Grace Leer Cries After Judges Love Her Rendition Of 'Crazy' By Patsy Cline
American Idol hopeful Grace Leer impresses the judges with her take on ‘Crazy’ by Patsy Cline.
This iconic song was written by Willie Nelson and thrust into popularity after Patsy released her recording in 1961.
“Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new”
Today, Grace Leer is hoping that her interpretation is enough to earn a ticket to Hollywood. For years, Grace has dreamed of making it big in Nashville, but competition is stiff. But her bold performance received rave reviews from the judges.
Lionel Ritchie said, “I like the way you interpret. Your voice is cutting through. And you do well with on-the-spot.” Fellow country singer Luke Bryan called the performance ‘classic’ and said, “It’s not forced. And it’s great and it’s easy to listen to.”
As they went to vote, Grace couldn’t help but give in to her emotions. As tears filled up her ears, Grace explained that, “It just means a lot to hear that from people like you.” She went on to say that, “To hear that that classic sound that we’re trying do and that it came through, just means a lot. Thank you.”
After three ‘yes’ votes, Grace easily earned her golden ticket to Hollywood where she will compete with other competitors from all over the country. Do you think that Grace Leer has what it takes to be the next American Idol?
