16 Tons

[betyarharamia]

I guess she worked in a gold mine, as a gold digger.

[sebbef82]

Lovely eyes, can i touch them?

[wynnefox]

If you were in a blues club singing this, I'd pay to see you.

[lsmpw]

Good job, enjoyed this video

[asd6787]

To be honest, I don't like the country, all-american twang and mannerisms you put on this song.

That being said, you have a great voice and good job

[reindweller]

Beautiful voice and face...

[gameplayer502]

At least you have your looks... Lol jk good voice too

[goczangabor24]

HILARIOUS!

[CoolLikePenguinNuts]

And... I'm off to bed so I can wake up at 5am for my miserable effin J. O. B.

Oh, nice cover by the way. You have a catchy voice :) It took a little bit of the sting off of this giant black vortex of despair that is the world of a plumbing contractor. Damn, I need a drink.

[MissAkioYamamoto]

You have attitude with the song. I like that. Shows your personality, and you give the song your own flare. Bravo, Dear. :D

[shicrapt]

Mama, what a voice. Great rendition!

[asianwhitenigger]

id eat your shit.

[Nockwolves]

Well done! btw, ur beautiful! keep it up :)

[quegemo]

Great job! I was impressed that you did this song originally by Tennessee Ernie Ford so well--never imagined a woman doing it. Nicely done!

[ItsMrQ]

@quegemo Merle Travis was the original. When Ernie Ford did it was when the song took off, but he wasnt the original.

[appleman426777]

This is done very well, good job!

[duje456]

You should sing it in a much deeper voice.

[jogomez1974]

Pensé que esa era para bajo. Se escucha raro.

[curtismstake]

Great voice but the parts at the beginning of the verses where you tried to slow down didn't work with the beat and were just kind've awkward. Otherwise great cover!

[fixfroid]

beautiful woman to marry me

[booboobitxch666]

I saw this was a woman I was like WTF I am however impressed with how well you sang it

[sillyjoe1234]

Ahh my beautiful sister! I have not seen you in so long. It's been so long I wonder if I dreamed you up as a kid.You sang it well.

[franhelsing]

nice

[Thierry0912]

Very nice...great cover...congratulation from France. I really this song from Merle Travis I thing...

[tikalsurfer]

this chick is a smoke, whats her name?

[CommanderKurgan]

Nice interpretation of this classic song. Well done!

[unclebrian7807]

Wow! Can't find anymore info about you. Are you performing anywhere? Where can I get more of your music?

[acco1840]

Nice job Shelly.

[Pieribus]

you've just made me smile. Thank you.

[DreadKtulu]

I love it! You don'r have TEF's voice, but by my unholy god, you did this incredibly well! I hope you think the same of mine when I get it up on youtube!

[missaprilshowers21]

I am a huge Tennessee Ernie Ford fan. But I loved how you made the song your own. I definately give you a thumbs up! And good job responding to negative comments in a positve way. :-)

[rubicon110]

Best version I have seen! You owned it!

[creativecompanion]

My husband was sitting here listening to you and I thought, "That has got to be the sweetest female voice I have heard in a long time." Then I watched you for myself and wow! You truly have a striking stage presence as well! Blessings to you for sharing your talent with the world!

[Arianajune1]

good singing

[thedrummerdude777]

This has to be the worst cover of 16 tons I heard. Here are my valid reasons to show I'm not trolling.

1. I hate the pronunciation in your lyrics. It absolutely bugs me, I dunno why.

2. You're not gonna get famous by expecting to be famous every morning you wake up.

3. This kind of a lame attempt to be "talented AND good looking". I'm not buying it.

Good day to you, ma'dam

[creativecompanion]

@thedrummerdude777

I dunno...20,000 folks seem to disagree with you...

[chico388]

@thedrummerdude777

None of those were valid. All were poorly thought out and articulated, none were constructive or insightful. Next time you feel compeled to give some advice take mine, keep it to yourself.

PS: TROLLLLLLLLLLl!

[thedrummerdude777]

@chico388 Who said it needs all this poetic crap you've just mentioned? That's just my opinion (speaking as a musician or what you internet geeks call a 'troll'). I could say your comment are neither valid, insightful or constructive. And plus, it's the internet. Don't waste your time to tell me what the fuck I'm supposed to do with my time. And since, I'm being labelled as a troll, I'm gonna go as far to say go fuck yourself.

[chico388]

@thedrummerdude777 Who said it needs all this poetic crap? Anyone with half a brain. Also I'm a musician, I'm also a well rounded one, where as you are not. So your attempt at presenting yourself as superior or not trolllllllllllish just failed. Long story short you are far to slow to critique anyone. Have a nice life.

PS: Here is a joke you might like. What did Ringo get on his IQ test? Drool.

Drummers I tell ya haha.

[thedrummerdude777]

@chico388 I posted a 16 tons cover. Who's the troll now?

[CloudWolfs]

you should be a country singer you already seem like one do it I give you a 7 out of 7

[MGP98]

who ia thia girl?? very sexy

[rodolforibas]

You're hot, very hot. Your voice is OK and you sing pretty well. Ready to be a celebrety.

[pattinsonmusicfan]

back in the day one man owned the store you bought your things from and the house you lived in.u also worked for him

[inura25]

Beautiful voice duet? lol I haven't sang this song in a while and its too early to sing

[mrbunnyc]

So awesome and sexy

[badamgarav1]

[lilda8615]

Awesome. Don't even let those negative assholes phase you. Do what ya wanna do. You are great!

[ilmantovani13]

SO FUCKING NICE!

[ChemTrailSkys]

What an Angel!

5*****s

[SarahPlays]

Hey, I'm glad I've found a cover fo this song by a woman! Beautifully sung, great job, except the ending (for me, humble POV, you're trying too hard). Anyway, it made my day, thanks!

[bigrebnc1861]

You have talent, but don't reach to far, I would hate to see a beautiful voice and beautiful face go down the drain like many others have. Be wise with your choices and the people you surround yourself with.

[ChemTrailSkys]

Freakin Nice!

5*****s

[badlilkid1469]

i dont like it ,you shouldn't try so hard , you're singing not fucking!<3

[TheKiaProductions]

i love this song n i also love you! you rock

[DJpopel]

trying to imagine you slaving away in a coal mine and it-just-isnt WORKING!

You do have a good voice tho

better than singing fucking pop, fo sho.

[SmilEmptySoul26]

Sounds great.

[amh1230]

not that this is particularly relevant to this video, but holy fuck, when will the general population learn to spell "lose"... aside from that, not bad. not stellar, but definitely good. and a good song as well :)

[x21x21x21]

I believed it when you said (One fist of iron, the other of steel) :-)

[silver965]

I thought beauty like her's was only a fantasy. Never thought it was actually real. What else are you hiding from me god!?

[fytotech]

Will you marry me?

Really. Will you? :)

[MrArmandoTeran]

your´s voice is beautifull

[StarrJaded]

So glad you put this one back up =) My lil 4 yr old boy & 3 yr old girl love singing this song along with your video =)

[COSIMO36]

i'm falling in love for you!!!

[texwinca11]

Really love your style very gorgeous, I re watch it several time already and can't help to let you know my comment, bty , I am fr hk and my wife also own the soul to department store

[nataslive1]

Hey nice lady, I am in my mid 50's now and my mama sang this song to me while I was a little kid, just wanted to let you know that you got to me with your version, it's just like the way my mother use to sing to me, thanks for stirring up memories, from toogonejohn

[FourRooms]

Nice! I would hit the high notes just a higher!

[ellicantropo]

parece que la estan culenado.

[862brady]

Very nice. I do not have the nerve to make em my own so well. Course I cannot sing so well either. Very nice thank you. Brady. :)

[expchris]

pure sex.

[rkansas1]

Great job and those baby brown eyes r beautiful.Have a fantastic new year!

[redtony58]

This is probably the last song that I would have thought anybody could make sexy, but you did it. The song has an implicit I don't give an f attitude. I can easily imagine a young coal miner's daughter, her boyfriends just starting out on in the mines, singing it like this. Just cause your po' don't mean you can't be sarcastic.

[jehovahuponyou]

NO.

[STRUMMERBOY1975]

Good Job ! ;)

[igobyRt]

Love it!!!!

[StarrJaded]

Best version ever girl =)

I'm bummed you removed your other videos :(

[lzlzian000]

so what, u think u have a good voice so ur playing with it? do u even know what the song is about?

[zippers4soup]

@lzlzian000 The world is still a wonder to be discovered. Try to find peace from within. Good luck out there. :)

[ebb1501]

@lzlzian000 The day you wrote this, did you wake up that morning and think " I'm gonna attempt to make someone feel smaller today."?? Looks like you failed miserably and then got monumentally owned by the person you tried to cut down. HAHA!

[Hewdgedik]

@ebb1501 I think he woke up that morning and thought he was gonna speak his mind that day. And miserably got owned by a bunch of pussies trying to be NICE.

[lzlzian000]

worst version ever heard

[carbon304]

fiuuuuuuuuuuuuuu fiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! !!!

you are good :D

[von65halling]

Fuck girl, you are good!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!

[celestopus]

Désolé, mais non

Elle est très belle et on veut nous faire croire qu'elle chante bien, mais non

[MrTwinTowers]

GENIAL 

MUY BIEN

[chico4571]

Tres belle chanson qui est chantée avec une tres jolie voie un plaisir a entendre.

Désolé je ne parle que le français et ne comprends pas les autres langues.

"Wealth reminds me of manure in the field. When it is in a big pile it makes a bad smell. But when it is distributed everywhere across the field, it makes the soil fertile." -- Leo Tolstoy

[richardbrister]

Lovely voice but the idea of a pretty girl singing this song doesn't add up for me.

[MsJelatang]

Shelly, you're very beautiful!

Your version of this song is perfect.

[tooters3]

Shelly, your voice is superceded by your beauty. wow what a bundle!!!!!

[jakral]

[aprilliaprilton]

O dear, if you say this is just a late-night dare, and not the best of yours...

I have listened to so many performances of this song.

One thing left as a comment of mine to your "late-night dare"(!): NAMASTE

[travisafx]

[OrangeAni]

Could you sing Katie Melua - Crawling Up A Hill? :) I think it would be interesting and pleasant.

Keep up the good job!

Annie

[lennybruce8]

really great! if you ever want a duet let me know. ^^ collaborations are fun. i havent done one on youtube yet.

[dragannov]

I'm shure that you will be a great star one day ! I'm shure, oh yes, I'm so damn shure!

ooooooooooooooh yes, I,m soooooooooooooooooooo shure !

all you need is a good agent or some kind of manager.

[Jicarilla07]

Don't be in too big a hurry to reach for fame... It has it's price... these are the good times the times you will always remember and long for if you loose yourself in fame... Your very talented and your going to get that fame... You take care and I think my buddy Corn&Cattle has a crush on you.... ha ha ha!

[zippers4soup]

I spent yesterday thinking about your comment..partly paranoid, partly excited, partly worried, and partly hopeful. Thank you for taking the time to write out your thoughts.

[CORNandCATTLE]

im in love...

[Superfluousness78]

She's the bomb HUh?

I'm so glad you did a vid and did a shout out about his amazing woman a while back!!

Her voice is beyond amazing!!

[MrMayhem3k]

@CORNandCATTLE i saw her first

[timitzer]

Come on,

We need to see some more videos. Your awesome!

Tim

[timitzer]

Wow,

That was awesome. You should try out for American Idol. You certainly are easy on the eyes as well!

Tim

[minorityFILMS]

My god you've changed. I request Radiohead next.

[zippers4soup]

You chose the group, but didn't mention the song... It's going to be Optimistic @ 250 views. Define "changed".

[minorityFILMS]

Optimistic maybe. Kind of a hard one. And by changed, I mean transformation. And by transformation, I mean 11 years.

[zippers4soup]

I'd like to do Talk Show Host, but I can't seem to find any music to it yet...still looking. Yeah, 11 years is never kind to anyone.

[funtli]

Nice interpretation, well done.

[zippers4soup]

Thanks funtli!

[john26660]

I am a loyal viewer of your ONE video! It will be easier to be loyal when I can get on here and find you singing new songs. I might even graduate to "fan".

[zippers4soup]

Thank you Pmtmr. My mic is not the greatest...not by a long shot. Unfortunately, that's how it will have to stay until I can afford a better one. Thanks for having a listen!

[john26660]

What a voice! What a face! I can't believe this only has 56 views, you have got it all going stong! Give us more please.

[zippers4soup]

Thanks john26660! Tell you what...once I have 100 views, I will post another song. Sound good?

[john26660]

How about your loyal viewers sending in requests? You would sound good on "Crazy" by Patsy Cline

[zippers4soup]

OK. "Crazy" it is. I've never sung it before...should be fun..or awful..or both.. :)

I'll post it @ 100 views. Are calling yourself a "loyal viewer"...?

[WoahManicTom]

WOW that was awesome bravo, you are very talented I feel very special you subscribed to me :D subbed back

[zippers4soup]

Thanks for clicking the yellow box! And thanks for your kinds words. Sitting here wondering what stereotype you're going to address next...maybe that too many Brits commit fashion suicide with their socks and sandals...

[WoahManicTom]

Haha, do you mean chavs? Like when they tuck there tracksuit bottoms into there socks?

[zippers4soup]

I'd tried to send you a photo link earlier via the "comment" box. No luck. Check your inbox for a photo that demonstrates exactly what I mean! Who ever thought up this combo anyway?

[dragannov]

your great and so lovely, but what was my comment ?(you posted comment on my channel)

[zippers4soup]

Thank you dragannov!
