[tubemetrini]

sweet

[MIZZNIGHTINGALE]

you say this video is two years old and you've learned a lot since then, well a novice like myself who wouldn't know how to start doing something like this thinks you did an awesome job.

[scribe712]

This is just too cute! LOL

[gmwoodworth]

Would have been better if you looked at "each other" Also, vocals should have been recorded separately...to avoid annoying noise

[chescaleigh]

@gmwoodworth this video is two years old. i've learned a ton since recording it but thanks for your feedback

[vonquiqui123]

OMG where did u get that dress!?!?!

[chescaleigh]

[bonitaestar12]

[hopetrnr0]

that bitch in the middle tryin ta still the shine... watch that bitch I'own trusta

[chescaleigh]

umm...i'm confused. what?

[hopetrnr0]

it was a joke lol. clearly not taken well. *the sound of crickets*but I was saying...this is the worse--explaining a joke--anyhoo... I was saying that bitch in the middle diana ross'n y'all takin all the shine---conclusion to this story is you did well in this vid..I laughed. I cried. the whole nine. Stay inspired.

[chescaleigh]

haa! you'll have to forgive me. i'm so unhip when it comes to slang. so it was completely my fault. thanks for clarifying, i'll be more prepared next time :)

thanks for watching!

[hopetrnr0]

I don't have a Master's in slang either.

[MzCfromShoMe]

girl good luck...i love ur vids

[sultry1231]

That was cute!

[slibbs111]

how come the girl on the left (who by the way, is clearly the cutest! :0)) gets her hand cut off every so often... did u not do the editing correctly? - great singing by the way !~

[chescaleigh]

Haa! Thanks! Actually, they all get cut off occasionally. It's because I turned my camera vertically so I could get my whole body in the shot. But as I was dancing, my hands would sometimes go out of frame. Originally I was going to put the pieces together a the same way I did my "future sex love song" video so it wouldn't matter, but I changed my mind. This was my first time taking something Like this on so I learned a lesson for next time. Thanks for watching!

[juicyonefour]

Good Luck, I just loved it. Took me a minute to realize all three women where you.

[chescaleigh]

thanks goodness i clarified that in my contest entry. i'd hate to be disqualified because they thought additional people were in the video!

[anotharemix]

That was too cute.

[shany9988]

Great editing !! good luck

[snh228]

check out my submission!!

[chescaleigh]

FYI promoting your video in the comment section of someone else's video is extremely bad youtube etiquette

[snh228]

[amj30043]

you are fabulous!!!

[JustStyleFreein]

Good Luck :)!!!!! i hope you win

[michellesaprofession]

that was great!! good luck with everything!

[blackeee1]

If i didn't know any better I would have thought that was three different people. ...lol. I liked it.

[chescaleigh]

haa! i think it's the hair...

[labatimamzelle]

how long did it take u to make this?

[chescaleigh]

i'd say....filming and editing....somewhere around 8-10 hours

[labatimamzelle]

wow that's awesome i really like it.. ur hard work/dedication will pay off

[chescaleigh]

Thanks! I hope so!

[labatimamzelle]

good luck!!

[deepsoulfusion]

[tashamont]

This is a very good video....I do like it, but I can't help but to laugh at "crayola342" comment about the middle you having chicken legs....I had to go back and watch it and I'm LMBO....too funny!

[chescaleigh]

haa! i know, it's weird. but i actually do have chicken legs. i swear, i'm buit so strange. skinny arms and legs, no boobs and hips for days.

[SxyDarkie]

[justanappygyrl]

[chescaleigh]

[hydvn6]

AMAZING!!!!! and you got hips too!!! i haven't noticed those til now you HAVE to get chosen!

[chescaleigh]

[ramelep]

3s a charm

[AvaWuzzHere]

its all 1 person

[ramelep]

You know I loooovvee your work!!

[VikingJuggalo]

If she doesn't pick this vid, then it would only confirm the fact that she is out of touch with reality and us the public.

[chescaleigh]

aaw thank you! they're picking 8 semi finalists, so keep your fingers crossed!

[prettyyoungthang91]

Girl, this video is SO cute! lol good job and good luck

[Glynis]

that was fun! Ches FTW!! how long did it take to make this?

[chescaleigh]

foreverrrr! i filmed last weekend and had a horrible time w my equipment. i wanted to do full body so i had to play w my camera a lot (and even then, my arms keep getting cut off. such a pain) and then i had trouble getting the lighting right. so i did around 10 takes. then i spent all day yesterday editing. in all, i'd say at least 10 hours for...a 2 minute video. it's crazy. glad you liked it!

[Zayney]

this was fantastic Chesca!!

[BrunetteBarbie21]

That was bloody brilliant! Haha at first I didn't know what was going on, I tried to spot you, then was like ' They are triplets what does she mean' then the penny dropped and I was ' Ohhh' LOL Brilliant, Good luck!!!

[chescaleigh]

HAAA!! your description of your epiphany is classic

[9LoL1]

[chescaleigh]

PS

i checked out your "competition" on the yahoo yodel contest...umm...you're so gonna win

[CMaddoxBiitch]

LOVE THIS!!! I was going to make a video for this too!!!!!

[chescaleigh]

hurry! today is the last day!

[DomesticatedDanger]

So damn clever! I'm OBSESSED with identical siblings.

[chescaleigh]

thanks! me too. being an only child i always wanted siblings, but what i really wanted was a twin sister. i'm sure it wouldn't be as cool as i thought it would be but it would've been nice to have someone my age to relate to growing up. but, in retrospect, being an only child is what made me so out going and creative. i was always looking for ways to entertain myself growing up. who knows how i'd be if i had siblings

[JayJuBo]

gurll u betta win lol

[chescaleigh]

can you call oprah and tell her that for me? thanks.

[whitemenaresexy]

another create video from Chesca. Hehe was kind of freaky though...3 Chesca's arrrggghhhh!!! Jokes. Good luck!!!!

[chescaleigh]

i'm obsessed with multiple siblings. always have been. i just ordered a new green screen and lighting set up, so get ready for more of these strange videos. heehehehe

[lburianek]

This was great and the girls were hot oh I tried you recipe for pan cakes. super.ran into a man at Krogers that moring by the cheese also for the same reason.

[chescaleigh]

thanks!

glad you were able to try it! that's so funny, maybe that guy saw my video too!?

[lovelush1000]

whats up with your legs there really really small!!!

awesome

[chescaleigh]

haa! well, i do have small legs, but it's because of the editing i did to take out the background. i don't have a professional green screen or lighting set up so some shadows were cast on my legs, so when i selected out the background, i lost some of them

[youngidis]

You are the best

[gigiboy23]

good luck! your amazing x

[kindsomali]

select them!! lol

[xflashinLITESx]
