  • LeANN sure knows how to mess up a great song

  • Brings back so many memories of "wailing" this song with one of my best friends EVER.

  • I love LeeAnn's voice, she is one of the great country singers of our generation. Her versions of country standards including Patsy Cline material helps introduce a youger generation to the great artist of the past.

  • Music was terrible BUT

    LeAnn's Vocal was outstanding.

  • On the B side to the kings first single...the greatest version ever in my view.

  • absolutely beautiful, sings like a angel-mind you Ilove Patsy Clines as well. thanks 4 posting

  • She Needs to rerecord this with a beefed up feeling

  • she is amazing but no one can sing it like Patsy Cline

  • This is an amazing version of this song. What a voice!!

  • love it

    

  • I was moved by her voice

  • im from kentucky, god please let me meet here

  • "Blue Moon of Kentucky"

    Single by Bill Monroe and The Blue Grass Boys

    Released September 1947

    Genre Bluegrass

    Label Columbia Records

    Writer(s) Bill Monroe

  • She was 13 years old when this recording was made.

  • @JulianZeezer she was 15 when this was done

  • SUPER SONG by a SUPER TALENT- Patsy and even Elvis would be proud!!

  • She IS Patsy Cline reincarnated. There is no other explaination.

  • She is so talanted!! WHAT AN ANGELIC VOICE!!!

  • better than elvis presley's version...theeyy lord

  • she might can sing,but NOT Patsy. Moving on...........

  • @Pinkiegrl26 She won't ever be another Patsy or any other singer, she IS LeAnn, so she is just doing her rendition. Why oh why, are you people always comparing them to others??????? She is up there, doing HER finest, her way, her 15 mins in the sun.JUST like Patsy did/was. Here is something, why don't YOU, get up there, and see how difficult it is, too PLEASE everyone, Sheeesh!!!

  • @TheTreacle52 ...i'm pretty sure i'm entitled to MY opinion. Seriously,why did you even take the time to write that long,stupid,reply ? And I wouldn't get up and cover someone eles song,that I knew I couldn't do justice to..........and LeAnn pretty much sucks. Ok voice. I just wanted to give it a listen,and it was a let down. Have a great day now. Bye byeee

  • @Pinkiegrl26 Ditto to yr looooong boring reply xx

  • Heard better

  • not as much depth as patsy, but still good

  • The best singers can carry it a capella - and she certainly can.

  • Wow is all I can say about this!

  • Almost as good as the original.

  • I could listen to her sing allllll day long - such a natural.

  • For in summer parties best tune to hear.. in Germany , too!

  • beautiful version of one of my favourites... absolutely

  • I've always thought of this as Patsy's song (love her rendition) This lady can sing and sing this song well.

    Then again I am not into country but this song ROCKS!

  • she does have a very beautiful voice but the best i've ever heard this song sung was by boomhauer on king of the hill.

  • @slydawg221 watching this eppy now haha wat got me thinking of her version!! :)

  • @slydawg221 You have gotta be kiddin, I just listened to boomhauer, oh no, it's mediocre buddy!!!

  • @slydawg221 agree 100%

  • It's not Patsy that is the point. God Rest her Soul. It is her voice. Cline had a great, fantastic even, Country/Blues voice. Rimes has that and more, if she doesn't f**k it up.

  • LeAnne she got it

  • it's not her fault...the producers wanted her to revive patsy's song because patsy died early at her prime so they look for other

  • most songs she has done are patsy clines listen to her then you will know music ......

  • @deano637 She has A Cline style, but I can still tell them apart, and she was only a child when she sang Cline's music, she's only getting better so I would say she will Surpass Cline. With all respect to Cline, what propelled her even further into stardom was the fact that she was killed so young and like any dead artist, her product became gold. Lean has her own style, or she wouldn't be a star. Las Vegas is full of Cline imposters, but imitators don't get where Rimes is.

  • all i can say is awesome

  • love listening to leann, love her yodel

  • Good Lord this girl can sing!!!

  • Amazing version!

  • I don't like this because she slowed it down at the beginning. This is a song about moving on, not mourning. Listen to the Bill Monroe bluegrass version and enjoy the mandolin playing.

  • I think she is possibly the best singer of the last century. The word natural comes to mind.

  • LeAnn is wonderful, Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley, and Bill Monroe were also wonderful. They were all different. This song is one of the greatest country songs ever written.

  • @ladyoftherepublic CORRECTION, one of the greatest BLUEGRASS songs ever written! lol

  • Wonderful Job............

  • wow

    

  • Not bad,but not Patsy Cline.

  • I think I prefer the Patsy Cline version. Good vocals from LeAnn though.

  • hey lets not say ruined this song ... dont you think back in the day bill munroe fans said exactly the same thing .. its not bad , from someone who loves the elvis version

  • Elvis did a better version ;) this gal sounds too contrived and she hurts my ears ...

  • She ruined this like she ruined Amazing Grace. She has a great voice, but she need not change the way it's been done.

  • @BlueMonster78 It's called artistic license.

  • Love Leann, she is one of the best ever to me.

  • such a fun song to dance and sing too

  • Who would like to hear "weeping willow" by Leann Rimes? I woulD :D

  • Damn the critics, us guys actually from Kentucky are going to adore any gurl singer who will sing this song for us...:-)

  • What is it with this woman and the word 'Blue'? Everytime she attempts to sing it she sounds like Johnny Weismuller doing his Tarzan call. Learn to hold a straight note, my dear!

  • Dogs howling in the middle of night sound better that Taylor Swift........no talent..at all

  • @b8119b

    hahahahaha

  • Country music needs to take some notes from Kanye West, and grab the microphone out of Taylor Swift's hands. She might be a good singer but she is in no way shape or form Country music. She sings pop music and thats what she needs to label herself as. Let some real COUNTRY female vocalists when female vocalists of the year at the CMA awards.

  • @jordan69f5

    I wish I could click thumbs up to your comment over and over.

  • Well, saying she's better than Taylor Swift is not saying much, since Taylor Swift has THE most unimpressive voice I have ever heard.

  • @14skellington A-FU*KIN-MEN

  • I'm fat and drunk but i'll totaly do her!

  • @mathias86x LMAO

  • anyone who thinks taylor swift has anywhere close to this kind of talent is mental. Its not even close. That being said, you want to see a country woman, check out Miranda Lambert or Ashton Shepard.

  • this song wasnt country music to begin with. theres a fine line of difference between country and bluegrass.. this falls in the category of bluegass..not my favorite version of this song but its up there. but she beats out taylor swift any day idc what anyone says this girls can sing

  • beautiful voice...i say damn it boys!!!

  • waoh fk i think ur amazin miss Rimes

  • Taylor Swift can't hold a candle to LeAnn. I went to se LeAnn just a few months back when she sang with the San Diego Pops orchestra down by the bay and she blew us away with her incredible voice. I loved her the first time I saw her on Star Search all those years ago.

  • SHALOM VERY NICE SONG TOV TODA

  • patsey cline is much better than this

  • Remember getting her first album as a kid, fell in love with her on ''One Way Ticket''. Lord i miss that girl.....especially when I look at my wife.

  • It may be an obvious statement but this is Patsy Cline incarnate!....

  • cant beat the older versions. piano cant beat the banjo or mandolin either.

  • Any Old Country Music is Great, Shames the rest of them,

    especially, rap jzz bazza huzza wassup whitegirl bs crap...

  • instrumental all the way...bluegrass song...

  • she might have a real good voice, but the music that comes in after about a minute is just the worst modern Nashville crap they could've possibly arranged. Sounds like

    karaoke background music. I think Bill Monroe's version is untouchable. Should be over here in the links somewhere --->

  • @philipheubeck

    I concur

  • This is ok, but I prefer the one from Carl Perkins and Friends with Eric Clapton, George Harrison, RIngo Starr and Roseann Cash. It's a melody that include Blue Moon of Kentucky and it blows every other version I've ever heard out of the water.

  • best version of this song other than elviis! "smo'kin!'

  • this song was not a Patsy original written by Bill Monroe and was Elvisis first single

  • Wow... I`ve always known she could really sing... But the beginning of this made me get CHILLS ! LOL! awesome!

  • Better than taylor swift? bet your ass...that lame-ass can't carry a tune for shit compared to classic singers before her. also i hate taylor swift so like, i guess i am predjadice but c'mon she does suck quite a bit of dick if you ask me.

  • you have to remember this is the early years she was like 13 when she started out. and i think this is one of those songs she started out with. so for being so young. i think its amazing.

    @Kelsie154 It was the first one i heard too. so i guess im a little biast towards it. but i love it!!

  • she ruins the legend of patsy cline. she got updated technical systems.

  • @2jkittykat She didn't ruin Patsy Cline because of updated technical systems. Patsy will always be a legendary singer. I'm a big fan of both, but Leann Rimes simply has a better vocals.

  • I praise anyone who has the gift of singing.... a singing voice is a blessing no matter the range of talent!

  • i've always loved this version.

    but that's because it's the first version i ever heard.

    then was bill monroe, and then patsy cline.

    i tend to lean towards bill monroe and leanns versions better.

    don't get me wrong, patsy clines version was good, just not my taste.

  • Vacker röst har Du , och vackra ögon

  • i have to agree with montana at least for the beginning of this video. When she switched over to the more classic version, I really enjoyed it. LeAnn has a beautiful voice and oodles of talent. I just wish she could focus on the music and not get distracted...

  • all technique and echo chamber and polish, no soul.

  • Technically speaking, LeAnn Rimes has Patsy Cline's range and vocal strength; but she must be from a totally different part of the country or else was NOT RAISED "country" because her intonations, lilts, and just the general overall "soul" of the song is absent compared to when Patsy did it.

  • Patsy lives?

  • what is this shit?? with such a voice it's incredible!! it's ridiculous!!

  • overindulgent nonsense. listen to bill monroe sing this song with real soul. not this fake, contrived, show off. thanks

  • @captam666 amen brother. could not have said it better.

  • she was so adorable when she as a toddler! I saw her before on vh1.

  • LeAnn is here in Germany's country scene a top star!! Most of doing Line Dance using here music... Must I'll tell more?

  • she is the next Patsy Cline...she has the high pitch and the grr patsy had! she can hit notes not many ppl can hit

  • great song!!! i love it!! i love her voice!!

  • Wish she would sing the old Patsy Cline stuff again. She's the only one to hold a candle to Patsy.

  • Would the full moon coming up have anything to do with this ?? Hello from Kentucky !!

  • The bit before 1:17 is just irritating

  • Rimes's album Blue was also released in 1996, and sold 123,000 copies in its first week, which was the highest figure in SoundScan history up to that point.

  • she SLAYS this intro! amazing!

  • 10 thumbs up!!--good job!

  • Why do I feel so sad about this LeAnn can put some blues on you in a few moments. Allright bye,bye

  • yeah! the BEST

  • yeeeehaaaa i love Kentucky i cant wait to move to my baby's hometown!

  • Without a doubt this is the best renditition of this song I have ever heard in 56 years of living. Thats my openion and I have been a proffesional musician my ENTIRE life. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

  • @hawgleydangerson Imust admit it is a great rendition, by a truly talented lady, in my opinion the second best version I ever heard. Patsy Cline 4 me.

  • she may have a great voice...............butthis song???? no way jose she distroy it!!!

  • @laxunta

    If you don't like how she sang this project then go and listen to someone else.

  • @okayq I think I will, thanks!

  • @okayq I think I will,Patsy Cline

  • @laxunta You're kidding right? This one of the best versions of this song

  • she is the best singer out there better than taylor swift i think

  • @alicia3n8: OPERATIVE word being "SINGER"......I agree!

  • @alicia3n8 ABSOLUTELY, Taylor can't even beging to touch LeAnn Rimes...she is one of a kind...What has helped Taylor is the teeny bopper songs that become popular w/the younger crowd, but Taylor does not have very good vocals!!!!

  • @alicia3n8 Duh, ya think. Taylor Swift can barely carry a tune. Like comparing diamonds and kidney stones!

  • @alicia3n8 my dog sings better than taylor she has no talent this voice puts taylor to shame

  • @alicia3n8 she is better than taylor swift cuz leann is REAL COUNTRY and taylor is NOT

  • @alicia3n8

    Taylor swift can't sing to me , it don't even sound country lol :)

  • @alicia3n8 Of course she is better than taylor swift....they are not even close to being in the same category!!! Taylor Swift could never do this acapella.... ever. She gets out of tune WITH instruments.

  • @alicia3n8 she doesnt sing this good anymore, have you heard here live recently?

  • @alicia3n8 obviously. its not hard to be better than taylor swift....

  • @alicia3n8 definitely, Taylor is all auto tune!

  • They ask where have all the good singers gone? This girl's got it all and more

  • Great great great! Where are the stars?

    10 stars!

  • cool girl, cool song. Too Too slow, like many of her songs.

  • this is fantastic even if shes not the great patsy leAnn Was just a baby when she belted this out give her some credit ............awesome

  • COOL GIRL COOL SONG

  • Any singer worth their salt wants to sing the oldies and keep the music alive. This is a great version except that there's too much echo. That's the producer's fault. LeAnn knows how to sing a song.

  • What the...?

  • Is this what they sing in the hood?

  • You guys have too much times.

  • i agree with Tammy6880! Even dough leann

    does a great job.

  • This isnt Patsy Clines song...Bill Monroe wrote it in 1942, Elvis did a cover of it too, just as these singers have.

  • Why is it people start creating competitions among singers? I bet if you were to ask these singers they would tell you they are NOT competing with each other. I'm sure Patsy would consider it a compliment that her songs are still being sung and listened to today!

  • Probably so. Patsy didn't write her own music anyway.

  • Ummmmmmmm..Hello?? I didn't down grade her at all.I think LeeAnne is an alright singer...I'm just sayin no matter how many of us singers out there that sing here music,none of us will sing it the way Patsy did..No one is down grading that girl..just FYIIIIIII

  • Also keep in mind. This is an 11 year old girl singing this song. What 11 year old can sing like this!? Lol LeAnn has a magnificent voice!

  • she did an alright job..but nothing is ever gonna sound like patsy clines voice to patsy cline's music...no matter how many women out there try to be like her..hell i even sing some of patsy's songs,but deep down inside i'll never have the voice like that woman had,..

  • Shes not trying to sound like patsy. She just did the song her way. Just because she recorded the song doesnt mean shes trying to sound like patsy cline.

  • 5*****

  • I thought I was going to like it, but, no. Bluegrass pop. NOOO. Protect bluegrass. Sounds like bad Dolly.

    Ian, Australia

  • @shout102

    What bluegrass sounds like?

  • I like that greezy guitar sound , LeAnn sings good too .

  • ...Wonderful rendition! Thanks LeAnn!

  • She has a truly great voice and has done justice to this song in addition to having the simple good sense to sing it in the first place instead of the musical white noise this passes for country music today.

  • Try Blue Moon with Dwight Yoakam and Boxcar Willie. It's as good as can be.

  • all electronics and synthesized,modern music sucks all computers.

  • Whew! I'd forgotten why Leann Rimes means so much to me, even though I really *hate* Country as a general genre. Nice cover of Patsy, in her own way. :) She has a truly sweet, powerful voice.

  • So beautiful!

  • There's an episode of King of the Hill when Hank, Dale, Bill and Boomhauer form a band and they sing this song. I like the version they did better.

  • This sounds like honky tonk needs more string instruments. She does a good job singing the song. Nice to see someone bringing back the old songs. Many of the new songs lack any attachment to county music and just make no sense. Thank you for doing this. You have earned a new fan today.

  • I enjoy jazz in fact played in a jazz band at one time. I love Billie Holiday, she is astounding. So, just because I love country music, does not mean, I have not experienced other forms of music. There are some classical music songs that there are not words for how beautiful the music is. Music is ment to celebrate life and rejoice in and savor life.

  • voice is amazing......

  • This girl is cut out to do country and she can do well if she stays true to the country genre. Do you agree?

  • Agreed, I can understand why the writer of "blue" waited after Patsy died until a voice like LeAnn's came along.

    She's amazin!

  • Why put her in a box for you to like her?

  • When I was 12, the girls in school certainly did not look like her.  If they would have, i'd STILL be in 6th grade, LOL.

  • LeAnn is HOT!

  • Go on girl! Your voice is beautiful!!!

  • lock up yer sons!
