[xCoolGirlZix]

[javion90bri31]

[canadaguy666]

i felt like shit when i realized i was 8 grand in debt. but after listening to this, i quickly realized that american students have it much worse. an acquaintance has close to 30 grand in debt over there. YIKES

[belias360]

This is hilarious! And I'm about to graduate soon, I'm so scared now!!!

[ronettesren]

[SincerelyxLaTrice]

OMGEEE I can soooo relate lmao ...good job !

[CecilBop003]

@chescaleigh This is one of the first videos of yours that i ever watched...and that was over 3 months ago... i have watched and laughed at this video so much....that i've recently found myself singing this version of "Countdown" in the shower...word for word!!!..also, i'm a sophomore in college, so, student loans are ALWAYS on my mind. .i LOVE what you do Chesca...you always make my day. keep making these videos hon....great things are sure to follow you. =)

[chescaleigh]

@CecilBop003 thank you thank you!

[mzcutiepiediva]

Hate

[TheBJG7]

lol and yr a good singer

[adlide]

Lol funny very funny.

[keliy84]

@ chescaleigh, your videos are awesome, and I can't wait to see the new one. Like I said earlier, this particular parody never gets old to me, and I watch it for a laugh to lift my spirits, when I think about how much I owe Sallie Mae. I'm getting tired of seeing her name all over my CR. Lol!!!

[LetsCountdown]

I didnt like this at all. i thought my ears were about to explode. But she can sing. do better with your voice other then dissing people

[chescaleigh]

@LetsCountdown except this song isn't dissing anyone. it's about my student loan debt.

[hrcr101]

Your sounds so good and the video is pretty funny :D

[TheReececlarke8]

Again please comment on my channel So I know you seen my vids

[4CullensandaBlack]

This ain't stupid, it's the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tionluvs2dance2music]

Girl this video was funny as hell! You can sing and it look you could dance!! Loved it!!! :D

[awesomfly]

HEY YOUR THE GIRL ON THE KEY OF AWESOME ^__^ ~liked ^-^~

[Totchi85]

Your parody is so much better than the original. Love your voice! :D Are you going to make some more parodies?

[chescaleigh]

@Totchi85 thanks! i want to start doing more song parodies, but it's tough because I do everything on my own. this video took over 10 hours!

[MarieSueMax]

@chescaleigh you did an incredibly good job!!! glad you didnt drop off the make and keep getting funnier

[chescaleigh]

@MarieSueMax thanks! glad you enjoyed it! new video up tomorrow, i spent over 20 hours editing!!

[MegaNetta20]

lol!!!!!!!!!!! hell i wish i could get a loan. im twenty one and can't do shit!!!

[dandotcom1989]

too real I can't lol!! :-(

[winniethepooh2011]

A-to-the-freaking-MEN

[gogglespiazzano]

What this is - is freaking AWESOME....and true!

[jamesmaseobrown]

Some people are just born that star quality, and you're definitely one of them. I have to agree with with one of the comments about your natural singing ability. You have a great voice, please make a serious music video.

[chescaleigh]

@jamesmaseobrown thank you! i plan on singing more in the near future :)

[keliy84]

I thought the video was awesome. I actually have watched it several times and it never gets old to me. I got that stupid payment coupon book in the mail to start repayment of my student loans the first day I saw this video. I called them yet again to defer. I wish I could just hit the stinkin lotto and pay these mofos back then write the interest off on my taxes, and then be done with them for good. Ugh!!!

[wilburnforce]

you are great.

[ikashi114]

So amazing. Thanks for being super fantastic.

[ManiSimone]

omg chescaaaaa! that was too funny n talented! sooo subdabadubdubdubbing!

[JustForFunST]

Saw you on KOA... and actually subbed cuz of it!!!! :)

[chescaleigh]

@JustForFunST oh cool! welcome!

[Pampy420]

i love u... no homo :P hahahhahhaha ure awesome :D

[emanii69]

U can sing..use ur talent not on stupid stuff like dis

[chescaleigh]

@emanii69 you're entitled to your opinion, but i think this is a great use of my talent. i wrote a song that is funny and resonates with people because it's about an issue that many people are going through. i spent over 10 hours filming and editing a video that closely mirror's beyonce's video that has since been viewed over 200k times and featured on Oprah radio, MTV's blog and in Good Magazine, so I'm very proud of my work on this video.

[karinaipf1]

Is totally out of tune :S but the video is nice

[littledeadmau5]

[ShadesAndBoots]

"Nothing has changed, I can't pay you."

I know that's right, do you think I have it but I'm just so desperate for phone calls I put off sending it in.

"We're getting married" sounded great.

[HowToGetRidAcne]

No wonder this is so popular! Great video - thank you for time for sharing.

[eddierhodman2]

Does anyone know what soft wear she used to edit the video

[chescaleigh]

@eddierhodman2 Adobe Premiere CS5

[eddierhodman2]

@chescaleigh thank you so much....also if you can can you tell me how you made your self duplicated. In one shot you had you in black and in the bottom corners you had your self in red dancing...how did you do that?

[chescaleigh]

[Leo19901216]

Hahahhaha good one

[HabeshaQween]

This is the story of my life, and I couldn't laugh because it was too real. Dealing with student loans and having no job with a bachelors degree is stressful. 

[chescaleigh]

@HabeshaQween keep your head up, the right job will come your way

[jazzi1100]

man that was soooo true and cute sallie mae be bugging!

[20jaslena]

I love this!

[LoveCookiesPeace]

[fendidutchess1]

They actually seem to call every hour of the day :(, even if your 4 days late.

[PlayingHooksiesHair]

lolll sooo true. i am in SUCH a bad spot w my student loans. :( thanks for reminding me :(

[thomasgirl11]

How did you do your hair? I love it!! :)

[chescaleigh]

@thomasgirl11 it's just a bun with bangs :) I did a tutorial on my hair channel for this style a few months ago

[TOMANDJERRYRAN2GETHE]

college student anthem!

[heygirlgirl98]

She is singing the truth!!

[icky8vicky]

That's the story I hear 5 days a week... I work at a call center & I wish I could tell people I have student loans too; a bs & can't find a job in my field until I can save money for further education xP

[nk2228045]

This is still one of my favoriet videos.

[krich1121]

Great vid! Though 12% interest rate isn't bad nowadays (versus 24%)!

[chescaleigh]

@krich1121 holy crap. that's insane

[megabugginout]

i bet you taste like chicken...

[sunshinebx]

Love it!

[MikuMarmalade101]

[kedadivahot]

Lol! loved how you spazzed out at the end!

[GNYBerlin]

Great idea! Love the idea that this video now plays a part in you actually being able to pay off your student loans. Well done!

x Luci

[chescaleigh]

@GNYBerlin exactly! i never thought YT could be a job, but i'm so blessed that it's become one!

[ydoow2009]

[thejohnnyverse]

Oh, I am relating to this like you can't even imagine!! lol!

[JeanPaulzoom]

[khalilasbro]

[MrMarktiger]

I love it so funny

[hamonryehd]

awesome. seriously... had i known the cost of freedom i'd of opted to become a rockstar. only reason i do pay is parents cosigned loans for me, otherwise... to Mexico. or Canada... (which one had healthcare?)

[Lee111131]

[chescaleigh]

@lemarr523 ha! that's awesome!

[layleboo]

Love the hair!

[robwilson43]

Yeah, student loans suck. We've been tricked into spending a lot of money to got to schools pursue majors that aren't going to help you pay the loans back! Having said that, MIT has a new program that will allow anyone to MIT classes for free online, and Harvard will pay your tuition if you (or your parents) earn less than 60k. Feel free to check vid on my channel for details.

[AdasyXLover]

Me: :/ Your Voice: Like burn this thing.

[JPM32007]

Wow, This was a REALLY..... wait..... "Hello?" "Hi this Salie Mae, Calling for.." **Hangs up** Ok, where was I.. Oh! This was a really great video. KEEP IT UP :] ....*ring ring* -___-

[chescaleigh]

@TheKaitlinB thanks! yes, it's my real voice

[sugarrcookiie]

What program do you use to edit? After Effects?

[chescaleigh]

@sugarrcookiie Adobe Premiere

[blahmayne910]

lmao!!!! my theme song..... Student loans are B.S.

[mscruise0073]

I have a lot of friends going through this situation. I'm just glad that I was fortunate enough to have parents that could afford to pay out of pocket for my education, because now I have a degree and cannot find a job. I am just happy I don't have any debt to worry about.

[zeenuhh]

@mscruise0073 well aren't you fortunate:)

-_-

[chescaleigh]

@mscruise0073 hug your parents! lol

[avalosca]
