If You Hadn't but You Did (Kristin Chenoweth)

[inlivingwearedying]

song.. this song is ment for a certain age group. why would you push an age innapropraite song on this little girl, if its about attention.. get her to sing something never herd of.. instead of a risky one.. please consider you and your kid and the audiance. its more proffessional

[inlivingwearedying]

"coming home stiff" come on this is stupid, why should she sing this? she doesnt even understand half the song, singing is about expressing and loving what your expressing from the heart or when musical theatre, have some connection with the

[mymusicandphotos]

Agreed...great voice!...but what are you gonna sing when you actually grow up?

There'll be nothing left in the pot to choose from.

AND she has totally lost all the expression...the eyes don't talk to me at all..

It's just an imitation of an excellent singer...Monkeys do the same...

let's hear something age appropriate that you haven't copied from a recording..

And be careful of 'belting' at your age...develop the 'head' voice more for your own vocal health..

And ..yes I am a singing teacher

[MazzaCxx]

p.s. she has an awsome voice !!!!

[MazzaCxx]

hey erm guys you do know its called THEATRE its about playing someone else . . . someone who's not you ! plus almost every 12yr old knows exactly what this song is about they really are not all that naive

[MazzaCxx]

sorry to ruin it for anyone who thinks twelve year olds are that naive but most kids by the age of twelve know what it means to be cheated on hell half of the 12yr olds have had a boyfriend or one of their freinds has so i think its totally fine.

p.s. it is called THEATRE its about being someone else !

[kimt1987]

I'm very impressed!!!!! 

[MrSingingLewis]

Wow, she is one talented 12 year old!

[lianacarissaglass]

aww this was really good. excellent voice!

[sdarms111]

This girl is AWESOME!

[aiiirdryy]

wow she's awesome

[itsmimeep]

most 12 year olds know about this already. it's no big deal. it's not like the song is explicit or anything. :)

and wow, she is good!

[Hollyberry6595]

this girl is amazing. so much talent and such a powerful voice.

[thepinays321]

first of all, the musical is called Two on the Aisle. second, the year was 1951.

[crazysinger111]

i did this at my talent show this year. i will put it on my channel soon so please check it out and tell me what you think

[firestartertwistedfi]

very, very polished - she's talented but she's obviously worked and worked at it. terrific.

[crazysinger111]

i think she is to dramatic though

[firestartertwistedfi]

haha - if you think she's too dramatic you should watch kristin chenoweth's version! look forward to your version :)

[crazysinger111]

i hear kristins version like everyday. it is dramatic but not as dramatic as that. kristins dramatic shows her anger which is good. but this girl is younger so its not supposed to be annoying dramatic. and thanks i will post my version soon. but some of it you can't see my face becuz there are balloons that people are holding lol.

[minazahazazugemo]

that website (mp4ify) is actually Sweet for converting mp3s and mp4s from youtube videos like this

[laxygal4life36]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[brainyblonde218]

its kinda funny to see a 12 yrs old do this song. i mean the content and all

[DorisDayFanatic]

She's so great!!!

[shelbyolive]

WOW.

[BroadwayGirl826]

Wow, at age 12, this girl is amazing.

[tanamwob]

Awesome job! She has a wonderful, strong voice.

[wickedgirl411]

thats pretty good! kristin would be proud!!!

[musicinmyheadxo]

pretty good for her age... i'm impressed.

is it just a backing track??? do you have the sheet music at all?? i've been looking for it everywhere.

[littlemissactress]

its pretty much impossible to get the sheet music. you have to use kristen chenoweth's karaoke CD for 'Let yourself go'

[lindieness]

She is great!! She has an awesome voice, and she's really having fun with song!!! :D

[melzy89]

This is very impressive. Her breathe support and diction are very good for her age. This is not an easy song. I'd love to hear what she did with some classic jazz pieces. She's got amazing potential.

[BlondezillasMaid90]

she's really good....that song has so many words LOL....for a 12 year old...bravo!

[poppoppop24]

fabuylous voice lol shes a pretty girl 2 shes deffinately early 12s

[emanuelrp]

good voice, but she needs to put a bit more drama in the song

[JunkE4Theatre]

agree.and although I too think there really shouldnt be an age limit on songs--I think it helps if you know what you are singing about...where as I am not sure that she would at 12. BUT she does have the range to sing it.

[DotDotDotDotDot]

lol, I'm pretty sure any 12-year-old knows what it means to be cheated on... It's not that hard to figure out.

[kay9261]

@DotDotDotDotDot thank you people dont seem to understand

[OMGItsTotallyKyrsten]

haha shes funny.

[sixhuitneuftrois]

hm.. well.. she's too young for this song. it didn't even sound like she was into it... but nice voice tho

[FrozenCyberspace]

hey, she's a heck of a good singer. I hope to see this kid on a broadway stage.

[dancingsienna]

I agree, she does need to work on some dynamics, but she most definitely has the pipes!

[spikejunior]

She can sing that's for sure, but what were her parents thinking let her sing a song like this?

[OMGItsTotallyKyrsten]

haha, i agree. i love this song and shes relle good!

[vegiemusiclove]

Ooh, it's good.

& to all the people saying she's too young to sing it, who cares?

12 year olds know alot these days ;)

[piojito60]

am agree. But nice

[rosekelly]

nice but a bit flat x

[aimeeleighx3]

Woah. She's great! Imagine how amazing she'll sound, when she's older! :o

[idreamofsweeney]

great belting!!!

that was great

[licensetojive]

a little funny for a 12-year old to sing this song =P

[GreysFan92]

wow!! i'm 14 and can't sing it as good as you.

you have an amazing voice!!!

[dmhgbz]

She's pretty good for someone so young, but I agree with a lot of people... she shout-sings this song.

It's like she has one volume: loud. Parts of this songs, like the beginnnig, are meant to be quiet. She stays loud for all of it.

And again, she's 12... she (theoretically) hasn't experienced a man cheating on her with so many women... how does she a, know what that feels like, or b, have the acting experience to properly portray that feeling?

She's really talented, though.

[kstar121]

beautiful voice =]

Just....no 12 year old ever sing this again. When I wanna sing this at y school talent show next year, I'll be 14 xD

[dolphingirl555]

14 still isnt really a good age to sing this either... truly you need to be at least 17... we 17 year olds have had a lot more experience with dirty dogs and jack asses

i mean sure sing it... but if you want it to be convincing on stage (which if you didn't youd be a moron) then you need to have had at least some experience with a cheating guy!

[broadwaylove52]

you shouldn't put an age limit on songs, lmao.

[tinkwantspeace]

The content of the song is too mature. The girl probably doesn't even know what she is singing about. Though she has an amazing voice. If anyone knows where to get this sheet music..i would LOVE to know.

[animegirl078]

cool but have to work on some facial expressions

[PiggyLove4everrr]

Great voice for a 12 year old....but like something's a little weird....like shouty.

[klaxtriz]

she should sing it rather than shout it =/

[songlover5]

are you nut's???? she sounds amazing! not shouting at all!!! smooth clear voice.....I loved it!

[Derek51388]

she is absolutely amazing to be so young!

[CharleyxLin]

Wow what a voice! Great.

[MrsLovettt]

What kind of song is that for a 12 year old to sing?!

[jimdevico]

A really fun one ;-)

[CelineCrazy1]

It is a little a scary for a 12 year old. But hey, there are not many kids who like theater.

[kay9261]

@MrsLovettt um im thinking its a talent show so they probally changed some words and i dont think its bad for her to sng sing it

[drama27king]

WOW! Great voice! Amazing

[SenorFakiepants]

Wow, awesome video recording for the 1930s! :P

[ILuvTheJonasBros123]

WELL DANG! THAT WAS KOOL!

i couldnt do that *sniffle*

[GleoiteLiz]

Gorgeous voice!

[millydunn]

Great voice. Well done!

[undercoverblonde001]

Wow, that girl has a big voice! Good job.

[elphababathe]

wow! that was really good!! i wish i could sing like that!!

Kristin is a legend!

[TashaTurmoil]

thats not kristin you moron

[elphababathe]

narrr u dont say, i no thats not kristin!!! unless her voice has magically gone lower!!

and dont call me a moron

[elphiegreen]

way to assume tasha! i think anyone would know its not kristin...dumbass

[elphababathe]

who were u tlking to? me? coz i sed i no its not kristin. its pretty obvious

[BWombat12]

no, other person

[methebookworm]

that's pretty awesome for a 12 year old. Keep it up.

[BNL07604]

very good voice!

[lalagrl20]

i thought it was good for a 12 year old. you need to watch your 'ifs' though. but i loved your energy. =] good job.

[DeepFriedLife37]

ok i think anyone of any age should be able to sing what ever they want as long as they sing it well, and that it doesnt hurt there voice, it think you sang it very well, but you are a little young for it because the song is so big and difficult just wait and you'll be amazing! =]

[musicals]

Do you know what music company makes the background cd to this song? I can't fin it anywhere and I really want to perform it!

[Glissando2007]

Very good, but this is NOT a song for a 12 year old.

[jimdevico]

Thanks for your comment, but I respectfully disagree about this song not being for a 12 year old. Some songs are just fun to sing and there is nothing "inappropriate" about the song :-)

[Glissando2007]

I also respectfully disagree- what 12 year old shoots her lover? I agree, though- it is amazingly fun to sing.

[jimdevico]

Hopefully no one of any age shoots her lover LOL...guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one ;-)

[Glissando2007]

All right. Nice arguing with you. :)

[kay9261]

@jimdevico Exactly thank you

[futurejournalist06]

Wow, very good for a 12 year old.

[brettcadeau]

I smell famous!

[MyDiRtYsEcReT105]

*karaoke version. sorry.

[MyDiRtYsEcReT105]

ahhh.

do you know where you got the sheet music?

ive looked pretty much everywhere, they said its not in print? but it obviously is... haha.

id be very appreciative if you could let me know where to find it. (: thank youuu.

[yugiohfan387]

I don't think she's too young for this song. You people underestimate us twelve-year-olds. :) (Thirteen, on my part). We know more than adults think we do... *cough*

You did an excellent job on this song. A little pitchy at the end, but a great job, nonetheless. :D

[jimdevico]

Thank so much..couldn't have said it better myself ;-). And you are right I totally blew a note at the end.

[yrubutugly]

yeah, yeah, i totally heard that note too... i'm a music major in college, so i heard definitely it, but didn't want to mention it. what kind of warm ups do you do?

[piratejayftl]

The song is about a woman who kills her cheating boyfriend, so yeah, a 12 year old is a bit young for this song.

[HirosaysYATTA]

You did very well, but you should have added more physical stuff in there... Have you seen Kristin doing it? She's like, playing around with Joe's corpse as she sings it, and it looks great.

[jimdevico]

I have seen Kristin doing it (live in fact) but this was my voice recital and my voice teacher wanted the emphasis to be on my voice, not acting. I agree with you though :-)

[HirosaysYATTA]

Oh, okay. Never mind then. Great job on the singing.

[Xxemome666xX]

I thought it was fab just the way it was. It you had put more physical stuff in it. It might have made your voice shaky.

[Rajakant]

That was amazing. I really wish I could sing like that!

[yrubutugly]

this is a really good rendering considering that you are so young!

maybe if you sang it again you should try to add the physical part of the act.

[katkit2793]

I think people are being a bit harsh!

Whether this song is too old for you or not you did it great ;)

x

[jimdevico]

Thank you so much! I wanted to sing it because it is fun and I really enjoy this song.

[tennischick11692]

She is trying to sound old but the result isn't very good. if she sang a different song like part of that world or just around the river bend someother disney movie song perhaps and used her real voice not put anything on it would be a lot better.

[jimdevico]

I am not trying to sound old. That is my real voice.

[J3551M43]

(My comment is too long, so i'll chop it up)I do agree with some of these folks, though.

It seems like you'd like to into music when you're older, yeh? Don't stress your voice so much in these earlier years. It can do some harsh damage on your vocal cords.

[J3551M43]

I think you can sings different songs, not just Disney, but I honestly don't think you were ready to take on this song. For your age, I do think that you did fine, but its a more mature song, and i think should wait until your voice and techniques mature a little more too. At some points in the song you should like you're screaming. That would be fine if there was more performance. And there are ways to make screams melodic.

[J3551M43]

Please don't take any of this as rude. I'm sure as an aspiring star, you are use to, or need to be used to criticism.

[xDearEllie]

i agree that 12 is a bit young for a song like this but it really suits her voice and she did an amazing. and i dont think people should underestimate the understanding of people just because of their age.

good performance.

[dianadramaqueen]

Have you tried some Avril Lavigne? I think it would suit your voice, but it depends on what your voice matures to be like. When your'e 18, the sound of your voice could be totally different!

[broadwaykarebear15]

She's an amazing singer for her age. But her performing needs work. Maybe thats just cause she's too young for this song and her understanding of it isn't that good....

[beautifullytragic1]

Very good. However, she seems a bit young for this song...

[blondiiiiiiiiiiiiiie]

nicely done!

[theatredork4ever]

I like it. Well done!

[brodwaystar]

very good! i am very impressed!

[luisalubell]

very nice

[angryunclemartin]

what is a child doing singing this song? you have a good voice, and it'll probably be really amazing as you get older, but my god, I didn't believe a thing you said in this song because I don't think you understand a situation like this.

[rocafella885]

yeah.... she was pretty good... but i think she played with the song a little too much... but shes really good... and the song is called "If" isnt it?

[10v34rr0wz]

It's "If (you hadn't but you did)"

[jmxo8207]

you have a very strong voice at 12 years old! way to go!!!

[Hollywoodblondex13]

it was good but i didn't really believe you... you just seem waay to youngg first off but i you seem exsasperated... like you-uh do-uh... you need to hold the note and cut off the breath when the note does.. but terrific song huh? it's a mouthful

[10v34rr0wz]

Well, she's supposed to be angry at this guy. And she's sort of flailing around in panic.

[lickthelightbulb]

That was absolutely amazing, your belting was really good, (if that was belting, I suck at music all together) but did your voice crack a couple of times, or was that the pitchy-changy thingy in the music and I'm just insane? (See, told you I suck at music)

[twilsonca]

Just a little more diction, and less sliding

but you're off to a good start

[urockmysoxsoff]

this was amazing!!! she is like 20 times better than i could ever wish to sing.... and im a couple of years older... wow... her acting is amazing 2! has she done any theatrical musicals? i think she'd be amazing! good job ally!!!

[elliegurl724]

i found them after i posted this comment. but i was searching the real name of the song before, if . when i did search if you hadnt but you did it came up

[elliegurl724]

whered you get the lyrics?

[jimdevico]

There are many Lyric web sites....where you can get the lyrics Just search "Lyrics for "if you hadn't but you did"

[Firstlady1408]

Amazing!! One of my fave songs you did it justice!

[jimdevico]

Thanks!  It was so fun to sing ;-)

Ally-

[Broadwayzzz]

..wow

[xtanxTJEG]

Very good for a 12 year old! Just don't move ur arms so much, it spoils it, but good talent.

[songlover5]

Your only 12.......no way, that was GREAT!!!!
