Re: Taylor Swift Live Daily Contest

[TheRedStarburst]

I love it!! I kinda want to learn the ukulele now haha!

[nashoops]

beautiful!

[daplayer]

the Uke makes you cuter!

[JemiNlexStories]

its so good

[CakeLordington]

nice voice nice ukalaly are you hawian love ya

[3milyn1]

Heey :] u did so good! :] Thanks for the chords too! btw, do you think you can tell me the order of ur strumming/picking please?

[eduardocastelli]

you are very good!! congrats!!

your voice is too similar taylor's voice

[smileyvfkgirlss]

wow you did wonderful if i were taylor i would have picked you!

[may1398]

What did u tune your uke to

What notes

and by the way this is great

way better than others that i heard

[adriel9607]

how do you do the plucking?

[krazzykrystal]

You're better then Taylor Swift!!!!! :)

[creativecompanion]

You won it in my book!

[twolgt76]

wow. that's good. do you have the chords for this song and love story? Especially the intro?

[teamcristina]

Thanks! The chords are C, F, Am, G and Bb. The intro and verses are C-F-Am-F, the chorus is C-Am-F-G and the bridge is Am-G-F twice and then C-G-F-Bb. I'm not sure about "Love Story," but I bet that'd be super easy to find online!

[iluvdancin]

~Wow! Best own version I've heard, it's great! Well done, keep up the good work :)

[teamcristina]

Thank you so much!

[paigeandhalieeshow]

:C not so good...

[yinyanglove]

What kind of ukulele do you play? I can see that it's a Lanikai, but I'm trying to find a new ukulele and I really like yours. :D

Also, you play really smoothly...no buzzing at all. Fantastic!

[teamcristina]

Hi! Thanks so much!

All I know about my ukulele is that it's a Lanikai electric/acoustic concert uke and that I'm really happy with it. My recommendation, though, is if you live somewhere close to a few music stores, try out everything they have that looks cool to you!

[imightjustbefunny]

Tabs?

Pleasepleaseplease?

[teamcristina]

Sorry! I meant to respond to this earlier. I don't know how to put tabs as YouTube comments, but the chords are just C, F, Am and G in different patterns except in the bridge where there's also a Bb. The verses are C-F-Am-F, the chorus is C-Am-F-G and the bridge is Am-G-F twice and then C-G-F-Bb. If you need help with chord shapes, there's a good chart (that YouTube won't let me link here!). It's the first thing when you google "ukulele chord chart," though.

[pianoviolas]

ur good .............

[teamcristina]

Thank you!

[pianoviolas]

ur welcomeed ...

[HM428]

your good

p.s. you have a big head. i mean that in a good way. whati am trying to say is your really smart

[TheWhiteStripes3]

Haha, maybe her head looks big to you because she hypnotized you with her playing and you forgot that that's a ukulele, not a guitar.

[may1398]

this is so beautiful

[teamcristina]

Thank you!

[leoriches]

wow. this is really good! i love it cos its so unique :D good luck with future projects!

[teamcristina]

Thank you so much!

[teamcristina]

Thank you!

[janarulez875]

That was pure awesomeness!

[teamcristina]

Thank you so much!

[oneroaivananicole]

wow

[teamcristina]

Thank you, I think! Unless that was a "wow" of disgust, then sorry!

[oneroaivananicole]

no it was a good 'wow'..as in your an amazing singer =]

[sydneylb1231234]

you are amazing

[teamcristina]

Wow, thank you!

[MorganTeaJ]

Honestly, when I saw you, you looked like that animated character off of Coraline (a bit older though!) :)

You sang it perfectly!

[teamcristina]

Ha! Cool! I loved that movie, and it kind of made me want to put some blue in my hair. Thanks so much!

[randomness2304]

u shudda won!

[teamcristina]

Aw! Thank you!

[eyore4eva08]

thats real good , love ur shirt ,r u hawian? and ur real good lol

[teamcristina]

Thank you! I'm not Hawaiian, though I'd love to visit someday! My family is actually Filipino (and a little bit Spanish if you trace back far enough).

[sideways85]

wow your voice is really pleasing. Even when your just taliking...you should be on the radio because you just have one of those voices :) Great job!

[teamcristina]

That's sweet and would be so cool! Thank you! Though, it's funny you say that because in one of the bands that I'm in, Connecticut Four, I primarily do a lot of raspy screaming!

[ibondelonge182]

ur doing great

[teamcristina]

Thanks!

[magnacircenses]

Thats amazing, I know others have told you this, but you could give Taylor Swift a run for her money! Most non-country people cant sing country but you pulled it off. REALLY REALLY WELL! Seriously, you should audition for something, I haven't looked at all the auditions for this thing yet but I'll try to post something else to see how you go up against the others!

[teamcristina]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much!

[jlillo52]

good work keep it up

[teamcristina]

Thanks so much!

[QuinnElizK]

lovely!

[teamcristina]

Thank you!

[sophizzlexoxo]

omg- you have a better voice than taylor... its so soothing and current. so good!

how long did it take you to learn how to play?

[teamcristina]

Jeez! I don't know about that, but thanks so much! The ukulele is something I picked up on a whim, but I bought a great instructional songbook with it and was playing songs by the time I got to my car from the store (seriously). I still only know basics, but it's amazing what you can do with those basics!

[klifer89]

Dr Pepper rules :D

[teamcristina]

Yeah!

[noiovulevonsavuar]

I don't know what you said but i like your voice..... bye

[teamcristina]

Um... Thank you?!

[Zinuh]

Wow.

Beautiful.

[teamcristina]

Thank you!

[angelpixieprincess]

whats the chords?? please tell me!!

[teamcristina]

The chords are mostly just C, F, Am and G in assorted patterns. The verses are C-F-Am-F, the chorus is C-Am-F-G and the bridge is Am-G-F twice and then C-G-F-Bb.

[xOMGxEMUx]

your an amazing singer/musician and your beautiful :D

[teamcristina]

Thank you so much!

[kafooxD]

i really wanna watch the video with taylor swift talking about the livedaily contest , but it's priivate . any help how to watch it ?

[teamcristina]

I have no idea how you might be able to watch that video now. I think they don't even have it up on the livedaily site anymore... All it was, though, was her in one of her cool sparkly dresses telling you how to enter the contest, so I promise you aren't missing too much.

[kafooxD]

thank you . (:

only her and 25 other people can

watch it . :D

but thnx !

[storkyman]

i bet you like 2 years from now she will be famous

[teamcristina]

Aw, thank you!

[skullcandy1295]

You're cute

[teamcristina]

Thanks!

[heydrea576]

this is amazing...im learning how to play the guitar lol

[teamcristina]

Thank you! That is awesome! Learning to play the guitar was one of the best things I ever could have done for myself, so I'm excited for you!

[jack30474]

Wow you are gorgeous!

[teamcristina]

Thank you!

[CaLiStAheartsinging]

that was great! :)

[teamcristina]

Thanks so much!

[ProWings79]

Hey Cristina! when i made reference to you looking like my friend's sister... i also meant to add his name was dre.

[teamcristina]

[noraaabeee]

[teamcristina]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[yinyanglove]

Wow, nice work.

I love how upbeat this is, it really brings a new feel to the song. :)

Plus the ukulele is just pure awesomeness. :D

Great job!

[teamcristina]

Thanks so much! I'm really into ukulele covers of songs that you don't usually think of being played on ukulele.

[musicaloy55]

WoW you've got a nice tone there! KeeP it Up!

[teamcristina]

Thank you!

[MarieRoxs0711]

[hy3m33]

i have a lanikai ukulele too! only i think mine's the cheapest one out there, haha. i really liked your video. you have a good voice for country!

[teamcristina]

Thanks so much! I don't really sing a lot of country typically, but I really enjoy Taylor Swift and I'm broadening my tastes these days. Also, I just saw that you have a video for "Love Story" up that I should go check out!

[joanne1111367]

amazing! you have a great voice and u play really good too :D Good luck on the contest, hope you win first place x3 happy early new year!

[teamcristina]

Thank you so much! A girl named Emily Reed already won the contest, but I'm so grateful for all the good feedback I've gotten! Happy new year to you also!

[xxretardedcookiexx]

Wow that was really good!!!!!!=]

I relly like your voice!!

[teamcristina]

Thanks so much!

[musiicobsessiion]

Cute t-shirt, by the way! Tee hee (=

[musiicobsessiion]

This is the best one I've seen yet. You're entering with a legitimate video. Some of the other videos are practically like jokes - and I hate that. The use of the ukulele was just the most original touch ever! It was a big risk, and I just adored it! Phenomenal job XOXO <3

[teamcristina]

Thank you so much and thank you for watching! I'm glad you liked the ukulele! Happy new year!

[xxitsjOjO]

wow! this is sooo good and i love the different instrument. great job!

[teamcristina]

I don't know about best, but thank you! Happy holidays!

[0BlackVelvet0]

I know this is randome but does your shirt smell like Dr. Pepper?

[teamcristina]

Ha! I wish it smelled like Dr. Pepper! Sadly, it just smells like the laundry detergent I use. Maybe someone should make Dr. Pepper-scented laundry detergent!

[ALionForALamb]

You're very talented...an amazing voice...great job! Do you have any original songs?

[teamcristina]

Thank you! I do write songs; I'll try to have videos up of some soon. In the meantime, please feel free to look up my name (Cristina Bautista) and Connecticut Four on MySpace.
