Sounds Like: That's a hard one...so many people have told me that I sound like JULIE! And I hope they're right! But as for sounding like someone you'd recognize, I'm often told I sound like Dolly, Emmy and Alison Krauss....but I say NO ONE can sound like them! ESPECIALLY little Ole ME! But it's very interesting that people can actually hear my biggest influences in my voice! Guess all the money on those records, then cassettes, then CD's were well worht it! It rubbed off! ha MAN...saying records and cassettes really ages me, huh??? Did I mention I'm 12??? ha
