  • wonderful job there A.J..from cb in stephenville

  • Great Job! You have a great voice, I like seeing young people keeping the old classics alive.

  • you do this song justice, I love all your songs

  • I usually don't watch videos people post of themselves covering other people's songs. At best, it's out of pure snobbery (snobbishness?). More likely, it's because of my own utter lack of talent. However, you have changed my attitude. You version of that song is beautiful. When you are rich and famous, I hope you'll start a story with, "One time I read a YouTube posting from some no talent snob calling himself S0uthb0und..."

  • Great Job,......what keys are you playing in???

    Great job...heavy classic...you did it justice.

    Randy

  • Awesome to see a pretty young lady with such a great voice sing such a great song. So many young people spend so much time trying to imitate the latest pop craze... I am glad to hear what a great job you did on it. Bonnie Owens would be proud. I met her once in the 80's while she was touring with Merle. She co-wrote this song with him, and always sang backup vocals on the stage next to him. Keep singing. You are Great!

  • Nice job!

  • Great job on this version great voice 5*****

  • That was really really good!!!

  • You are good. Something tells me that you are from Eastern Canada. Are you?

  • Lovely song and your voice is so beautyful :-)

  • I love your voice I also love the way you sang the song you made it your own

  • Wow girl you gave me goose bumps, not alot of singers do that.

    Fantastic!

  • Awesome sing and a great voice - enjoyed my listen.

  • that was amazing girl

  • That was awesome! From one singer to another, you definately got a good set of pipes on you. Personally, I think less is more with songs like this, so it could've done without the big run in the second verse, but it didn't take away from the song by any means. It sounds like you have good control over your voice too, which is impressive. Not only can I hear you on the radio, but you sound a bit like Lorrie Morgan to me (who I grew up on). Excellent job.

    5 stars!

  • I really love you voice and your choice of song !!! Im a country boy and I really like you :) 5 Stars !!! Go see my videos and please put a comment :)
