IMPORTANT QUESTION:

Do you just have a idea and write it down or do you first think about the subject, the song should be about????

[Quickboss1]

It reminds me of Marilyn Monroe's rendition of River of No Return.

[sonicjay007]

♫"Spellbinding" & "Magical"♫

[missemilysmith]

Like Norah Jones crossed with Lily Allen...

[hasuhime]

[noerebronx]

youe like a female elvis.. with your guitar and charm.. your so beautiful and talented, i cant wait to hear your musik on the radio!!

im putting it on facebook already so that my friends can enjoy you aswell!!

[janimalius]

What is truly rare about you is that you sing *your* story. Your art is not just about performance; it is an expression of you. And THAT is what makes it sound so authentic.

[Superemm1]

well from the half of your face i can see i think you are beautiful. almost as beautiful as your voice in fact ; )

[FlAko1890]

awesome nice voice

[ForYourFreeMind]

wow. youtube got one right! you are amazing! not just an amazing sweet voice, amazing lyrics. so glad the tube is featuring you. congrats on your success!

[dansayshey]

I love you. Your lyrics are some of the only lyrics I've ever liked. And your guitar tabs are really simple and pleasantly repetitive. Not to mention you have the sweetest voice.

[mt24trp]

Zee marry me ? Awe come on..... Whats that ? Yes u will ahh lovely! See ya soon honey! xxx

[taostoner1]

You have an incredible voice, i was instantly hooked! keep it up! And good call signing with brushfire records. I am going to buy your album asap.

[imtoocool4u1]

You have a one of a kind voice. I hope you go far with your music. Dont let God's gift spoil. Use it to enlihten, engoy, and entertain others.

[jaksspring97]

I like your voice and while you sound perfect on old songs (like smile) with that old scratchy record player sound...i'd like to hear you on more decent recordings. i did see your video called "bitter heart" and really enjoyed it. everything about the video was perfect except that you were cutting and "sliding" a few of the notes short. nothing a little training wouldn't fix. keep 'em coming!

woot for purty girls.

[drunkenmathematics]

lmao i think you should have just let everyone think it was a singing chin instead..... im not saying you ugly.. but your voice is beautiful enough, dont want to overdo it and make the camera fog up lol

[eschelar]

You having a sore throat could be one of the greatest musical tragedies of the 21st century. ;)

[thatsestherly]

you're so talented.... i love all your originals.

this sounds a lot like santa baby though. except only a million times better. has anyone mentioned that to you?

[moonavie]

one of a kind lyrics...

simply lovely

[hallowskeeper]

:o wow i truly think thats marvelous

[MrDreScott]

Zee you are truly a wonderful performer and so unique. What are the chords for this song?

[zoespringer]

this is just amazing (=

[hmdx3]

Your voice is heavenly.

You really do have an astonishing voice, God bless you!

He has given you a sensational gift, and you are indubitably not using it for negative things!

Keep up the maginificent work!!

[ReadingIsSexy]

This is my favorite song from you. It's nostalgic, but heartening at the same time. A beautiful feeling, a beautiful song. :)

[BloodyVampire16]

I love your voice!!! Its beautiful!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

[NoahTaylor85]

I love it! It's got that 50's Richie Valez-esque chord progression. Lovely

[huckleberry4744]

Your music is incredibly beautiful. I am so excited to hear more of it!

Are you coming out with an album anytime soon?

[cyberwanderer]

It was pretty much exactly a year ago that I found this song featured on MaryWin's channel. I became an instant Sub. Thanks, Koko! One year after first listening to your songs, one full orbital lap of the Sun later, I can honestly say, my life is better because your music is in it. =)

[irethere]

i think you're amazing. =) are you doing any shows anytime in Jan/Feb 09? Hope to catch you live when im back in Malaysia that time.

[DeathByFart]

I don't know about anyone else, but my ass passed out after hearing a voice like that and such mellow strings.

[BrokenSouls]

Your ...ass?

[RandomRhinos]

jesus fajitas i love your voice.

[shestillbelieves]

[ThatFlippinAsian]

[freakingggrace]

I can't stop commenting this video.

But this is such a wonderful song.

You should make it downloadable :)

[hahughes]

Oh my, it's like you sang this song to me and my ex, we broke up over the distance, because he lived in america, and i live in England, and we basically spent all our time on the computers, and the cameras where "out of focus" lol.... i thank you so much for writing this song, this is actually one of my fav songs now, thank you so much, im not your fan xD

[hahughes]

[Donstheman]

Nah, if you could all see my love, youd all agree, its not for me, but for us, I love you Kris.

[BrokenSouls]

He's so sweet.

[myanmarista6]

amazazing

[Annfo111]

love it! U sing way 2 good not to be famous.

[ReadingIsSexy]

Gorgeous lyrics. My favorite song of yours. :)

[sim600]

That tune reminds me of a Beatles (I think) song that I don't remember the words or title to. Garrrggghhh! Can somebody tell me what song I'm thinking of, please? Thanks.

[sim600]

The Beatles (I think) tune is whistled and sounds a bit like the bit where Koko sings "see the streetlamps of the city".

[usayyouuuuuu]

what are the chords??

[funkadalik]

yes what are the chords? :(:(

[harukoninji]

chords are used in music like notes

[m0nNickneim]

hahahaaha

[PennWriteswell]

this tune is quite familiar indeed...

[freakingggrace]

I can't stop listening to this song,

it's so sweet

[shanesaw603]

i cant get enough. this is amazing. i am envious of the talent that you display here. you write very well.

[genyav]

awesome song! Thanks for your music.

[eddo457]

you have got serious talent..check your mail!

[oceanbigwater]

so funny....its familiar in a sense that a beautiful song rings true in our hearts and minds...it reminds me of your christmas carol...you are such a great song writer really thank you for the music, even if you don't allow embedding...lol

[GSR205BK]

You should get signed up...nuff said.

Don't stop writing songs now y'hear?

[Charlodes]

[MaexAmphetamine]

[kfaiolai44]

[brucewayne1251]

[kawawakaba]

chaching! You're money koko. Fantastic job....if videos we're rain you'd be a gentle breeze that churns up a hurricane...er ya

[licensed2bepretty]

here's another one of those uncreative comments telling you you're amazing. i absolutely love your voice. it's so unique and im so awed by it i cant think of a creative comment. watched all your videos. loved em all.

[OneLogTrio]

Likes: voice, melody, lyrics, recording and video style, low-light

dislikes: I'm having trouble with this category :-)

[goodbyewindows]

Can't get enough of your voice it's so unique. Just posted a vid myself would be honered if you would check it out sometime. Cheers!

[joseamadeus]

I like your talent. It's very simple. I've written music since I was little and I thought my music was easy and uncomplicated. I tried to make it that way.... but yours is a lot simpler than mine and yet beautiful...thanks I also like your style, you should cover "Crazy" and "Stand by your man" (old country songs). I like those songs because of the voice. Yours is very similar and if you need the chords for it, let me know I will send them to you....CIAO

[djembe2008]

I love it

[plo188]

your so awesome!!!!!i wish i had the talent of your singing and guitar playing!!best ive heard so far..im dead serious too lol

[kissimone]

[1977Flashback]

Wow!Very very nice song always brightens my day!

[burner289]

If you were in New York I would marry you immediately koko. In fact, I think I just may show up in Malaysia one day. ;)

[spade1one]

:X there are no worlds in this world that can describe how beautiful your voice is!!

[ugeenbenhemmer]

outstanding!!!!!!!

[housetek]

beautiful voice and song, made me smile today.

-htek

[Flauti]

The vocals sound a lot like "Santa Baby" to me. But it's damn good! Maybe you should really get a proper microphone, Myspace Page and you'll get a lot of fans. You have one more right now :-)

[EvanescentShadow]

"simple words in simple chords makes something beautiful"

That's the perfect way to describe you. If you don't make it, there's something wrong with the world, because you have one of the loveliest voices I've ever heard and such talent. Loved it!

[thiswaythat]

absolutely splendid from vocals to lyrics!!

Thanks for posting!!

[karenkeng2]

"SIMPLE GIRL" showing your face is not important.... your voice... will show your face.. & picture them in their mind

[TuringTest1]

yeah, but she's SOOOOOOOOO beautiful.

[ShadowMan0303]

Spectacular voice. I wish i could sing. lol. but yea i hope theres cd coming soon even if i got to order it through youtube i will

[icaufo]

You are beautiful, but you don't have to show your face. People just want what they can't have. You do whatever makes YOU happy, girl. Just keep singin' that heart out.

[jpinkard]

She has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard...serously...its mesmorizing...anyone know if you can get mp3's or anything??

[imalwayslost85]

You can download Audacity and then convert the audio on this video to an mp3.

[jpinkard]

Thanks bro

[mlswans]

[Theedwarfdrummer]

I'm another to agree... Someone get her a contract FAST!!! GREAT voice! Keep up the GREAT work... I just subscribed! :)

[blancfaces]

[mybox1013]

you had me dancing in my chair covered with goosebumps I wish I were close enough to be your frind, to watch you become the butterfly you are. To hold on to the tailskirts of your greatness as you soar high above the grey world where most of us live our lives.

[onytyi]

oooooooh soooo toootally awesome! subscribing. right now. omgosh! love your voice!! best wishes, keep up the good work! ***

[kokoabolo]

[ljevoe]

You're voice is beautiful. Sometimes you sound like Billie Holiday :)

[thefemaleparadox]

this was brilliant. very nice husky voice, good lyrics.. are you playing at any venues in kl?

[DreidMusicalX]

Are you a right and left handed player? Or did you just reverse the video footage? I noticed it in your videos... So I thought I would ask...?

Dave

[bigdrummerboy07]

I'm praying for somebody to "be my guide!" I LOVE your music, and if somehow you end up being able to swim through the sea of "amazing" and "WOW" and find my comments, Please come to my page... I'm going to try to put some of my other music on YouTube, I hope to your enjoyment.

Your Fellow Musician

[Kelnar7]

love your voice but teh guitar work is nowhere near original. it's a famous tune used in many songs.

[ellis90009]

i am pretty sure that the lyrics are original you don't need a original tune to have an original song ex. under pressure vs ice ice baby or cant touch this vs super freak same tunes totally different songs

[KokoKaina]

Hi there. Thanks for your comment. I know the chords isnt original. It's intended, this is why it's called 'A Familiar Tune' and it was inspired by slow-dance songs from way back when.

Thank You though.

=)

[katrinkaloo]

r u hawiian? it sounds liek a hawiian awsome vioce! I LOVE UR SONGS!

[FeelThatChairNow]

[bauto66]

You are an awesome talent and know you will go far. Follow your own path.

your true talent will not be appreciated

i love your music

on the other hand if you do go mainstream you'll have our support all the way!

[chanlately]
