Tanya Tucker Passes the Torch

Posted Sep 14th 2007 11:40AM by TMZ Staff

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.

19. Great job, Layla! You sound like your mom and SHE is one of the best country singers EVER!

I have always loved Tanya Tucker and I, too, wish she would record again. I'd buy her new CD in a heartbeat....

20. It was great to be standing next to Tanya Tucker and hear her daughter Layla sing! She has a wonderful voice. I'm the tall good looking guy to Tanya's right. I had a fun time at Mr. Chow's. The food was great as always.

22. TANYA TUCKER WAS A SUPERSTAR AT 13 AND SHE IS STILL A SUPERSTAR. SHE IS A UNIQUE SINGER AND PERFORMER AND HAS THE TALENT TO CAPTIVATE HER AUDIENCES. ALL OF TANYA'S CHILDREN HAVE BEAUTIFUL VOICES AND IT LOOKS LIKE LAYLA IS GOING TO FOLLOW IN TANYA'S FOOTSTEPS, WHICH IS A GOOD THING. SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL CHILD WITH A GREAT VOICE AND WITH TANYA'S HELP SHE SHOULD GO FAR IN THE BUSINESS. TANYA IS A GREAT MOM AND I'M SURE SHE WILL GUIDE HER CHILDREN IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION SO THEY DON'T END UP IN TROUBLE LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER YOUNG SINGERS HAVE. KATHY GOSS

24. So Richard, her drug dealer is noticeably standing next to her and you are proud to be there? I bet you did have fun at Mr. Chow's. You can also get a quick qlimpse of her temper/anger/extreme disappointment in her face when Layla did not sing right away. That baby should not be exploited at such a young age. Tanya is STILL a trainwreck. Just look at her. There is a lot more behind the scenes that will surface one day. She's just not nearly as popular than Britney, but she needs to have her kids taken away from her. asap.
