SURPRISE! Shy Singer Reveals She Has A FAMOUS Grandmother

[@notaclu6911]

What an absolute sweetheart! I hope she goes far in her own shoes.

[@robmckrobmck5567]

Lionel gotta love this

[@breakingewes1316]

What a sweet girl. Famous Grandma or no famous Grandma, the song she wrote was beautiful and I hope she has huge times ahead of her.

[@kalyana9705]

The judges's reaction when she told them who her grandma was was so funny. She is a nice singer too.

[@MsThebeMoon]

She is too sweet. Her song put tears in my eyes as I too had an eating disorder.

[@music-ru6bk]

this is what a modest person with no ego looks like. she doesnt brag about her famous grandmother. even when she mentioned her grandma she just said she was a country singer and not a “famous” country singer. she wasnt even going to say her grandma’s name until they asked ❤

[@ryanhall2795]

But she invited a video crew to her grandmother's ranch... 😂

[@RehabRaccoon69]

@@ryanhall2795 Right, exactly. Very crafty way to play her cards, lmao.

[@Zanoladab]

​@@ryanhall2795 it's really funny how easily people fall into these lol

[@k3ndo751]

​@@ryanhall2795 This is all staged af. I bet she's not that shy, when there are videos of her singing on KZbin to a bigger crowd. Just search for "Emmy Russell & Lukas Nelson Sing "Lay Me Down" | A Celebration of the Life and Music of Loretta Lynn" uploaded ~a year ago. There are more videos. She stood on stage when she was 11 and 16 (that's what you can easily find on KZbin). But yeah. That's always for entertainment purposes, but also always feels like being "lied" to.

[@k3ndo751]

And there are of course a lot more such examples on those casting shows. Edit: But she has a beautiful voice though.

[@checreates]

I’m so glad she wrote this song, it’s so necessary for women (and men) everywhere.

[@GameFreak4Ever]

My teens years was pretty tough. This song definitely struck a cord for me.

[@ettiennemalan8487]

Fell in love with her the moment she spoke. What a beautiful and Humble person

[@warecal]

She's got the look , the smile, and the voice. Good luck Emmy Rose. I'll be seeing you in concerts around Nashville soon enough.

[@Justme-jh6uu]

Definitely not the voice. Her voice is very below average.

[@LilPeachBooty]

@@Justme-jh6uuhow could you say that voice is below average? musicians like taylor swift olivia rodrigues and sabrina carpenter are basic to me. this girl's voice actually sends chills through me. so how is that below average compared to these popular pop artists who don't fill me with any joy

[@samuelkernstine]

@@Justme-jh6uu definitely not below average. An average person does not have a good singing voice. Hers is the best but its really good.

[@jmar6015]

She’s so humble for the way she mentioned her grabdm was a legendary country singer

[@vaseline69]

"my grandma is a country singer" understatement of the year, lol

[@edstryker7745]

Exactly!!! Hahaha

[@btsr2553]

Agree and disagree. Don't forget that she has to do all this on her own, without her great grandmother. Emmy was certainly born with something. In any case, I'm already a bit of a fan of this little girl from Nashville Tennessee.

[@vaseline69]

@@btsr2553 I think you misunderstood my comment, it was it about Emmy, it was that calling Loretta Lynne "a country singer" is an understatement, she's one of the queens of country. it would be like saying "oh my mums an actress" if you were Liza Minnelli, Blake Shelton is a country singer, Loretta Lynne is a Legend

[@btsr2553]

@@vaseline69 Thank you for the clarification. I think I really misunderstood, please excuse me. I understand the understatement now. I grew up here in Bavaria side by side with the GIs formerly stationed here. AFN was my gate as a young blonde boy to the world. My mother would have loved listening to country music all day if AFN had that on their program. I also know Loretta. I can see my mother humming along to Loretta's and all the other artists' songs while she did the housework. There must still be a compact cassette somewhere ...

[@Azam.Arshad]

as in her interview, for anyone,she was a legend,but to emmy,just a grandma...

[@devikaratnasiri2358]

Lovely judges. Very encouraging to newcomers. The girl is really sweet and she has great potential

[@acevaper]

When she said Loretta Lynn, I was like WHAT!!! And now I'm in tears ... go Emmy

[@roxannelovesvenussmokecity]

😢😢😢❤❤❤ cannot stop crying. She's amazing. How many of us are this amazing and don't realize it either?...

[@Rose-zn5ql]

That sa beautiful thing to say. Bless you x

[@roxannelovesvenussmokecity]

@@Rose-zn5ql Thank you. Bless you

[@checreates]

What a sweet girl. I’m rooting for her.

[@sianchild]

What a sweet young lady. I hope she builds her confidence because she's got so much to offer.

[@douknodawae7805]

She brought tears to my eyes

[@larry3064]

I loved her grandmothers music and I loved this song. Great job younger lady.

[@lornatw]

I can imagine her songs on the radio so much potential and a fantastic song writer, her voice has the emotion that gets you singing to peoples songs. I hope she owns it ❤

[@whatshappening3327]

She has the purest heart. Protect her at all costs. She doesn't need to change. It would be boring if every recording artist was a larger than life extrovert.

[@ekaterini2957]

Made me cry. Emmie, you need to write for the world, sing for the world, share with the world. Your parents and your grandma are so proud of you right now. Love from Houston...

[@anyabar12]

My Dad was overseas in the service my grandfather was sick. My dad didn't have the ability to call home. Loretta Lynn came to the base on tour. My dad was able to talk to her and said his dad wasn't doing well and wished he could get a message through to him. Loretta Lynn told him not to worry. My dad shrugged it off believing it to be a pr thing. Nope Loretta Lynn personally called my grandfather and wished him well told him that my dad was well and worried about him.

[@gervang6822]

Did your grandpa die?

[@jhongyjhongzilla8784]

Really?? A very kind family.. so amazed!!

[@skiptrace1888]

Wow! I am a musician from TN. I have visited and worked in 22 different countries around the world, and you brought me to tears by B E I N G who you really are! Don't deviate from your real self! You are beautiful and awesome! Love yourself like the rest of us do!!!!! ❤😊❤🎉😊❤🎉😊

[@williamstreet4304]

OMG. It must be so hard to see Grandma's path and wonder if you are good enough. My youngest daughter struggled in the shadow of her sister. I told her not to worry about meeting the goals. I worried about her sister burning out before she was 21. The younger daughter has found her way and is successful. Her sister is 42, president and CEO of a company, received the highest lifetime award from her graduate school. And perches precariously on the brink of a breakdown. It's hard to sit in the shadow of greatness. But greatness can take a tremendous toll. Be who you really are. That from a dad and grandpa who cares so much for my daughters and grandchildren. Find your own way.

[@Dc-jz9rf]

Eu sou um brasileiro aleatório e só queria dizer q não me emocionei. Obrigado.

[@n8ryder]

That was so wholesome. Definitely a baby mouse. The world will love her.

[@music-ru6bk]

wow that was incredible! could really imagine that on the radio! she deserved a platinum ticket

[@wizardglick7762]

She is lovely! I hope she wins.

[@sp26890]

The song just hit home and she is beautiful ❤

[@karenmcclure4782]

Just love love her Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice who is already an Artist writing her own songs and sings some of her Grandma songs she is the package Wishing her the best of luck

[@jeffstevens4262]

Just seen this. I really wanted to hug her and give her the same message the three judges gave her at the end. Sending all my love and best wishes to Emmy from over here in the UK. I'm sure that's not going to be last we all see of her...! ❤❤❤

[@jsusna1972]

Gotta admit, I teared up when she started crying. I was mesmerized by how beautiful Katy Perry is. If she doesn't have the most beautiful eyes in the world, she's in the top 2. Suddenly Emmy cries and I lose it. Dang, I'm getting soft in my old age. Good luck, Emmy.

[@jeffreyscholte4737]

I love how she sings, her voice is beautiful!

[@vernonwood1311]

She has her grandmother's smile. She also has her own talent.

[@goodfoodladies]

she had my vote after only a few notes. beautiful woman and beautiful voice

[@marilynjackson3267]

I liked the song. I agree she's a talented song writer. I also lived the advice they gave her truthful, encouraging and supportive!

[@petebraven1522]

Stepping out of the shadow of grandma into her very own spotlight. 💖

[@ronrice2249]

Loretta Lynn is my favorite female singer in the whole world, and Emmy, you can be right up there with her. You have what it takes. Good luck!

[@RaymondGlenn-cc2rs]

A truly beautiful young woman

[@FaberGT86]

She reminds me of a girl from the late 80s. She seems so out of date, in a good way. I hope she has the success she deserves.

[@aaron-dd5zr]

She did so well through the competition. It was cool to see her keep on improving. You got your own style. So happy for you girl. You gotca bunch of extra Dad's out of this to.

[@schwabpm]

She just made it into the TOP 5, and totally deserves to be there!!! It is obvious that the judges' faith in her has been rewarded. Best luck in the finals Emmy!!!

[@gemfaceter]

Grandma would be so proud.

[@Plushybear09]

Wow what a song! Just wow. What a lady. I hope she does really well

[@roseberrygamingid]

old money girl looks so humble, lovely full of joy, classy. totally different from most kinda rich girl today hope the best for you girl

[@jamesdooling4139]

❤😢 You keep on singing, Lady! And... writing. Those of us who've experienced (and still sometimes do) eating disorders need about 20 more verses to this song.❤

[@jamesaustin5486]

She's going to become a huge star And Emmy you're a lovely young woman Best Wishes

[@woof999]

She’s soooooo talented!!! Love her!!

[@rachelfarekas2096]

She needs a show like the Voice... has so much potential. A good coach/mentor would help her so much

[@jacqueykoo517]

Tears of joy❤

[@amrazing33]

She has potential with the timbre of her voice alone, let alone her character. But the high notes are currently her villain. It's very workable. Can't wait to see more from her

[@augustbradshaw3563]

There are no shadows if you let your light shine:)

[@Wickerrman]

Great voice and a great songwriter too going on this song, I hope she keeps following her own style and grows into herself.

[@scottschneider5866]

This song is really moving 🥲

[@elyneda]

Brought me near tears 😢 she’s amazing

[@saisaivipa]

I feel her. I don’t sing but I work in the same industry as my very successful Mum. Growing up with that shadow looming is rough. All the best to you!

[@holdmyown32]

Pretty voice. I love your grandma. Loretta Lynn is awesome and you have a great voice. Your voice is natural.

[@michaelmendoza401]

She sounds good she for sure has what her grandma had

[@amberflokstra88]

At the end of the video you can see she just realized she’s no longer “Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter.” She’s now Emmy Russel, singer-songwriter who happens to also be the granddaughter.

[@ephrem3966]

the one to watch, especially, when she becomes more confident.

[@naxobi1011]

Love the fact that her grandma is legendary singer anf yet she cried just for being selected. If being down to earth was a person, then it's her

[@willorem5131]

I’m sure Granny is going to support her 1000 % I hope she’s succeeds.

[@DarthVadr]

She's not a country singer, she's THE country singer

[@GibsonMusamba]

Keep it up for your tarent God bless you

[@HScarlet]

That. Song. Is. AWESOME. I don't even know who her grandmother is, but I'm more interested in her. 😃

Yes it is the Good song God bless you

She kind of reminds me of a Janet Devlin from years ago when she audition on X Factor UK. It's because of the journey to find her confidence.

I get James Blunt vibes from her presentation. Which is always a good thing.

[@Question467]

Brilliant 💁🇬🇧

[@BayleyJo]

I love that loretta named her daughter Patsy ❤ RIP Patsy Cline

[@JEREMY99218]

Beautiful and talented, humble and kind. She has a bright future. Thankfully her family is very humble and down-to-earth, hopefully, future fame and doesn't ruin her like other young celebrity women. Both her parents, aunts and uncles are very talented as well. Her mom, Patsy Lynn Russell and Patsy's twin sister Peggy are the youngest daughters of Loretta Lynn. Patsy Lynn is named after Loretta's friend, the famous country singer, Patsy Cline. Patsy and her twin sister Peggy formed a country duo called "The Lynns." They recorded one album for Reprise Records, which charted two singles on Hot Country Songs Chart. The Lynns received CMA Award nominations for Vocal Duo of the Year in 1998 and 1999. They received an ACM Award nomination for Top New Vocal Group or Duo.
