[mmr3229]

amazing.

Very nice! =D

[HeyMrShesMySister]

InvaderKyra: Hey! I know you! LOL! YES! I agree! AWESOME!

[InvaderKyra]

I'd be scared if you didn't know me XD

[periwinklemooose]

This is really good! Just one important comment! No matter how weird it sounds, you have to put more nasal into your voice, the reason that millions of great singers aren't right for show biz is that they don't have that nasal thing. I know it sounds like I'm pretending or whatever, but ask ANY pro musical theater teacher or whatever and they will tell you that!

[Trianglesandmusicals]

nasal tone usually isn't very well accepted, the way I was taught was to have a certain tone quality depending on the character, I see where you're coming from though

It wasn't very Maureen it was something good but not maureen

[periwinklemooose]

It's true, it completely depends on the character but for Maureen, I have to disagree. Have you ever heard Idina Menzel as Maureen? she was in the movie and the play and she does have nasal. I mean it's not supposed to be REALLY nasally but most characters should have the little "extra oomph" it doesn't have to make them snotty. I was playing elphaba from Wicked and my teacher (who was on broadway) even said that I had to have some nasal for that!

[suberbinsnipa]

damn you have a great voice...:)

[WackyWeasley]

YOU WERE FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[horsechick13]

fucking AMAZINGGGGGGGGG u sound kidna like idina menzel :)

[mandi518]

i like your own take on it, verry nice

[truegrey42]

Would you please release a CD so I can buy it!

You're so good, I wouldn't pirate you!

<3

(But you gotta have the video to go with it... best singing facial expressions ever)

[madafaka48]

excellent! i love RENT.

[prepsexpot69]

You have such a great voice. I am so jealous of you!!

[HeyMrShesMySister]

Maureen is my favorite character and you would be an AWESOME Maureen! I'm jealous! :)

[CCarmen]

LOVED what you did to "take me for what I am". delish;)

[JennaBenna2334]

Wow. You're amazing.

Like. Better than the movie amazing. GREAT job.

[LoveSmoochesMyDog101]

[overthemoo]

The contest is over and she was one of the winners.

Congrats, girl!

[LoveSmoochesMyDog101]

[calahanbaby]

Not bad. Good job. Like the passion you put into it.

[lacantante]

:o voice beautiful:)

[grxkn]

good job!

[LJ1317]

That was incredible.

amazing job.

[bellaitaliana166]

Very nice...i like your name too haha

-Candice.

<3

[JoeVialFilms]

LOL! It's just an expression I use to encourage people with talent (like Candace) to embrace it and let loose with it. It's not meant as a form of direction, as "belting a number" the way Ethel Merman or Patti LuPone would. Great point though, citrusbust. Happy Holidays! You too, Candace! (:~D

[KayyKayy39]

wow, ur so good!!!ur really great...u seriously need to keep singing girl!!!just remember tht singing is 20% talent and 80% heart!!!

[RENTlover02]

Amazing voice....I Heart This Song!!!!!

[theatrefreakforlife]

Incredible voice, but you should work on what you do with your face while you sing, it's distracting to watch you wrinkling your nose and forehead, and those things aren't essential to producing the sound. The sound is amazing though!!!

[JoeVialFilms]

Good point. I see what you mean. But you know, I rather like her facial expressions. It adds character to her performance. Ultimately, it would all depend on what the play's director would be looking for. Bottomline, as you said, she sounds amazing! BELT IT, CANDACE! Peace and be well everyone.

[2megan7]

Perfect. I would really like to hear more songs from Rent. I think you could sing Light My Candle really well. Either that or Out Tonight.

:)

[ZacharyStockdale]

just getting my daily dose. perfect. thanks :)

[AmericanWoman84]

You are awesome! Keep singing girl!! You have such soul!

[JoeVialFilms]

Isn't she something? She blew me away with this video, the first of hers I ever saw. She's Broadway Bound! Oh man, can you imagine Candace singing "Part Of Your World?" I wonder what that would sound like? Hint, hint, Candace... ;~)

[LaVieBohemex0x]

great job!

[downtown82]

I'm missing a spark in your eyes...

[dreamalittledream176]

WHOA! You're insanely fabulous!

[JoeVialFilms]

Magnificent! Attitude, style, soul and that voice! You are Broadway Bound! Go for it!

[JoeVialFilms]

Yeah, yeah, you're so full of shi... Oh, wait! Ha! It's MY comment... Ha, ha! Oooooooooo! How embarrassing...

[yolaloljk]

Oh my goodness, that was phenomenal! It was just so unexpected. I didn't exepct such a deep, rich voice to come out. It was great. How long have you been singing? And can I have your voice teacher's number? : )

I'd like to hear you as Joanne, I think that would sound great.
