[PureHayabusa]

[Kronixun]

Cry for the moon, please))) Please)))!

[P0lC0x]

great voice!

[chivoxs]

Hello, you know something girl? I really!!! love your voice, is awesome, but I think that it would be AWESOME that you be less Simone Simons and MORE LIKE YOU, be realistic, you are alike her but Simone Simons is only ONE. Congrats for your beautiful voice! and take it as an advice :) Bye

[richmanjack]

Nice Voice! Congratulations...

[xXLunaxX22]

You're beautiful :3 Nice cover

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

There may be some mistakes, but overall, this shows great promise and a beautiful voice.

Excellent.

[darktarja666]

very good

[LifeAsSteph]

WOW

[SvenskOwnage]

Amazing.

[SakumaRyuichiNG]

There are some mistakes here or there but I think it's a fair try; i particularly like your vocal colour. And your vibrato is pretty as well.

Be careful with high pitches 'coz there's lot tension there and that's no good either the sound nor the voice.

Your voice is in the head always i think o.o just wondering if you're taking singing lessons(?)

[goodmusicisgodmusic]

Hey that sounds really great to me. Sure there is room for improvement but when do you launch your own band and get out of that garage?

[geogreg27]

Incredible voice. Your range is brilliant. Fabulous direction.

(( HIGHEST RATINGS ))

[xMRxIR0NMIDGET]

this is fantastic! there are a few things I would work on, but I'll nobody wants to hear that. xD

otherwise...the intro made me LOL. the scream was awesome. and the fact that you did this from a telephone booth thing made this even better. LOLOL.

but great cover, a lot of potential!!! :DDD

wonderful as always.(:

[MAURICIORUBIK]

:S this is a hard song ... well done... and so funny xD... try to practice more ;D

[Huzzawful]

i can definitely hear where you switch between head and chest voice, can you drag your head voice all the way down? its not really that far

[Armanichapinboy]

Beautiful!!:D

[1baratone]

heheheheheh! loved it especcially the SCREAM!!! you little Goth :))

Merry Christmas...xoxo

[Torito19]

amazing maybe u can start make a band :)

[TheMandrakeNeverDies]

You should totally do Alone by Heart, oh and well done on the vid you sound better than simone in places!

[SebitaGP]

Me caso contigo :)

Te mando un beso desde Uruguay

[Simone36661]

Her voice is very gentle and soft, but your is so powerful and

obsessive.I think you're cover beauty , because it show you're own voice in a covered song. :)

[Patrick01012010]

You have the gift and plays with her voice as a child. I had fun watching you. I discovered your channel because of a friendship invitation of a friend I received recently. Good thing he asked me, because only then you have found here on Youtube. I am very happy with this discovery and will be a pleasure to have her in my contacts. If you will register and comment on my videos, ok? Kisses!

[Briannicus]

Imust say I enjoyed this cover. I've been a fan of Epica for awhile. You did rather well for being in a frigid garage. The goofy moments were quite entertaining. Not perfect but it was definitely a good effort.

[vicbennu]

have a great voice and are very sympathetic ... Avalanch group know? I would like to someday sing "Baal"

[uroboros90071]

very very nice)

[AKoribut]

Too hard song for you.  Wrong velocity and sometimes simply out of tune.

You should practice it a bit more

Nevertheless nice try)

[sterketjerke]

You still look like the younger sister of Simone ... You should really make that metalband

[J1J7W]

It looks like you are in a well lit porta-loo.

Great cover of a hard song, and some funny bits too :)

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@J1J7W I am. I was taking a dump through the entirety of this song. Maybe I shouldn't post that on the net.

[J1J7W]

@MakingTheMetalBand haha, you did well to hide it!

I don't know, some people might watch that...

[frealynn]

sounds awesome as always x)

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@frealynn thanks

[ValuriDeNisip]

3.25 simone did that too :P you probably know it.

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@ValuriDeNisip the sound or the hair flipping? I knew the band often head bangs there.. I was I guess joking around about it :P

[ValuriDeNisip]

@MakingTheMetalBand there's this video on yt entitled "Lovely Simone Simons" and she does the same move :)

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@ValuriDeNisip weird. I wasn't aware.

[willtms]

Greeeeat! But I am not surprised either, you have too much talent Mary

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@DEATHXTXTXTX I am curious where all of these comments came from :P

I has the feeling I missed somethin...

[Jamiebaker15]

This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Huzzawful]

nice

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@DEATHXTXTXTX it is a joke :P

[abbynormal0ne]

Pretty! I'm jealous of your sound recording equipment!

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@abbynormal0ne This is just the built in mic for the camera.. what helps is that I am actually standing fairly far away and just zoomed in. Dynamic mics are a lot easier to use live but I usually try to use a condensor (AT2020 USB) so that I can get cleaner vocals :)

[abbynormal0ne]

@MakingTheMetalBand Wow, really? I can't really do a whole lot with my webcam since it's built into the computer, but I do want to get a nice mic and other sound equipment. I am simply much, much too loud for my built in mic.

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@abbynormal0ne Well this isn't a webcam which makes all the difference. For most of my mics I have to turn the input down to about 5-9% to avoid maxing it out (control panel>sound/adio settings> select mic> properties .. or something like that). Then I load the audio into something like Audacity and normalize it to about 95% to make it louder. It is a pain in the ass. With this camera I can just sing and at least it doesn't sound like a swarm of bees attacking.

[abbynormal0ne]

@MakingTheMetalBand Yeah, changing the levels doesn't do much for this computer, and I've tried doing using Audacity to fix things, but the built-in mic is seriously so horrible that there's no magic an audio program can do to fix that mess. Not only am I loud, I'm a soprano, haha. When I get some money (well, first I need a job, haha), I'm going to invest some money into audio and video equipment.

[JoeAtlan]

Good job Mary :) You're amazing.

[omerdrow]

but still. Lovely as always :)

[omerdrow]

You lose tension on 0:55. You shouldn't have used vibrato there. You are also a bit off rhythm wise. 1:49 is a better example of what you wanted to achieve but still you lose tension. 4:01 you missed the first bar.

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@omerdrow Actually I intentionally put in the vibrato at the end. I like it that way. To each their own.

[tarjabeauty]

greeeeat voice mary!! awesome cover

[hazard0225]

Great!!!

[zahavandre]

Powerfull voice! ò_ó 

[KillingKeymo]

I can already see the worms, turning into butter & flies.

[KunegundaYEA]

Wow, you have a great voice!

[StephLeGratteux]

ha ha great to see that kind of video sometimes because most of the time we all seem so serious making these covers xD

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@StephLeGratteux Yes I agree. I actually thought of you when uploading this haha

[StephLeGratteux]

@MakingTheMetalBand why ? do I look so serious on mine ? xD

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@StephLeGratteux I might have the names confused with another Steph but somebody had made a comment about these covers being taken too seriously before and I agreed :)

[chicobomm5]

handsome intention you have very pretty voice follows without ^ _ ^

[JanisLithium]

mmmmm you always seem to sing the lyrics wrong?

[MetalCranium3]

I am always looking forward to your videos

1) You are really cute :P

2) You have a great taste in music >:)

3) You sing really well :)

[DeadOnNight]

Is this what you meant when you said you were improving? Awesome! :P

I want to sing like you one day! xD

In fact, I want to be like you when I grow up!.....oh...wait....

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@DeadOnNight Well actually yeah I am improving.. :P

[emppuhexan89]

Very nice Mary, well done!

[victordv]

hahahaha! so fukking funny! And a little stupid question.... Are you drunk? hahahahaha

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@victordv uh no... I was just.. how does it go.. born this way.

[victordv]

@MakingTheMetalBand oh sorry for assume things. But your covers are usually so serious and with so much editing. This one was very different. Very funny and happy!!!! Anyways, nice one. Its impressive how high you can get. Have you ever broken glasses with your voice? hahahahahah

[GregsKitchen]

damn you're cute

[Sensorium88]

The very ending sounded great. :) You know, after the chorus when it's all "aoooooo OOOOoooooOOOOooooooo oooo ooooooo" lol

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@Sensorium88 ah thanks. I'm glad people don't seem to mind the little changes to the melody I made. Also glad at least one part sounded OK haha

[ashavari]

LOL AWE, Mary, you're so cute :). I loved the meow hahaha.

I like the way you sing... it's nice to hear it all raw with the camera and such :).

I just have oneee tip for you... try to work on blending your lower register with your headvoice! Your head voice is stunning and your chest voice is hot... but the transitions aren't always the smoothest! Work on it a little more and you'll be sooo pro! ^___^ [i mean, you're already pretty pro.. but YOU KNOW :)]

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@ashavari ah yeah meowing.. I make a regular habit of it without even knowing it.....

[MakingTheMetalBand]

and also I am trying to work on that... haha

[MakingTheMetalBand]

I forget to think about it...

[ashavari]

@MakingTheMetalBand Eh well, you were just having fun after all :). Honestly, i struggle with that too. I'm confident with both my higher and lower register , but when it comes to the middle..it's like ARGH, SO MUCH EFFORTTT. :p

[StormColdSoul]

@ashavari: I totally agree with Ash. Also would recommend working in the way you end each sentence ^^

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@StormColdSoul Sorry but I don't follow..

[creativenick1]

just admit it! you're Simone's lost sister! nice cover, enjoyed!

[MakingTheMetalBand]

@creativenick1 We do look and sound pretty different though :P... how about 3rd cousin twice removed?
