Knowing the whole story here, gives me chills, makes me cry.. her singing her birth mother's and the horrible way Amy died..

She has the most captivating tone to me... Stunning as always.

I knew her mom and saw her perform her music in Bisbee, AZ many times before she tragically passed away.

To those bemoaning this song, saying it's boring, inarticulate. It's her birth parents' song. She only sang a portion of it. The lyrics are clear. It was beautiful, I feel. She's amazing; seems wise beyond her 25 years of age.

Amen. Very well said!!! 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰Wow!!! Gorgeous "airy singing" with "soft velvety sound" and full of emotions. "Tumbleweed" is a gorgeous light song. "McKenna Breinholt" had a great understanding of her voice and had played "different dynamics" in different songs - "There Was Jesus", "The Story", "Both Sides Now", and "Tumbleweed". "McKenna" **SHINES BRIGHTLY!!!** in soft ballad kind of songs - very angelic voice - she has heavenly voice!!!🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏**YOU ARE "THE BEST OF THE BEST", "MCKENNA" - GOLD STANDARD WITH A VERY VERY HIGH LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE. ICONIC PERFORMANCES, SO FAR."!!!** 🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏WOW!!! You just open the gate to heaven with those performances, McKenna!!! 👏👏👏McKenna Breinholt, you have an amazing and gorgeous voice!!! You sing like "Zephanie", winner of First Idol Philippines in 2019.🥰🥰🥰 🙏🙏🙏May the Almighty God shower you with more blessings and tremendous success! Jesus Take The Wheel. Amen.🙏🙏🙏

Such a beautiful soul, and to be born out of the situation she did, its an inspiring story. I recommend people watch the documentary, "Nowhere man and a Whiskey Girl", a lot of it will have you in tears, inspire you, and at the end they show the music video of "Tumbleweed" which had me in a pool of my own tears.

@a.duncan6791 4 години тому

In order to win, she needs to cover instantly recognizable standards like she did with "The Story", or "Both Sides Now". Blue Eyes Cryin' In the Rain, I Fall To Pieces, Blue Bayou, The Sound of Silence, The First Time Ever..., and so on are perfect for Mckenna's voice. Idol producers give great songs to choose from to those they hope will win. Great singers, Mckenna, is a great singer, don't get quite the choice of others. But a couple others (not to be named), seem to be who producers want in the final 3.

The song is a little longer than the versions she used tonight and in her audition. Personally, I found the music of Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl to be sweet and powerful.

@allisonpoynor4457 16 днів тому

That’s just cause the show has to cut the song down. The “la da’s” are at the very end of the full song. You can find the full version with her mom here on YT.

@margusmagi6703 16 днів тому

Arrangement is too poppy, the piano part ruins the song (the message / spirit of the song get lost). In that regard her audition improvisation was much better.
