful, very unique, voice. I hope you will do some of her later tunes like, Probably Wouldn't be This Way.

[@jamesalford8997]

Awesome reaction and analysis Jen! I love Leann. You should check out her rendition of “Unchained Melody.”

[@davecampbell3455]

I'm 72 and have never been # 1 on any singing platform much less at 13. Leann also sang " Cattle Call " with Eddy Arnold " with lots of yodeling. Loved your reaction as usual young lady. Oh, I did have a request after singing for a small crowd to do a solo number. Well, actually, I was asked to sing so low that they couldn't hear me.

[@coletedeux]

😄

[@larrywright3132]

She was in the movie Coyote Ugly alongside Piper Perabo singing atop the bar.

[@kirkzentner3262]

She did all the singing for Piper's character.

[@kevinstudebaker5912]

I had the privilege to hear her sing 26 yrs ago in Houston.. such a beautiful voice. She sang this song when i was there. Amazing!! Love your reactions, Jen!❤

[@WilliamRoop-xt6rp]

Leanne is staying true to the original singer's (Bill Mack) version while leaping and jumping to make it HERS.

[@JGoolsby]

Leann Rimes is only 13 years old when she recorded this song and she is only 14 on this concert .

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

I always thought she was singing "lonesome for you".

[@marcuswood5975]

She's one of the greatest voices in America she's one of our prized possessions

[@jenniferworley7115]

Please check out Ruby Leigh from last season on the Voice. She was a 16 year old Country/Western singer on Reba McIntyre's team. You don't have to react if you don't have time but for your own enjoyment Ruby's blind audition was amazing. She is so fast and accurate with her yodeling, she had the judges gobsmacked. Totally different than LeAnn's style of yodeling but I find them both so amazing. Great reaction as always Jen. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and analysis. Peace and love to all.✌🤗

[@joeparker9516]

I keep coming back to watch you, Jenn.

[@greatauntielou6158]

One of the most underrated female singers out there imho.

[@user-oc1qo5dk4b]

She's sold nearly 40 million records, sold-out concert venues around the world, won numerous awards, including two Grammys. She's definitely not underrated.

[@drekfletch]

When she first released the recording, it was a THING, I heard about her even here where country music isn't as popular. It was a big moment in the History of Western Music.

[@stevecollins7607]

I remember the first time I heard Leann sing this song via television, like this. I was in my early teens and had just an embryonic knowledge of country music but when I heard that voice emanating from the television, being projected by this little girl no less, I thought "surely there are angels living among us, camouflaged as human beings because this voice is just other-worldly. Granted, I had a very limited exposure to country music at the time but I struggled to reconcile what I was hearing with my reality, and the only conclusion I was able to reach was that "THIS EXTRAORDINARILY ANGELLIC VOICE IS SIMPLY UNPARALLELED AND HER TALENT IS STAGGERING - SHE'S NOT HUMAN"

[@thunderstruckgaming1612]

Your channel is one of my favorite to watch. I love the way you grrk out over the music and explain things. Thank you. LeAnn is the greatest female artist in my opinion. He vocals and talent is so under apprecitated. You should check out her more especially her performances as the sun on masked singer.

[@jimmyterry8233]

I was a senior in high school when I saw her live in Wichita Falls, TX.

[@rmdewberry2482]

Gosh, this unlocked some old memories. TY!

[@BigAl53750]

The fact that she was so young when she did this performance shows that this is just as naturally as breathing for her. The recording that was first released by the record company was actually laid down when she was ELEVEN. They got her to record it again at age 13, but due to some stuff up, the older track was the one that got released.

[@rodconner9079]

Yep -- She was 13 when this was released and this performance, I wanna say like 15ish - but probably 14. Now, when we got it on the radio, no one knew anything about her or the song .... Honestly thought it was a newly discovered unreleased recording of Patsy Cline. An HUGE hit for Leann. Love it Jen!!! Be Safe

[@CFWhitman]

This performance is from the televised _Leann Rimes In Concert Disney Special_ from June 22, 1997, about two months before her fifteenth birthday.

[@sethdarby708]

this song and her song "one way ticket" are my 2 favorites by her she has the most angelic voice

[@paralyse78]

I saw her live and impromptu acapella back in early spring of 1994 at Winn Morton's ranch in Lancaster, TX. Stage was some 2x6's & plywood we set up over hay bales in front of the stables. A bunch of old cowboys & cowgirls (and this young man) couldn't believe that big voice was coming out of that young little lady. Shades of Patsy Cline & Brenda Lee. I swear the entire ranch stopped and listened, even the horses were calm. The ladies were up in the Big House doing a home tour and charity auction, and they all came out there too. Up until Mandy Barnett's first record, she was the closest I ever heard anyone come to sounding like Patsy.

[@susanthompson8962]

She is a country artist with some yodeling. Only 13 at the time. This song is old ,but not very old. No auto tune. Perfect pitch!

[@WilliamRoop-xt6rp]

YAY! It's a Jen-tastic day!!!

[@FrogLegs313]

Not only is that a 13 year old voice but that is also a 13 year old owning that stage with her presence

[@Aussiecris214]

Your doing the vocal dancimg genius as usual thanks❤❤

[@Jennifer_J_C]

Vocal gymnastics! Thanks Jen 😊

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

🥰

[@HBKCommish]

As much as I love my Pentatonix and Home Free. In my opinion LeAnn Rimes' version of "Amazing Grace" is the absolute golden standard, easily S Tier, and I'm not sure anyone else will ever come close to matching it. You should react to it sometime if you want to be blown away. There is no instrumentals. Just 100% acapella and sung in a church.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Amazing! Thanks for the recommendation 😁

[@jamesmonahanmusic]

LEEANN YOU'RE THE LOVER OF MY LIFE (C)2006

[@larrylindgren9484]

Oddly she gets forgotten just how good she is. When the list great female singers she's not there. It's criminal. She is flat amazing. She makes it look so easy and it's not.

[@mollieking7432]

Great analysis of the yodeling - fyi, she singing ".... so lonesome for you." (not him, rhymes with blue)

[@rickstevens1479]

A 13 year old child , what a wonderful voice...

[@davidh.4649]

Jennifer! Some early LeAnn Rimes! VERY early to read the comments ... 13! 😯 Great stage presence for one so young. The launch of that song is on a "B" sound (blue, of course) and she has to just launch right in. Clearly not a problem. I do recall the story about this song having been written for Patsy Cline and who never got to record it so LeAnn, who had Patsy vibes, did. Great reaction and analysis as always Jen!

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

[@johnniecalhoun5381]

she was doing a concert in the early 80's where I lived . She was 15 , I believe . I got to be on her security team and I got the chance to meet her ! She put on a killer show !!!

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

She was 13 in the mid 90s, so it couldn't have been the early 80s.

[@reanimated]

No she was not. She was only born in 1982.

[@DanielRyan-t6w]

this is good but if you check out her singing "Amazing Grace" this lady's voice box is really something else really underrated

[@alanFconrad]

So GREAT !

[@AgentAO7]

That isn’t something you can learn.. That was a natural vocal gift! Leann Rimes is one of the best singers in the world. And if you hear her now, she sings even better! ❤ Please react to her song: “Spaceship” Incredible! 😊

[@thedashinbetween]

Blue was originally written for the great Patsy Cline but Patsy passed away before getting to record it.

[@GraciesMom]

Actually she did record it. I believe it was one of her greatest hits. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKK9eZegpN2Dhposi=RYvNWjD1cY7OFWR0 💕

[@TammyRussell-sm6hd]

Voical gymnastics yeah

[@dwightlyon3643]

LeAnn was singing and winning competitions when she was 5 years old. and could probably give you a bit of advice!

[@jwb52z9]

LeAnn has had that voice since she was a tiny girl. :)

[@gardenia3044]

I'm begging you to listen to her singing Unchained Melody!!! I think its in the same concert as this one. You will LOVE it!

[@denveradams4909]

LeAnn Rimes is to country music, what Karen Carpenter is to easy listening/pop music. Voices so pure and smooth that they almost defy reality. I could listen to them all day long. Absolutely love it.

[@thablackguy84]

Fun fact: This was the very first country song I liked as a kid. (it was the yodeling.)

[@vickyrobertson3166]

She is amazing. Now you have to react to her tribute to Patsy Cline. You will love it.

[@ramonarichardson7904]

Yes she was 13 when she released the song, “Blue”. I got to see her live in Florida when she was 14. I had up close and personal seating. It was amazing to watch her sing 🎤 and watch her throat and diaphragm have such control over her singing. I’ve always loved ❤her music and always will. She sang a song she wrote on a Hallmark movie in the last couple of years and did it crying! It was incredible. Check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn-XmZKDpdifg7csi=4EshIXk4ulh5DX2a

[@ronfehr7899]

Did you think of Patsy Cline at all while LeAnn was singing? The first time that I heard this song, that's the first thought that struck me. And later on, I found out that's who the song was originally written for. Of course, Patsy's tragic death meant that she could never record the song. How fortunate we were that LeAnn was able to discover it and sing it.

[@itsspiritual8645]

Casi Joy sung this on the Voice and did a beautiful cover of BLUE.

[@troymclain9441]

LeAnn Rimes was 13 when she did this song but she's 42 now I believe

[@justkaron]

Isn't this just magic!

[@jerryadams6799]

she covered Prince: Purple Rain too. if you want to check her out in an out of genre mode.

[@colleenpatterson245]

Reminds me of Patsy Cline!!! 😊

[@terrisalser7721]

Listen to her sing My Story. Fantastic

[@Ireacttoreactions]

she was 14 years old when she made that video

[@daveparkhill5419]

FYI, the low 'word' is YOU, not HIM!

[@robertkrouse9478]

She sounds a lot like Patsy Cline who the song was written for, but she never got to record it because she died in a plane crash. I get real sad thinking about all the singers that have died to soon,especially In plane crashes.

[@loribeasley1956]

Listen to Ruby Leigh, she has an amazing sound similar to LeAnn. I love her voice singing Linda Ronstadt's Long Long Time.

[@danielosheigh4793]

Chevel Shepherd did a bang up cover of this on The Voice, check that one out if you want a brilliant voice.

[@randallshuck2976]

For a lighter/fun song from her try "Mamas Broken Heart". She has an excellent voice and has always been a favorite. Good reaction. Thanks.

[@NativeTexan-fm5dy]

Great reaction. But I think you misunderstood the twangy accent a bit. It's not "oh so lonesome for him" it's "oh so lonesome for you." What always impressed me most about Leann's recording of this is that she was only 13 years old at the time.

[@courtneyclark995]

Please react to her singing unchained melody

[@stanleymerritt2893]

You DO know that that is the way that Patsy Cline wrote, or recorded, that song.

[@stanleymerritt2893]

I believe that Willie Nelson wrote this song. He wrote a lot of Patty's songs, especially Crazy.

[@dalehammers4425]

Multi Grammy winner.... before she was even old enough to drive herself to her own shows.

[@jcfireman2215]

Let the song play then react on the replay.

[@MitchPittman-z6z]

Listen to Rightous Brothers 1965 version Unchained Melody. (ALL natural No Autotune)

[@MrRati23]

React to Annalisa. Amazing italian singer who's worth checking out. Ragazza Sola, Bellissima, Euforia, Sinceramente, Tsunami and more. All amazing songs.

[@jamesdrain460]

Andy Williams singed that same way

[@whatnone1020]

Jeez. No more coffee for you

[@geraldrobinson7019]

Does it mean anything to you that she is 14 with no training???

[@actuallyabby]

I've always found the yodeling technique foreign to me as well, all that classical and theater training, I guess. Leann is a master of it and anyone else that can use it effectively has a gift. When I play around with that break, it's not pretty, at least to my ears anyway.

[@Laura_Martin42]

Lol, Austin Brown needs to cover this!!

[@nancyholter5646]

I had that thought, too.

[@madnessarcade7447]

React to elyanna please and the day the world blows up

[@annebiebrich9155]

Lonesome for you, not him

[@allendesalme197]

That's her Texas accent - she is saying "lonesome for you", not "him"; she's from Garland, which is a suburb of Dallas, TX

[@user-oc1qo5dk4b]

She has an established Mississippi accent.

[@allendesalme197]

She is from Garland, TX, which is where she lived when she first recorded "Blue" at age 13. Sorry 'bout that. Not a Mississippi girl.@@user-oc1qo5dk4b

[@allendesalme197]

Now I see you have a point - born in Mississippi, raised in TX since she was 6 when they moved there.

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

The lyric is... "Blue..... Oh so lonesome for YOU". (not "him"). It was driving me crazy when you kept saying "him". Otherwise... I loved everything else about your reaction.

[@michaeldmcgee4499]

The mall hair lets you know that this is from the '80s!

[@Avoxus]

please react Cakra Khan - Broken Symphony (Official Music Video). he just release new album. and 1 song are composed by Alffy Rev

[@lanceb653]

She’s not singing “him”. She’s singing “you”. Maybe you should check the lyrics first.

[@wandiwandi2596]

Miss pliss riaksion original putri Ariani perfed liar 🙏🙏🥰

[@obitojaden4394]

Hello Jen, can I suggest a new artist that you can analyze - she is called Fairuz. She is the most known Arab singer and a staple to listen to every morning. I love your analysis and that is why I'm curious about how you would react and analyze her. I recommend analyzing her song -- Allamouni Henni Allamouni. Amazing rendition. Thanks and looking forward to the potential video.

[@alanFconrad]

[@SaemHoppenstedt]

Jen, please do a video on Dimash Kudaibergen. "S.O.S." is a great one. If you don't know his voice yet, you NEED to!😊

[@lawwdogg1digr]

Music was so much more enjoyable before auto tune and pitch correction.
