Rapper FIRST time REACTION to LeAnn Rimes - How Do I Live ! Let her COOK!

[@patwalker5133]

She did the original song for the movie "Con Air" with Nicholas Cage. She was only 14 years old. The powers that be did not believe that such a powerful song would do well being sung by a 14 yr. old. So, they had Trisha Yearwood release it.

[@janflewelling6277]

Correction - LeAnne did the original recording, Trisha did the Con Air movie version when the movie execs deemed Rime's rendition too young sounding - they wanted a more grown up emotional sound. That's when Trisha was tapped. Both versions were highly successful even though fans kind of divided on their own favorites. Have to say, even tho I do love LeAnne, Trisha did it better IMO.

[@MP-od1zz]

Thank you! It was driving me crazy what movie this was from, and I just could not remember!

[@rebeccacurtis6680]

Trisha Yearwood is definitely another amazing singer. I hope BP will chk some of her songs out, too. "Walk Away Joe" or "He's in Love with the Girl" might be a good start.

@@lavender_granny I can tolerate my share of ratchet reality TV shows (from American Idol to the "Real Housewives") and everything in between, but I've never seen a single episode of the Masked Singer or The Voice.

[@rkb5472]

My daughter liked that show the first the seasons or so. I KNEW it was LeAnn the first time she sang. My husband argued with me the whole time. Obviously, he was wrong, but I had to wait the entire season to prove it. She did win. She was dressed as the sun.

[@samueltabo3390]

She won the Grammy award for Best New Artist for Blue in 1996 at age 14. How do I live was used in the movie Con Air originally sung by Trish Yearwood

[@cc-hk5ih]

Another powerful voice to check out. Trisha yearwood . Yes she sang it n my favourite version is hers.

[@Kvl-2968]

That's actually incorrect, LeAnn was the original but record execs thought she sounded too young so they had Trisha do a cover and it went into Con Air

[@taramama6658]

Leann originally made the track they had Trisha do it after because they were afraid of Leann’s age being 14 thst wouldn’t be able to get the emotions of the song. Wrong she did

[@jenniferanderson5228]

Love this version! Leann wins hands down beats Trish Yearwood version of this song!!

[@samueltabo3390]

The ironic thing was that Trish Yearwood won the CMA award over Leann Rimes that year

[@christopherderoy3153]

Whaaaat WHAT!!! God she sings the shit out of this song!!!

[@michaelbarlow7232]

Leann can sing Anything….Blessed Voice

[@mickdenis6630]

Leann was 14 years-old when she recorded the song in March of 1997, she had signed (or should we say her father signed) a 3 song deal with Disney/Touchstone pictures. Diane Warren wrote the song with Leann in mind, and she recorded it; it was to be for the Movie Con Air. The movie's producer didn't like the recording he said "it sounded like she was singing to her teddy bear", he wanted her to re-record the song. Her father apparently refused. Trisha Yearwood was brought in to record a new version. Both songs were released same day in May, Rimes version took off on the pop charts, set many records ...most weeks in the top 40 (69), top 10 (32) top 5 (25), it did not make it to #1, because of the untimely death of Princess Diana and Elton John's tribute song (proceeds going to Diana's charities), which kept it out of the top spot. It is the #6 song , all-time on the Billboard top 100 songs of all time, the only song in the top 10 songs that didn't peak at #1.

[@phoenixwright784]

If the producer really said that, either he was lying or was incredibly stupid.

[@allenruss2976]

One of the most beautiful voices in music. I don't know who the hell propagated the myth she went the way of cardi b. Yeah she got older and dressed a little differently but still way more modest than most other singers. At worst she wore evening gowns to award ceremonies and the occasional bathing suit, a regular one not a thong. I wish she had but she stuck to her principles. No this is her song. You may remember the song from Con Air

[@earthgrazer5511]

One of the most beautiful voices for sure!!😊

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

LeAnn did a free show in front of Independence Hall for the 4th of July celebrations in Philly. It was a real treat to leave my store, literally walk across the street, and listen to that incredible voice.

[@busher69]

WOW, what a memory.

[@melissagrover9727]

Leann Sang this first but Trisha Yearwood sang it for the movie “Con Air.” Ms.Leann also sang the theme song for the movie “Coyote Ugly.” “Can fight the Moonlight”

[@marinawalton4315]

I love Coyote Ugly and i love the song 🎉

[@annaleabrown4588]

[@desertflower9858]

She is an astounding singer.

[@selinahann5595]

She did a tribute to Patsy Clone at the ACA awards in 2013 that is amazing!

[@reneeparker7475]

The first time I heard this voice was in 1996, when she was only 13 years old. Her voice is a gift. Her voice reminds me of Patsy Cline's.

[@patriotoftruth]

Still the best female voice in country music. There are other powerhouse singers but none of them have the special cry in their voice that LeAnn has. She is truly special

[@JDanBarry]

Sometimes i forget just how amazing her voice is. She can sing a lot of covers as well as the original 😮😂

[@heatherwhyte-sr8em]

If you want to hear her at her absolute best, listen to "Amazing Grace" she sings it Acapella

[@nicholasferrara7299]

She was only 15 during this video! She’s a beautiful woman now and still has that incredible voice! A genuine phenom! Your comments were great as usual!

She just performed in our town two nights ago. Still as good as ever!

[@Shiby23]

a golden child for lack of a better term. especially before the internet came out and anyone could be found. i think she had the right place right time thing going on for her.

[@mike650r]

For another female with a great voice and a very emotional subject, please react to "Concrete Angels by Martina McBride". Pay attention to what's going on in the video. Thanks BP.

[@J.B.-in7cx]

Her voice is effortlessly powerful, elequent and expansive, a beautiful instrument.

[@amyweems5248]

She is so underrated! Such a powerful voice. Wait until BP finds out about Carrie Underwood. As BP says that girl can cook, or how my friends say “she blows”.

[@PurpleIris034]

She grew up. Lee Ann was sadly involved in a relationship that involved a married man, it got ugly in the media for her, but all these years later they are still together.

[@kevincarpenter2525]

The treatment is indicative of the sexism and misogyny in the Country Music Industry. Blake Shelton has cheated while married and divorced and married two of his mistresses...Miranda Lambert & Gwen Stefanie with little to no backlash. Jason Aldean cheated on his wife and later married his mistress. Garth Brooks admitted at least one affair before Trisha when he was married to his first wife. I find his & Trisha's timing suspect also. George Jones had many affairs while married to multiple wives including Tammy Wynette who was his mistress and later his wife whom he he cheated on. In fact George and Tammy only escaped bigomy charges by retroactively have her previous marriage annualed. So for men it's adds to the persona...but for women they are slut shamed.

[@TucBroder]

Actor Eddie Ciprian. LeAnn said that she regretted how it all started, but she was not sorry for how it turned out.

[@rjams8953]

This song was one of the only songs to have two versions on the Billboard chats at the same time. Both LeAnn and Trisha Yearwood recorded and released a version of How Do I Live around the same time. Trisha's version was used for the Con Air movie soundtrack. The song also created waves for its difficulty to sing. The high note in the chorus is one that very few singers can hit.

[@julieford8788]

You gotta watch her sing Carol of the Bells. Outstanding performance

Most people think Tricia Yearwood's version of How Do I Live came first when in reality, Rimes recorded her version first and both were released on the exact same day. Yearwood claims she never heard Rimes version before she recorded hers.

[@Sherbert89]

The reason there is a country twang to this song is that LeAnn used to sing sounding just like Patsy Cline. Her father had control of what she did - there was a whole long very public court battle with her trying to break the contract, which she signed as a young child. She's been in several movies. One you may like is Coyote Ugly. She has a video from that time.

[@bar5radass]

I don’t think she visually became more controversial, it was her personal life. Having an affair with a married man with a new baby, shortly after she herself was married, and then leaving her husband…it was all shocking at the time, given her image.

[@jawo8754]

This was long before that. She recorded this at age 17.
