  • Your AWESOME!!!

  • The truth is that Ysabella is the first singer/writer who I followed to this website. She's why I came to set up my profile here in the first place. Through being here, I've discovered many wonderful and talented people on Youtube, but none shine as brightly in my heart as she does! Her music and voice warms my soul. I think of her often. I worry about her health, and pray everyday that God heals her body from the pain she has endured. I miss her being on here.

  • I miss U lady:(......

    

  • seriously, i dont understand why 200 people always dislike u in every film,

    i think jealous is a terrible thing.

  • the 202 dislikes are probably main stream singers, the ones that are ugly and suck, the ones that need the studio to make them sound good

  • this is an amazing song, wow, just lovely. i won't even mention the superficial stuff like how unreal hot you are. oops, i just did *wink*.

  • This could be be your most overlooked video. At 2:37 your beyond beautiful. At  1:28 truly angelic.

  • You have a beautiful voice and a beautiful personality. Please, make sure that the last one stays that way. We need more like you on that scale.

    Best

  • really nice song- sounds like sonething madonna would sing

  • amazing! I'm really glad you're back on the network!

  • I'm not as old as you but that is beautiful.

  • This is one of your best . . .

  • That is the Truth

  • Beauty! 5 stars from me!

  • This is amazing ...

    Is this song on the market ?

  • Yes ... so good to see you back albiet short of your cover songs. I think I can say without fear of contradiction that you have been sorely missed by all.

  • So Glad they put at least your originals back! Just love this song! Reminds me of the futility of hope..and the longevity of it.

  • The TRUTH never changes. Just keep remembering that MaryAnne and you will be alright. And thats the TRUTH, because MaryAnne Ysabella Brave told me that.

  • one more song that makes me wish there was an available CD of you....

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

  • donno, has an england feel to it..

    it grows on you i guess..

    hey let's vote blonde or brunette?

    Brunette for me:)

  • I watch through Ship wrecked eyes this beach I comb.

    I watch as ships pass and move my memory rarely does a splendid ship comes full of sail

    broaching boldly before the tide and wind

    scorning fate like an angelic albatross

    my heart longs to follow after and watch her always

    but alas, land locked. I hope to see her pass her noble prow near these shoals again and dance along the wind swells where she belongs

  • I like this song.Those are some really good lyrics^^

  • i like this song:)

  • You are an absolute ledgend vocaly,lyricaly,astheticly an your taste of music is divine.f*cking brilliant. whens the album :)

  • MaryAnne, my heart aches for everyone to understand your words in this song. I know yours does too. I see your heart really went into these words.

  • ms ysabellabrave

    thank you & congrats all in one breath.

    Talent & beauty aside (both of which you obviously have ample amount of) you present your material with a genuine joy de vivre' which is appreciated out here in listenerland.

    ..I think I am in Love...sigh

  • :) You're so, so welcome.

  • As your music truly does, this song actually helps me out in my life!! It did today. I thought of the lyric "control yourself and no one else and you will see the truth", so I practiced self-control when I wanted to be selfish and my day went wonderfully as a result :) You, your voice, this video, and this song are beautiful in an ethereal way. Such genuine beauty simply cannot fade : D

  • Love the song! The music sounds very Zooropa/Pop, and your voice has that kind of angst-ridden Bono-like thing going on (not that your voice sound like his, of course).

  • nice )

  • Truly inspiring. Whenever I listen to your music it makes me feel lighter. I especially love the lyrics in this one.

  • I think here your vocals sound like a mix of Madonna's and Sarah McLachlan's (I think you look like a blonde S.M. here - taking a break from the Mariah look...both should be taken as compliments:). The music sounds like something maybe Dido would use or maybe Madonna about 10 yrs. ago when she had the dark hair/dark look. Don't listen to that AnonymouseCat person...keep your hair. Long hair rules! Don't be like Britney. Classy, not trashy. Keep writing cool tunes! :)

  • Amoymouse, I see one of your ignorant comments and I feel like I have seen them all. Your useless advice is not needed. Please try to find somewhere or someone who cares about what you think or have to say - it isn't here.

  • I'm with Apowellz i think she's got a more fay like appearence, britney looks like someone shot her out of a cannon. Besides at least Ysabella can sing all britney's got going for her is her looks and they're not that good to begin with. Sorry my loser friend

  • you are beautiful, ysabella, inside and out.

  • You almost made me cry, I don't do crying.

    (So you must have something special)

  • wow, I could sing along the second time I played this vid, I can only do that with good songs ;)

    Was just wondering... could I get the sheetmusic? (angelface) or is that asking too much?

  • yeah,After watching this,i'll be crying for a while.

  • Love this song. Makes me want to hum along with. Its very good. And now I'm gonna hear it again. Thanks, and keep on writing.

  • why don't they put this song on radio it is better then all i listen to on 104.7 ??

  • maryanne is one of a kind i don't think their will ever be another singer on the web that can sing all the songs she has so much better then the original singer she is amazing and goofy loved her freaky song ))

  • I love your voice it make feel great!!

  • You and this song reminded me a little bit of some Madonna influence. I liked it!

  • Beautiful song...

  • I love this song, the perfect message. Thank you so much for writing and singing and making the world more beautiful! GOD bless your sweet soul.

  • 10 Stars!

  • ysabellabrave..fantastic..

    Otha

  • Why on earth would she need American Idiot? Shes a star already!

    Who needs the ugly judgement of a program where the entertainment is bullying young creative ppl, more than of encouraging ppl to dream and make their dreams come true.

  • I agree with you... She doesn't need anything else, she's a true star. By the way, this song is amazing and she looks very cute, as always!

  • It's a protest song...... I get it. I think we all want to see a compilation of well...you. When do we ge a cd or the like?

  • Why are you not on American Idol?

  • such a beautiful voice

  • I love this You rock dear sis! Dennis godsmanforsure

  • What beautiful lyrics. You have a true talent in song-writing as well as singing.

  • Thank you so much.

    It did hit home.

    Stop looking for vengence.

    Vengence belongs to God.

    Let us live with love in our hearts.

    And we will truly die inside and out

  • I LOVE IT!

  • Hey dear sister I love your voice and this new to me as I don't speak to show folks . Your lovely and your Voice rocks YHWH bless ya Shalom godsmanforsure Dennis

  • Hey Kamenliter, tell your dad to send that link to 2 of his friends, and so on, and so on, and so on. If it happened 30 times without fail, that would be over [hmm 2^30 = ...] a billion people :)

  • Good idea, Huckleberry. I've already forwarded her YouTube page onto some friends of mine...hopefully they feel inclined to do the same.

  • Beautiful.

  • Can someone please explain to me why this woman is not a huge star? Eventually, let's hope. True, supreme talent.

  • She is, Kamenliter :)

  • True, she is a huge star, amongst her 35,000 subscribers, but to a nation of millions and world of billions, those numbers should be much higher! I sent my dad a link to her vids and he was ready to buy her album - as soon as there is one! :)

  • She is a huge star, just look in Heaven, and you will see.

  • She is the guide star. The most important star there is. She is the one who lights the way for all those who choose to seek the Truth.

  • You are all those things and much more MaryAnne.

    1 John 3:2-3

    Beloved, we are [even here and] now God's children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter], but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall [as God's children] resemble and be like Him , for we shall see Him just as He [really] is.

    And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless).

  • OK, YB I "PM'd" you... but I now realized that I "PM'd" you before... The PM thing would'nt be the YB Siberia Zone would it?..?.:) (I don't think you would do that..) I await and watch....

  • Michael, just to help you understand. Ysabella gets many more e mails than she could possibly respond to. She has said that she reads all of them. They will not always show as "read" on your mail. She does respond as she feels appropriate.

  • Thanks thomasbayes1702. Yes, I know, I see her comments everywhere... Good communication is like a great TV series... you can't wait for the next episode....

  • You are the seeker of Truth, the bringer of Hope, and the light that shines on our best dreams in a way that makes them seem, suddenly, not just possible, but downright unstoppable.

  • How do I PM you? (I looked, i'm have a "lost guy" moment...):)

  • OK..PM I gotta figure out how to do that... Life is hard for us programmers, code is changing all the time.. Look for my PM... Thanks!

  • Do you know musical chords? (obvious Q?) How are the cats? I see them in the background of your videos. You introduced the little one when you first got him/her? Any cat updates? I got an MP3 song I want you to hear (I made it) How could I send it to you?

  • So when does your CD come out. This is brilliant, Ysabella, genius to me.

  • i love your original songs, i just subscribed, too :)

  • I clicked on "more" under the "About this video" and Violah! The Lyrics! You record a lot of videos! Do you have to work or are you "well off"? Where do you find the time? Do you read music? What instruments do you play? Have others asked these questions and i'm just late?.. or what? How are the cats? It seems you are a woman of many talents. I really did mean the "shine from inside" thing... The PR lady stuff is worth the price of admission... nice hair styles...

  • One last thing.. (the YouTube comment police are on to me) Do you do all your camera work? If so the PR Lady stuff is out rageous! Your an actress too!...

  • I write a lot, I know. My comments never got your attentions before. I could probably text Ghandi faster than you... Forgive my mispellings.. i'm not an idiot... i'm at work. I program software....

  • BTW- you are very good. I think you have room for improvement (but who doesn't hm..?) I sing and play also. I think your mass appeal is you personality/character/spirit. You really shine from the inside out. Also, you are kinda cute....

  • Also, are you going to post the words to your songs so that we (your amiring fans) can sing the songs to ourselves... sometimes...?:)

  • ...? This may sound like a an obvious and stupid question, but you sing, minister(Brave Talk) AND read/write music? Also, when you say "I played them on my computer." do you mean with a MIDI keyboard or literally ON your computer keyboard....?

  • Ok, you wrote the song... Who made the music? (Played the instruments) IMWTN....

  • and beautiful voice!! :))

  • If you become famous I will not only buy your CD but also support you! you're an amazing person, and you cheer me up with your speeches :) so Thank you! please Keep the support!! <3

  • while under canopy as a skydiver, I played in cloud once. When I came out of the bottom, a hawk and a guy in a glider were circling up to meet me...on that day I felt truly blessed, if just for the moment. This is what I see in this video.

    Thanks "Y"!

  • You are a very beautiful and talented singer. I've only listened to three songs so far and I'm totally hooked! :) Have you ever released or thought of releasing an album? I need a CD for my car. LOL

    Simply beautiful!!

  • I swear, everytime I see you sing that song, you put me on the back side of Jupiter. Love ya, Steve

  • did you make the song....and then like lip sing to the song you recorded? sorry my question is cunnfussing!!! :)

  • is she really singing? did she make the song?

  • I printed out the words and carry it in my pocket so every time I want to choke someone I read a few lines. Iwish I could Carry the song with me. Ameno is getting old.(Its a song I use to calm myself)..She does have a way with words...

  • D: how are you not signed to a major label?!

  • She's doing a CD??? I would also like to know about this!

  • Ahh! The combination of your voice and your face is amazing!!

  • You are goin big places girl! Let me know when a CD is available for release! You got one hella amazing voice!

  • wow you are amazing! Its not really my style of music but man you are great.

  • wowowwowowowowowowow!!!!!!

  • A song about peace...well I can certainly see what all the debate is about! Not really :). Beautiful song, Ysabella, with beautiful lyrics, beautifully sung.

  • still going strong <3

  • Thanks again MaryAnne. I come and listen to you and read your words of Hope again. We know there will eventually be Peace, and we will stop segregating and hurting one another. In the mean time, we must do our part. God be with you in your part.

  • i just discovered u thanks to johnny cash, and u art great, really, do u have any cd? couse if aren a profesional singer u should, u have a great voice, i would like to see ya singing live

  • Simply said, simply sung, simply beautiful!

  • Nice I love songs about peace .We need more of them . Thankyou

  • YOUR TOO HOT

  • I have been enjoying your videos for sometime and have not commented yet, however, after enjoying this song so many times over and wishing I could download it, I felt I really owed you a thank you for using the gift Yah gave you. It has been a joy. From your talks and songs you remind me of so many good parts of so many friends. It would be a pleasure for my wife and I to some day meet you, but, yeah, until then what I mean to say is: Thanks.

    "control yourself and no one else"

  • beautiful, on all accounts, as usual

  • i just love your voice!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Beautiful

  • i love your ability to also write original melodies and not only lyrics

  • Im so sorry, somehow i missed this song......... I always love your originals....

  • so ahead of its time!! i love it

    beautiful!!!

  • aww, I love you.

  • Amazing song! You're so pretty too!

  • I havn't watched any of your vidios lately, but you look even more beautiful than you did befor which i didn't even think was possible! You songs make me want to cry the are so amazing, and i see your getting better at editing your clips! You are amazing! Seriously try out for american idol again, this time tell them to look at your you tube videos! They CAN NOT say no to you again!

  • The cutoff age for American Idol is 27. So, she couldn't try out if she wanted to. Personally, I don't believe American Idol is for her. She's far too creative and talented. The folks at AI are much too controlling and the winner's contract amounts to professional slavery.

  • How can that be, b/c Constantine Maurulis (sp?) was 29 when he got into American Idol.

  • The age limit was 26. It was raised to 27. I they then raised it to no older than 28. Have no idea who Maurulis is. But, he was probably 28 when he auditioned. Still think it would be a backward step for Ysabella. She's much too good for American Idol.

  • no he was 29 and i'm pretty sure that Bo Bice was too. i remember b/c the judges emphasized that they just made the cut off. maybe the rules were changed for 2008, idk.

  • The show is shown in January. The auditions are held August/September. It is your age at the time of the audition that counts. I checked and Bo Bice was born in November, so his 29th birthday was after the auditions.

  • i'm certain that Constantine was 29 though, i remember the judges saying something like "you just made the cut off" idr too well. :\

    lol we're talking about AI on one of Ysabella's videos lol. but yeah. Ysabellabrave is too good for AI! :)

  • Really?! I didn't know you were that old, you don't look it! But that sucks! cutoff at 27!

  • Simply perfect, perfectly simple...

  • Nice tune. How can a person sum it up in one word?

    How about *accusatory*?

  • Hi ysabellabrave!!

    After all this time, my favorite is still Santa Baby.

  • How about "hope"?

  • Hope is always good.

    I appologize if my original comment sounds a little harsh. It does to me today.

    I wrote the original comment in lightheartedness while chuckling.

    (Is lightheartedness a word? I have no idea. I think it is.)

  • Ysa,

    Such a strong song demands the purity and power of your perfect pitch to shine.

    In my humble opinion, the echo/reverb softens/covers/hides your vocals. I think that amount of effect is better suited to someone who can't really sing---a talent you posess in abundance.

    Listen to Streisand's studio work compared to, say, Madonna and you hear the difference. The former is a singer(power), the latter a performance artist(echo).

    You, m'lady, and your singing sparkle...let it shine!

  • I love Ysabella's singing, however she chooses to present it. I can not criticize this gift she shares with us. I'm here to enjoy, not to analyze. Besides, how can you compare her sound quality to anyone's studio work? A digital camera with pin hole mike, Youtube compression, self recorded in her living room against the resources of a studio with best sound equipment. A day will come when we will hear true depth & beauty of her voice. On that day, I will rejoice.

  • You have a beautiful voice

  • Beautiful! I really admire you and your amazing voice ^^

  • Beautiful voice, and you are a very beautiful woman, no doubt....you carry yourself well, it's true, it's damn true.................

  • Damn, this song is powerful. And you look like a star.

  • how did your trip to new york go.I thought you were making a cd? is is done.let me know I will purchase one.thanks

  • Wow, you kind of look like one of the girl in Aly and AJ, I forgot her name though... But you are such an AWESOME SINGER!!!!

  • This is an amazing work of art!! You are amazing!!

  • Adorable!

  • MaryAnne,

    It's really all in the context used. True sex and sexiness is a natural and essential part of life. I have trouble with the term "sexy", especially as a stand alone compliment, because it shows an inability or unwillingness to describe someone much beyond what ones hormones dictate. I find that to be pretty shallow, immature and not very complimentary.

  • Powerful comment on the human condition.

    Beautiful melody and images capture the mood.

    Bravo Ysabella!

  • Brava Ysabellabrave...Brava e Bella!

  • you're great! my favourite song is ; such a quiet man. and baby one of course :)

    greetings from germany!

  • Maryanne is the you tube star wow what beautiful music she sings for a girl that cant sing hehe )

  • ya we love you yasbellabrave )

  • I was so surprised when I heard your singing voice for the first time! I expected you to have a small voice, but you don't! Your voice is beautiful! Strong! Great for praising!

  • Incredibly beautiful,

    greetings from Celmar, Monaco

  • It's Suzy from Illinois..been watching Super Tuesday and then listened to your beautiful song, lyrics and beautiful face. you know this actually would be a good song for Hillary or Obama, Hillary being the mother we're all looking for and Obama for bringing the country together. anywhoo.. I think your just so talented ! Hope you voted Mary Ann.

  • Song is as lovely as you are :)

    Thanks for sharing both.

  • :) You have a genuine beauty that comes from within. You exude sincerity,fiercely creative intelligence, honesty, empathy, compassion, and joy. There is a light and goodness about you that many find attractive. Its not simply about looks. You ARE beautiful when you arent trying to be. No need to 'dial it back'. (I know you were joking) You may not always want to be thought of as 'sexy' but thats not the only reason you are loved. Youve done no wrong & theres more to you than that. :)

  • You're amazing Ysabella! Thanks for being so wonderful, I love your music. xx

  • To those who believe that fighting and war will never be completely eliminated:

    I think that you can agree that a significant part of the fighting is unnecessary, wasteful and shameful.

    I think that it is important to always ask if there is a better way. To ask: "how can I avoid this fight?"

    I believe that it is our moral imperative to find cooperative, mutually beneficial solutions to problems that respect each person's Human rights.

  • Spoken as someone who has zero conception of the true threat radical Islam poses to the world. How does one reach "cooperative, mutually beneficial solutions to problems that respect each person's Human rights", while entire cultures raise their children to hate and wish death upon all who aren't Muslims?

    Unfortunately, there's really no effective way to reach agreements with people who's only objective in life is to chop your head off.

  • It is usually the weakest, stupidest and most fearful who see violence as a first resort.

    Whereas is is usually the strongest, smartest and most confident that try to avoid fighting; and they only see it as a last resort. They usually see it as a failure.

  • Wow! I'm impressed. Great lyrics, great song, professional video and instrumentation. ysabella at her best.

  • Thank You! Righteous lyrics, ... I like it :).

  • I have listened to this song every day and it only gets better and better. I really like the piano. You said that you made the music on your computer, does that mean that you have a piano keyboard connected to the computer? Is it one of those MIDI-keyboard? Sorry, I don't know about these things, but I like the song.

  • LOVED IT!

  • Lovely lady

  • Every day I pray for peace on earth. It is what I live for--the hope that humanity can evolve into a peace-loving race. Thank you for the beautiful song.

  • Beautiful! I've put it on my cell phone so I can hear it any time - connected to the Net or not.

  • te amo mi amor

  • Wonderful, amazing lyrics! Your so talented! Thanks for sharing. PS - your copyright is out of date on this video! It's 2008, haha :).

  • Maybe she wrote it last year? :-)

  • Beautiful...

  • MaryAnne,

    I'm with dardoreturns, kofbiz gets lost in your feminine charm and wrongly translates that to sexy. The warmth and softness you project into this song compliments the idea of a soft, caring and loving mother figure. Someone to look up to who you know won't lead you astray in a world full of things to be afraid of. Your lead in to this song is a simple yet oh so powerful statement about what very many of us must cope with. Such vision and concern for us, thank you again. Lloyd

  • Lloyd, I think MaryAnne listens to "I'm Too Sexy" on a regular basis and it translates into her videos subconsciously. I'll just scroll back down the page so as to not be influenced by the visual appearance. ;p

  • Hey Ren,

    Yeah, you gotta know that she gets those kind of lines and has to deal with them all the time. I've seen it spoil many women, but not MaryAnne. Her attactiveness goes so far beyond her pleasing face. The person under that alluring face is what I love, open hearted, kind, sharing, intelligent and by the grace of God talented. Equating that kind of wholesome beauty with "sexy" fails for me because I consider that label derogatory and demeaning, I would never put her down like that.

  • Hey Lloyd,

    Sorry if I offended you, MaryAnne or anyone else for that matter. My aim was not to offend but merely as a comical bit (I've turned my paper bag around so please excuse any typing errors). I, personally, take offense to one's intent rather than the actual words. Remember the "you look jew" comment? Perfect example of what I mean.

    You, apparently, feel it's perfectly o.k. to degrade as you see fit. In a public forum to boot. Not nice.

  • Lloyd,

    Sorry for the misunderstanding.

  • You know its great to see a young woman that does not think she has to be half naked and act like a tabloid girl. You are beautiful woman and a beautiful person. You have a very postive feel and thats what I think is missing in most girls nowadays. Keep up the good work!

  • Darned half naked tabloid girls! Dagnabbit!

  • Starvinartguy watch out it's a tough crowd. What ever you do don't mention gold tickets. =)

  • gold tickets? does that include a tour of the factory? =)

  • Most certainly!

  • Is this song about Peace or about something else.  I love you and your music but you might want to dial back the sexy for the message songs, if you're able to.

  • Apparently you were still too sexy wearing a sweater with fur collar that completely concealed your neck leaving just your face showing. Wear the Groucho moustache glasses, or a paperbag, next time. I'm sure others will have more suggestions to help you dial back the sexy.

  • :) I dont thinks entirely easy to 'dial back the sexy' Ysabella too sexy? Never! youd have to hide her from view to not notice her. -but then you could still hear her. I think she looks great even at her worst. No make up, tired, bed head, dorky, you name it, shes still lovely. Ever hear of 'she would look good in a potato sack dress'? That's Maryanne. If you try to downplay it the more pretty she seems. Shes a beautiful person.-pure and simple.
