Nothing melts the heart more than a child’s music.
It’s both lovely and endearing to see a child sing their heart out. And it may be pretty humiliating when they appear to be better than you in such instances. Even more wonderful is a kid performing a song that was written long before their time. It’s charming to think that their parents worked hard to inculcate in them their love and enthusiasm for music, keeping the most treasured hits alive generation after generation.
Consider Violet Burdick, a 5-year-old girl.
She recently wowed Ellen’s whole audience with her moving performance of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.”
Violet sang out the country song while her father accompanied her on guitar in front of the studio audience and the rest of the globe.
Ryan Burdick has long been recognized in Scio, New York, as a local musician. It seemed only natural that he would pass on his gift to his daughter.
Violet considers herself to be the biggest Dolly Parton fan, and she didn’t hesitate to tell DeGeneres so before bursting out into the 1974 classic.
And her version is really the cutest thing ever!

Violet’s debut on Ellen was the consequence of a viral brush with a celebrity and her family’s faith in her.
Violet has been invited to perform on stage with her father’s band, The Ruddy Well Band, several times. She sang Dolly Parton’s “Coat of Many Colors” during a concert when she was four, and the video received over one million views on Facebook.

Violet was captivated by the song and Parton’s narrative, explaining, “Dolly Parton grew up in a dirt-floor home with 11 siblings.” A church member handed down a bag of rags, which her mother stitched together to make a coat. Dolly was teased at school and explained, ‘This is Joseph’s coat of many colors from the Bible.’ You don’t understand. ”
Her father told the Daily Reporter:
“After seeing the movie, a seller who provides the Coats of Colors, which are sold at Dollywood, contacted us and offered to give Violet a coat.”
Another video was released to the Parton fan site, and it gained four million views!
Burdick’s band had to take a break owing to family obligations and the spread of the epidemic, but he continued to create music at home with his daughter.
Violet’s aunt, Erin, his sister, was the one who finally forwarded the viral footage to Ellen. The producers returned Violet’s phone hastily, trying to gain a position on an imminent program.
