Honestly, Im blown away at the sheer quality of all these REALLY young musicians on the internet. These guys and Abby are no exception. Unreal how the floor has risen since the 80's
Well, thats because in the 80's Music as a career was still very much frowned upon. You Had the *Stop dreaming and get a real Job* Crowd Go really flippin strong Back then. Nowadays even tho the amount of musicans Kinda multiplied itself, Its alot less of a weird Fantasy and became a respectable Dream more and more.
In my experience anyway.
I'm 59 and grew up on this music. Love seeing the younger generation bringing rock back.
Yes there is still hope
But she's like 22 now this video is 10 years old she might not be able to sing like this anymore. Hope she can and is still singing
I'm 61 and WORE OUT my Heart cassette! There IS hope for (some of) the younger generations after all!
I'm 57 so I can also relate. The kid with the Zep T-Shirt was a nice touch.
You old fellas are walking around with your eyes closed if you think rock ever went away. So it's not on your tv, cool story, it never left the clubs, pubs and stadiums. That said I totally understand somebody in their 50s probably isn't spending too much time in the rock venues so no hate meant, just calling out the BS in the statement itself.
The drummer impressed me. Solid play and doing just what she's supposed to , not getting away from the songs structure. Girl, if you read this, know that you don't get enough credit and keep playing. I'll see your name soon on credits.
Hey Gilbert, my name is Rick , I'm from the Tampa , FL area and I've been playing drums almost 40 year's most drummer's don't get much attention these days unless they have monster size dim kits and blaze through 7bpm. BLAST Beats.. which is ridiculous. My advice is for a drummer to look out into the audience.. are they dancing? Bopping? Smiling and having a good time? If so, as I can tell I must then be doing my job! Bravo kids.. Great job!
Sorry I needed to make a correction regarding 7 + bps (beats per Second) BLAST BEATS..
I agree
Great job everyone🎉
No Ann Wilson but good.
You listen to this and are amazed that Abby was just 12 when she sang here. Then you realize the rest of the band played so well that you almost forget they were a group of kids, too.
Definitely a great job all around.
Little one’s got powerful range, I see a budding Rock Star on stage!🙌🏼
She either made it, or she's a has-been by now.
@@downstrike3855 not a has-been czcams.com/video/pp26VKuPgrg/video.html
This girl needs to be on America's Got Talent. She's a real talent.
She's not a little girl anymore she's in her 20's
Someone named David Weaver wrote in the comment section that she is now a nursing student attending Georgia Mason University and that the cancer patient that she dedicated most of these videos to is now a relatively healthy 15 year old.
the voice!!
The drummer is the talent here
Are u freaken kidding me, this 12 year old is amazing & so are thecrestvof the band.
She either made it, or she's a has-been by now.
I loved Barracuda as a child. That little girl CRUSHED IT!!
I am 58 years old and this is the 🎸 Rock is what I grew up on!! Everyone of you in this band are ROCKING IT!! Keep it going you guys!! LOVE LOVE IT!
I agree that the drummer was the real star.
Abby Miller for a 12 year old amazing voice and stage presence
On Barracuda by Heart. She has without a doubt a future in rock n roll!!!!
That drummer absolutely killed it!
The whole band rocks!! Great vocals and instruments! She nailed the Vocals
I wish this band the best. Very talented young people. The drummer outstanding. The 12 year old girl just fantastic. Would love to see their stars rise💯❤️⭐️

Only 12 years old and a solid voice like that...back then???!!! I wonder what she sounds like now that she's all grown up? I need to hear more of her stuff!
She is a natural. So comfortable on the stage and her voice is pretty damn good for 12 years old. Be interesting to see her in about 9 more years.. Hope she continues this journey!
That was AWESOME!!! Words can not describe the passion with which this song was played and sung! Band y'all were Great, but the little girl will no doubt carry that group to heights beyond the imagination!
This girl Ooozzzzes confidence, she loves singing.
Way to go, awesome great job keep it up " Virginia Kids Rock " I'm 60 years old I've got my 10 year old granddaughter listening to Heart, Areosmith, all of the bands I grew up on.
I'm 52 and a classic rock fanatic. Not only a great voice at 12 but also a good band
I saw heart in the 80s and seeing this video I can't believe how great you sang it and your band sounded great too. You have s future as a Rock in Roll band.
My son sings "paint it black" he was 12 when he started. This girl is just incredible. I closed my eyes
Love to hear that. Blue on Black is one of the best ever.
I love-love this!!! I saw Heart in concert!!! Great memories
God bless you, wow... very impressive...Just remember,Jesus loves you. Rock on lil ones
This song is 40 years old and keeps getting better
Great stage presents and she sounds great hope to see and hear more about her as she grows up
Great singer! It's nice to see she is having so much joy and fun up there. This is like the best music video that I have watched in a long time. Well it feels like that anyway at the moment that I am typing this. I have my computer hooked up to a Carver amp and JBL tower speakers and I was vibrating the walls with this one. Thanks for making the video.
Makes me glad in my heart to see youth gravitate to sounds of my youth.
Fan-freakin'-tastic!!! I see nothing but a bright future for this young girl.

good job done by everyone. thumbs up
So cool to see young kids rocking with talent. I Love Heart and this gal nailed it!
Awesome guys! Great job!!!
You are all very blessed!
What a beautiful personality to match that incredibly beautiful voice. Amazing to see such confidence at 12 years old...
10YEARS AGO, wow, I'll have to look her up and see what her 22yr old self is doing with that voice! That was fantastic🤘
She is cute!!!!
I've never heard that song done any better!!!! Shes a rocking roller for sure!!!!! Awesome job!!!!!!!!!
just happened to catch this vid am 60 plus yrs & still rockin LOL was very refreshing to see young people with a passion for music not to mention the kid with the led zep shirt practice will make you a master rock on
What a talented bunch of kids!! Awesome all of you!!
All missing the point, I'm not sure why Ytube gave me this recommendation, but you're looking at the wrong girl...the young woman playing the drums is killing it..Michael Derosier, the original drummer, was brilliant, most cover/tribute bands drummers muck up this tune,I've drummed on over 40 records, sometimes w/ great female singers, good for you kid you have chops, feel, swing and power & play in odd time. Keep Drumming, we'll hear your name one day, fantastic job..put HER name up
Madie McCormack is her name....according to the info at the top. I totally agree with you. Abby can sing, but Madie is really doing an awesome job on the drums....little powerhouse!
L
Keep on rocking abby at 12 you are already a good singer
Whoever mixed it killed it.
your right drummer better then singer by far
I'm impressed with her poise on stage, really appreciate the fact she doesn't tap the microphone with her fingers, that's sooo amateurish. Confidence on stage is a huge part of success.
I watch this video once a day. Positive energy!!! She is having more fun than any "rock star" !!!
Very very well done!! Superb singer and great musicians with her!
Lets hear it for the drummer
Your not the only one that noticed.
Never lost a beat that I could tell. All them were impressive considering that song was written close to before they were born if not more. 🕶️
Awesoe
Lovely she rocks
Exactly what I was thinking! (Not taking anything away from the singer)
She probably picked one of the hardest songs ever to sing.
I LOVE seeing this younger generation loving rock and roll.
Wow! Amazing. Love when young ppl sing old school rock. Real music
Imagine hearing that voice come out of your 12 year old kid? "There's my retirement".
This was amazing. Kudos to all. The drummer is on.
This girl has an amazing set of pipes. I love it when kids cover 80's rock. The drummer is amazing as well.
Wow!! All Fantastic!!
WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! THAT GIRL CAN FREAKIN SING!!!!!
"I was in awe..."
That's how I feel. Abby leaves me in awe every time she sings.
Beautiful job (beautiful smile)!
Big fan of Ann and Nancy here, great job! 61 here and glad to see the younger generation appreciating great music.
I have seen Heart live twice back in the day and she nailed it! Amazing!!!
Wow!!! Abby did great at singing a classic song. Abby has an awesome voice. Abby has a very special strong voice for a 12 yr old
Warms my heart (no pun intended) to see these kids have an interest in the great bands and music instead of the mindless crap ( rimes with ) that passes for.....ahhh anyway outstanding performance BRAVO!!!
Yeah I'm 54 & love THIS..She can SING...GO AHEAD & ROCK GIRL!
There are all.so cool!
Abby, what a stellar vocal performance, I'm in shock and awe at your level of talent at the age of 12. I had the privilege of actually seeing Ann Wilson and Heart perform many times back in 1974 when they were first coming out as unknowns. They used to perform at the Dungeon Night Club in Port Coquitlam, B.C. Canada and I would drop in and watch them. Ann Wilson was very good at this time in her career but I must say that you Abby, at the age of 12 had just as much talent as she did at that point. I have just subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing your evolution as a performer. I am wishing you all the best from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Arthur Lealke Abby is quite good, and needs constructive criticism and encouragement...her potential is enormous. If she follows thru with a disciplined mentor and an uninhibited spontaneity, would like to see her performances in 5-6 years. I also had the opportunity to witness Heart in their early New Westminster/Vancouver days at the Royal Towers club. Sometimes you can see the future. We knew even then that they were far more than a LZ knockoff band, but we always looked forward to hearing Stairway To Heaven. Abby, stay focussed and you will join the stars. Just realized this vid is 10+ years old... hahaha.hope you’ve followed your dreams, hon!
When these kids get a little more experience, they are going to be awesome! I see very bright futures for all
Ok, now its now 2020. What are they all doing NOW?
@@KnockOffBeingFat My thought as well. It's been 10 years.

@@KnockOffBeingFat Probably listening to Cardi B
They are wonderful
Wow. Pretty amazing. Drummer, too. Cool to see such natural, relaxed stage presence and crazy talent, too. Awesome.
God damn.Ann and Nancy would be damn proud of this band and this young lady.she did one hell of a job and she has a future in music.well done and hat off to you all
Stop swearing Jakass
Expand your vocabulary. You can do it.... I think.
Abby is like 23 years old now, hope she kept practicing what a voice!! ☺️👍
Based on her channel's videos, it looks like she stopped regular uploads when she finished high school, did a handful of apperances and fundraisers over the next couple of years, then dropped off the scene entirely.
They are all kicking butt! I am 71.
Love to see kids rockin! Great voice and band! Wish I could play like that at that age. KE EP ROCKIN!
12 years old at the time???? How can anybody diss that performance??? In this day and age of studio manipulation and autotune, I think she nailed it and would have paid to hear the band. The judges had it right. Don't know what she's doing now. I bet the Wilson sisters would be impressed.
100%
Giving some credit to the band, but this a voice to listen for.
NOpe guess again, like someone said in the comments shes a nurse now , she didnt do anything with the music thing
It's so cool watching these kids perform the music I grew up listening to. Great job guys!
Fabulous! Superb! Joy to listen to this beauty music!!
She did an awesome job! That is a vocal buster!
Love to see kids who probably were living for music, dreaming of being rock stars. I see Abby was still singing in 2017. I know from posts she is in nursing school. I wonder about the guitar players and the drummer, if they kept their passion or moved on.
Cool! Remembering Heart in 2020!
Great singer and a huge huge 👏👏 to the drummer who nailed this spot on
Ann would be proud of you young lady, blessings.
Madie McCormack, she just kills it on the drums // Abby Miller, 100% amazing btw the band is flippen great
So cool.Old souls killin it on old school rock!
Awesome ! The entire band is amazing !
Abby, you need to try out for a Got Talent show, The Voice or Idol. You are absolutely outstanding. It should be impossible for a 12-year-old to do what you did but, here is the proof. That was outstanding. Edit to add: I can't believe I am 10 1/2 years late to seeing this video.
She won't win she one, she can sing two, she's does not have a handicap
This showed up on my feed today. Abby you have an incredible voice!!! This song is very hard to sing and you nailed it. I sang in bands for years in my late teens, early twenties and I never attempted this one. I see this video is from 2009 so I truly hope you are still kicking azz now. Well done 💜🎼🎵🎶
You got it girl!! Awesome!! never quit music!!!!
GREAT JOB!! Great to see youngsters getting it done! Keep it up all and be proud of what you have accomplished.
Amazing voice! Amazing Covers! Now to find a way to get this to my iPod!
My Lord, the older I get the younger these kids look. The girl has an amazing voice. Some voice lessons and she will be a star.

Amazing band, great singing. 💜🤘🏿💜
Awesome hearts was 1 of my favs
I saw Heart play this in the 70's and these young peeps do a pretty decent cover of it.
Ditto!!!!!!!!!
That girl was born to sing! daamn
Brilliant performance! *****
What a great voice! Delightful!
Excellent stage presence!
You all were terrific,
I love how the girl is on the drums
CZcams: watch this bunch of kids from 10 years ago playing Barracuda
Me: why not.....holy sh*t..best live band I’ve seen in ages, where are they now?
This young woman is killing this truly classic rock song.
Rock on. One of my favorite songs of all time
I give kids a lot of crap for their inexperience, but this brings a tear to my eye. Thanks for warming my cold heart. Pun intended.
holy mother Theresa! this gives me chills and bringing me back to my years of listening to Heart! just awesome!
Showed in my feed 2day over 10 years later. Great job everyone. Awesome seeing Ya'll keep Classic Rock alive, LIVE !!! What are you all doing these days ? Rock On !!!

@@CMissShelleyMichelle that is really awesome !!! To be in a GREAT band in your teens with Great friends is a dream, but then to go on and give back to humanity caring for others is stellar !!! I hope they are all doing very very well in 2020 & beyond 👍
Talk about a set of pipes for a 12 year old gal, wife and I enjoyed this very much, just by chance discovered her and the band, saw Heart live in 1977 at the myriad in OKC while in college, been a fan ever since.
she's freakin awesome
as a guy i wish i had chops like that
wow, that was good!
Uuy
Jyt
Wow!! I loved it!! That was unbelievable!
Excellent job. The entire group 👍
