  • holy cow... damnnnn- my brain cant process what it just took in. its PERFECTION.

  • Wow you should be on the soundtrack

  • If someone thinks that you're lip-syncing, they don't have a very good ear. Your voice is unique & completely different from other recorded performers. Voices are like fingerprints. Keep sharing your gift with the world, and if someone doesn't like it, well, they can tune in to American Idol.

  • @psalm27sjb Thank you very much! Your comment certainly made my day, no.. week! And you have also made me laugh, so there is a bonus :) Thank you again.

  • Every once in a while on this planet there appears a rare jewel talent. This lady is at the top of the most precious. It seems that many of them came from Europe. I am so proud that she is American.

  • @itswagon I really don't know what to say to your comment. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this means to me, honest.

  • You arguing people are just plain depressing.

    I absolutely love your voice. It's amazing (: I'm so jealous xD

  • Can everyone just stop arguing and just enjoy the beauty of this. Beautiful voice.

  • This isnt like opera opera. I think the ohantom of the opera is like semi-operatic. Opera is waaaaaay more shaky and off the note. You should play christine

  • Melody you have a beautiful voice. Thank you for sharing it with the world! Have you ever thought about trying an Enya song with that pure voice of yours? I'd love to hear you sing one. I am a singer myself and listening to your videos encourages me to sing whenever or wherever an oppourtunity may be present. You are an inspiration. I hope your singing hopes come true. Looking forward to your next video. : )

  • Very gifted, that voice has a quality in that it "flies effortlessly" with a very steady tone and that is indeed not everyone's posession. Take good care of the ability.

  • Judging by your tone, cadenza, and lyrics, this entire performance was based off of the 2004 movie The Phantom of the Opera, not the actual stage show.

    I hate to disappoint you, but that is NOT opera. Nor is singing like weak-voiced, horribly sustained Emmy Rossum anything like an opera/professional singer.

  • @bookgirldoesvlogs shut up if your so good you do a video and post it as a video reosinse . She did great,it is about singing not which one she did. She did amazing thats all that matters.

  • @moti304 I was merely stating that this is not opera. I'd hate for her to confuse Phantom- specifically a MUSICAL- with OPERA. And what she sang does matter- the professional factor of the movie was extremely low, compared to the stage show.

    This has nothing to do with whether I can sing it or not- which I can, and if you look up MizzifiedSparrow I have singing videos there- but a knowledge of singing, which dozens of Phantom movie-lovers sadly lack.

  • @moti304 If you want a properly done Think of Me, look at the stage show (ex: Sierra Boggess in the concert). Compare that to the movie. The stage show technically should be a standard; vocally it is a higher and more professional sounding one.

  • @bookgirldoesvlogs Still arguing about this? I'm tired of seeing your bashing comments. I know it's not an "Opera." Yes it's a Musical, but the movie IS called "The Phantom of the Opera." Everyone has their own opinions, which doesn't make yours higher over others. Emmy is a lyrical soprano more than a coloratura, yet she did an excellent job imo. As for me I sang this without any vocal training, and I was a lot younger. Sorry I disappointed you but I can't please everyone.

  • @SugarbabyLA I'm not bashing. The fact that you perceive it that way is not my fault. Emmy is not really anything, to be frank. Singing in a chorus at the Met doesn't mean she's a wonderful singer. In truth, she had little training. She was out of breath often. They had to dull down the score because she could not sing it. Excellent job?

    You do have a lovely voice, but using the movie's version as a standard gives people the impression that you're just another hopeless "fan".

  • @bookgirldoesvlogs Look, I agree that the movie pales in comparison to the stage version. I honestly can't watch it without cringing whenever Gerard Butler opens his mouth. But you fail to consider that it is far easier to watch the movie than the musical. It is the very first version of Phantom I ever saw. Which introduced me to the book and eventually to the musical.

    So please don't knock her for paying homage to a version of Phantom that greatly widened it's fan base.

  • @ReprehensibleWombat She said it was opera. I corrected her. It's really that simple.

    And I have considered. That's how I was introduced. But fans of the movie alone tend to think that the movie is perfect, the singing is flawless, etc. When in truth it isn't.

  • wow, now that is talent

  • I first saw the T.E.D. presentation of the Virtual Choir, and then saw the link to your amazing solo after the video. You made such an impression even in those few seconds, but when I saw this my heart fell out. My mother taught me to sing to Phantom with her when I was a child, even though I ended up as a baritone and can't reach the tenor parts anymore; but hearing you perform this extremely challenging piece with such ease and beauty took my breath away.

    In the words of Raoul, "Bravo!"

  • Beautiful

  • are you sure the actor wasnt lip sync and you sang??? cuz dang ur voice is good!!!!! subscribed!!!

  • You have a beautiful voice. Do the world a favor and keep singing!

  • You know that HUGE orchestral sound you put in your video? Well, you deserve that in real life, on stage and in my home town where I will be sitting front row and centre listening to your every breath!

  • Youre so good!!! You should go on American Idol. (Or go to Britain for Britain Idol. They love opera ;D) I'd totally vote for you all the way! 8D

  • great song for your voice!

  • Bravo!!! That was AMAZING!!! =D

  • You're my favorite now. OhmyGOD. Let's be best friends.

  • I love the comment at the beginning. Any good vocalist would know that's definitely not lip syncing. And wonderful job! You have a gorgeous voice!

  • How are you not a major star? I found you from Virtual Choir and can't help but think; how are you not a singing legend?

    Many people have/had talent. But you, you have something amazing. Truly.

  • Your voice, your Angelic countenence are almost too much to digest. Saw your work some time ago, and lost track tending my own business. Another fan is here for you on the same planet, and beyond.

  • You touch my heart. You look absolutely beautiful and your voice is amazing.

  • Gorgeous voice and a beautiful woman. Kudos!

  • omg i had hoped i would hear you sing this song :)

  • I saw you singing with the Lux Aurumque and was very surprised that this showed up in the sidebar, you are very amazing.

  • Such a beautiful voice, I'm very...speechless!

  • Oh goodness gracious, you have the most amazing voice.

  • you are just amazing. I love opera and have a voice for it, but it's nothing like this. you are just fantastic. I hope you decide to show your face in the musical world someday. We'd be happy to have you.

  • fantastic voice :D

  • Good lord. Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. This is the most beautiful singing for this song I've ever heard.

  • I just have to say that when u jump notes like that at the end it gave me chills. That was gorgrous. I have to admit at first i thought u might be lipsyncing because it was ridivulously good but i noticed u could hear ur breaths in and there were very tiny differences that made ur performances unique. I loved it sooo much!! Keep singing!

  • 6 people have stone ears.

  • This was wonderful! Lovely...

    I agree with the others that your hair looks adorable!

    Would love to hear your voice more "raw" with less reverb also, it's beautiful!

    Off to check out some other of your recordings. Thanks for sharing!

    ~The Humble Diva

  • WOW. You have an amazing voice!!!!!!

  • Your voice is absoultly amazing OMG! Amazing.

  • you sound like a disney princess. <3

  • It is so ironic her name i Melody

  • bravo! Magifico! Simply beautiful.

  • WOW!! you are incredible and lovely! 

  • When I first saw a picture of you, with those eyes and that smile, I thought I was seeing a angel. Now that I've heard your voice, I'm convinced that you are one. I understand and I respect that you do this for entertainment purposes only, but I truly believe that you deserve to be on the world's most famous stages. This is just my humble opinion; I sincerely wish you all the best.

    Thank you so much for the joy that you bring us with your performances. You are exceptional.

  • Beautiful boice and oh so smooth. I hate it when I come across a voice and they ruin it by "screeching"slightly in the super high notes. You are fantastically adorable-Can you be my fairy godmother? haha

  • You certainly have one beautiful and amazing voice! You also choose a beautiful song. You are very talented indeed. I'm sure you will go far :]

  • i like it! =) Though video isn't so clear, the voice is! What microphone/gadgets did you use?

  • you have the potential. get professional training and go for Broadway!

  • you should do angel of music!:)

  • My very Favourite Opera. You do such a wonderful job on the tracks you have done. BRAVO !!

  • Thanks. Listening to you has brightened my day.

  • You are still astonding. May you reach your dreams and please allow us to fly with you too.

  • you look like luna from harry potter

  • Wow! That was fabulous! You are as beautiful as your voice is. I love that song and you did it tremendous justice. :-)

  • Beautiful voice. 

  • Beautiful voice!

    

  • @leahpeah14...i don't want to offend you but u seriously don't hear the difference beetwen Sarah Brightman and Melody? listen TPOTO again...and turn it up...

  • @LiMona7 no offense, thank you though. I never listened to the original first before I listened to hers. I hear it now.

  • Comment removed

  • @leahpeah14 Sorry to disappoint you but that is me. Listen to my other videos. What a rude comment...

  • @leahpeah14 You must be deaf! Because she definitely DOESN'T sound like Sarah Brightman to me. Hear the difference between the two? Melody is softer. But yah she's cute though, that's the only thing your'e right about.

  • Comment removed

  • how ARENT u famous?!

  • After listening to this I listened to Sarah Brightman and Jackie Evancho-your voice is much clearer and pleasant to listen to. What a future you are going to have!

  • My girlfriend, Julia, stood next you in the Carnegie Hall performance of Paradise Lost. :)

    Oh. and my mom's name is melody. :)

  • My girlfriend, Julia, stood next you in the Carnegie Hall performance of Paradise Lost. :)

  • Beautiful! Summed up in one word.

  • What an amazing instrument you have been trusted with. And I can tell that you are taking good care of it and training it well. I'm so pleased for you and expect to hear more and more great things from you.

  • Absolutely sweet, unfulfillable longing. Your voice and your treatment of this song was as good as I've heard in the theatre and I've been to the Phantom. One test I put to voices is "Can I listen to it over and over?" You passed will flying vocals!

  • Thank you - My favourite play and you enhance it.

  • I love your voice!!! 

  • wow thank you:)

  • Beautiful, that's all that needs said.

  • Daaaaaaaannnng......You're really really really really good! :)

  • Well technically this isn't real opera, & I'm sure Melody knows this ;) but her voice is amazing. I wish I could belt a tune like that

  • I LOVE YOUR HAIR! HOW DO YOU GET THOSE AMAZING CURLS? I'm serious! I have curly hair and can NEVER get it to look that good! :) (Oh, you sing pretty good too!)

  • @TaLuvsBurt Aw haha well thank you very much :) I don't do much to it, only a little bit of Aussie mousse and hairspray. Oh and I use a hairdryer with a diffuser that attaches to it. That makes A LOT a difference.

  • @SugarbabyLA

    yaaaay the same hair & routine as me! and another soprano! and a beautiful one at that! :DD

  • Hi Melody - Like millions watching the Ted presentation, I fell in love with the power that the internet brings in the hands of creative people like Eric. At 51 I've only just started formal singing lessons - and as expected - it now means I cannot look at singers the same way. Congratulations on your debut in Lux and I wish you the best in your journey too - Brava! Pierre

  • I really like your voice!!!! I know that opera's pretty hard to sing.

  • Good! good job! As a voal teacher, I feel inclined to give a couple of pointers if that's ok. ^_^ This is musical theatre stuff, so it's probably ok to scoop a few pitches cuz it has the pop feel to it, but I would warn against it. It takes away from the beauty of the sound itself. The very last appegiated descending notes, connect them in one stream of motion. And make the portamento at the end more Italian, (try to hit every note going down rather than sliding). Again, very nice voice!

  • You are just an angel... Incredible voice and smile.. you deserve the world! I was so impressed when i saw you on TED talks...

  • 1000,000,000,000 times better than Rebecca black! Like if you like this comment please!!!

  • your voice is ahmazing! wow! and youre pretty too :)

  • Uh, hello! We have talent here!

  • Like so many people I found this video due to your involvement with TED's broadcast of Lux Aurumque. You have a clear, shiver inducing, goosebump raising voice. That's a GOOD thing! Phantom makes me goosebumpy when I like it. I hope you go as far as you want to!

  • That....was.... AMAZING!! (my jaw just dropped)

  • BEAUTIFUL! Inside and out. You need to be famous.

  • Ooooh well done, very well done indeed

  • You were fabulous in Lux and this just took my breath away. Looking for more of your videos. I'd love to hear you sing Ave Maria.

  • Absolutely breathtaking!! God has blessed you with a beautiful voice. (:

  • i love this song

  • try Ave Maria, it's German but it worth to try though

  • Wow your voice is amazing!

  • sweetly effortless. that was lovely thank you.

  • Wow thats beautiful! <3 You are amazing. Keep going melody!

  • That run, gave me CHILLS.

  • Beautiful! Bravo! You bring tears of joy to my eyes. I will surely remember you.

  • oh my gosh when you hit that really high note at the end and then did the run...oh i got chills!! you are amazing!! i heard you first in Lux Aurumque and the same thing happened. thank you for posting this. it is wonderful :)

  • You are amazing :)

  • You have a gorgeous voice.

  • you sing soooo beautifully =) from one opera singer to another you are very talented... have u ever had opera lessons before?
