Loretta Lynn's Granddaughter Emmy Russell Sings 'American Idol' Song on Late Grandma's Birthday

Emmy Russell is continuing to wow “American Idol” viewers. The country singer, 25, sang her original song, “Want You,” for her Top 20 performance on the singing competition show on April 14. Many fans praised Russell’s vocals and songwriting, with one fan calling her “authentic and timeless.” “This performance is like a painting,” the fan commented on the official YouTube video of her performance. “She’s got soul. What a songwriter too.

'Loretta told all who would listen that Emmy had something special and now the world is seeing for themselves,' the caption concluded. 'Congrats, Emmy!” This wasn’t the first time Russell sang a song she wrote herself on “Idol.” She also auditioned with a poignant original song called “Skinny,” which is about dealing with an eating disorder. Her latest song, “Want You,” seemed to be about unrequited love, and wanting someone more than they want you.
