The Next Johnny Cash?

When 15 year-old Vince Mira sings Johnny Cash's "Ring Of Fire", his voice goes down, down, down.

I first heard of Vince Mira on my morning radio station, Y100, in Green Bay, Wis. DJ "Bear" in the morning mentioned the talent of this young man & played him singing a JC song. Bear said to check out Vince on "Google", which I did right away.
Saw his performance on the Ellen Degeneress show.
Vince is an incredible young man with unstoppable talent, he will go far with a music career. I wish him the very best.
Also, "great gesture" to give him the Gibson Guitar, that was probably a dream come true.
Someday he will be able to have 100 of them, but he will always remember where the first one came from!
Sincerely, Donna

First of all Thank You Ellen, for giving this awesome talent the oppurtunity of being on your show. If I had'nt seen him with my own eyes, I would of never beleived that such a voice, was coming from this 15 yr. old. I can hardly wait to buy his first CD and for me personally he is a true Hispanic Pride! Love your show...and Vince Mira!!!!!

are you aware that you had such a great young man on your show? He is incredible!!! I think he has one heck of a career to look forward to. Please Ellen, bring him back. You can do so much for anyone's career. Help this guy get where he needs to go - he is so talented.

Dear Ellen, you are the BEST, having Vince Mira on your show is what was missing in my life!!! Oh my lord, this kid is sooooooooo gifted! No, not a teen here just and old person loving music! This is the second (let’s pretend that it is only the second) time that I listen to this young-man sing and still get the goose bumps! OK, I am not that old to know Johnny Cash but who cares, I so totally enjoy listening this kid sing!

Ellen you are the best!

People keep saying he sounds "just like Johnny Cash", which just isn't so. He sounds great, and he's got a future for sure, but this is a lot more of a tribute/cover than an outright impersonation.

His voice is outstanding and you have to keep reminding yourself it's coming from a 15-year-old kid. I hope to see and hear more from the incredibly gifted Mr. Mira in the future.

My son,Brady, who just turned 4 years old kept trying to sing the lyrics to this song, but I figure out where he had heard them. Once my husband heard Brady sing, he told me the rest of the lyrics I remembered watching the show with my son featuring the young man singing this song. I couldn't believe that he remembered part of the lyrics when only hearing them once (a few weeks ago at that!) I searched on the web page so my son could listen again. He just smiled and tried to sing along. This young man is truely amazing.
