Let It Rain: Chad’s Country-Fried YouTube Cover of the Week [Video]
Uh . . . this girl is good. Ya'll know I am a huge fan of David Nail's voice and it takes a voice like David's to really do justice to songs like 'Turning Home," "Red Light," and his latest, 'The Sound of a Million Dreams." I was looking around YouTube for this week's "Country-Fried" Cover and stumbled across Hayley Stayner doing a cover of David's hit song "Let It Rain." And she does just that! Hayley has a GREAT voice and lets it rain all over this song. LISTEN!
I know, right?? Hayley has some mad chops. In fact, those mad chops got her onto the first season of The X-Factor, where she made the Top 60 at boot camp. Hayley was cut just before the "Judges' Homes" episodes. But Top 60 isn't bad . . . at all.
For me, Hayley looks a little like Katherine McPhee, American Idol Season 5 runner-up. And I love her voice, especially the way she floats in and out of head voice much the way McPhee did when she battled her way to the Idol finale.
Hayley has a channel on YouTube and performs covers of everyone from Adele to Jake Owen to The Civil Wars. She has a CD called Are You Listening Tennessee and it is available for purchase on ITunes.
What do you think of Hayley and this week's "Country-Fried" YouTube Cover of the Week?
