Katie O Fan Thread


TeamAudra

Recommended Posts

From what I've gathered, Katie is 18 years old, and just graduated from high school a few months ago, but it appears as though she's has been performing live for many years. Her Youtube channel goes back more than 6 years. Most of her live performance videos are older, but there's plenty of evidence of great singing from a young age. I'll just post a couple here to show her versatility. Most of her covers are of the classic country variety. Here's a great Loretta Lynn cover (live performance) from 4 years ago. It's obvious Loretta Lynn is a favorite of hers, given the number of Loretta covers she has.

 

 

Here's one that proves that she can sing in a more modern style, from 2 years ago. I get Lainey Wilson vibes from her.

I usually just end up be pissed off, so

i don’t know why I even bother. :haha:

The show hasn't pissed me off in years because that would require me to actually care enough about the show to be pissed off because of it. It mostly just bores me.

On her TikTok, there are more recent live performances than what I saw in her YouTube. 
 

This is from May. 
 

This is from last November. 
 

This is from last October.

Here’s a Reba connection…
 

Here’s Katie singing “Does He Love You” with Linda Davis 3 years ago, at age 15. Davis recorded a duet of that song with Reba, and they won a Grammy for it. Katie hung in there with her too. They also performed together when Katie was 13.

Digging deep into her TikTok covers (which go on for many years), there’s a huge variety in her arsenal, of not only country, but an occasional non-country cover. Several years back, she dabbled heavily into bluegrass, and made it look effortless. This one from 4 years ago. 
 

What stands out the most as I go through her covers and live performance videos is nearly perfect pitch and enunciation, even on challenging uptempo songs such as that one. 
 

Based on the large number of covers she has, and how skilled she is on the guitar, I’m guessing she spends nearly every spare moment on music. 
 

So…she can pretty much do it all, and the challenge going forward will be to hone it down into a style of her own. As I mentioned earlier, she gives me Lainey Wilson vibes. Her Lainey covers are excellent too.

She is gonna be robbed, like Grace, but i'll try to focus on the positive for now. 👍

Added. 
 

There are some similarities to Grace, in terms of overlap of musical tastes, and gigging a lot in their teens. 
 

I ran across this podcast interview from 3 years ago, and another one from a couple of years prior. Everything is “yes sir” and “yes ma’am.” The interviewer said she’s the most polite 15 year old he’s ever met. If she does that on the show, she’ll have the audience eating out of her hand. Maybe not enough to win? But, won’t have trouble getting votes if she makes it to the lives.  Her personality is a huge asset.

One other thing I’ve noticed is she does a lot of private gigs. So, she’s actually been making an income with this for a while.

A few more…

 

I’ve seen a few Judds covers, and she does them well. They get covered a lot on the show. This is a couple years old. 
 

She has a lot of “Coal Miner’s Daughter” covers. This is the most recent one, from 2022. 
 

This Keith Whitley cover is great. From over a year ago.

Wow, i notice that she really loves country music and has so much appreciation and respect for the legends that paved the way for current country artists.  

 

She is definitely gonna slay some classics on the show, even though i'm sure she can slay some modern songs as well.

I’ll try to keep spoilers out of here for now, but maybe she’s a going away present for Reba. :haha: She’s practically her mini me…

I mean, Reba is obviously gonna turn for her, she is not gonna miss the chance to have a young country singer in her team that is this good. And as i stated before, Katie has such a deep respect for legends on country music, so her coach's pick seems extremely obvious.

I’ll take that a step further. Katie picking either Gwen, Snoop, or Michael over Reba would be the most shocking coach pick ever. LOL

 

Chevel picking Kelly over Blake was surprising, but not shocking, because Kelly has some country cred, and had just won the previous season with a teen. There is no such dynamic at play this time.

She has a fair amount of non-country covers, and if I had to pick a good one for the show, it would be one of these, and it’s not even close. These flips can be risky, but I think she’d definitely be safe with either of these. These are two of my favorite covers of hers. 
 

“Cotton Fields” - CCR 

 

“Three Little Birds” - Bob Marley
