[babyloved100]

very very very nice

[makumasen]

She should audtion for Disney... She sounds like a princess.

[angeltheya12]

your good . . .more feelings on the song i guess. . . . cause this song is so effing hard . . . not the notes or the melody . .  but the emotion in this song is hard to fulfill . . . you can just truly sing this beautifully if u'll feel it . . . sing it not brag it . .. (^v^)

[trplthr3atbella]

[casteout]

[ajthomasxox]

Amazing performance.

[nobase]

Season one of Little Big Star had so many talented female siingers. I can imagine some of them being on Broadway shows and a few can make it in the USA.

[svlirio2001]

good good good

[TokTok099]

Watch this girl. Give her training and she'll blosomed into a world class singer.

[a5sk1ck]

Bakit ang gagaling ng mga sumali sa LBS e puro mga bata pa yon tapos sa PDA o kahit anong singing contest ng matatanda di ganyan ang quality???

[Jitt91]

ÿou are really good :P

[prescillameis]

ehe itu lang pede ng itapat kay bianca,, kaya di sya pede ipares kay charice..

hay dami galing kumanta sa atin...

[BansheeShan]

Chills... It could be because my windowis open, and its freezing, but I'm pretty positive it's because of you.. Good job!

[crazychicalol]

very amazing brought tears to the eye you did a good version of this broadway number

[ligaya08]

101% performance.  di ako nagsasawa sa vid na ito.

[Thedreamer1211]

Bravo!!!

[ligaya08]

magaling ka talaga girl.  thanks for uploading this vid. relaxing.

[SingerInTheWind]

I can't cease to be amazed by your singing. If you compare all your preformances, you improve the older you are. Keep up the good work!

[partygirl887]

damn this girl is bomb

[pugass]

micahdlc,

I am a fan of charice, I found your video and you are good. good luck to you. I hope you upload some more home video or whatever as long as I may see you singing.

[ligaya08]

girl, kung ito siguro kinanta mo nung nakalaban mo si charice eh mahihirapan ung mga judges lalo na kaming mga televiewers. magaling ka!!! superb!!! sa kantang ito. 101% ang perofrmance level mo. sana sumikat ka din gaya ni charice. mukha kang sobrang bait. humble!!!

[ligaya08]

galing!!! girl, nung time na nakalaban mo si charice eh talagang magaling si charice. lam mo naman un. di bumagay ung kinanta mo nung nakalaban mo sya. sana ikaw na lang ung nakalaban ni sam para maganda ung grand finals. i love your performance here. di pa si charice ung nakatapat mo d2. si ronald pa lang.

[micahdlc]

The directors wanted me to sing pop songs after this so that call was kinda my nightmare. I'm completely focused on theatre and that's the start see...But I DID join for pure fun and experience while being fully aware that it was not my thing in the first place. And Although I'm forever grateful for this...I'm not really into singing competitions...I mean I'm just more of stage performing. Thank you very much ^_^

[Tique07]

Filipinos are ignorant that they didnt vote for you! They are stupid. They want some Whitney Houston stuff. But you were really really good. Galing

[micahdlc]

Well I also love Whitney Houston XD Well I think reality is, musicals are not as widely appreciated as pop. And that's okay, you know ^^ There's always an opportunity to enlighten others and give them the opportunity to hear this side of music. I'm sure things will change even just very slowly as we share our personal enthusiasm and love for what we do ^o^

[tayin85]

Ako rin, you were my choice. But I guess the Pinoy audience wanted more of the "birit" with the the feet-stomping stuff. I loved the way you sang - simply and from the heart, with feelings.

Keep on perfecting your art. Sana you get to be as famous as Lea. Buti na lang my Youtube account ka, nakita kita ulit. God bless!

[megamanfanXD]

wow! may youtube account ka!? =D

bet kita sa LBS before... =)

hehe... :D

[sofia143]

Your voice is beautiful and so are you!! There are people out there making millions who cannot sing a note, but you, you should be making their money, because you can sing, girl!! Keep it up, you'll be a star, you need the right kind of publicist!! God bless you on your journey!!

[micahdlc]

Ramy I hope we could keep in touch! Say hi to your mom for me!! I miss you! *Hugs*

[MarkA15]

Omg I just read someone's post and they said you are better than Lea. You both are very talented. I know you're mature enough to not be selfish. :)

[micahdlc]

I have loads of respect for Lea Salonga. I'm really far from her level too. ^_^ But it would be really great if I can perform on Broadway someday too. Just dreaming about it gives me chills. XD

[MarkA15]

You have that broadway voice like Lea Salonga. You WILL make it as big as her. i can see it already.

[XxXAngel13XxX]

[micahdlc]

[fkmiko]

a very good singer for a 13-year old.. but i think she just copied lea's rendition..it would have been better if she had her original rendition for this song..anyway,,nice try kid

[dawgguh592]

whoa!!!

[ArmandsChild]

are you a soprano or an alto?

[cjmdelavic]

ooh ur a very graceful young alto! keep it up!

[err37]

Your great!

[alexis001]

she miss pronounce ....he "is"...

[micahdlc]

Maybe the h was not very clear because the word was "he's" ^_^

[thevegan]

wonderful. i sang that song several times and so has my best friend who is also a singer. The song always gets a lot of praise. great song choice! great job!

[MissxStupid]

YOUR O SO GREAT!

I can't sing oke I sing flat :p

[kinkyPrincess]

o my gosh you are amazing!!!! im so jelous lol where did you learn to sing lik that?? xx

[Madbutt]

Some momentary flat spots, great tone and control. No flat spots in your other videos so it was obviously a once off. You are superb .

[augustine73]

good! lea salonga has the best version of this song.

[pau121chula]

Wow cool nice voice. I love this song

[pau121chula]

Cool nice voice and i love this song too.

[pau121chula]

Nice voice i like this song. My fav cool

[BringItDown]

This was just gorgeous!! What an amazing talent and control!!! Just beautiful!!!!

[micahdlc]

UUUY! HELLO! ^_^ Sure ba!

[javawinq]

Yes just a little flat at times, but the audience was clapping throughout. It's hard to hear oneself with distractions. Overall, I'd say she could be Lea's successor or understudy. Very, very promising. Mature tones with good control and vibrato. One of the best OMO performances I've seen bar none. Keep up the good work.

[Kayarlynnean]

you are amazing!

[micahdlc]

Thank you very much :) *sigh* I still have a loong way to go ^_^

[Valdez17]

I NO U!!!

[garanganjang]

great performance.... excellent. very very...

[Kara2009]

i love this song it is ther greatest in the world on the way to football games me and my friends sing this song. She does a beautiful job on this song she has a wonderful voice.

[globalbit]

very impressive!

[Amkii]

XD Beautiful!!!!

[SUArrow32]

wow...u r amazing..where do u find these kinds of things to enter..i know im not great but ive always wanted to enter some sort of competition

[ayruh]

Wow. Ang galing mo! Really amazing. i never watched this show though.

[mrandal]

Oh wow...you are amazing!! This is coming from a very critical person and a vocal performance major! You have sooo much potential! WOW! Good luck!!

~Mary~

[TicTocMinistries]

Ah, my dream role from my dream musical! Gotta love your Eponine!

Beautifully done, my dear! Thank you for sharing this!

Love,

~monica:)

[bwybound]

wow! did you win?

[sintya123]

yes she did men!

[bwybound]

i'm not surprised. it's pretty rare when a teenage girl sings and doesn't try to sing pop-ey you know?

[oksana1]

That is amazing! Wow. I'm actually at a loss for words ... That was almost as good as Lea's. Absolutely stunning. Perfect! *runs out of adjectives.* =)

[micahdlc]

Thanks for your comments ^_^ I'm auditioning for two roles this year so please pray for me. I am really thankful for using your time to watch this video. :) I'll do my best next time.

[Deva7]

It's been a pleasure to listen to you! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and I'm sure you'll do great on the audition! Lots of luck:)

[TheArtful]

It´s so beautiful. I love the song and your voice is truly amazing (and you are so young). So if your voice is this good at this young age then I can imagine it´s better than anyone else´s voice in the future ^^.

[Deva7]

You really moved me - you're so talented, your voice is a true gem. And this is not an easy song to sing - I'm impressed you handled it so beautifully. You mentioned one of your idols is Lea Salonga; you know what her power is? She never tends to oversing the song - although she's got a strong voice, she knows it's good to keep belting for the right moments and to sing softly and honestly rather than showing off. Just believe your own heart and sense of style and you're gonna be a GREAT!:)

[notarstar]

Amazing...

[doughnutman196]

I commented this already, but I cant get over how amazing you are, and I would love to hear you sing "Easy as Life" from Aida, I don't knwo why but I think you would sing it amazingly.

[thiswaste]

wow- you have a gorgeous gorgeous voice. And you are only 13! Keep working on it, maybe we'll meet each other in the musicals someday =)

[songlark]

Great voice, but you skipped a verse or two. =/

[micahdlc]

It's edited. It's a contest you see....all our songs are shortened. ^_^

[songlark]

Ah, I see.

[pinkcolap]

Wow... Ur voice is so strong!!! I love it!

[BalvenUchiha]

NOT ONLY ARE U A BRILLIANT SINGER,UR VERY BEAUTIFUL TOO!!!!!^+^

[itwasnme]

By the way, have you found any one who would pair up with you and try singing A LITTLE FALL OF RAIN? :) just a thought.

[micahdlc]

:p Nope not yet..love that song btw

[itwasnme]

not bad, if you keep it up im sure youll get there. :) it would be nice if ms.lea salonga can give you pointers hehe. As young as you are... youve got a nice voice.

[expressthis]

wicked cool

[evolutionized]

you have a really nice voice, i cant believe your only 13, you look so much older =p

[glamtastic]

Wowww, you're amazing!

[Mysticimp]

You are fantastic!! absolutely amazing!! on my own is one of my favorite songs,you sang it sooo well

[AmberAllen]

You're simply fantastic... I would LOVE to see more of your work!

[jamsmen]

You are a fantastic singer keep up the brilliant work.

[SilasWillow]

incredible. not only are you beautiful, your voice is so powerful, even at--thirteen, did you say? wow. just...wow.

[alekhinesgun]

Micah, you're a Great singer\actress as well as a beautiful, sweet, intelligent, and humble person--but nobody's perfect. :-)

[micahdlc]

AWW! XD ^_^ Nice...I don't deserve those words haha! THANKS A LOT! ^_^

[nobase]

Do you have more video clips from the contest? I remember you sung a couple of songs in the show.

[ultraviolet2915]

incredible!!!!!!!! 5 stars really isnt enough!:)

[korilein]

she's very beautyful!

[irishrose3473]

why the hell are you not on broadway? youre better than lea salonga, who was eponine when she was 16! ur absolutely incredible!

note: about the verbratto, don't sing pop...

[nobase]

lea was Eponine when she was in early twenties.

[micahdlc]

I want to be on broadway XD Well I'm still young and preparing for that day IF that day comes :)

[PrincesaArdillita]

Wow I can't wait til your older to hear your voice again and see how it has matured. Great stuff!!

[kristiroxx13]

you're awesome! and even if you were flat like some of these ppl here are sayin, you just need to work on it and you'll be great. you should try out for broadway when you're older.

[violetkiss]

you have a really good voice!! =] lol my vibrato is quite slow still!! XD wut are some good excercises that i can train to make it hopefully stronger and a bit faster??

[emmy144]

beautiful voice.

[mayken04]

reminds me of miss saigon...

[LadyMithrain]

Amazing!!! Beautiful voice !!! :) keep singing !!

[polarqueen]

I thought it was amazing! And don't get too discouraged at people telling you you were flat...the only time I noticed it was when you pointed out "I've ONLY been pretending" but other wise I don't know what people are talking about! My god I consider my self a pretty good singer but let me just say that when I was 13 I didn't even approach that level! I would love to hear you when your 19-20!

[Kikionkiwi]

The vibrato comment wasn't supposed to be mean at all, just helpful, and this girl even messaged me saying she agreed and that her vibrato has sped up since then. my vibrato used to be as slow as judy garland's, but with training it sped up a bit.

geez

[urgh87]

you're gonna be a star!

[Fallenangelboi13]

That was really good.It wasn't the complete version becuase my friend sang it this year.YOu have a great voice.You will make it so far!ood luck and keep it up!

[Kikionkiwi]

hey! coming from someone who has played eponine and usually hates every version except hers and lea solanga's.. you did freaking amazing

although i do have a tip. you should definitely get some vocal training on that voice as soon as possible, your vibrato is way too slow

[fatgirlgrobie]

what company did you play eponine with and when? her vibrato sounds just fine to me. every singer's is different.

[Kikionkiwi]

but every singer aims for a certain type of vibrato. And you're already stalking my comments here, there's no way im going to tell you what company I played eponine with! But I will tell you I played her from June 2003- August 2003. My boyfriend played Marius.. what are the chances huh.

[fatgirlgrobie]

stalking your comments? i apologize i didnt realize i was doing so. perhaps it is stupis but i rarely check the usernames when i reply to a comment. i was unaware that i had responded to anything you said before. i assume you arethe one whjo commented in the mascara girl's video. i thought what are the chances, i found two former eponine's here. so much for that
