karina at White house 1

[ACJViera]

why is she giving her back to the audience?

[kklr123]

did someones phone go off??

[chrisnooknook]

she sang this so beautifully:)

[desih17]

She is soo blessed in so many ways

[arianarocks223]

she sounds like beyonce

[AZBound3]

@arianarocks223 better than Beyonce!

[vapid1000]

Misty...this is one of my all time favorite jazz standards. Karina Pasian did this song much justice! This is one of the most beautiful renditions of "Misty" I've ever heard!  And I have heard many sing this song...all the greats...Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald. Karina is on her way to being a "great"!!

[mizqueen88]

that was just beautiful

[ladysincere011]

Miss U.S.A should practice her reading more!

[golden2314]

the run @9:16 was ridicuous! very beautiful... i like her better den alicia keys

[wcdv2]

why can't you except her as she is?

[shaniquagarrett]

miss usa is a horrible speaker

[AZBound3]

Karina is God sent! God smiles everytime this girl sings! Voice from Heaven above!  This girl could be bright orange and I wouldn't give a damn! That voice!!!

[SexyKorean615]

who cares.. all yaull are argueing over her singing here because she is not "black".. She did good.. Regardless what race she is :)

[1mised]

FK man i thought she was gunna sing for Obama -.-...

[SuperNikkiv]

last i checked the dominican repulblic is not in Africa. just to throw that out there.

[cordofthree777]

I'm Puerto Rican and I have a soulful R&B voice too, does that mean black people are gonna claim me? LOL what a ridiiculous argument on both sides. And she is Dominican I dont think she is confused about what race she belongs to.

[Brooklyn082285]

yea whatever, you would say you have a "soulful R&B" Voice.... shut the hell up!!!!

[MrsQtPie2U]

black people not always trying to claim somebody,

its just when people don't what race they belong to

they prefer us, cause we have flavor

how bout you? don't hate the race hate the game :)

but this video is wonderful

[peaches899]

R u serious??? Didn't they know better than to place that piano there...what the heck?! She killed it though...no doubt.

[COCKY011]

YOU KILLED IT kARINA ...

[manidinw7]

Shez amazin

[wize1]

why is the piana faced to the wall? they could have turned it around so the audience doesnt have to stare at her back... thats pretty strange.

[thefirstashley]

I AGREE!

[celestinekimmy]

[myzippy2]

[celestinekimmy]

[aboutthatwebshow]

[Cattitta00]

I dont like Bush in this, i think u shoul cut it!! please pleeease

[funster15]

I think Karina And Tiffany Evans have a very similar flow. BUT!, she still better to me in my opinion.. Karina is a god given gift. HANDS DOWN.

[Cattitta00]

She has an angel voice, amazing. I have to see this again, lol

[Instrumthempus]

karina Black Proud!

[karina653]

[EricaFierce]

black people always tryin to claim somebody

[ihateskool08]

and she have an african american background

[EricaFierce]

Really?? i am black u idiot, thats how i know we always claiming people, anybody with a little black in them they always have to be considered black...u should know that!

[xoxoGiggl3zxoxo]

she needa sing 4 president Obama!!

lOlz!

[vampirafanta]

diablooo, shawdeee got ohhdeee talentt!

[Sanesian07]

she sounds so beautiful and elegant...if only she faced her piano sidewards like Alicia Keys usually would on live performances. Go Karina awesome performance and in front of George W Bush..come on thats awesome!!!

[Janemas]

Beautiful! The set up person should be fired. Who sings with their back to the audience. Karina is better than bouncing Beyonce! She can play piano and sing. Let's hope she doen't wear skimpy clothes like Beyonce.

[bdayluva]

Janemas, don't compare her to Beyonce!!! DOn't compare her at all to anyone!!! I hate that mess.

[benaiah85]

that's wat I was thinking. There would be no diversity in the industry if there was no Beyonce, Alicia Keys, or Karina Pasian...why compare when you can just appreciate. It's possible to praise someone without putting someone else down. And it says a lot for Beyonce that she is the first one that everyone compares people to....lol. ANYWAYS, Karina Pasian is great, and I wish her a very long and successful career. I love her music.

[224dominican224]

DOMINICAN FOR LIFE!!!!! GO GIRL!

[1Charmed]

beautiful

[despinal23]

I'm from Dominican Republic....GET IT GRL!!!!!

[aquariuscutie15]

KARINA is amazing!!

[KamariaGreene]

whats the name of the song she was singing?

[DaNcEiSzLoVe22]

She's singing "Misty" by Donny Hathaway.

[KamariaGreene]

thanks..dont you think she kind of sounds like beyonce at the beginning

[vanoob]

Karina is amazing

[chungai2001]

Gosh Karina you sounded like Beyonce, only you weren't forcing anything. Just natural. Beyonce must have influenced you or it's pure coincidence. You're a vision of blessedness.

[luvde21]

OMDZZ she does soind like b STILL

[despinal23]

I don't think she sounds like Beyonce', not even close, Karina might have been influenced but her voice is very much more elegant, and she doesn't shot her words. Unlike beyonce...

[chungai2001]

There's no need to talk down George Bush, atleast he had the patience and decency of introducing the talented young lady. I'm not a fan of Bush but he's done a humanitarian job by introducing Karina.

[MatthewShell]

Great video! :) Karina is amazing!!

[80FrontStreet]

Karina should record an album of songs like this one.

[kcwj17]

FUCK BUSH!

KARINA GOOD JOB!

[Chander3]

Bush Is SUCH A DEVIL... I mean why the hell was he steady moving... and reading the damn paper...he could have at least remebered her LIL HISTORY!!!

[MzNaeNae09]

lol right...he always have to read from something

[habeshana]

i like everybody in this video except bush

[Chander3]

LOL

[cherry71606]

wow she's really good...and all this race talk is so stupid..people making dumb comments especially when they have no idea of what they are talking about.Dominicans are not black,white, african chinese or w/e ..We are Hispanic beacuse D.R is a spanish speaking country, yea we are mixed with african bood,than again we are also mixed with majority spanish and taino.

[brijay1415]

This girl is such an inspiration to me. I love to sing,and she makes the hardest songs seem effortless.Keep doing your thing Karina!!

[PMB827]

Everybody shut up and get to karina! goddang! But yeah, she has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. she put a tear to my eye. her voice is like a miracle.

[miusanne77]

SHE'S AWESOME!!!! Does anyone know the name of this song that she's singing?? Please post if you do :)

[law3x7]

She's singing "Misty" by Donny Hathaway.

[toysgetold12]

by donny hathaway, do you mean sarah vaughn?

[UniqMorenita]

people if you didnt know that black is a race nd dominican is a nationality..she is a morena thats what she would be called in spanish..shes a black latina but none the less she is a dominican..just how like americans come in every color so do dominicans

[jaderoyal]

Wow.. she sounds like an unedited Beyonce here. Even Beyonce's voice isn't this beautiful... at least, live. In my opinion, most talented live singer I've ever heard!

[daury2379]

this girl is amazing...OoOOh yes i guess alicia keys have a dominican competition!!!!...lol.

[noanjel]

u just made me cry

[Musiclover89]

Is that Jay-Z next to Bush?

If so he knows damn well he did not want to sit there next to him. Lmao

This is from the man himself: "Push, money over broads, you got it. F*** Bush"

Lol

I'm just saying!!

She did great = ]

OBAMA 08'

[Bebaxiosgr]

[CuTeNeSs0aShLeY]

[jahbria15]

[2007words]

[heversle]

That was beautiful.

[mizzstarr510]

[mzunnappreciated]

this girl is amazing

[mizzpompom]

George bush betta get his stankin booty ass

[syckindahead]

[MissSugahPimp]

Bush: "2:05 - 2:10"

Yeah like you care !

[Jflow724]

i kno dis girl...she's dominican!!! look it up

[joyous2130]

He was about to call her Katrina! that george bush.

Karina is so blessed. I cant wait til her album drops!

[SgtCU2]

I hate how they had her positioned!!!!! shame on them no1 wants to look at her back that long and see her sing to the wall

[DoUWantMe]

yea i noticed that too

[Jflow724]

she's definately not black...he's a homo

[Nellz1986]

she definitely is black, just african american

...u can definitely see african traits in her facial features, etc.

[MissSugahPimp]

She's dominican !

[nadimu143]

Dominican is not a race it's a nationality. There are people of ALL races that are from the Dominican Republic.

[MissSugahPimp]

whateverr.. what I said is true.

[ChelseaCiiara]

Dominican is a race... they're just like Mexicans. But they are from the Dominican Republic.

[nadimu143]

Here's an example of the point I was trying to make... Charlize Theron is African. She was literally born in South Africa. That doesn't make her black. It just makes her African. Her RACE is caucasian. African is her nationality. Where you are from is not your race.

[NaeluvzJanetJackson]

U BETTER GO HEAD! U TOLD HER/HIM!

[omqshissamber]

im DOMINICAN! im not from mexico. lol. im not

mexican. haha... were like BLACK PEOPLE.

<3amberr

[NaeluvzJanetJackson]

YEAH BASICALLY

[nadimu143]

Exaaaactly! ;-)

[breezybabie2]

dominican is not black

[AKnineteen85]

The CIA World Fact Book claims that only 11% of Dominicans are black, while 16% are white, and 73% are mixed (mostly mulatto). I initially thought she was a light brown complexioned black girl until I seen her other relatives, and read more about her. She's brilliant, and I know that all of her fans, friends, and kinfolks are proud of her. She's representing to the fullest. lol :)

[mongobaer]

i don´t get it. i really don´t care what color. But i care about george. How stupid a president can be? It´s pretty sad.

[Musiclover89]

Agreed!!

Lol @ you calling him George

Lmaoo

[nadimu143]

Yes!

[omqshissamber]

i know domiicans are NOT black. but the majority of them have mixed blood of black & hatian. because DR is right next to haiti & thats where people go BANG BANG! SKEET SKEET!. lol. just kidding but yu qet my point?

[Musiclover89]

Your'e a mess for that "bang bang skeet skeet." You had me laughing out loud. Lol

[mizzpompom]

but she sure does sound black

[nyangel015]

ShE SURE dOESZ

[Hersheyskiss010]

I love her shoes!

[tovomahefa]

you are beautiful!!!! you'll be a superstar!

[sueryun]

singing to the wall rofl

my speech teacher would give the setup a big fat F-

[pinkorangesoda]

Bush and "miss usa" stuttered like 10 times i'm just being observant but yea Karina has true talent she'll go far.

[Hersheyskiss010]

I knw right!

[mizzstizzie]

wonderful...i can firmly and proudly say..shes up there with my top favourite artists.. i admire her journey...very soulful and taltened.

[sHaBz56]

why was the piano positioned to give the audience her back

[IronMicey911]

because of the type of piano that she was playing on. If the piano had faced the audience, you wouldn't be able to see her at all. They should have provided a baby grand piano for her. That way you would have been sure to see her face while she singing. Over all, it was a great performance. She played for the president. Not many people can say that.

[mokomorris]

good song choice....this really brings out her voice....shes awesome...

[stacieo]

wow miss usa cant read... shes an awesome singer

[jhensi]

oh please, it's just proves that it wasn't rehearsed she probably was reading all of that for the first time.

[mugeniscute]

[brooklynlvr409]

[imfunsize]

aw shes so good!

[dnb200]

such a lovely voice! :)

[Longleggs027]

That was great

[boykirk]

At the end of this video, did you get up and say a speech or sing another song!?! If so, let's hear it!!!! :)

[boykirk]

"Peace, unity and compassion" - I think you definitely conquered that provocative message through to George Bush and everyone else in that room, through your amazing singing and piano playing.

I must say, Mr. Bush and Miss USA gave you a great introduction. You definitely delivered ! I wonder why you didn't go up to George on your way to the piano and shake his hand, you were probably as I would've been very nervous even being there. He was tentatively watching your back.

[bryansluvzjazzfosho]

woww . thats amazing [;

[Kaqsing18]

amazing

[tracie03]

you play the piano like a pro...
