I felt it was by far the most beautiful performance LeAnne Rimes ever did. It has nothing to do with her winning the competition or the show itself. This performance was truly beautiful and truly her best performance in her entire career.
It’s the power and emotion of having lived long enough to feel that way in life more than once paired with incredible singing, storytelling, power and control 😭💗
@@SlMONSAYS Tori is a great vocalist and I also believe she's better than the sun in terms of singing but my favorite of the season was serpent. The sun is over hyped in my opinion but I can see why
I couldn't imagine that song sung by anyone other than Billie Elish until now. It is rare and amazing for someone w the power weheard she has to completely annihilate a soft and equally as hard song. Skills for days
I don't like Billie Eilish at all. I don't get why people love her. But the fact that LeAnn managed to turn a song I don't like into a powerhouse performance speaks volumes to her talent.
@mcworld999 Rimes is not just a powerhouse, she has better range and control across the board. I'm not sure what the implication is when you say that Billie is a singer songwriter. Are you saying that they should not be compared as singers because Billie also writes songs? Also, Billie is 18 and Rimes won a Grammy by the time she was 14. I'm not saying that Billie is not talented but as a singer, she is just not in the same league as Rimes regardless of age.
@mcworld999 WTF?! I bet that if you said what you wrote to Finneas himself, he would tell you that you are out of your damn mind. Billie is a talented vocalist, to say otherwise to the point where you completely diminish her contribution to her own music is just absolutely absurd without a fucking doubt. Without Billie, there would be no Finneas and vice versa.
I started bawling when Craig spoke. I would love to learn more about his reaction. Nicole cries to everything so that’s not surprising and this was so hauntingly beautiful but when Craig said “All my life I felt the heat of the sun, but I’ve never heard the voice of the sun… until now.” Goosebumps
We have to acknowledge that she sang half the song acapella, which showed that she is a talented beautiful singer. I can't think of any other masked singer that sang acapella. LeAnn, after all these years, you sound amazing and gave me goosebumps.
First off starting a capella, perfect pitch, flawless, effortless fluidity. First time of all seasons!!!!! Season 4 winner 🏆. My gut tells me this is Leann Rimes she is SO underrated. Simply PERFECTION!!!❤💯
Acapella is vocals in place of instruments, not vocals without instruments. It is basically impossible to do solo. Because there were no instruments, I felt that this performance was just lifeless and boring.
She said she was in tears listening to the comments from the judges, as we were in tears after listening to her magical voice. That was one of the greatest performances ever, anywhere, by anyone, one for the history books.
This was so hauntingly beautiful. Her singing, the orchestra, the fairytale like setting with the sound of a gentle storm, her whole outfit. Truly magical and powerful. I just downloaded this as an mp3 to listen to over and over again. I would love it if it was remade. A goddess on earth, truly.
I was so moved the first time I watched this. When I watched this I thought it was the single most beautiful song I have ever heard and thought her from Heaven. I cry every time I watch this and don't even know why, pure bliss.
I'm in UK, so don't watch this show but watch the clips. Of all the clips I have saw that is the by far the best performance I've seen in All 4 seasons!
The only other covers that I can think of off the top of my head, that are better than the original is this, hurt by Johnny Cash and the sound of silence by disturbed.
To me, the best performance ever on the Masked Singer (followed very closely by what was my favorite...Chris Daughtry singing Someone You Loved❤)...people are so mesmerized, it takes a second to realize she is done! Bravo!!!❤❤❤
Years later I keep coming back to this one. My reaction was the same as Jenny's, down to the hand on my chest. I remember thinking how Popcorn absolutely brought it and knowing Sun was going to come out swinging and then I wasn't thinking at all. This is the definition of a showstopper, and one of the best musical performances I've ever heard, not just on the Masked Singer but of all time.
I agree with this performance. When I heard LeAnne Rimes sing this song, it just absolutely was flawless. I pray to god she should win this competition after that performance. I’ve never heard LeAnne Rimes sing as beautiful as she sang this song. Craig was definitely right. We definitely felt not only the heat of the Sun ☀️ but the voice of the Sun ☀️ as well. LeAnne Rimes is truly a gifted artist indeed. It not only gave me goosebumps just hearing this, but every time I hear this, I just tear up. LeAnne Rimes definitely deserves to win to show the world 🌎 how incredible she truly is.
Absolute... Absolute... Her gift is absolute... Her gifted voice can transcend space and time... You can hear it and feel it in this song... it happened right before our eyes... A minute glimpse of the heavenly in our ears.
When she sang the last note and there was a good pause before the audience knew it was over. Im pretty sure they was like "wait, that's it?! Give me more." LeAnn Rimes kilt it. Criag said it beautifully. The 🌞 did not come to play.
I can understand every single word, I feel the pain and sadness she conveys, this is how music should be, it needs to actually reach your soul and make you feel something.
If watched the season or even just this episode, she was the clear cut leader but the competition stepped it up a notch...then she came out with this soul piercing song..the captivation of everyone was real and genuine. Took everyones breath instantly and didnt give it back til she was done...absolutely unforgettable.
Wow well isn’t this just a treat for the ears!! My god that was breath taking. I could breathe the entire performance. Epic, for me, will never forget this.
@@brettdittfurth4379 Believe me, that was Eddie Cibrian (Leann's husband) behind the sun visor , not Mr. Fisher the NHL Hockey player married to Carrie U.. Also the clue about the 8 ball was a reference to Leann and Eddie playing pool in Alaska during their shooting of the movie Northern Lights. That's where they fell in love and had their torrid affair. In Alaska.
I said the same thing! It's got to be LeAnn Rimes. then when I heard her on the Christmas special that nailed the head. Just like I figured out who the seahorse was by one little run. Leanne hit one run and I was like that's it
This is hands down the most emotional, heart stopping, soul wrenching performances that has ever been on the masked singer. It took my breath away! I cant wait until the sun us revealed. I believe she is a 90s country star. At first I thought shania Twain, but the voice was off (and better than shania, no offense) I also thought jewel(not country, also voice is different) but now I kind of think LeAnn rimes? She definitely has a similar voice and its just as amazing, but I guess we will see who she is once she wins the masked singer!
