    That was amazing!! You should have played Kate Monster!! =)

  • I love your voice. A LOT. :)

    And I honestly like your version better than Stephanie D'Abruzzo's. And I LOVE Stephanie D'Abruzzo. So major kudos!

  • peopel say ur voice is overpowering but i disagree. i think you just build in plenty of emotion into your singing. you obviosuly love the song, and it might relate to you somehow? anyway, your voice is amazing. ENCORE !

  • awesome! love your voice!

  • ....I hate you. =O

    Just kidding. xD Your voice is so pretty! =D And congratulations with your wedding. ^.^

  • you're amazing!

    do you take vocal lessons and do they help?

    thanks! =D

  • Age...???

  • I'm 25.

  • Great voice. :-) I think everything's already been covered in all the comments! I enjoyed it. Thanks.

  • make sure to check the recording levels before bounce to CD. the sound is too hot when you go for those belters, but great job!

  • where's the backing track from?

  • Do you seriously know how amazing your voice is ?!?! I'd kill to have it ! :D

  • youre voice is wonderful!

    So much power ... do you plan on doing theatre? Youre voice is perfect for it!

    Anyhow, amazing version. I really enjoyed it. :)

    Could you possibly send me the backing track? If it's too much bother don't worry! Just let me know. :)

  • Pretty good. You sound better to me and you didn't jump the ending, but it's a bit overdone in places.

    Just trying to be constructive.

  • Your voice is beautiful, but very overpowering. It's hard to tell what's going in the background. You're also off alot with the beat. Overall though, I do love the sound of your voice, so you have plenty of potential. :D Good work.

  • OMG, that was AMAZING!! The audio was a little fuzzy towards the end, but your voice is INCREDIBLE!!! Um, I was wondering, where did you find the karaoke version of this song? I've been looking EVERYWHERE for it! Could you send it to me, or the link to it real quick? I'd be REALLY grateful if you could, please!

  • Thank yoU! I sent you a message. :)

  • I saw! Thanks again!!

  • wow. that was AMAZING!!!!!! youre voice is sooo great! id love to sing this but i cant find it without vocals lol

  • Thank yoU! I'm really going to have to put this online one day. I have so many requests for the backing. LOL!

  • where did you get the backing for this? can I have it please? I have been looking everywhere for one and I can not find it. Nice job, by the way.

  • I've got to upload it, but you can find it on the CD for "The SIngers Musical Theatre Anthology". IT's a great book and worth the money.

  • you are really good! but maybe you should do it without the echo!

    but very good voice!

  • Aww, thank you! I love "reverb" though. LOL! I'll try it one day. :)

  • wow, keep it up!!

  • Thank yoU! I will!

  • lol, watch the verbrato though!!!!

    :)

  • From the 3 videos I've seen of you (Mama Who Bore Me, TWAI, and this), ALREADY I see that you have enough talent to take on just about any role, and are able to sort of make your voice sound like the character signing the song. (I hope that makes sense... sort of strong like Elphaba and vulnerable like Kate Monster and curious like Wendla) That's SO AMAZING, because some people on here (and on Broadway :P) can't do that. This was fantastic. And... THAT was a long comment. Sorry!

  • I get what you are saying. Sorry I haven't replied earlier, btw. I really appreciate you taking the time out, to leave me this message. IT means SO much to me. :)

  • hello. ok this is my advice to you... because I've actually sang this song for a recital before. it's really good... and the character voice is awesome. But the thing that my voice teacher told me was to sing it forward ( like you are) but to do it in your voice. other than that... you did an awesome job!

  • Hehe, I guess I do have a bit of a "character voice" as far as allowing myself to sound a bit younger in parts, but haha, I don't think I intentionaly did it. Thanks though for you help. I'll work on it again and see what I can come up with. :)

  • You're good. You sound like the original, but you can clearly tell it's not...er...that was supposed to sound complimentive but now I'm not so sure...

    You're an excellent singer. This song has nice range and...well this song has a lot of things to exercise a singer's voice...Most people can't sing it, but you've done really well.

  • LOL! NO worries, I get what you are saying. :) This song really is a vocal exercise! I loved the challenge of it all, and really need to sing it again, and see what I can do with it. :) Thanks so much!!

  • where did you get the backing for this? I reeeally want it! :D

  • Not sure really. I'm going to make it my weekend project to get links to all my backings, so check with me soon. :) Thanks!

  • aw, come on, it's OBVIOUSLY her singing. you can tell she's using a microphone. amazing job, this is a perfect song for your voice.

  • THANK YOUUUU! LOL! I really appreciate you sticking up for me. Though it's a compliment for people to think it's NOT me, I still like the recognition of my work. :)  Thanks againnn! :)

  • This recording combines the best elements of the "heavy-hitters": the tone quality/pitch sense of D'Abruzzo, the power of Atherton, and the expressiveness of Faber. Yet you also make the song distinctly (and terrifically) your own. This was a pleasure to listen to. Kudos.

  • Oh wow! What an awesome compliment! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me. Sadly, I've lost my voice, due to a bad cold, so my spirits have been down, but this cheers me up. Thanks so much! :)

  • thats not you :( it has eho and sound EXACTLY like the origional

  • Aww, you are sadly mistaken. It's me. :) But thanks for the compliment. Oh, and if you get a chance to, please listen to my other recordings. : Thanks

  • hard song 2 sing!

  • It's a challenge. :)

  • You have a beautiful voice and it's a pleasure to listen to. Seriously wow.

    I wish I could sing like that, Sometimes i sing better than others. =/

  • Aww thank you. :) Just keep the faith in yourself, and you will do just fine. I try not to compare myself with other singers, just because I am always too hard on myself when I do. :)

  • Yeah I think you're right =)

    I'm going through a tuff time right now so I sing to vent my feelings. I guess that sounds silly huh?

    But I love this song and your version is just brilliant =)

  • That's not silly at all. Singing is a great way to expell some of that negative emotion you keep pent up inside. I sing for the same reason sometimes. :) Thanks again!:)

  • You're welcome =)

  • Damn, the was exceedingly well done. I wish I could hit those high notes like that! I can sometimes, but I'm usually not confident enough to just go for them xD Anyhow, beautiful work. What a pleasure to listen to (:

  • Thank you so much! Seriously, sometimes I'm not confident about hitting those notes, and when I'm not, I suck at them. YOu just have to hear it in your head, know you are going to hit it, and hit it. :) Keep working out it. I'm sure you'll be great! :)

  • Who? LOL!

  • thats really good

  • Thank you! :)

  • best version i have heard. including the origional.

  • WOW! Thank you! :)

  • LOL! Really? I love Christina! LOL!

  • This is very well done. I'd like to perform this myself, where did you find the backing track?

  • I got the link in the forum section from daretosing. :) Let me know if you find it. :)

  • It sounded a little flat to me in the beginning but I suppose the way you hit the notes could have been a purposeful choice. it seemed a bit choppy to me. You have a very pretty tone and I love the way you did the second 'there's a fine fine line between love and a waste of your time' Your sustained 'love' note was gorgeous.

  • Who knows, at this point. LOL! This was so long ago. I really appreciate your critique. It always helps to get someones opinions. :)

  • omg this karaoke thing is so cool, could you email the mp3 or something? oh, and needless to say your voice is wicked in this, LOVE the belted bit at the end and the way you say time really quiet at the end. so SWEEY!

  • you are definatley great i can say that i cant wait to see you on broadway who knows maybe we can do avenue q together lol jk i cant sing as well as you keep it up

  • Hey! You never know, we just might! :) That would be awesome! Just keep singing. You will be great, I'm sure!

  • nicely done, where did you get this karaoke? I can't seem to find it and I am buying a karaoke machine next week and would love to have this song, but is it available free online?

  • I got it on a different karaoke site. Where people post their recorded songs. daretosing Try the forum, and I'm sure you will find a link to the song. :)

  • Your voice is so amazing ( :

  • i for one think all of your songs are amazing. just a question, how do you do those effects with your titles and text and stuff, because i have a bunch of voice recordings, but no videos.

    thanks and you truely are amazing!

  • Thank you so much! I use Windows Movie Maker. I just add the title and pick the way I want it to show up. It's all guided. I wouldn't be able to do it if it weren't. LOL!

  • very good, just as always =D

    nice belting at the end

    and congrats about your wedding!!

  • Thank you! :) I need to re-sing this song. I'm working on it with my vocal coach now, so it should inprove. :)

  • coolness

  • this si good, and i dont realylike this song

  • LOL! Thank you! :)

  • im crying i adore avenue q i just orderd a set of the puppets im in love with this song i love your wicked stuff 2 well done hunio!!!!! xx Jordan xx

  • Aww! That's awesome that you got a set of the puppets. I've seen the show once, with the origional cast in NYC. IT was sooo much fun. I dind't expect it to be, but man was I wrong! :) KEep in touch!

  • This is gorgeous. Thanks for posting =)

  • Thank you! I will.  Be on the lookout for something new. I HOPE to have something up soon. :)

  • Hi again! I couldn't resist coming back to hear you again, because this is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us out here.

  • Aww, thank you so much. I'm the one that should thank you, for coming back, and being so supportive of me. :)

  • ...

    That was amazing. :)

    Avenue Q is probably my favorite musical of all time. This was just great. :)

  • Thank you! I very glad that you liked it then. :) Keep in touch! :)

  • Aww wow! That means a lot to me. Thank you. :)

  • I thank you for that! :)

  • I can never get tired of listening to this. You should be a singer on Broadway.

  • That's great to hear! Thank you so much. I hope to be on Broadway one day. :)

  • wow...thats beautiful...as someone else said, youre so into it...im just speachless....

  • Thank you! I like to pull all of myself into a song. It comes from my vocal lessons. We work on the full picture, so it's becoming a great habit of mine. :)

  • This is the best one i have heard. The other ones, where they tried to sing to themselves, they sounded completely different. DD: <3 I'm saving.

  • Thank you for the compliment! I give everyone credit for trying at least. Heck, a year ago, I didn't sound like this at all. It all comes from practice. :) Thank you for saving it as well. Keep in touch! :)

  • I love this song!!! Really hope you get on Broadway soon, keep us posted :)

  • Thank you! It would be a miracle if I did. I have NO experience in MT, other than singing the songs at home. YOu never know though.  I'll keep everyone posted as I go. Thank you again. :)

  • Did I already comment on this? I don't remember, and I don't care. This one was really, really amazing. You got so into it. It was moving. :(

  • LOL! Thank you so much! I've been doing a lot of character development, with my vocal coach. I'm glad to hear that it's paying off. :) Thanks again! :)

  • Again. Wow. I love how you make the songs your own. AND, being an Aussie, I love that your voice isn't TOO American. Sorry if thats odd, but that annoys me with some singers..

  • Thank you! I'm so glad that you enjoy my recordings. It really means a lot for you to have taken the time to post a comment on so many of them. Thanks SOOO much for that. :) Take care! :)

  • WOW, I really like this one to, I have never heard it before lol, now I I like it.

  • Thank you. The song is great, IMO, and not just me singing it, lol, just the song in general. :) It kinda tugs at ya. :)

  • Lol, yeah.

  • LOL! Sometimes my answers are a bit odd. In fact, I guess I am a bit odd as well. LOL! But the song is very nice. :) LOL!

  • What does IMO mean?

  • in my opinion

  • Oh ha ha, lol.

  • Great musical. Your voice is amazing as usual. It's really coming along great. Ive finally posted myself singing 'think of me'- check it out if you can. But really i love your voice and Im sure everyone will once you get on broadway and show it off some day! :]

  • Aww..thank you! :) I can't wait to hear you sing TOM. :) It's such a great song. We just got home with a load of stuff from the old apt..so I'll check it out ASAP. :) Take care!

  • i have to say that the song does sound really good and I'm going to guess it is you because of the breathes in between the stuff. And the fact the really high long pitch part you kinda screeched ;-). No offence, i really think you are good.

  • LOL! Thanks for the listen. :)

  • Ooh, this is really powerful! I've never heard it before, but I love it!

  • Yeah, some songs really stand out for me in musicals, and this one is one of them. It's so emotional, and well, powerful, like you said. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

  • ...Woahnow. You're getting married? Congratulations. :D

    Glad you found someone. :]

    But another nice song. Can't wait for the next one. :3

  • Yep! Next month. I'm pretty darn excited. We have everything done now, so all we are doing is waiting. :) Thank for the comment. I hope once this move is over I'll have a new song up for y'all. :) Take care!

  • That's a Broadway voice if I've ever heard one.

  • Wohoo! I'm so glad you think so. I really want to be in a musical one day. I'm giving it my all for my training so that I can be ready for the next Wicked open calls. :) I hope I make it for a callback at least. :)

  • ur a great singer!!!! ill never be that good..... :(

  • Thank you, I'm glad you think so, but don't doubt yourself. With the right practice and training, you can and will be even better if you try. :)

  • wow, you're awesome!! :)

    I love this song! :) Where did you get the karaoke version?? I can't find it anywhere....

  • Aww thank you! I can't remember where I got it, to tell you the truth. I just had the file stored on my laptop for quite some time, and found it a couple of weeks before this recording. :) I'll see what I can do for you. :)

  • I meant encourage... I can't spell for the life of me..

  • LOL! That's okay, neither can I. :) I understood you though. :)

  • Congrats on getting married!! He better enough that lovely singing voice of yours. ;P

  • Thank you! :) He does. He's probably the only one that really believes in me, and is willing to help me on my journey. :)

  • Hey girl :-)!

    I hate youtube sometimes, lol, I was (or so I thought) one of the first people to leave a comment on this absolutely STUNNING song . . . But now I don't see my comment, lol. This is by far your BEST . . . You're getting better and better! So whatcha got planned to do next? Oh! & when you get the chance, e-mail or PM me about Coleen, cause I'm still dying to know! TTYL!

  • Grr..I'm trying to reply but it wont so I'm going to PM you my reply. LOL! Thanks!

  • You're awesome!

  • I think you are awesome for always being here and listening and commenting. :) Seriously, it really means so much to me. :) Take care!

  • Thanx, I just want to encourage you cuz I think you could go very far if you want to, and I know from experience that when you're feeling sad or discouraged it always helps to know you have freinds that support you, so if you ever feel like that, know there are people out there who care and think you are great! Best of luck!

  • Thank you. :)

  • you are really good! I'm glad you put lots of songs up :)

  • Thank you. :) I hope you enjoy them all. The oldest ones are before I started vocal lessons, and as they get more recent, I think vocally they are better. I hope you find the same. :) Take care!

  • Woah. You are REALLY good! Hopefully we'll see you on Broadway...? Keep it up, because you are GOING places!

  • Thank you very much! I hope you will get to see me on Broadway. One day. :)  Thanks so much for the support. :)

  • LOL! You don't bug me. :) Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know. :) Take care!

  • great voice! I love it! I'll go to London in a month and see avenue Q :D I live in Norway.. So it costs.. But my dad wants to go to London and me and me best friend wanna see avenue q so.. We will :D I can't wait

  • Thank you! Your going to love the show. It's soooooooo funny, and well, everything else. The songs are catchy, so you'll be singing the for about a year, I'm sure. LOL! Have fun!

  • I have downloaded all the songs. I love them :D

    And I've seen some clips from the show.

  • Awesome! :) It's always so much better in person. :) Have fun!

  • Now I've been there! It was sooooo great!! Much much better thn expected! I thought I'd die og laughter! All the actors cept Julia Atherton was there and I got to meet Simon Lipkin and Jon Robyns at the end ^^

    They're so amazing ! :P

  • Awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. When I saw it in NYC, I was reluctant to see it, but my now fiance told me he had heard great things. Wow, did I have a great time. I was so glad he talked me into going. :)

  • This is so beautiful! I think you'd do extremely well singing Somewhere That's Green from Little Shop of Horrors. :3

  • Thank you! I'll look into that. I'm always looking for new things to sing. :) Take care!

  • Aww, that's so nice! I'm actually thinking about doing Thank Goodness. I have the backing, and I can hit the ending notes, I just have to work on my timing, and then I'll put it up. :) Thanks again so much.

  • Do you get better every time you record or what? Your amazing girl :D

  • Aww thank you! :) It's the lessons, if I do. I can't say enough about how much they have helped me. I don't think I'll ever stop taking them. LOL!  Thanks again. :)

  • Beautiful!

  • Thank you. :)

  • Your Welcome!

  • You sound different.. but the same in this song (if that makes sense). Your voice kind of reminded me of the Disney characters in the movies like Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast and stuff. That's a good thing, by the way hehe

  • Thank you! I'd take it no other way. :) Now if only I looked like a Disney princess. LOL! I get ya though, it does have a bit of a different sound to it. I was going for a tad bit of Kate Monster, but felt that I should stick more to my voice, since I wasn't actually performing it live. :)

  • Wowwee O.o

    Amazing :]

  • Thank you! :)

  • Your voice is gorgeous.

  • Aww, thank you. :)

  • another good job!!!! loving it :)

  • Thank you! I'm glad you did. :)

  • wow your amazing at this song! Totaly the best you've done xox

  • Thank you! It's all because of the lessons I've been taking. They are working! :)

  • I've not seen Avenue Q yet... but I'm familiar w/ this song. Now I will wait to see this show... until you're in it singing this! <taps fingers on desk> ~Phantom

  • Aww, that's awesome! LOL! Still, I say see it NOW! It's so much fun to watch. :) Take care!

  • Another great job! b^^b Keep it up!!!

  • Thank yoU! :)

  • ..and thank you for that! :)

  • Thank you! I'm glad you like it so much. You should check out Ave Q as well. Like I said before, it's amazing. :)

  • Ahhh!! the kiwi returns!!!

    I like the Kate voice. In fact, I like how you made it your own at the same time. Very elligent. I don't care too much for a few of the belting parts, but other than that--- PERFECT!!

  • LOL! I am back! Thank you. I was going to try for a full on Kate monster, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I think the song has so much emotion that I wanted to bring out with my own voice, as much as I could, keeping in character. What can I say, I'm a belter. It's what I LOVE to do. LOL! Still, I'm glad you enjoyed the rest of it. :) Take care!

  • I thought I left a comment already...but oh well. I didn't know you were getting married! Congratulations! When is it?

  • I have to approve my comments, so that's why it didn't show up. It's about two months away. :) I'm soo excited. I'm going to have my dress fitted at the end of the month. Everything is coming down to the wire, but it's just so much fun!

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, Your next Kate Monster and Lucy!! I love Avenue Q! And now, well, I LOVE IT SO MUCH MORE!! You have to send me this, You so have to...I'm not kidding. *hugs*

  • Wohoo! LOL! Thank you so much for that comment. I've never reallllly considered trying out for Ave. Q, but hey, it's something to think about now. LOL! I'll send you a link soon. *hugs*

  • you are a mean woman..

    i asked for

    You were mine from Dixie chicks...

    Why are u so mean with me??

  • Aww fatalete, I am sorry. I'm not trying to be mean to you. I'll try to get it up as soon as I can. :)

  • i was waiting for your singing...

    you have a fan... you can see i dont actually send too many responses. but i like your voice.

    as i told you before, i believe you have a future as a singer of musicals, i dont see you on a cd, but yes on stage.

    I will know i actually do some musicals down here in south america.

  • Aww! I will get to it, I swear. :) I really don't have any aspirations to be on a CD, but yes, the stage. I love live theater. It's just so beautiful, and heck, I've only been an audiance member, not even a performer. I can't imagine what it's going to be like! Thank you so much, again. :)

  • You're getting married?  Congratulations! I didn't know that!

  • Yep, and thank you! :) It's about time we tied the knot. LOL! It's been 8 years!

  • I'm always anxious and excited to see what you post next and honestly, i have to say, i'v never heard this song before but this is my favorite of all of your recordings...i really like itt..!!! Great job

  • OH, that you so much! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to put up a new song, but like I said, I've been busyyyyyyyy. Still, I have about three songs lined up to sing and put up here. Thanks again! :)
