Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child

[PARISAIGNER]

I absolutely love this song. As far as the vowels go..i understand totally why you sang it that way tall vowel such as the ones you sang as greatly appreciated for songs like this. Continue to do you. It was lovely! :)

my daughter is singing this song in a solo and ensemble contest in school. it's not easy to do

Complimenti, very beautiful voice and technique, and you are very elegant too :-)

I agree with litoohun. I have watched some of your other videos as well and they seem to have strange vowels in them as well. That is what bothers me the most about your singing. You seem to have a good sound, but some of your vowels (and placement at times) realy let down your voice.

[litoohun]

it sounds like you're manipulating the vowels to produce a better sound. Sound's good but the vowels really bug me

[taskmasterlax]

awful, absolutely murdered a great song, why why sing in that stupid voice? awful

[l09mcglm]

yeah i know.. everyone else seemed to enjoy it.. am I missing something?

listen to Wynton Marsalis play this song its amazing

[taskmasterlax]

yeh , thats much more like it, i think we must be missing something ...i still say its a terrible rendition of a great song

[kamcolorado]

LOL, Actually that is the traditional way but check out John Legend's version.

[Shelob9]

just beautiful. Bravo

This is a beautiful song that is ranked 3- the highest for hardest- for soloist singers. It is such a lovely song

[motherbaer]

You have such a gentle touch - it sounds like a lullaby.

You are a fantastic singer! Do you currently have a CD compilation of these classic "negro" spirituals? If so, please let me know where I can purchase it.

Your voice is superb!

This song is hard because there is a lot of repeating so it is a lot about expression.

But you did a great good job and nobody surely would be bored.

I love this. I remember Lena Horn use to sing this. This feeling like a motherless child is a lonely feeling- a feeling of not knowing where you belong or what you are doing on earth.

You are a great singer,

Judy
