  • Tears in my eyes burn, while i'm waitin' while i'm waitin' for my turn. Is it my turn yet?!?!?

  • Balboa--My invite to the CoffeeHouse performance got lost in the mail, too! Too bad, since I'm a big tipper!

  • Luv this... when are you gonna come out from the shadows, girl? Sounds great for a live performance. My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. I dunno 'bout you, but the rest of us are ready for you to go on tour... can't skip Hollywood ya know.

  • I absolutely love this song, but I can't quite pick out what the chords are... does anyone know where I might find the song with guitar chords? :)

  • @Meliawen Me I know if you want... bhla bhla bhla...

    check my ''one comment box'' on my (my?) channel... you will find the chords of Modern Barbie '' with the bridge ''... or ask at Reina... of course :''(

  • I hope you will doing concerts in 2010. To beef up your vocal cords. It's an important thing. (sorry, it's 4,30 am for me... and I don't know this verb '' beef up'' ... I hope that you understand me)

    Happy bhla bhla bhla... :-[

  • wow. you're amazing. this song is amazing! fantastic : -)

  • All your songs have great lyrics, well done!

  • everytime you say "modern barbie" my dog lifts his ears up! ^^ its so cute! xx

  • Marry Me. =)

  • I like this song, Easy one of your best.

    Did you get paid for that gig?

  • You seemed kind of nervous....but still did a good job! I like you and the camera better, but I'm sure you'll get better and better! You need to do the song "New Girlfriend" LIVE....I'm telling you, that is the song that will put you on the map. Good luck! :)

  • Wow i loke this song, its just amazing <3. The message is beautiful.

  • sooo cute! i REALLY LIKE IT!!! clever lyrics and wonderfully sung, preformed and written!

  • I'm pretty sure I know the poem that inspired this one. Barbie Doll - by Marge Piercy?? good stuff...

  • omfg...i love it! u r too much fun!

  • amazing lyrics! i could never come up with this. keep it going!

  • 50th Anniversary of Barbie! Hey Barbie! You bore me! I'd rather go out with Reina! Amused.....Martin

  • i see you got a big message here..theres a debate whether barbie is a bad role model. she is just a toy, i hope parents sets a good example to their kids and values of toys. toys gives children imaginations. i hope we dont blame these toys put the blame first at home and the parents.

  • Reina is not blaming a toy in this song she is writing about Barbie as a symbol of an industry that promotes a certain image and the indoctrination to accepting this image starts early -- i.e. a Toy called Barbie.

  • yeah so im saying the parents should be the one teaching kids values of whats important not the industry or any toys.

  • yeah so I didn't disagree with you there, I just said she is not blaming the toy.

  • I just wrote a paper on this. You're thinking too simplistically. Every part of society raises a person. Their friends, their enemies, teachers, television, relatives, literature, movies, music... every person, every experience, everything they see, everything they hear, EVERYTHING! And it all changes from land to land, place to place. Parental influence factor is like 20% at BEST! Usually it's less. That aphorism about it taking a village to raise a child is more true than most people realize.

  • of course, i didnt want to be complex all you said is true BUT everything starts at home from a 6 yrs old child first day at school with good loving parents , simple lesson goes a long way, child whose been nurtured,loved,from this they wil use it how to react to the outside world,the world will mould them this will root back, and so on, etc.

  • I wished I could have said it that well Melanie!

  • Aww, thanks Tommigril. After I read yours and bprizze's comments, I kind of decided to argue on your behalf, hehe.

  • But that thought is also as simple as just the The Just Say No program, yes I do believe that teaching the child is part of it.. But the blit z outside of the home is never ending. There is a whole industry built upon this belief system of a certain image that Barbie is just a small part of it. So in that sense it is good that someone puts words to what a lot of us agree with -- So kudo to Reina for this song!

  • teaching the kids just a part of it? i say its the whole thing. industries,companies in the end just want money they dont care if they set an example as long as its popular theyll do whatever it takes.its because we ourselves dont have direction as why we follow these idols and thats where parents comes in. parents plays a big role.all companies are like this,why nt mke sng for mcdonald?gijoe?parishilton?

  • Ok, the parents are to blame -- totally at fault!

  • If I can add my two cents worth to this thread. I thought Bratz dolls were all the rage. Bratz dolls have over sized heads and eyes. The Barbie doll was fashioned after a German doll the Bild Lilli. It is alarming that children were viewing the long legged and large chested Barbie as an idealized body form. If Barbie were a real person, her long legs would be freakish.. I think the best attractant for both sexes is some level of fitness, if you were so unkind as to separate the mind and body.

  • LOL! Bratz dolls also have no feet when I first seen them I about freaked. Actually Barbie is still going strong tho she probably has suffered from the economic collapse!

  • My friend's daughters have Barbies with the house and most of the accessories. He is multi-millionaire and you would have to be to afford all that crap. Hey, if the Bratz dolls have no feet, it would be one less thing to accessorize. I know little girls like to play dress-up, but at some point it becomes a race in the hoity toity. Yeah, I need an English professor like in 'My Fair Lady' to speak and act like nobility. As a low-born, I raise my center finger to you Lord Henry Higgins!

  • oops I mislead you Mr Low born, the shoes are the accessory. But when you take me off the doll, oops no feet! At least with the doll I saw.

    Well Barbie is probably in a lot of households or she would not be so popular. So afford or not, there she is!

  • She's a little sickening.

  • haha sorry, just to clear this lol this is like 6 months old thread but what the hey. I didnt say you are wrong about other factors teaching kids, I guess if the parents did all they could to do the right thing and still end up the way they are. then blame the world :) cheers

  • Bprizze:

    Huh, I didn't say blame the world, but WTH this thread is 6 months old and so lets just leave it at that -- an old thread, nothing clear about your reply here at all!.

  • ???? what the hell are you talking about? Im not starting anything here, I just thought to say you were right, I didnt say you said blame the world. It was my word mine. (geez I wasnt even trying to be a smart ass) ok old thread sorry.

  • ur lyrics amaze me in every one of your songs! Awesome simply awesome

  • i wish i came up with this song first D:

    great job, i'm jealous.

  • Hello Reina,

    your songs make me very glad, it is a pleasure to hear you.

    10 stars of me,

    Hartmut

  • WOW , All of your songs are really, really good!  Where can we come and see you perform live? I think you mostly play coffeehouses, but where and when is your schedule?

  • All I can say is Great!!! Brazil admire you

  • você sabe se ela tem cd ou um site dela algo assim?

  • You can really play rei. Beautiful voice that stirs the soul. Hard to listen to anything else lately except my veedon fleece tape. I would beg for more.

  • An audience prevented me from changing anything at short notice cause I couldnt think straight but that had no effect on you...as usual, a great job. I use to play a tenor sax but I also wanted to sing. Unfortunately, I found I had an inability to sing and blow at the same time...sigh.

  • Good message, I can tell you're a very traditional girl... I think your values will take you far in life, a strong work ethic and a belief that you can do anything a man can do, or another a girl.. or any other person, is a mentality that will allow you to do anything you want.

    It's okay to like how you look or prefer certain looks over others, just don't value yourself by how you look : ).

  • you are as awsome live as you are on youtube :O

  • BRAVO!

    BRAVISIMO!!!

  • you rule Reina!!

  • congratulations; another great performance... I enjoyed...

  • All of your songs are great. My favorites have been your collaboration of covers with tubagirl022 (Mamma Mia & The Scientist) and your originals of "Wonder", "The Sound of You", "Sirens" and "New Girlfriend." However, I find myself coming back multiple times a day to view this video. It appears that you were destined to perform before a live audience because you seem so natural. Great live performance.

  • jayrose17 provided me with the email address of SonyBMG. I will have to list it in segments to be able to get the address posted.

    (1.) 3w's (2.) dot (3.) sonymusic (4.) dot (5.) com (6.) forward slash (7.) about (8.) forward slash (9.) feedback

    (10.) dot (11.) php

    Thanks jayrose17. Lets join jayrose17 in this endeavor to get Reina the record contract she deserves. Please send an electronic message to the address listed above.

  • My names Ken *frowney face*... i think im a great catch anywho :P. Good song and a great performance. 5 stars.

  • You have such a natural presence in front of an audience. Many have to strive to achieve this ability and even then may never reach the level you seen to have. This is a great live performance. I have no doubt that you will have many more in the near future and in larger venues.

  • Fantastic!

  • YOU ARE AWESOME!I love how you sing I've see you songs and you are amazing, contienue like this...

    by the proud mexican boy

  • Way to go. Great sound. This video isn't nearly as jumpy!

  • Great song! LOL, reminds me of a former girlfriend.

  • i luv this song

  • I really love your lyrics. They do remind me of Alanis like that one poster said.

  • exelent XD !!!!

  • You have, great talent you know?

  • Talented like Alanis!

  • I've listened to all of your songs, at least 5-10 times.

  • i was wondering when you would reply to the posts on your songs. I thought you were like to busy to look after you fans.

  • She has a life I imagine. Give her a break.

  • lol very true.

  • Awesome exploration. Very well done.

  • Exploration - that's a good word for this song. Thanks!

  • Reina, I am stunned by your singing. You amazed me even more when you compose the song. Marvellous, and I will definately find time to play your songs on my class. :)

  • I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ye aint as good live compared to your recorded versions...recorded ones sound perfect but live seems like it needs work on your voice.

  • the way it sounds to me on this video is that the sound isn't too great.. the guitar is low and the voice is higher. I used to play live shows too, the sound guys weren't always that great. This is an awesome song/vid. Thanks for sharing your music, my gf and I found out about you yesterday, we're hooked.

  • YOUR MUSIC IS ADDICTIVE.

    I Just found about you today.

  • Love it. You're extremely talented.

  • Your lyrics are inspiring.

  • *aryan forever* (love u girl)

  • The fantastic words combined with an excellent singer and gorgeous girl makes this total WIN.

  • hah very true song vert honest!

  • hi, i really like your work, im more of a rock,punk, metal listener but i really like your work i wish you the best luck (again, i did it in come back over but there were so many messagges mine soon disappeared)

  • Very very good, I love to see people with messages behind their songs

  • now you just need to make a recording!i can tell you i will buy it.:) I hope you become famous one day!

    (greets from holland)

  • Hahaha... I love this song....

    B-but I like Ken.... ;-; -hugs Ken-

    (Better than that stupid ol' Blaine kid...)

    Love the song. C:

  • Awesome :)

  • Nice voice e really nice girl ^_^ 5 star

  • Such a brilliant performance!! Bravo, Reina!!! :)))))))))

  • SHe's way too talented to get famous. No joke, all of the famous people don't have much talent, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, Britney Spears, Madonna. All of them have no talent, and shine in the spotlight while talented people Like Reina and Nick Sterling get comments on youtube. Really, people with talent don't get famous, that's just the way it goes :/

  • what about michael jackson. hes talented and mad it huge, but of course if your famous you have something fucked up with you. if she want to make it big, she has to get in contact with the right people. wow am i stating the obvious

  • Jimi Hendrix is famous. Jimmy page is famous. Katy perry is famous. >.> its actualy quite random. it just depends on talking to the right people at the right time ect.

  • I meant currently. None of the big bands today have much talent, except maybe Avenged Sevenfold, and Secondhand Serenade and other random spurts of talent.

  • lol! barbie! LUV IT!! girl u r the best EVAH!!!!! are u still doing concerts? if so what state do u do em' in?

  • I love your music! I would love to see you live, but youtube has served you well...

  • yuo are so hot can i go out with you? lol nah, just wanted to tell you good luck and that im a fan =P

  • try and keep this as a hobby singing and dancing is nothing to build a society on.

  • Are you saying that there should be no professional entertainers in any society or just that you don't think she should be one of them??? I think she has a lot of potential but personaly I'm not a fan of the type of songs she sings!

  • Good question!

    I am not saying that she dont has talent, but las vegas is not the plase that creates the real wealth in America! But if america wants wars an finasial crysis regularly ...

  • cool, well I'm still not quite sure what your talking about with the wars an financial crisis, but sounds like you have some valid thoughts!

  • Nice JOB!

  • WOOOOOOT, YOUR AWESOME.!!

  • Such great songs! I think, you're doing a fantastic job. Keep it up and good luck in the future!

  • Muy vacana esa cancion,me gusto la letra, inteligente voy a cual es tu pagina en my space? Saludos desde Colombia!!!!!

    Don´t worry I do can understand what you sing.

  • Damn you just don't stop getting better, do you? God damn i can't beleive how good you are

  • You're beautiful, and your voice is amazing.

    :]

    I've been writing lyrics for quite some time and have wanted to join a band o,o....

    yeah... like I said, amazing voice.

  • good job.... your are a true musical artist... because you sound just as good live as you do on a clean perfect recording.

  • your voice reminds me of alanis morissette, you're very very good

  • Your awesome! keep up the good work.. it will soon pay off!

  • Very nice.I have heard a lot of female vocalists in my day and you are up towards the top. You write from the heart kind of like I do. Congrats you are really good. Keep doing what you do and some day you will reach the top. Good luck. Boomer.

  • All that I can say is Thank you, Thank You and f#@&ing Thank You this song rocks in the feminist spirit!

  • don't put labels on this song.

    don't you understand that's what it's against?

  • sorry about the vid response, I only meant to post the way I am cuz it sort of has a similar message

  • That is too awesome. Love your lyrics. You are amazing.. I'm sure I have said that before. Keep it up!!!

  • Hey that was amazing.

    You're lyrics are really powerful I LOVE THEM!

  • Fantastic!

    Just by coincidence this song was in my head today.

    Reina's honors:

    #88 - Most Discussed (Today) - Music

    #42 - Top Rated (Today) - Music

    Congratulations Reina!!!

  • Great job! Live is always harder, and you did well. I like that you focused on the audience, projected well, and smiled. You looked like you were having fun, and this always adds to the experience for the audience. Let us know when you start touring!

  • Hey Reina! Its late Sunday night over here - And you saved this tiring week at the last moment. Great performance of a beautiful song. You seem to be very comfortable in front of that audience. 5* once again :-) Hope to see you perform live some day. Have a beautiful week! A TransAtlanticWolf

  • #56 - Top Rated (Today) - Music

  • Congratulations, chica! That was awesome. Heh, it feels strange to have been able to listen before it went live -- because we can all hear it here on youtube as well. :D You did an excellent job.

  • Excellent job Reina!!! 5*'s

  • Excellent Like Always.

    DDR

  • Rally sweet Reina! Thanks for sharing this one.

  • The venue here looks a bit less cozy than a coffee shop performance. I am now convinced Reina didn't have a case of stage fright and actually had cold in her original song 'Chance' live performance which also was in front of a bigger audience. Reina appears and sounds totally at ease in this live performance of 'Modern Barbie' 5 Stars

  • Reina amiga,5*****

    Cool performance.

    Antonio

  • More congrats to you!

    Another one to remember fondly when you're a granny!

  • aw your voice is sooo gorgeous!! [= I love listening to you!!

  • hey cool we love you in canada

  • Very inspiring song and well performed!!!

    Hey ReinaDelCid
