LeAnn Rimes
When Bill Mack, a Dallas disc jockey and record promoter, met Rimes, he was so impressed by her talents, he took her under his wing and began cultivating a plan to break her into the mainstream. The cornerstone of Mack's plan was a song called Blue, which he had written in the '60s. Mack claimed that he had written the tune for Patsy Cline, but she had died before she was able to record the song. In 1996, Rimes burst out of nowhere with her debut single, Blue, which immediately captured the attention of country fans across America. It wasn't just the fact that her rich, powerful vocals were remarkably similar to Patsy Cline — it was the fact that Rimes was only 13 years old. At the age of 14, LeAnn Rimes became the youngest person to ever win a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1997. Her first album sold more than 8 million copies bursting her into instant stardom.

LeAnn Rimes first big hit "Blue" was originally written for Patsy Cline, but she was killed before she could record it. The songwriter, Bill Mack, claimed he would never give the song to anybody else until he found the right voice for it. Many years later, he heard LeAnn, who was about 15 or 16 when she recorded "Blue".

Don't know about teen queen, but for along time LeeAnn Rimes was compared to Patsy. She is in her twenties tho. I personally don't see where she sounds anything like Patsy. There is a uniqueness to Patsy Cline and LeeAnn just doesn't have it.
