I like how she came in and didn’t automatically throw out who her grandmother was…not until they asked.

[@wafflewafflegod]

You’re pretty naive, eh?

[@chrissmith6862]

​@SHarrell530 you realize that those auditions arent live and they have time to edit and add stuff..

[@wafflewafflegod]

You realize that they specifically recruit many (if not most) of the people they show in front of the judges, right? Those people don't have to go through the normal process and skip straight to the judge. This really isn't the show for the true average joe anymore. It's super manufactured. @@chrissmith6862

[@lacthocia]

​@@chrissmith6862The person is not talking about THIS audition only, they're speaking facts in general. To be selected for auditions you gotta submit your whole identity info, answer forms with questions about your personal and professional life, active career, contacts, interests and intentions (by being on the show). This audition in front of the judges to go live is not the first one also, they went through tape/video submissions first, email/forms submissions and producers first listen/auditions/interview selections before! Summarizing it all, *"the show is scripted and they knew it waaay before!".* They just throw the news carefully for viewers to sympathize more and don't pull the "nepobaby privilege" card at her. There, a better explanation for you.

[@Racingirl911]

Well said!!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@chrisreynolds6152]

She's a doll. So innocent. I hope the world doesnt change her.

[@jcgjcg3844]

They tell her to shout who she is, but she doesn't have to. Loretta lynn never shouted, but the whole world knows who she is. And it's that politeness and personality she passed down to her granddaughter she doesn't need to change she just needs to embrace her gift!

[@arklytte]

The only shouting Mrs Loretta ever needed to do, she did with her music. I met her once when I was a kid. She was the guest judge at the California state fair, and I was in a 4H competition. She was the nicest, kindest woman. She was like everyone's grandma, and she instantly put you at ease. God Bless Emmy. I hope she makes it all the way, and gets some of her own 'big shoes' to fill.

[@ForeverDegenerate]

@jcgjcg Shouting has nothing to do with it. It's about confidence in herself and who she is. It's about not thinking she has to live up to her grandmother's legacy and to have the confidence and strength to forge her own legacy. They weren't asking her to change anything. They were challenging her to embrace who she is and her own identity rather than to be trying to chase something and someone that she will never be and should never become. She isn't Loretta Lynn. She is Emmy Russell. It's also about the fact that both the Music Industry and the listeners of said music have both changed so much since Loretta Lynn broke into the Industry. Loretta Lynn didn't have to shout, but that doesn't mean Emmy Russell doesn't have to shout. The Industry now is much more ruthless and much less caring than back then. If you're not confident in who you are and what you are, the Industry will chew you up and spit you out, molding you into something completely unrecognizable, existing only to exploit your talent to make them money. And they WILL exploit the fact that she's Loretta Lynn's Granddaughter to do it. These judges know this better than anybody else, especially Lionel Richie who has seen the Multi-Generational Evolution of the Music Industry. And the listeners. In the Age of The Internet, you know damn well that comparisons will be made between Emmy and Loretta. You know damn well the question will always linger if she can "live up to the legacy." In short, in the Age of The Internet, The Shadow of Loretta Lynn will be thrust upon her whether she wants it to or not. These judges aren't telling her to shout to change who she is. They are showing her that she doesn't need to be afraid nor does she need to feel like she has to fill Loretta Lynn's shoes. They are trying to build Emmy up so that the inevitable thrust of Loretta Lynn's Shadow by both the Music Industry and the Music Listeners can't and won't ever change her. THAT is why they are insisting she asserts who she is. What they are doing ISN'T trying to change her, but rather prepare her for what is to come and to prevent everyone ELSE from forcing her to change by reinforcing who she already IS and getting her to realize that she doesn't need to try to live up to her Grandmother her Mother or her Aunt because she will already do that in spades by believing in herself, owning her own identity, and just by being Emmy.

[@jcgjcg3844]

@ForeverDegenerate I am not going to get into a big debate but the only way she can build confidence is being herself and excepting that. Changing for Hollywood and Big record labels is why so many people burn out and overdose or become perpetual users

[@ForeverDegenerate]

@@jcgjcg3844 Which, if you actually read what I wrote, is EXACTLY what the judges were advocating for is EXACTLY the reason they wanted her to declare who she was. To avoid, exactly, the situation you just described.

[@OwnerofHorses]

You don't seem to understand why they said to shout her name. They did it because she is her own person. Did you not here what Emmy said when she came out and talked? Listen again.

[@tammybritton4623]

Loretta is looking down on Emmy with pure pride and joy.

[@romandaigle455]

The Bible actually says the dead lie in rest, the dead know nothing. The dead get resurrected at the second coming of Jesus Christ.

[@RA82828]

@@romandaigle455Oh knock it off, bro, omg

[@jonesyokc]

How can you not love her? She is so sweet, humble, and gifted. Her grandma would be so proud of her. I think we all are. I wish her all the success in the world.

[@dawnlaubach4970]

Wow she looks like her. She’s also humble like her and probably every female relative before her. May she find her own path to greatness

[@lisanoonan2947]

When she smiles, she looks just like her grandmother.

[@iamnotgoldenhar8645]

Yes..her cousin Tayla Lynn is the spitting image of Ms. Lynn and her twin daughters Peggy and Patsy. Tayla is in picture with me

[@marydenton5475]

Def. Got Ms. Loretta's eyes

[@iamnotgoldenhar8645]

@marydenton5475 all of her grandchildren have those eyes. I think her mom and her aunt look like my friend tayla. You can see the resemblance. With Emmy, she is still young but I think she favors her dad more. She Def wears her heart on her sleeve and writes from personal experience and that is the legacy that Ms. Lynn wanted to pass on to her children and grandchildren. I mean this woman and her husband did not know anything about the music business and look what she has created for her family and fans/friends...they made it up as they went a long with it and not once did she nor her husband change...well maybe the drinking part slowed down from her hubby. You could tell where she stood. If you tell her no, she went ahead and it. Lol..Tayla is the same way. Gosh...I'm sorry I just rambling

[@doubles7533]

She was so sweet and humble. Her grandma isnt just a country singer. She is THE country singer.

[@EGracie86]

What a stunning voice and humility. Look forward to continuing to see her growth on the show.

[@joddaley6510]

She has a beautiful voice. My wife and I were staying at the ranch the day she passed on. That was a big shot to the heart I tell ya

[@iamnotgoldenhar8645]

Oh I just got the chills when I read this. Goodness.

[@martiseelye6443]

EMMY passed!??

[@iamnotgoldenhar8645]

@martiseelye6443 no not at all. It was Ms. Lynn that passed.

[@iamnotgoldenhar8645]

@joddaley6510 I was in shock when she passed away. I never pictured that in my mind. She was a special lady. The person in the pic with me as my profile here on youtube is of Tayla Lynn. Another one of Ms. Lynn's grandchildren. She and Mr. Twitty's grandson has a duo called Twitty & Lynn. They go on tour all over the country to perform their hits and to tell their stories. Ms. Lynn really instilled in them how important the fans are. I am blessed that I can call Tay my friend. I did not know who she was when I first followed her. I found her when her mom (Tay's mom) passed away. I did not put two and two together for like 6 months.

[@debrakiser1976]

​@@martiseelye6443no Loretta Lynn passed

[@gerriebell2128]

The judges saw what she could do and understood what she needs to do to truly live up to her potential. I love how they gave words of encouragement.

[@jillgott6567]

Humble, talented she does not want to come in on her grandmother's coattails - this is a real star

[@JohnHF1957]

The talent is there, she is genuine, humble and has obviously been raised in a family with fine values. Once the confidence kicks in from positive experiences, Emmy will be able to soar.

[@arielslack7015]

I just hope Hollywood doesn’t ruin her like they ruin everybody else Taylor Swift, the singer country music a minute ago now look, she’s a pop singer

[@sandratroyer2886]

This girl is a great songwriter with a great voice. She wrote a song called “Memaw’s Guitar” that is amazing!💙💙💙

[@MiscreantRose]

YAAAASSSSSSS! Love that song that was featured in a LL documentary 10 years back. Sent shivers down my spine. I hope she gets to record it someday.

[@BarbaraC02]

She is adorable. I think she’ll grow tremendously under your care.

[@aprilwycherley]

My mother had a blowout when I was about 10 or 11 when it was over 100 degrees outside, and her spare was bad. Loretta Lynn stopped and helped us and a couple of the men on her bus paid to replace the tire, because my mother didn’t have much money with her at that time. Loretta kept us on her bus in the air conditioning while they were taking care of my mother’s van. Tbh, idk how long we would’ve been out in the heat if they didn’t stop. We may have been out there for a few hours in the heat, waiting for my dad to arrive, once we were able to get to a payphone to call him to get to us. I remember Loretta being so sweet and wanting to make sure that my younger brothers and I were ok, since we were just kids, but she also insisted that my mom have something to drink, since we had been out in the heat for a little while.

[@brennanapostolo7870]

WOW!! This just hits you right in the chest! Wishing this young lady all of the that this life has to offer!!🙂

[@charleybetts1053]

So humble! Beautiful audition!

[@PurpleCinnamon-Land-Of-Misfits]

The fact that she just casually said her grandma was The Loretta Lynn like it was no big deal got me 😳😳

[@kycone]

She’s young. Even if she’s aware that her grandmother is known, she probably has no real understanding of the impact worldwide. She’s just a grandma to her.

[@CountryBuff08]

The very best concert I ever attended was Loretta Lynn. My grandmother and I went to see her. She was so tickled to see Loretta in concert. It's a memory I will carry for the rest of my life.

[@Oceans11.11]

Oof that made me cry. My daughter had an ED and has recovered but it’s always a bit of a shadow to anyone who’s ever experienced it. I felt that song. She’s a sweet, genuine young woman with a beautiful voice.

[@americangal9292]

Loretta Lynn was one of the most beautiful women in the world. I hope her and Dew are resting peacefully in Heaven. Patsy looks a lot like her mama.

[@alisonwentland3765]

OMG, she made me cry. So much beautiful emotion in her song. I sing and am very critical. She broke through for me. You go, Emmy! ❤

[@rexoates4484]

I was coming down the stairs from the library on my base in Germany, when Loretta Lynn was coming in the door to the rec center on the bottom floor. I couldn’t get off the stairs for the crowd and she walked right by me so close I could have run my fingers through her hair. She was a living legend. It’s great to see the talent continues in the bloodline.

[@ninakaiser2930]

This song packed a punch. After the last line I was sitting there stunned. It really hit home. She has such a gift! Please continue to sing, just like you are. You will be doing great, you got this!

[@lilCindi1010]

Good voice! She sure made her grandma proud. ❤ wish Loretta was still here but she has the best view from heaven.

[@tiabeaniesemotionalsupportdmon]

Omg… those lyrics hit me right in the FEELS!!😭😭

[@user-uc5fe8hx4e]

Loretta Lynn was my first country singer I ever fell in love with,I was 7yrs old and was given her album from someone that had passed away,I listened to that album everyday and that’s when I became a country bumpkin in the beach cities,My mom would ask where did you come from? Lol She didn’t ever listen to country music and I just loved it my whole life,It’s funny because I was brought up on rock and roll all my friends and family,I did love all that as well but country music is my heart music.I sure wish I could sing lol I do in my car or in the shower or at concerts!!❤

[@jamesboston7457]

This young woman deserves this so much she’s got big shoes to fill but she’s more into doing her own thing

[@iamnotgoldenhar8645]

Yes, Emmy has her own style while Tayla Lynn and Tre Twitty (Conway Twitty's grandson) goes on tours and sing their songs and tell stories. Super special. They don't try to be like them and Ms. Lynn let them sing at the ranch for the 4th of July. I think she even helped pick out the songs. If you like this check out "Blue in My Eyes" such a wonderful song that Tayla wrote for Ms. Lynn but it also became a tribute to her mom, who passed away suddenly. Gosh I can go on and on. Sorry.

[@AntiLeftist]

Everything about her is beautiful and so is her song ❤
