If John Denver was still here in the United States he would welcome you with great arms. I've been to three of his concerts, for a young female vocalist you sound very good Sophia. Praying for peace in your country supporting you all 100%

[@ltucker9890]

Sofia, I don't know if you'll ever see this but I got here via your Ukraine Got Talent audition where you were yodeling which was fantastic. I've enjoyed your videos but this is by far my favorite. I was born in West Virginia only 20 minutes from the New River Bridge featured at the beginning of your video and was standing on it the day it was dedicated on October 22nd, 1977. You sang this song beautifully and it brought tears to my eyes. You know, John Denver sang Country Roads at the opening of the new West Virginia University stadium in 1980. Wouldn't it be fantastic if you could come to Morgantown, WV, someday to sing your cover at a university football game in front of 63,000 people? You're a beautiful young lady with a beautiful soul. I wish you much success!

[@Newday2dayallday]

Do it Sophia!

[@isaiahkobe3581]

me too

[@terrydavis2184]

Love hearing yodeling. Sofia you are amazing and a God given talent. The best for your future.

何と美しい景色なのでしょう。その映像をバックに美しい歌声のソフィアさんが歌ってくれている。感動しました。by kondo from Japan in Nagoya ctiy

[@ovisteaua9191]

Dude she's Ukrainian, she have no "tie" with your culture only singing s song.

[@Bart91127]

Sofia has become one of the best divas of this time,she has all the attributes..beautiful, perfect-pitched voice with natural vibrato and extended range..great stage presence..and to top it all off...no one can beat her when it comes to yodeling...Keep it up girl.! Greetings from Havana.

[@ΝΑΠΟΛΕΩΝΖΕΡΒΑΣ-ι9μ]

John Denver smiles upon and gives this song a big thumbs up from heaven

[@xxxtexanpa]

The best I've ever heard. Thanks Sofia! I lived in West Virginia for five years and this brings back memories. A beautiful girl singing a beautiful song.

[@tsisqua]

West Virginia is where I grew up. I live in Ohio now, but West Virginia is just on the other side of the river. I've never really left her. Thank you, Sofia. Please stay safe.

[@brettleisy356]

THIS.... I absolutely love how even those she has a very deep accent from her country she still pronounces the words correctly and stresses or relaxes the parts of the words properly when doing an American originated song. a LOT of talented singers out there should take note on this skill. I was actually worried about it when I clicked. I'm not even a country/western fan but this was brilliantly done.

[@gwanpaw]

This girl with her special talent sings beautifully, but when John Denver sang that song with his special talent, I visualized mountains, streams, hunting dogs chasing rabbits and squirrels, biscuits and gravy and all things country. John had soul and this girl has talent.

[@calmspirits1167]

I'm actually from America, in Illinois. However I have visited West Virginia and I have to admit. West Virginia is one of the most beautiful places we have here. If you haven't visited yet, definitely come out when you get the chance

[@haroldgillette7157]

This young lady is fantastic. I was blown away by Sofia's yodeling talent ,but this rendition is great aswell.

[@paulwoolley4957]

Brilliant version of country roads👍👏👏👏👏❤️ love this young lady🇬🇧

[@bobbrown5529]

and she can Yodel, , This girl has a voice of GOLD . Every song I have listened to has been Awesome . stay safe ..aussie bob ..

[@leocarlos4483]

Very rare, if not impossible, to come across a Ukrainian speaking English like a native English speaker, and singing like one too. Well done. You have the right tools -- incredibly fantastic vocals + correct English pronunciation AND accent -- to go far in the international music market where the right songs + the right way of singing them in English are vital ingredients for major success. This is strictly my own views as a composer. Best wishes. Stay true to the path you're on and direction you're heading in and you can't go wrong.

[@brucescarberry9347]

I live in West Virginia and that song never gets old, thank you for singing it, you did an awesome job. And thank you for your kind words.

[@charlesb.6906]

Beautiful, done like an Angel your Voice is out of this world👍 West Virginia it is very Beautiful place! Thank you for singing "Country roads" spectacular voice!!,,

[@buskbeats]

Love this has to be the best Cover of the song I have heard :)

[@ZhovtoBlakytniy]

I'm from USA living in Ukraine, I've been to WV so many times. I love this song, and think you knocked it out of the ballpark! You sing like a country star and would fit in on the Grand Ole Opry! Голос гарний 💕

[@ltucker9890]

This brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. If an artist can do that, then you're truly an artist. An artist that can move people, that's what it's all about. God bless Ukraine. Putin, just keep your damn hands off. People just want to live. Screw your damn "sphere of influence." Nobody is threatening you. Least of all, Ukrainians.

[@lukemorrison2818]

Excellent. Talented and Intelligent!!! Yeah for Sofia Shkidchenko! Great Job!

Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads All my memories gather 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin' That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads Take me home, (down) country roads Take me home, (down) country roads

[@josephbennett3482]

Wow Sofia you made this song sound absolutely amazing , every single time i hear you sing i always forget that you are from the Ukraine and not from here in the United States. I live not too far away from West Virginia so it's very cool to hear you sing a song about one of our states.

Thanks for this one Sofia. I lived in West Virginia for 5 years and my children were raised there for that time and they still love it.

[@sobernow11]

Sofia, you are a true treasure in what true treasures are wrapped up in. John Denver is also a true treasure that God shared with us. Hearing this for the first time I am not able to stop crying. The only thing I'm struggling with at this moment is how did we get here?????

[@bradenleonard6286]

I went golfing in west Virginia last weekend... it was Aight... but If you want mountains go to Wyoming. Anyway, nice job Sofia. You're smile makes my day brighter every time.

I loved that so very much Sofia and you sang it so beautifully and it brought back memories of back in those days even though I haven't ever been in West Virginia and I live in America in Illinois. You sang it so beautifully I watched it twice and whistled along with you. I am not a good singer so whistle to the music and your voice. You are one of my favorites in here and you are a beautiful girl. I love you as a grandpa.

I adore it as much as I love your singing and yodeling. You're very talented and gifted with a God given voice. This John Denver song is one of my most favorites songs, and I enjoy your rendition of it just as much, if not more so. I kindly thank you for all your wonderful vocalizations of songs and yodels.

[@alanbregar]

Sofia, I woke up today with song in my head and have been whistling it ever since. You are a very good singer and I watch you every night before I go to bed. You are a beautiful girl also.

[@sobernow11]
