Cute Kids Singing Country Songs – Rascal Flatts, ‘Bless the Broken Road’
Thirteen-year-old John-Robert Rimel hails from Edinburg, Va., a town of just over 1,000 residents, but his talent is definitely one in a million!
He's a small-town kid with a big voice -- in fact, Rimel has such an astounding sound that he appeared on 'Ellen' back in April after the comedienne saw him perform on YouTube. This is one very cute singer who has the ability to display emotion in his voice that is well beyond his years.
Rimel told Ellen he has a wide range of musical influences, from Bruno Mars to Michael Buble -- even Freddie Mercury. But he chose a hit country song by Rascal Flatts, 'Bless the Broken Road,' to showcase his incredible, clear and utterly gorgeous vocals, all while playing an acoustic guitar. Not only did he make his parents proud, but Rascal Flatts would no doubt be impressed by Rimel, too!
