Rachel's Audio entry

rachiebylake.jpgThis is my baby girl singing , She is 13 years old and was singing melodies before she was putting sentences together. She spends part of her summer entertaining senior citizens at community centers in our area. She not only has an amazing voice she has an amazing heart too!....... Ü


 This is her bathroom rendition of 'Crazy' by Patsy Cline, she also enjoys other classic country singers like Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette along with newer artists like Gretchen Wilson and Martina Mcbride. She enjoys all gendre's of music. She definitely has the music in her! lol


This photo below was taken of her during a performance on stage benefiting the local Kiwanis Club, which funds a lot of childrens charities and programs in the chicago area. This was her first time up on stage outside of school musicals, she finally felt at ease up there, but didn't like all the fuss and the muss of stage make up and hair! lol  but at then again I didn't start wearing make up of fooling with my hair until I was almost 16! lol......but she cleans up good doesn't she! lol 


 


Thanks for everyones wonderful comments left in my journal for my daughter Rachel.....This has helped her so much in her continuous battle with stage fright....she LOVES to sing but isn't that comfortable (yet) with being in the limelight and having people look at her attentively.....I thought this entry would be a great place to add other links to some of the other entries of her singing. Just click on the links below and they will take you to other entries of her renditions of other old and new song favorites...You can use the alert system to alert you to future songs from her...just click on "Alert me as entries are posted"

At 13 that's great...do you have her with a voice coach? I hear a quality to her singing that is very a unique, throaty...she reminds me of a country singer...I can't place the name...but boy with training you could have a little super star on your hands...very talented....what high school is she going to? They have specialized schools for talented musical kids.....oh, I'll just shut up now...you know all this already....she just blew me away.....Sandi

She sang that in the bathroom with a sinus problem?  Dang!  That's a great set of pipes.  And she's pretty too!  Lucky girl.  Understandably proud mom.
