I still can't believe what comes out of her. It continues to amaze me. I've got trouble with a 2 note range.

Amazing. Overused word in today's worldt but rather appropriate here.

I have no daughters. My wife sings beautifully. I wish that this young woman were my daughter. What a princess.....

Indeed.

My mother and her two sisters were talented, they sang Andrews Sisters songs while they did the family holiday gathering's dishes. Harmonies to haunt the mind as well. Their father was so against "show buisness" they never went anywhere with it. But the first time I heard Linda Ronstadt (Stone Ponies, "Different Drum") I thought my mother had finally "gone rogue".

She had a scary-wonderful singing voice. When teaming with her siblings it was a stunning and wonderful event. Dad even made tape recordings, she later erased those for whatever reason. All we've left are memories.

Wow! What a mature voice for such a young girl. Amazing talent!
