Poor Wandering One

[celestemcgettigan]

Great voice! Maybe you could try poor wandering one in one key lower

You got the high notes pretty good though!

Don't touch your hair or make unnecessary movements while singing just a few gestures

Not too many breaths while singing!

[drama10210]

This the best version i have seen on youtube! Great!!!

[cuddlyable3]

You took that difficult cadenza and what can I say...you ARRIVED! Thank you and Mommy for posting this.

[AnnieLives]

you did very well! ( : good luck on your jury.

here are my constructive comments (with good intentions of course): try to take breathes from a lower place in your abdomen. it will fill out your sound and make it easier to hit those high notes. imagine an expanding balloon filling you with air right under your ribcage. ( : your sound is quite mature and beautiful though! lovely xD i love your styling of this

[flibberdajibbet]

Fantastic. I was Frederick in Pirates, and hearing Mabel do this song every night was just... amazing. You really nailed it, and that's hard as hell to do with any Gillbert and Sullivan, especially this song.

[caiogflopes]

AWSOME!

[Feathersandploom]

Pirates of Penzance!! :-)

[cc004]

Wow. I'm completely blown away!! I love your voice! I wish mine sounded like that!

[Feathersandploom]

Thank you so much!!

And I bet it could with lots of practice! <--That's what I do!

[marelovesu3423]

wow this is great! its a thousand times better than the other ones i have seen on youtube. it would be really cool if you could play mabel someday :) keep up the amazing work!

[Feathersandploom]

Ahh! :-D! Thank you so much!

I Would love to play Mabel!!

[lookinfine123]

This is a VERY hard song to sing! You top every song that I hear! Suzie, you never cease to amaze me! =] You have a lovely voice! Beautiful job hitting every note accurately! =] Do you take vocal lessons? Wonderful job! =]

Btw, this is kind of random, but have you read the Twilight Saga? <33333 =] :D Haha

Tootles!

[Feathersandploom]

Thank you so much! :-D!! he he hee! I do take lessons at my college, and I have never read Twilight, but I hear great things!

[SelindaLovett]

Please forgive my ignorance, but what style would you call this?

Brilliant voice

[Feathersandploom]

Thank you!!

Oh don't be silly! I don't think anyone would consider that ignorance at all!

I believe it falls into the category of 'Operetta' which is somewhere between Opera and Musical Theatre, depending on the director it could lean one way more than the other as well! :-D

[ChisaiJoyu]

Hope your jury went well!

[Feathersandploom]

Thank you so much!! :-)

I think it went okay, but it could have been better!

I got so nervous I started shaking which made my voice sound stupid!

But they were very, very nice!!

[ChisaiJoyu]

Juries are always so stressful! Glad they were nice at yours. They're not always so nice at my school. :) Makes me happy I don't have to go through them!

[showersinger34]

i do that too! i know exctly what i'm doing, and then i'm in front of people (audition or whatever) and i shake, and it all goes downhill from there.

[miciastro]

FAntastic.. what your mum says when you ask her to play with you?

[TraciJHines]

WONDERFUL Suzie!!! SUCH a hard song!!! I wish you the best!!! xoxo

[pteranodonfilms]

Take any heart....took mine.

[Feathersandploom]

Wow! :-D

Thank you!

[aurokaren]

[Feathersandploom]

[Hannahbell1000]

Oh, I forgot to add that I think it's so cute your mommy plays for you! I love my mommy too ( but sadly she has 0 piano playing skills) =P =D

[Feathersandploom]

Thank you so much!!

Moms ROCK!

[eava123]

Suzie, really. Your voice was made of Opera. Do POTO or Wicked.

[Feathersandploom]

Aww! Thanks!! :-) I am planning to do both sometime!

[eava123]

YES!!! I love you suzie!!!

[Kitten0fDoom]

Ah! Pirates of Penzance!!! And this is my favorite song!!! Mabel's part is so hard but you really did a great job. It really shows off your beautiful voice. I was thinking of attempting this song today, so imagine my surprise when I got this vid! :)

And of course your mommy is great on the piano. Yay for familial collabs!

[MollysIrishEyes]

Oh I LOVE The Pirates of Penzance!!! Have u seen the film version with Kevin Kline and Angela Landsbury? It's wonderful! Just like your performance Suzie.... WONDERFUL!!!! You are a gorgeous Mabel ;)

[peachyfedora]

haha. you and your mom were adorable.

i like the part where you plugged your ears for your oober high note.

:] happy happy

[Anna100l]

WOW WOW WOW!! I'm sure you'll impress that jury (be sure to bring your Mommy though XD)!

I LOVED your coloraturas!! If you're not going into musical one day then that's because you're going into opera! =)

Good luck for the 15th!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[samanthabianchi86]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOD LUCK!! but with this beautiful performance you don't need luck..you're fabulous! 5*!

[susieecool]

This is a great song for your voice. I think you'll do very well. I'd like to see more updates on this song though, to see your progress. I'm preparing for my violin and viola juries now. I sure don't feel ready.

[elpilotoazul]

I wish you well with your vocal jury duty. I don't see how you can miss. While this was a very good song, what did you do around the 1:50 mark? Your mom is a piano natural, by the way.

[Feathersandploom]

Thanks Dave!

around 1:50 I accidentally put the end in there without noticing, I was messing with the clips there to try and get the video in sync, I must have slipped it in and not noticed!!

My mom is just wonderful, and I am so luck that she is so sweet and plays the piano so well!

[elpilotoazul]

Tell your mom I said she needs to have her own youtube channel and play the piano for us more often. If she does it, I'll be her second subscriber, right after you.

[MartaaCristina]

WOW!!! u hav such a lovely voice! i agree with filathor its all about ur lovely voice!! and wow such high notes its unbelievable that u can reach so high i wish i could reach that high!! :(

anyway lovely singing! 5/5*

[Feathersandploom]

Thank you so much!!

It took me a couple years to hit that note, when I was really young I would try so hard, and just end up hurting myself, I am so happy I can hit the note now!! :-)

Thank you again!

[filathor]

helooooooo , just wonderfull singing.. i dont care about the camera,. its acting up as always :))) but its your voice thats its all about,. and its amazing and a delight to listen too,. your mom is very good playing also.. :)) iiiiiiiiiiik, high notes huh?. lol hugs,.

your good friend Thor

[Feathersandploom]

:-P! Dumb camera!!

It can't handle audio and video at the same time (at least that's What I think)

I am glad you liked it! My mom will be so happy when I tell her that people like her piano playing!!

Love to you!!

[Feathersandploom]

Thank you so much!! :-D

[Feathersandploom]

Aww! You're making me blush!! :-)

[Feathersandploom]

This is a good song indeed!! Thank you!

[Feathersandploom]

Aww! Thank you!

[fandangogirl]

You so rock!

[Feathersandploom]

:-) So do you!!

[luckyducttape]

holy crap you can sing high!

lol!

i know i sound naive but, wow.

[Feathersandploom]

Lol!! No, you don't sound naive!

I think it's high too!!

I always freak out about hitting high notes!!

I swear I'm like a child..

"MOM!! Listen to what note I can hit!!" <-Thats what I do!

[flwrgrl13]

wow! your mom is so good @ playing the piano!

beautiful! you sound amazing as well Suzie!

good luck on the vocal jury!! <3

[Feathersandploom]

My Mom Is AMAZING! :-) Thank you dear!!

I have high hopes for the jury! I want to get an A!!

[renethel]

I see that talent runs in the family! :)

Vocal jury for college?

LOL at 1:50! :0

Is 2:40-2:52 a trill?

And why did you plug your ears with your fingers when you hit the High Eb6 (which was hit very securely :D)?

[Feathersandploom]

Thank you sweetness! :-)

Yes, for college! I have never done one and I am so nervous!!

I attempt to trill...

I haven't really learned how to so I fake it!

My voice teacher tells me to plug my hears because I judge myself so harshly and when I listen to myself and freak out about the top note I never get it right, but when I plug my ears it makes it!

Thank you!!

[Feathersandploom]

*Ears

[flwrgrl13]

wow! im jealous you're in college!

(man high school is no fun)

[Feathersandploom]

Lol!!

I really liked high school, but you are right, college is much more fun!

[MissBroadwayDork]

Stop sounding so great. I get envious. Not fair. I showed one of your videos to a friend and he said you had a Julie Andrews vibrato. I was like "I bet she would LOVE that you said that." I love that your mom plays piano!!! What was that high note? An e flat? I have no clue other than it reminds me of Cunegonde's note in Glitter and Be Gay.

[Feathersandploom]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! He actually said I had a Julie Andrews vibrato?!?! AHH!! Give your friend a kiss for me! :-)

I think it was an e flat indeed, I think ;-)

I am working on Glitter and be Gay too!!

I love that song!

What is next for you? I miss your singings!
