This is one of my favorite CCR songs.. And Sawyer you did it justice. You're such an amazing artist..I love your soulful voice. I'm rooting for you on the voice. Good luck!
You have a talent and you used it so well. You inspire people with your music. Every time I get in the car I beg my mom to put on your song. I live in my hometown of Saratoga, NY and I'm only 11. I'm a singer/songwriter as well. When I found out how close you live to me I was so excited. You are going to win the voice. And you already inspire people with your music😊you are amazing💜💛💚💙❤️please write back if you can. That would be awesome.
Another day in paradise. As someone commented earlier, thank goodness for You Tube. I am spending my entire morning and now afternoon getting to hear all your stuff. Loving every minute too. MORE
Sawyer Fredericks, what a beautiful talented young man… When I first saw him on his blind audition I knew he was going to be the winner of The Voice season 8. And when he talks about the songs, and the subjects he touches his chest… The subjects and life experiences only an old soul would understand, and very wise he says “I never experience-it but I understand”. And he sings the songs like his went through the experiences. When he was singing the song “I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" I started to cry, it gave me so much pain, and it put me in a different stage of my life... Sawyer what an old soul you are... Just happy going back home to work on the farm and be with the animals. You are amazing!
Your debut on The Voice has left me gobsmacked. I found this and wanted to see what you sounded like when you were younger, performing this same song. I am ridiculously relieved to find out that yes, the amazing voice you're sporting now is one that will not change later, it's already done that. :) What I don't understand is how someone so young can have such an old soul residing in him. Your voice is one of someone who has suffered loss and pain, and walked many roads: And while I'm not saying that 15 is too young to have suffered any heartache and pain, I am hoping you have not. Perhaps being out in God's country, reading, working hard and spending time with a loving family is enough to inspire creation and your inner muse. It sure seems to have worked! Best of luck in your endeavor on The Voice. I think your coach will do right by you, and count me in as part of an America which has been hungering for music that brings us back to our roots.
I love your voice, your warm personality and that sweet heart of yours. I can listen to you all day long. You have a voice that just brings you to a lovely place and makes you feel good. Thanks for being YOU!!!!!
What a great family. So nice to see everyone so relaxed and into their own thing but yet all together. Beautiful, cozy home. What a great guy Sawyer is (and I'm sure everyone in the family is, even the beautiful white dog on the couch, only saw 1) and I see the shyness in Sawyer in this video, cute. Will be great to see him in years to come. All the best to everyone and thanks "Mom'" for the videos.
Love seeing your grandma so loving your god given talent. Your so great on the Voice I hope you win. But just be yourself and try to enjoy this wonderful journey that life has given you.Love the Xmas Tree!
Ray LaMontagne may be your inspiration, and I like him, but you are already a better vocalist. Own it, Sawyer. You will win the Voice. If there's any fairness or justice left in the world. You are a delightful young man, beautiful inside and out. I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed you already. Thank God for You Tube. Can't wait to get anything you put out. Grandma Glori Bright.
The best part of this particular video....has to be how Grandmother looked at you...then said, "Amazing". Sawyer is going to go down in history as a great American songwriter and performer....you mark my words. Best of the best to you and yours, Sawyer.
Oh my goodness. Another gem! Thank you, Mama Fredericks, for sharing this video. You have a beautiful family and have a raised and nurtured a very sweet, HUMBLE and soulful young man. I love how his brothers are so used to Sawyer's singing that they are playing video games. Giggle..
Sawyer I'm so proud of you congrats on winning the voice new you could do since those three chairs turned on the first note in I'm a man of constant sorrow
Your family is so supportive, and at least your brothers aren't mean to you like some can be. Of course they won't be interested in your hobbies all the time. They have their interests and lives too. I wish I grew up in a quiet family where everyone can just chill and be introspective.
I'm so happy you won. You deserved it. You worked hard your whole life for it and it finally paid off. I was with you from your first song. I knew you won straight from the beginning. You have a unique and amazing voice. Can't wait to see more from you!
I just want to give Grandma a big Hug! She love's Sawyers talent and knows the whole world sees Sawyers talent. Grandma your grandson is now a star! Sawyer hug your grandma! I see I post too much but i truelly love this kids talent. Only 2 artist in my life affected me so much,
It's brilliant that there's video of you when 12. You had no idea you'd win The Voice then did you Sawyer. Or did you? Was that your mom who said you're amazing? Such a tender moment in your home. I saw you in LA and you've come a long way! EddieB
I wanna hear you do For the Summer by Ray . :) You are awesome Sawyer, I know you are going straight to the top. I know it ! I saw it in a premonition .
Sawyer- Let me just tell you about how much I love you for a minute! You are going to go so far in life, and my mother and I are rooting for you on the voice!!!! You don't even know how much I love you!!!! If you could reply to me it would mean the world to me... You are a huge inspiration to my friends and I.... Even though I would never have the guys to be somewhat near as brave as you! I love you so, so much Sawyer! Good luck, and I hope you win the voice!!!!!!!!!
