  • very good! i think you underestimated yourself a bit :) you need to work on your support and breath control. you need to keep the energy up! you seemed to be slowing down a bit. your voice is absolutly beautiful :)

  • You have a really nice voice, I'm working on this song for eastern regionals :) it's a very nice song I like it, keep up the good work !

  • keep +he energ balanced be+ween +he phrases, besides +ha+.. loving ur voice!!!

  • Connect the phrases girl!

  • sei sexy e sensuale, si ha un viso angelico ma la tua voce ha bisogno di un sacco di lavoro, i tuoi toni sono esagerati e il vibrato ha molto controllo su di voi lavorarci su

  • u suck

  • try to open your throath in the high notes :)

  • CREO QUE AMO TU VOZ

  • Nice! Talented voice! Keep it up.

  • Please work on your beat and on your pronounciation. You have a clear voice but work a bit on your intonation in the low register

  • You could work on it a little more and touch up on your pronunciation. However, I love your voice, it's very rich and clear. It really soothes my ears after searching through child-like singers through out youtube.

  • You have a very beautiful voice. I think the only improvement that you could make is to have more breath support, especially on the lower notes. But very beautiful.

  • throw yourself into it! I think the voice is nice, don't be shy, just jump and go with the flow

  • the italians voyels are very different from english pastor non pestor with a very strong- the voice is very good. ciao

  • Excellent :D Agree that you need to relax your muscles and work on diphthongs, and pronounciation- such as "segwero" should be pronounced" segweero"

  • Thanks for sharing your gift with us. Your tone quality is truly lovely. Remember that vocal sound is made as a result of air being in motion and work to move a sufficient quantity of air throughout each phrase. Doing so constitutes and defines the over-used and ambiguous concept of "support". Keep working.

  • great job!

  • Medium high!! *_* My favorite to sing... and I have taken a strong liking to this song.

    You have a beautiful voice!

  • In case you didn't know. She is singing from 26 Italian Medium High book.

  • u did very good i am singing this song for a solo contest iin my state and i am very nervous although i am singing it in a different voice i am doing sop.2 so yes but u did a very good job i have seen a few other vids. and this has to be the best so far!

  • people are being very critcal...just go look at all the other webcam performance of this song....they all suck. U did beautifully. I think if you hadnt said this was your first attempt no one would have felt the freedom to go ahead and point out everything they say u do wrong. U have a gorgeous voice, better than most girls i've seen singing this song. :)

  • but u had curaje and that's awesome and a good voice btw:P

  • I agree, there is a bit of tension in your throat, so just relax a bit and itll be fine :) i do have to compliment you though, great italian and your vowels are impeccable and great tone quality, keep it up, your great :)

  • good voice, but work on the pronounciation!

  • I am working on this song right now with my vocal teacher, and I have to agree that you have a gorgeous voice. I agree with teahshalee, work on your breathing, but for a first attempt, it's wonderful. You are a gorgeous girl, and you'll definitely go far <3

  • Quite good.

  • Awesome job girl! Especially for a first attempt! One thing i would like to mention, breath correctly. From your lower lungs, your chest comes up when you are breathing, thus cutting off your air supply. I have a student doing this song, it is one that requires a good ear. Good luck with it, well done!

  • YOu are doing well. I have worked with this song as well, and it is terribly hard. I agree - look up and show that beautiful face. Support, baby. Nothing to be ashamed of. Bravo for posting your first attempt. Do me a favor and check out my practice videos too. Maybe we can give each other ideas. I haven't posted my foreign language ones yet but working on it.

  • I feel like you have a beautiful voice, but the placement is not quite right. It sounds like you are holding back, and it is suck somewhere in the back of your throat. Relax your neck and larynx more, and visualize all your sinus cavities open.

  • i know this song very well and i coached two girls singing it and one won state championship. You are excellent and your italian is fantastic except for the articulation. Hold your head up abit higher when singing and quit being so nervous darling;) You rush at times but do PERFECT recoveries. I very much adore this

  • good, but the italian needs some work...

  • I'm learning this song right now its so pretty :] and are you playing the piano on this too? ahh, I wish i could do that! lol

  • you have a beautiful vouce!!

    ...not fair ;]

  • i like your voice...just give more diction and sing lighter....excellent jub:)

  • por queno tengo una novia como vos ?

  • Your tone is absolutely wonderfull hun. you did great. keep up the good work

  • I really like your voice, I have nothing bad to say about the song and I'm a singer, sure there were mistakes but I bet you sing it far better than half of the people who've criticized you. 5 stars for being a fellow singer and you're also Scottish. :)

  • I've never heard this song, so I don't know if you butchered it or not. my personal opinion is that you have a very beautiful voice and I'm jealous, great job!!!

  • sing lighter. why so heavy?

    your not in the beat.

    you have a glisando. there is no glisando.

    not all words correct.

    parts arent clean.

  • That was awesome I give it 4 stars but I feel you can do wonders with this songs;

    1. Keep your sound forward but singing in a smile for low notes and an "ow" shape for high notes so they sound free.

    2. Diction was a bit off but that is okay you will get :)

    3. Be expressive!

    Other than that keep singing my friend you have a beautiful instrument!

  • oh my yes if she kept it forward everything would fall into place such a pretty voice though :) 4 stars!!!

  • i'm singing this song for an audition. i am in NO WAY fluent in italian..but seeing u sing it puts me at ease. u sing beautifully and i hope to one day play piano as well...props on the pronunciation

    :)

  • hey, awsome job!! this is a really hard song, especially with all the crazy pronunciations,,, i am currentsy learning this song for a level 6 nysma competition, and i have the hardest time with the "ma de gli uomini" part, so props to ya!!! again, great job!

  • very good i'm an alto trying 2 do this song its hard man bt u were great 1-10 i give you an 9 1/2

  • Do you have lessons? Cause whether you don't, you're actually too good and your italian isn't so bad at all.

  • Thirdly you pronounce the "gi" on "Og gi" incorrectly (oh ge). Your "pa" is lazy, it needs to be "PAH". Again during the repeat you pronounce the "soggetto" incorrectly. Overall I think you have some real talent, you should get a voice teacher (if you don't already have one) and put yourself out there, compete and train; you have some raw talent!

  • My suggestions is that you could work on getting a brighter tone, right now the sound is a little swallowed, also use that beautiful vibrato that we only hear a little bit of!

    More specifics, on the "Io ti deb ba ri a mar" the "ba" you rushed through and the pure "AH" was not heard, in Italian it vowels are VERY important. Secondly you say "SeVETO" (that is what it sounded like" the second time you sing it, it is supposed to be "soggetto" you need to get the two "g's" and "t's" in there.

  • u din warm up izit?

    hear like the when u reach high voice will got abit force~~~

    anyway~~ nice sound~~

  • you need more of a tempo; your so much slower than the music

  • you have a wonderful voice! your tone is very rich and you sing with such grace. as others have pointed out, just be careful with pronunciation.

  • You have a BEAUTIFUL tone. Absolutey GORGEOUS. But be careful that you you learn the pronounciation correctly. The vowels have to be perfect, or it takes away from the piece. Otherwise, yes, it's easier standing up. And it's Pah-stor. ^_^ But you have a lovely sound.

  • great job! your sound is very pleasant to listen to!

  • It's easier if you sing standing up.. keep studing! =)

  • This is like the number of young girls I hear who sing this song. Your t's are not dentalized. They should sound more like D's not t's.

  • wow you are really good! :D but, i felt that you were holding back on your higher notes. I felt they could've been a little louder, but your lower register was very beautiful! nice vibrato! :] great voice! :D

  • your singing it slower than than its playing....

    but other than that umm wow... it doesnt look like that sound would come from u... wow

  • You did a great job and your vid helped me alot cus I have to sing this song for my chors midterm and I had no clue what I was doing ^^;

  • you are so incredible ^^

    so nice the song

  • good job:)

    althought it can be improved

  • c super bo

  • You have a beautiful voice, diction needs some work though. your T's and D's need to be more dental, "g" in Italian is a "gee" sound not a "guh" sound. In proper Italian, R's are rolled, it is a defining characteristic to the language. the end of your phrases are being cut off too quickly, partially due to the loss of breath, yes, i know this is a hard song on breath, but with proper breath support, it's doable.

  • I think your trying to make it more beautiful, in some aspects, it is, but if your performing this, no one could hear you, don't hold back. more variation in dynamics would vastly improve the overall musicality of the piece. A very important rule on Consonants is no matter what the dynamic, make them forte, this is a very important tool in diction. release more air before starting your phrases so they're not guttural, but not so much that you get an "H" at the beginning. great voice

  • beautiful i just want to be a music major and i want to give u advice and tell me if it works..............try more to release air before singing the high notes....practice going into your falsetto and releasing air before you make the jump.......but i LOVED IT

  • very cute girl. ;) i'm a male soprano doing this song now. Singing is fun, enjoy it for the rest of ur life. Classical rocks.

  • BooYa!!!!

  • i sing this, quite easily with the high G and all... but i am a alto.. a deep one... straneP: very well sung!!! you are very good, true opera i say^^

  • I don't mean to be a damper, but a true opera singer can fill up a full operahouse no problem, she is about 2 feet from the mic and is still quiet in many parts. more nasal resonance, and better breath support is required to gain this effect.

  • You have a fantastic voice. Do you sing professionaly? Im grade 8 voice (if you know what that means) I might put a video of myself singing up too. =]

  • excelente voz

  • Beautiful voice.

  • awesome voice! my sister sang this for solo ensemble, so i had it stuck in my head all the time. your voice has a cool quality!

  • omg me too!! im singging this in the northern regionals auditions in november =]

  • you have EXCELLENT control, and you really open up, just try projecting a bit more, don't hold back. i'll be singing this in november at eastern regional auditions...so from one soprano to another, great jobbbbb! :)

  • Really good just watch your dynamics because i didn't hear a great difference in the loud and soft sections

    even though his is supposed to not be too quiet becasue it was ment to be performed without a microphone in a grand auditorium

    still you have an amazing accent!

    i wish i hade one like you!

  • You;re really good. I like your accent. :)

  • gorgeous as always

    i'm gonna be singing this song for a classical singing contest at my college. i love this song so much. wish me luck ^_^

  • you are a really good tone but sometimes you're too slow for the music

  • i get to sing this on tv.

    im so excited.

    but nervous.

    im 14.

  • You have an amazing voice! Very strong vocals. Keep up the amazing work.

  • good voice! this is a girl is a bellu pezzu di femmina very very bona ....compliments! spunnamento di picciuni! good good!

  • DA SPUNNARE TUTTA Good work

  • Hey, you've got 20.000 viewers here!

  • Julie, everbody here likes it but you say your not good enough. So.. who made you a judge suddenly? Audition and let the judges decide, ok? Some said she'd kill to have your voice.

    Delightful I think is the right word

    Listen to this also: Don Giovanni - La ci darem la mano - Hvorostovsky & Fleming

  • One role in an opera performance would set you free. It would make you sing a little stronger, like they tend to do to express the drama. Break the bounderies and you are there. Long 'n strong. Youre nice to watch also, that doesn't heart. Sing all the arias, we want to listen

  • Beautiful and a very full voice , I like it very much, I was trying to determine how to sing this song, I like the way you sing it , I will probably sing it higher but I like the tone very much that you have

  • omg i really like it!!! where did you get the instrumental soundtrack?

  • Awesome job!!

  • You need to sing more forward! Judging by your voice, you must have a teacher, and I bet he or she can help you sing forward so that you're less flat. Other than that, great job!

  • Julie. You are a very beautiful girl and has a really delightful voice! But you must improve your italian "R" rrrrrrrrrrrrr, ok? I desire to hear other songs and arias sung by you.

  • Really like this.

    Your lower voice is a lot stronger.

    But, you need to use less throat like voice for the f's and g's.

    I understand it's distorted from the recorder.

    You still do very very well.

    I'm a full alto, just i use a type of voice to get my soprano voice, which is really bad, but where i'm from, theres not much singers to choose from.

    I would kill to have your voice.

    Keep it up!

  • The D's and T's need to be right against the teeth.

  • Thank you for putting this on here. I use it to practice for NYSSMA. =]

  • Trans.-If you love me, if you sigh only for me, dear shephard, I am sorrowful for your sufferings; yet I delight in your love. But if you think that I must in return love only you, Little Shephard, you are subject to decieving yourself easily. The beautiful purple rose will Silvia choose today; with the excuse of its thorns, tomorrow, then, will she despise it. But the advice of men I will not follow- just because the lily pleases me, I do not have to despis the other flowers.aka Women's choice.

  • great job, just need to watch dynamics a little bit, I know its real close where its recording but still couldn't tell loud from soft =]]

  • you should try to sing this song with clearer diction. someone who actually speaks italien should be able to understand wat u r singing. nd yes i actually do know wat im talking about cuz i got an 100 on nyssma for doing this song.

  • Dear gotluv93:

    do you feel better about yourself when you preach to strangers about how much better you are than them? good for you that you got 100 on your nyssma bullsh*t, that didn't make a difference in anyones life but yours you selfish prick. everyone else can comment without sounding lordly. jeez.

  • when you can get an 100 on nyssma for doing this song, be my guest and be a bitch, but for now, FUCK YOU

  • And by the way gotluv93, nyssma is total bullshit. the adjudicators don't know music from home construction. where in new york do you live? Seriously, don't go around getting a big head for getting a 100 on nyssma.

  • any judge i've had knows what they are doing.

  • i got 100 at nyssma on o del mio dolce ardor (which is a harder song than this), but i dont go around bragging about it. plus even the level 6's at nyssma arent THAT hard.

    im in 8th grade nd i got a perfect score how old r u like 16?

    when u get a perfect score on an ALLSTATE level solo, go ahead and brag but for now, shut up.and yes, her diction cud b betr but shes stil prety gud plus, alot of pplz get perfect scores at nyssma its rele normal i want U to post a vid of u singing il watch nd fix

  • you have a gorgeous voice...but i really do have to echo what many others have said...loosen up your jaw and make your vowels nice and long...it will really open up the sound. you voice is so clear and lovely...let it show out!

    :]

    good job!

  • if you loosen your jaw it's easier to reach the top notes, and try to use a piano to make sure that you're not too flat or sharp on any notes. And you don't have to sing it with the piano, you sound a little rushed... I mean, I don't sing it with the piano and it sounds okay... other than that you have a good voice, though I think you might be an alto so try not to force yourself. you can even take the song down by an octave.

    you have a nice voice, keep singing.

  • well done. nice vibrato.

  • I forgot... you're beautiful!

  • put ur thumb behind ur two front teeth and sing into it as if it were a mocrophone, it will help ur voice reach the higher notes and it makes it sound louder. besides the high notes i think u have an amazing voice.

  • What she has to do? With a thumb... Give me advice, I am a singer too, thank you

  • put ur thumb behind ur two front teeth and sing into it as it were a mocrophone, it will help ur voice reach the higher notes and it makes it sound louder. besides the high notes i think u have an amazing voice.

  • Very nice i don't think there's anything wrong with your high notes as a singers opinion. Your vowels sound natural and you italian is veryyy good. =)

  • you suck, espiecally on the top notes

  • why be so critical? She needs only some practice and she'll be great.

  • You have a great voice, and i'd love to hear you sing this song the original way, slower.

  • I would work on keeping your jaw really loose, you seem very tense, and relly work on floating those high notes, keeping a bunch of space in your mouth, even for the quieter parts!

  • fantastic

  • you're fantastic

  • I feel if you work more on your higher notes and agility you would sound a lot like Sumi Jo, which is a GOOOOD thing!

  • You have a nice voice.

    Try not being so tense though, your high notes are too forced, once you loosen up you should be able to hit them easier.

    Great tone though!

    : ]

  • you're good, but you sing to much with lifted back part of the mouth-i dont know how it's called in eng., but you should work on that and your voice will be fuller and warmer. but you've got and interesting colour:)

  • you are really good...i have to peform this song next week and i have a video too please check it out and tell me what you think

  • ur tone is great! and u put so much emotion into it. great vvibrato and pronunciation, but dont be afraid to sing louder, use more airflow so you can hold the notes for longer and keep ur mouth more open vertically [north to south]

    great job!

  • sei veramente brava..complimenti!!!!! anche perchè l'italiano è difficile...soprattutto per voi la pronuncia =)

  • You are really good...keep it up

  • very nice=)

  • ur good. i have to sing this in my voice class :)

  • You are one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen on youtube, beautiful voice but... just look for Cecilia Bartoli's CDs and work hard on them. Keep up the good work :)

  • Brava!

  • good job...but it sounds just a little bit in the back of your mouth....try to brighten your sound a little...it just needs to resinate a little more.

  • marry me?!?!

  • You have great placement. You did really good for your first time. I really like your voice. :D

  • wow....for a first time that is really impressive like most other people who have commented I'm also doing this song for my all state audition....the only thing I recomend is not to slide....that is the only thing I really heard....>>;;;; mind you I probably need to work on mine too lol

  • WOW... I'm doing this song for my all-state audition this year, and I wish I can sound as half as good as you.

  • was SOOOO BRILLIANT except your proununciation just work on that! then it'll be even better and try to get your voice higher on the high notes but DONT push it YOUR BRILLIANTTTT!

  • That is really pretty amazing. I'm doing this song for All-state Georgia this year. You've set a great example of how it's done. Thanks a lot. I'll post a video of the finished product so that you can see.

  • watch your high notes, check pronunciation...and stay with the music...

  • :D

    dudeee!

    you are so good :D

    blaah, i'm jealous.

    I'm singing this song to get into this singing event in london. :D

    ahah, but i'm too young and my choir teacher says i'm not readyy. :S

    blaah.

  • u mean the Honor Choir in London this year? for international schools?? if yes thts so cool cos im trying to get in that too!!

  • AMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

  • wait a minute - i vaguely met you too!

  • me too! i'm not going to make it, though. wait a minute - amy is that you?

  • hello! :) this is julie yes?

    whats up? i didnt know u had youtube!!

    i suggest private voice lessons if you want help getting in, i owe everything to my voice teacher!

    iv never heard you sing :( but i wish you luck trying out ;)

  • yeah! well julia-anne :) but yeah!

    actually, the italian is what's annoying me. but i'm going to try convincing my parents (for the hundreth bazillion time) for voice lessons...but then my sister who's incredible (sans voice lessons ever!) would be like 'whattt'?

  • the italian is amazing!! haha once you get used to it, you will be fine...

    oh btw i don't think we've properly been introduced before, i'm yukino kondo. i would just probably have to introduce you face to face but that's ok.

    oh and i like the mixture of french in there... (sans)

  • yeah.

    actually...didnt we meet at auditions for the show?

    yeah! me too :)

  • oh sorry i thought it was julie.. sorry!!

    i love italian, but its hard cos i know spanish so its almost the same but very different too.

    dont let 'natural talent' fool you, (i am deffinetly NOT saying your sister is bad though) but i bet even she would learn SO much from them, they really help you improve and u notice the changes too.

    yes i would say beg them and ignor the "whaaat" hahaha! ;)

    only if u want to though :)

  • haha it's okay!

    italian is so pretty :) i so want to study it but i cant believe it isnt offered here! she prolly would.

    hmm. i'll figure it out...after all...my birthday's in a week :D...i do want them but i also have flute lessons, so...

  • Nice voice!

  • you are truly beautiful inside and out

  • ¡Beautiful! It was very nice hear you. Thanks.

  • Your a godess i worship you

  • your voice is really beautiful and I think by working a bit more you'll be awesome, but your pronounciation needs work :)

  • hey sorry for only write cool

    buen im new in this

    i like so much your voice

    i hope how your listen my song

    i recorde the same song but in my tone, in bajo-varitono

    aaaa and i forgot it said you

    you're beautiful

  • cool

  • cool

  • Keep working and you may achieve great things. Nice!

  • try out without karaoke next time

  • Your diction needs much help and phrasing, but overall, not so bad.

  • I think you sing beautiful, and you look beautiful too =)

  • I think your tone is a little bit behind you, you try to get the tone, and you get it but from throat... Try to use your diaphragm and don't push the tone out, just let it... But besize that, you have a beautiful voice color which some of the best opera singers don't have... And you look nice too, like a diva :)

    Wish you all the best...

  • simply gorgeous. you've got such a beautiful voice. nice an full.

  • Beautiful voice and a beautiful girl...are you single????=))))

  • Work on your diction... I can't understand what you sing... Sometimes you don't follow the music, and you sing slower...

  • Wow, the best I have heard of this song in a long time, very good phrasing, good accent, lacking a bit in emotion, but that can come later. WOW. Make more videos of you singing. Maybe Lasciatemi Morire, Bois Epais, Velvet Shoes, Lass From the Low Countree, are just a few I would love to hear you sing!

  • This is a provocative and emotional piece. Always think of the words when you sing. Watch when doing the jumps from the Ma se pensi. Make sure you breath properly and give it full support or it will end up like a scud missile. Well done and nice tone.

  • beautiful girl and an amazing voice you got it all keep up the great work just work out some little kinks and mature youll be a fabulous singer brova

  • Beautiful voice!! I'm learning that song as well!! = )

  • Beautiful material!

  • Keeep on singing! You're doing really well, just chek the pronunciation ;) Good job!

  • You're singing really good,

    honestly sometimes I prefer the tone of your voice

    to Cecilia Bartoli, I'm not exagerating

    if your diction of the italian language becomes better

    Keep on singing: we enjoy!

  • hey, ur pretty good but the hole time ur behind the music. i udrstnd ,i did this piece too and it was alot faster than i thought. other than that, ur awesome.

  • You have a beautiful voice, maybe you could do better the breathing e l'espressione that has to be piú picara, and the velocitá non é andantino? And put the mouth like you were laughing can help you in the agudos.

  • Wow. What an improvement from you're "O del mio dolce ardor". Great job! :)

    Just work on diction-- you're glossing over the "g"s and "r"s, which should be pronounced clearly, as in "Gemini" and "rrrrrr". xD

  • why do you erased my comment to SingerFreak?

    I just wanted to say that she's just a person full of envy: nothing more

  • i dont think i did erase any comment from u :S maybe youtube erased it or something :S
