Carley Rose Sonenclar disagrees.

Well, I hadn't heard of her so I youtubed. Yes, she's a good singer, but I suspect that if that same voice were coming out of an adult she wouldn't be considered anything special. I youtubed her singing Adele's "Rolling in the Deep". Adele is a great singer. Close your eyes and listen to the two versions. Only one passes the greatness test. I also youtubed "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"... it cracks and doesn't flow well. Over time and with practice and training she might become one of the greats... who knows... but I agree with the earlier poster who said Leann Rimes was better.
