Glitter and Be Gay - Candide by Bernstein (Hannah)

[mkurnat]

dudes... she was 15 in this video. give her a break. She's a lot farther along than some of the idiots trying to do this stuff in college programs. Great job, kid. Keep working!

She was very good, however as mentioned, she requires more training. It's evident in the jumps of her chest voice and her head voice. Also, I think she understood the words, but if she were to pursue more arias, she should really understand the character's approach of the song. For example, this song, in a nutshell, is about Cunegonde's obsession with jewelry in order to redeem her "honor lost." This song was supposed to be an internal conflict and not much is shown in this performance.

i will agree that she sounds great, but i can tell she doesn't have the technique and years of training to sing this song or any coloratura aria for that matter. women her age need to start with the basics. any proper voice teacher would know this

[marlomuck]

WOW!!!!!!!! The next star!!

[alyssaleclair1]

there comes a time when singing doesn't cut it...

you need to act this song as well as sing it.

[BaerchenprinzBln]

Can´t believe Hannah sings that difficult at such young age. Incredible. And excellent as well. Could be her trademark. I love that song. I hope she has a good teacher to keep her voice smooth a lifetime career. Her technique is superb. Was very entertained!!! Thank you. André :-)

[skitzo429]

she sounds good, she was a lot of vocal potential, but it would be a shame to see an earlier vocal deterioration because she was singing coloratura material too young

[asx5252]

@skitzo429 agree that singing coloratura at a young age can do things to the voice, but that is if you are singing it improperly. She however posses the technique to perform this repertoire.

wwow well done young lady!

[ledormant]

Hannah, you are amazing !!!!!!!! Thundering applause from France !!

[caymansings]

fantastic!!!

[Hicupsalot514]

simply stunning

[thejacobindemocrat]

You have a really nice voice, but you totally missed the comedic aspect of it. This is supposed to be WAY over the top.

[ThePiano1991]

Yeah, it's meant to be funny and comedic, but as this is a vocal competition, it probably didn't matter. The singing is sublime enough! Brava!

[Hollymaniac1]

Um, no one HAS to be older than 15 to do it. I'm 13 and I sing it. But that was very good!

[broadwaylove52]

That's not necessarily true.

Haha do you seriously think she's lying?

I can see why you would have trouble believing that, though... it was truly amazing.

[aeslehcnewo60]

there is no way that she is 15

[RaspberryRainbowS]

Have you been taking lessons? If so, how long? you're amazing.

[aeslehcnewo60]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! You are 15? that was an absolutely amazing performance.
