After being named the runner-up in the singing competition, Leigh shared her thoughts with the St. Lois Post-Dispatch. “I feel like a winner, honestly,” she said. Leigh added, “I made it so close, closer than anyone in Missouri. I was the highest-finishing female on the show, and I’m a minor. Also, is was Reba’s first time. It wasn’t my destiny to win. I’m fine with that. It’s just a TV show. It is what it is.”

Leigh proved that she had powerful pipes on The Voice. However, the video she posted shows that she doesn’t need network television-level production to make her sound like a star. With just her her phone’s microphone, she delivered a goosebump-raising rendition of Cline’s timeless classic.

After delivering a spot-on cover of a classic country song, Leigh took a moment to speak to her followers. “There ya go! There’s a Patsy Cline song for ya. If you don’t know who I am, my name’s Ruby Leigh, I was runner-up on The Voice season 24, this season. It was pretty crazy and I know I had so many requests for Patsy Cline, so I just sang a Patsy Cline song,” she said. “I hope you liked it. Come see me on tour. I’m on tour this year, I’d love to see you. I have some dates posted already.” Before signing off, she promised, “More music to come.”
