Teen rises to fame channeling Johnny Cash

Discovered singing on a Seattle street, Vince Mira, 15, is a somewhat shy kid who looks uncomfortable during a TV interview. But when he steps up to the microphone to sing Johnny Cash's classic "Ring of Fire," the result is downright spooky. He performs the song in this Good Morning America segment.

I'm not too much of a believer in channelers and this unpretentious fifteen year old kid does admit that after his voice changed, he began to develop his impression of Johnny Cash.

However, when the boy sings and plays the guitar, you might just be convinced that the maybe there is something to channeling.

As impressive as he is, I will admit that there are some differences of vocal style between the two, but it is also kind of comforting to hear someone bring to life the music of such a legendary performer.

Wow!!!!

What a voice! Yeah, he's a kid 15 and sounds like a man. Very good voice he has. He did awesome on that song!

You are all right, that kid is really something.
He defently will have a good nest alga act. I think most might agree that he will need to start singing his own songs at some point. Weather they be his own writing or that of song writers.

Wow amazing voice, He looks so sweet as well, and goodness that voice!

Hopefully he gets the right Agents to help him further his dream!

Junior Brown and Merle Haggard both have the ability to mimic other singers and do so to great effect, while both have distinct styles of their own.

This kid has such talent that I doubt that he will have a problem developing his own style and may even learn to do other great singers as well.

I wish him the best and I believe his greatest asset at this time is his poise and presence during his performance. Many talented musicians never learn those skills.
