The song “Can’t Help Falling in Love” was featured in Elvis Presley’s 1961 film, ‘Blue Hawaii.’ It became such a hit that a lot of other artists decided to record it like the Swedish pop group A-Teens, and the British reggae group UB40, whose 1993 version topped the US and UK charts.

Without further ado, Claire Crosby!
The then 6-year-old girl started her performance by singing the first few lines of the song, not only was she good, but she also knew when to time it with her ukelele. Her voice was raw yet very pleasing to the ears and she was also on point with her tone.
Claire also knew how to project to the camera which totally makes sense because of her experience as an actress. On top of her undeniable singing skills, her innocence, and charm are irresistible to the point that you wouldn’t want to take your full attention off of her.
She was definitely with the song, with her eyes closed, you’d definitely feel the passion and dedication of this young girl to her craft.
Even the high notes didn’t bother her.
Claire didn’t shy away from belting the high notes of the Elvis Presley classic. Her falsetto was flawlessly beautiful, isn’t she amazing? Her song is the perfect definition of short but sweet.
This talented girl is now 10 years old and she is still pursuing her career as a young singer. In fact, Claire and her dad are the special guests in “Christmas Together”, a show by the musical duo Mat and Savanna Shaw which will be on December 22 and 23 at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City, Utah.
