beautiful!..i wish i could do half as good...your vid was the first time id heard this and the reason i tried it..useless yes i know but a first attempt!!
I really like your voice. It fits the song very well and is very unique. I've got some original songs and some covers as well. I'm sort of terrible at singing though, so that quality is quite admirable
@madeinchina77 I completely disagree! As a "professional" singer you should know that the shaking of her voice ("vibrato") is what gives it voice such amazing character, and depth.
no I mean i agree its just that she does it on purpose but her voice is unique already and it makes her voice sound weaker then it is because her voice is already beautiful and strong....you know.
quit skaing your voice babygirl. youre voice is beautiful. shaking it makes it sound weak....its cute..but you sing beautiful, dont hold yourself back because you want to sound unique. youre voice already is. Beautiful cover though.(love the chicken)

I have to be honest...i love it that you can play guitar and sing, but i notice that you keep adding shakiness to your voice...and its cute but your voice is beautiful don't do that...you're only holding back that beautiful voice. you're making your voice sound weak on purpose and you shouldn't, but this still is a very beautiful cover.(love the chiken)
I love your videos, not only for your voice but the places you make your videos. They are always so beautiful. It fits so well with the song and it's heart breaking seeing such beauty and hearing it too
damn, i wish i had a backyard like that!! mine is seriously 10x10. no chance in hell i could record a video outside without my neighbors complaining :( but this is absolutely beautiful! :)
HeyKelsey :) I Love your voice,can i make a request?please - Five Finger Death Punch - Undone or Three Days Grace - Last To Know,if you listen to the songs they have such good lyrics you'll love it...
Love your taste in music. Great job on the guitar in this video, I love your voice too. In my opinion you use too much vibrato but that's just me! Great cover :)
@ellieboo1994 Vibrato is where you kind hear a kind of "shaky" quality to the voice. It can be done incorrectly and correctly but I'm not well trained enough to hear the difference in other voices. Anyway..yeah that's what it is. :)
She does have a lisp, but, with complete honesty, it adds to her greatness somehow.
I can't describe her sound, all i know is that she is one of the best people on YouTube that i have found. Her and TerraNaomi are the best singers on YouTube.
this sounds amazing..way better than mine..maybe you can check it out and give me tips on the finger placement?? because it was giving me a lot of trouble :/
Kels, that was absolutely lovely. I normally hate covers on youtube, but that was absolutely gorgeous and does this special song justice! Your voice and guitar sound great, and reminds me of the fabulous Stephanie Dosen. Check her out if you don't hknow her already!
I have a small pond in my back yard. And one day I was cruising Craigslist and found someone who was giving away little ducks, so I went and got two of them.
Just got your video through my subscriptions...although I can't remember subscribing haha but I'm glad I got it. I'm a singer-songwriter myself and I really love your voice and your really very pretty too! We seem to have similar influences judging by your covers, and I always love hearing originals and yours are great. Keep it up!
One of my favorite Iron & Wine songs. I think you'd do really well on 'Faded from the Winter'. I really dig your vibrato too. It's very...unique? It would compliment a lot of genres. Keep 'em coming.
Now seriously... Once more nice performance but I have to say it will not be one of my favourite.. I mean There are you made before songs I prefer, like F|_|ck was I and some other... Anyway don´t take this this as a "discouragement" its just the song choice I would say and you have anyway Lots and lots of positive comments so.... whatever... This is actualy one the balanced ones.. not too much positive but no way negative.. Keep singing... please...
I love your voice and covers. Please put out a cd! I would buy it and buy copies for all the people I know and then buy more and give them to people I don't know.
Then I'd buy one more for me so i'd have a back up in case of emergency.
Your voice is so beautiful Kelsey! :) I personally love the tone and richness of it...and they playfulness that comes with the vibrato. Your voice seems so innocent, but so adult at the same time. Keep up the wonderful singing! (thanks so much for all the videos)
She says on her Channel's Main Page that she won't change her voice for anyone. And I think her voice is beautiful. Besides, it's not polite to ask someone to change something about themselves. We aren't paying her to make the videos so we honestly have no say in how she makes them. She does these videos for her own enjoyment we just happen to stumble across her videos. We should either enjoy the videos or move on to something else.
I was telling her a way to make it sound better. I was not telling her to change her voice, most people when they post video's here on youtube they like to have people critique things.

She doesn't suck, I was just saying she can sound better but she's good. I'm not an idiot =P
I love when you 'shake your voice' it makes you different from the rest of those PICTURE PERFECT choir singers.. Keep at it. Don't change for anyone!
