Somewhere Over the Rainbow (feat. Lockeland Strings)

[@meldenphire]

I closed my eyes and I was five years-old and sitting on the floor in front of the television. Judy Garland would be impressed. Your talent, it's obvious, has no limits. It's been a privilege watching it grow.

[@johnsader8811]

Hi Christina, I coul'nt have said it better! You not only get a thumbs up, but a gold star as well!

Everything from this young lady is the antidote to so much of what's just not right these days. Brutish, crude and crass...here's elegant, understated and graceful.

[@waltershumer4211]

Absolutely perfectly said!

[@mitoys3628]

I am old as dirt , but this song , the way you sing it, takes me back to when i was 12 years old and in love with Judy Garland , just like every other 12 year old boy of that era.

[@americanparser]

Miss Young, your voice is so classically beautiful that sometimes, it just hurts. If I hadn't spent 10 years in Nashville myself, I wouldn't understand why you don't have a record deal. I'm not sure that you would want one. But in the wasteland of the pop music of today, your talent deserves a much wider audience. The world will be a better place when it finds you.

[@gerryleb8575]

Some day, and it will happen if I am lucky, I am going to walk into a small club and hear her. I think she'll end up doing gigs in NYC, Paris, etc. At least I hope so.

When the voice transcends the beauty of instruments that we have been listening to for hundreds of years, you know you're listening to something incredible. How lucky we are to be alive in a time that we get to experience her voice.

"Hmmm, what color shoes should I wear? Oh, ruby red of course!" Allison killed it, and so did the Lockeland Strings and whoever did the arrangement.

Wow ! A redheaded Judy Garland. You gave me chills just like she does when singing that song. BEAUTIFUL.

I've heard this song many times as a kid. I don't remember this song making me cry when I was a kid, but as an adult I have trouble not tearing up at the line "birds fly over the rainbow. Why then oh why can't I?"

[@FleshGolem420]

Oh, for sure, it's a song that changes with your age and circumstances. All part of the magic.

[@wb1985]

It ALWAYS got to me as a kid. Still does. It’s song of longing for things you can’t imagine, but you KNOW are out there. It’s one of the greatest songs of the 20th century, in my opinion.

[@happygimp5167]

Mrs. Young. The second you opened your mouth and began to sing, Judy Garland just sat up and shed a tear listening to this version of this song. This was so wonderful to listen to! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! God bless you! Cheers!!

[@williambutler2477]

A long time ago when my kids were little, there was a theater in my town. It was an old theater that they fixed up to show old movies from the 30' 40's and 50's. Velvet covered seats and a curtain that drew back when the movie started. They had a huge old popcorn machine at the back of the theater. You could smell the fresh popcorn. They ran Wizard of OZ and I took my kids. They closed that theater a few years ago. A relic of the modern age. I hadn't thought about that in years. Thanks for reminding me. That was a beautiful performance.

[@billrobinson9704]

I’m a great fan of her singing while self accompanied, but this video shows much maturity and greater sophistication in both her voice and interpretive artistry. And that’s not simply because of the string quartet, although they add a lot. The quality of her voice and the way she interprets this classic transports me to another age.

[@Podcastage]

This is a perfect performance. Well done Allison.

[@mischievousone9999]

It’s one thing to be be able to hit the notes. But to absolutely nail the delivery and to perfectly emote the feeling behind every lyric as it comes is what separates wheat from chafe. It’s the difference between an act of casual labor and work of art. I came back looking for this cover a year after my first viewing because it stuck with me how masterful this performance was.

[@novaeffect6714]

I don’t think it’s bad when someone is a “pale” comparison to her. I think this song is one of the few where you should leave it alone. I love the way Alison sung this song, but I truly believe that this song is one of the few where no “new” takes should be made
