![Bobbi Kristina Hospitalized -- Whitney Houston's Daughter Rushed to the Hospital [UPDATE]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/13/0213-whitney-hero-2-248x127.jpg)
Country legend and sometimes train wreck
Tanya Tucker was a long way from Tuckerville last night. Our cameras caught the singer with her daughter Layla at Mr. Chow.
The 8-year-old songbird was encouraged by Mama Tucker to sing a little ditty. Like a good girl with refined Southern manners, she spit her gum into mama's hand and obliged. Ding dang, y'all!
Too bad Brit Brit wasn't there to see how it's done.

Tanya should be encouraging her daughter to go on to college, not Hollyweird. Her daughter is super cute and talented, but then again so was Lindsay, Britney, Vanessa, etc.... enough said.

Now that kid can sing, but Tanya, don't push your kids into the biz! Look at how you ended up, and all these idiots loke Lohan, and Spears.

Tanya Tucker has one of the very best voices EVER, and we should hear more from her. She has such a unique style, and I wish she was still out there, I think she has a lot of this Country Gals who sing Pop beat. Tanya Tucker was Pure Country and she was so good at it. Please Tayna get out there again, and show these Quasi Country singers how it is done. And yes you had your share of problems but you were never a phony!!!!!!!

This little gal's so good, I think I'll have her sing the lead Angel in our School Christmas play.
Or else I'll rap her Momma's knuckles with my yardstick.

Loved the show when it was on, Love all of them. Didn't think Tanya would be alive this long, she is survivor for sure.
In so far as the girls going to College as one post mentioned, If they can make a living doing something in the entertainment realm then more power to them.
We have enough degrees with no common sense and or decent jobs for now. Those degree's have also brought the entertainment industry down to what it today, a joke.

They both look so adorable. This is something Britney needs to do and that is to spend quality time with her kids.

Sweet little girl and such a proud mommy there. I think nothing refreshes the soul and makes one feel whole like parenting a child and I think the most satisfying moments and greatest pleasures of selfish delight is when we are given an opportunity to gloat over our children. Tanya certainly seems to delight in gloating over her children.

I knew of Tanya when she was a little girl in Arizona. She would belt out a song anytime anywhere. It makes my heart warm to see you now and how good things have turned out. Layla is someone to be proud of. Chip off the block, I'd say.
And thank you Tanya for carrying your country ways with grace.
I still enjoy your music.
