Dont get me wrong I love your voice and all your songs.....but whenever I here this song I cant help but think of the Eric Cartman version. (no i am not comparing you to cartman in anyway, its just the song :p )
@amixia Wow! Quick response! I simply meant compared to the awesome hot and cold, it was less radically different. Have you ever considered doing any collabs? Please do have a listen to Guitar Man by Cake.
@HenryTheGuitarist I just happened to notice I had comments. I tried to do a collaboration with another user a long while back. Did my half of the recording and never heard back from him. So I probably won't be doing that again.
If you watch her other videos, you're beginning to wonder why she's having a different hairstyle every time.. but then again, who wants to be recognized as a You Tube-celebrity?
just keep doing what you are doing,i'm so entertained ! hope for success for you ! if you can cover some eighties,or maybe a 3 days grace like never to late wow that would be awesome
When I heard Still Alive, I thought no cover could be better. I was wrong :) I still think Lady Gaga is best, but your cover is the best of all the covers :)
Alright, I gotta say it(Along with probably 200+ of your viewers). It'd be awesome if you did this again with the lyrics from YGO:TAS's 'Brooklyn Rage'.
This is awesome! I on a whole dislike Lady Gaga; but you have indeed salvaged this song from my dislike! I still don't like the original, but this is incredible! Also, being my first comment I must say, you are SO AWESOME! <3 please keep up the awesome work!
Seeing the electric in the background, I'm wondering if you'll ever use that for a video instead of the acoustic.
Also, surprisingly, I think this is the first of your videos where I prefer the original. There's something about Lady Gaga's voice that makes it the only one really suited for her songs. I'd chalk it up to the digital enhancements done, while the other covers you've done have been better than their original counterparts because of the stronger feelings behind them.
So after watching Poker Face the first time yesterday(Thanks to Littlekuriboh's parody called 'Brooklyn Rage'), You can imagine my mild surprise to see you did a cover again.
And Again, you don't disappoint. Your Mic disappoints for being unable to capture your voice without scratching it up on your higher notes or if it got to loud. Can't ever catch a break, huh.
Well, Awesome performance, the ad-lib was nice, yes. I prefer this to Lady Gaga's, mainly because you don't sound like a robot.
Okay... Now that you've had some practice finger-picking, any chance of a re-do of your outstanding "Still Alive" performance?
2nd: Saw the Serenity poster on your wall... any chance of a "Firefly" theme song in the future? Use your talent to extend it into a full length song? You could do it.
3rd: Will we see/hear the electric guitar in use? (Yes, yes, yes... your voice is the REAL star, but still, you asked for questions).
I've noticed you seem to like anime and of course video games, do you ever go to any conventions? Love your version of the song!!! Keep up the great work i love all your covers <33333 ^_^
Nice voice, love all your vids. Hated the original and you better in by ten fold. Just wanted to express my great appreciation for the entertainment you provide and to compliment you on your talent.
ramza... fine. >:( But we will make no eye contact and will never address each other directly.
I do have a serious question: What are the chances of you (amixia) getting a good mic and selling a CD of covers? In a number of cases, I prefer your version to the original. Case in point: this one. Not only that, you'd easily make the money back on a decent mic by charging $5/CD + shipping (and that's lowballing the price.)
Because distributing a CD of covers for a price requires me to pay royalties which I cannot afford. The music isn't mine so making money off someone else's material violates copyrights, which is why I also can't put ads on my videos for revenue.
Question: Why don't you live close enough for me to find where you live and gaze longingly into your windows? You know, stalking, but not calling it that (because calling it stalking sounds creepy.)
Ah, I don't agree to requests because I'm a lazy ass and rarely follow through on them. I do know how to play Sweet Caroline but it's out of my range. If I ever get bored I can try changing the key but I won't promise that I'll record a video for it because, as I said earlier, I'm a lazy ass.
I, for one, could not tell you were ad-libbing the ending there, and thought it sounded good.
Great video, great performance, but the levels were a bit high and we got some peaking there; hopefully you'll get some better gear so the level of your videos isn't limited by the level of your equipment anymore.
This is a great cover. I like it better than the original, which I hope will win a crapload of Grammys. Oh, and you should do some Garbage or Nirvana. That would kick serious ass. And I love the hair, btw!
There's a program by DVDVideoSoft that makes a YouTube to mp3 converter. I've been meaning to make rips myself but I haven't really had time. Proper recordings would require me to have a mic that wasn't terrible and I've yet to find one that doesn't give me hissing noises in the background.
If my wife died tragically in a car accident would you consider dating a recently widowed man... WTH! My wife is home, was certain that would work.
Keep the ramblings. It is part of your charm in that you are exactly what you seem to be: Honest, charming, quirky, and incredibly sexy/cute. At least that is my perception.
It says "no one wants your free hug -- nothing personal." I'm on the floor because it was the only way to position myself far enough away from my laptop that I wouldn't blow out my microphone belting the song. My laptop is sitting on my chair so I chose the floor. It also let me show off my wall of nerdliness.
Sounds fantastic. :D But, nothing wrong with a bit of rambling... right? lol
for the questions, hmm... 1) Did singing come naturally to you, where it just clicked into place? Or did you have to work at it. I suppose the same can be asked about the guitar. Did that just come naturally to you? 2) Why can't they make girls like you around these parts? haha!
3) You have things I'd like to steal... Is that allowed? :)
Dont get me wrong I love your voice and all your songs.....but whenever I here this song I cant help but think of the Eric Cartman version. (no i am not comparing you to cartman in anyway, its just the song :p )
