Josie, MN State Fair Talent Contest 2011

[L3VE6]

HOW DO YOU PERFORM IN FRONT OF SO MANY PEOPLE?! I would faint. :O

[MrsTennantLautner]

The clapping would put me off. Then again I can't sing. Or play guitar. Or get up on stage in front of a crowd of people.

So I guess we're not the same. :-P

[RodelPhynix]

This is the type of stuff that inspires people...

[blankprobe]

cant imagine how someone could do better than this.. but she´s still learning- AWESOME X)

[awesome71299]

U flat out rock to the billionth power

[Nazifaxxful]

wow her voice is really good... at some points in the song her voice reminded me of Adele.. good on u Adele

[roboticstardust]

I love how everyone was completely silent and speechless from her performance

[SoccerBreckan]

[mirrorcob]

[msvanillalea]

I'm a Swifty, but I gotta say this girl's possibly gonna get more famous than Taylor :O

[bobbyemily89]

how can you sing in front of some many people i am scared of what people think when i sing and i am older than u

[Ziece4]

@bobbyemily89 One of two reasons, She either started too young to even think of being scared of going on stage and grew into it, or she sucked it up and got used to it and noticed she's a natural. The 2nd one is what I had to do lol

[emerenasoccerlover]

You did soooo amazing, like usual! It was amazing to meet you <3 you WILL be famous!

[onadiscobus]

i frigging love you josie! keep going!

[YinSanMusic]

[InYourClosetx]

Goosebumps..

[U1PZ]

[Ganburri]

@U1PZ Sunshine :D

[Ultumatechipettefan3]

I keep saying that I want to be just like Taylor Swift, but when I was 12...I was no where near this talented...and still not...and Yet my name is still Josie..xDD MAN I LOVE THIS GIRLL!!! (make it big pretty please!!!)

[girlsingerfan]

Josie's style and voice are so warm and enjoyable. I don't think her voice will change much in the next few years, so I am predicting big things for her. She is already like a little professional singer/songwriter.

[musicluver987654321]

ahh you were at the mn state fair?! i live there(:

[DemiCieloMusic]

You have one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard! And and amazing songwriting talent.. God bless you!

[JakWhispers]

I wasn't going to say anything but I just so happened to randomly catch one of your performances this year, and i was like "OMG is that the youtube girl?!?!" and it was right after some random person tried to start a fight with my friends and I at sweet marthas cookies and i was frustrated... thanks for calming me down through the power of song :) I hope that doesn't make me some kind of a stalker

[champx555]

[Suvi1128]

You deserve this Josie! Keep rising, you have an incredibly pure voice. It's refreshing, and your lyrical ability reminds me of something from Colbie Caillat. Of course you are still original, it's your calming voice and sweet lyrics that remind me of Colbie, and I hope that doesn't insult you. You're beautiful and so is your music! <3.

[Suvi1128]

You deserve this girly! You are wonderful, with an amazing pure voice.

It makes me smile when I see that my school is not the only place where such technical difficulties occur. Good job keeping up your smile through it all, and congratulations on that massive trophy (it puts my tiny acting award to shame - I feel all puyny now)!

[razel011]

And now you have it :) It is only a matter of time until you are famous, and I couldn't be more proud !!! Congrats on winning, you definitely deserved it !!!

~Jenna~

[ScandinavianSingers]

Congrats!

And btw, happy that I wrote on my channel (three months ago):

"Imagine a big audience wanting to hear good singer & songwriter music.

Then imagine Josie entering the stage... what do you think would happen

after hearing her play own songs like 'You'll see' /'Sunshine' ? I don't

think they would have let her leave the stage easily!"

It was NOT a hard prediction to make :)

[busymama12345]

Wait..she's 12? O_O

[Haffilove]

so amazing!!!

[jbvo063]

Great Job!!!  Congratulations!

[uandme06]

No stage is big enough to match your amazing talent Josie. This is another wonderful performance of another of your awesome original songs!!
