I can remember seeing them and thinking these two ladies are gorgeous are they sisters? Beautiful and so young. I loved them their voices the songs everything about them. I saw them ln Manhattan New York. Where I worked as I was born in Brooklyn New York. I saw and listened to them on the radio when they were interviewed. Soo cool.. I have loved them and have been a fan since 1983. A long time. Years later hearing about Naomi passing such a heartache 💔😪 I really cannot believe it... Then Wynonna deciding to do a farewell tour for her beautiful mom. My prayers for Wynonna, Ashley and Larry. Now almost a year that Naomi will be gone. 😢. I love them all.. ❤❤❤❤❤. God rest Naomi's precious soul. Amen. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🙏🙏🙏🙏
Such a beautiful film. Fans never knew what they went thru to make everyone around them feel joy and happiness. Wishing them peace and joy for this new year 2023 without their lovely mother. From Texas xoxoxoxo
Naomi sure knew how to hide her depression when a camera was on her. Seeing her crack up with Wy and Ashley is the most precious thing. My heart breaks that she couldn’t hold on any longer 😭💔
My heart is aching for her. I’ve never had such an emotional feeling about the loss of a celebrity, but I feel a connection for some reason. I’m doing my best to hang on, and I try to find inspiration in these videos of Naomi fighting the good fight. I hope her energy has been recycled and that she found peace she was desperate for down in Peaceful Valley. 🤍
Naomi's death just haunts me, because I deal with depression also. I also wish she could of lived out her life without the way she left us. I Love you Naomi, Im sure your at peace with your Lord. Love you as much Wynona. Be blessed and stay safe. God Bless always. Jude
Being in a depression doesn't mean that you can't have good times too. She had the depression before she married her husband. The hardest part was when she was all alone and didn't have something to keep her busy. If you compared her being on stage at the the CMT awards and being on stage back then, you would see a HUGE difference and it mostly was because of the big age difference. My mom is just 14 months older than her. Her ability and energy in the 90's and it now are night and day. Unfortunately, that hit her hard after that performance and unfortunately she couldn't find it in her to go to her daughter and tell her that she just couldn't go on tour like they use to do. She was still in her 40's when she retired. She was only 45 when she had to retire from the Judd's. My mom could dance around when she was 45 but not last year when she was 76 and Naomi learned how exhausting it was the night of the CMT awards and because of her depression, she just couldn't tell people that was a thing of the past.
Yes it is but her severe depression didn't hit till they did the Oprah docuseries and then done the encore tour it was 11 months total they and the day she emptied her tour bus it hit that day and for 30 month was when she was put into 2 psych wards and a Malibu rehab for klonapin bc of the panic attack they gave her ... and done 24 electro shock therapy treatment and tired to kill herself . She had depression long before but nothing like this .. her book explains it all ...bc when getting the Pics together for the Oprah show and came across the one of her being made to stand beside her uncle Charlie is when she finally had the memories of the being molested and first time she remembered it was him that done it not once but 2 times . she had that memory but couldn't remember exactly who he was just remembered it was a male in the family. the 2nd time it happened she had pushed it so fair down that she didn't remember it till she was in the rehab therapy while drawing art things and it came to her the first time . he done it not once but twice. first time was bc she had the chicken pox and a high fever and her mom sent her to her grandmother judds house to not spread it to her baby brother and her uncle Charlie came in the room with her having a extremely high fever and molested her.
I love how they went to "show n tell" with their friend who was 5 years old! So sweet of them to do that! I love all of the pictures at the end! Naomi is dearly missed! We love you Wy and Ashley!
These ladies really knew their stuff Some of the great one's have come from the hills of eastern Ky The Judds brought it from the heart with so much talent they where all about family Hard to believe time has slipped away so fast and Naoimi is no longer with us
What an awesome lady , she (Naomi) would’ve been a great friend .to have, Wynonna is fun to be around, I been listening t, a lot of stories, they have shared with the public. So sorry your mom had to live that early young adulthood life. . But look at the good side, look what you (Wynonna) and Ashley have became. Love y’all A fan from North Carolina.

I remember watching this. Watching this is great memories of them on stage especially seeing Naomi up there on stage dancing and enjoying herself doing what she loved doing.
This was Awesome! 💜 💜 💕 Ashley Did An Awesome job!! 💜 ~This had me laughing at some parts{They just too 😂 & the part Naomi was speaking of Brian 💔 😥 ~The ending OHHH MY GOSH 😭 ~Lord Keep Strength, Peace & Comfort upon this Beautiful Fam 🙏
I remember watching this I taped it on beta or VHS and watched it over and over and over and over and over again until the tape broke so thank you for uploading this I can’t wear it out lol!
Naomi's red dress was her trademark. She said in a late interview describing her red dress looking like she pulled it off the interior of a 57 Chevy. Love ❤ her description. Unforgettably amazing
That's why Elvis Presley did show s instead of lame films of some he enjoyed So much performing Those shows verses doing those lame script s to his films he loved the show connection with his fans guarantee d
My daddy had Hodgkin’s disease too! And I know what Naomi is going through with loosing her brother Brian to it! I cried when I watched that clip of them sitting around and eating Super and talking about it!
I loved how she could joke and laugh and do silly things even in her 70s she never acted "old" and could be silly and be funny and didn't Carr what ppl thought of her it was just Naomi and her silly but hilarious saying in mud sentence or story...like she said as she steps over a mud puddle my names judd and it rhymes with Mudd...mind sentence...lol...
Sorry it's my 1st time to see and hwar them... so i askdd if they're twin Ms. Naomi & Ms. Wynnona... i ask it when i saw them singing together the sweetest gift the mothers smile... a mother & daugther ... i figured out now... how the other woman is looking so tenderly the other Lady.. i thought they're twins... so sweet and lovely especially Ms. Naomi looking at her sweet daughter...
One could only imagine having to be with your mom your entire adult life. Wy is the singer. Naomi rode her coattails. Anyone could have backed wynonna with vocals and she would have been just as successful.
I don’t know who sung the song DON’T BE CRUEL! Elvis Presley or The Judds? Ok I BOTH Elvis and The Judds but it’s hands down tho it had to be The Judds!
Because of her weight and all the backhanded insults she received from people who said her mom is “the pretty one” Your comment is incredibly backhanded accusing her of being a manly lesbian. You SUCK!
