Watch this wonderful video of 9-year-old viral sensation Claire Crosby singing the song ‘Easy On Me’ by Adele with her dad.
“There ain’t no gold in this river hat I’ve been washin’ my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters but I can’t bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence, baby, let me in, go easy on me, baby
I was still a child, didn’t get the chance to, feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do, so go easy on me”
What a fantastic performance! Claire sings with such emotion and passion, and the young girl has such great control of her voice. As she is singing next to her dad while he plays on the guitar, one can’t help but think about what a great bonding moment that must be for the two of them, making beautiful music together up on stage.
Claire Crosby started to sing at a very young age, and she became a YouTube sensation at just the age of three. Dave Crosby is her father and is the one that makes music videos of her to share online. And he shared about how their family first realized that Claire was a singer.
“Claire learned to talk at a super young age and we noticed really early on that she could carry a pitch. I remember some time after her first birthday, she was slamming her hands on our little keyboard in the living room. She started hitting the same note over and over, and then she began to sing the exact same note. I was sure at that moment that she was going to be able to sing,” Dave shared. “This led to an obsession with Disney songs. It started with Frozen, but we also introduced her to some of the classics: she absolutely fell in love with The Little Mermaid when we showed it to her. We bought ‘Part of Your World’ for her and she would request it whenever we drove around in the car. Pretty soon, she was singing the entire song word for word everywhere.”
Dave continued: “One day, I was getting an oil change and while I was paying, [Claire] suddenly burst out into the Little Mermaid song, walking around the waiting area and being so dramatic. It made everyone in the waiting room laugh and people were pulling out their cell phones and recording it. That gave me the idea to put a video on YouTube. A few months later, during Christmas break, we finally made our first video to the song from Little Mermaid.”
We hope that you enjoyed this video of Claire singing and it was able to brighten your day!
