Amazing Grace (Live @ Carols by Candlelight 24/12/2008)

[MsForwardthinker]

Actually I thought the backing singers were fabulous. Vanessa is good too, if a bit over embellished (just my view)

[phatzky]

I reckon she should do a cover for "I believe I can fly" by Yolanda Adams. She will bring a whole lot of goosebumps if she ever performs that song!

[atje43]

GREAT GREAT GREAT :)

[homebuddha]

Have you ever heard a voice so transcending; hypnotic & haunting. Australia's Number 1 Diva with vocals only God could grant... Bless You Nessa xxx You are LOVED gurl!

[357HFC]

Blessed with a fantastic voice. We are blessed because she presents her voice and herself so well.

[taylious01]

did is so so good i love did amazing grace

[NZsouljagirl]

Holy SHIT! Haven't listened to her in a few years, but man she can blow...amazing stuff Vanessa!!!!

[nickyaguilera]

DEFINITELY MILES AWAY BETTER THAN WHITNEY HOUSTON!!!.Vanessa i love ya!!.

[357HFC]

@nickyaguilera Whats a Whitney Houston?

[357HFC]

That was AWESOME! Really shows this lady's range.

[mkday22]

She didn't need back up, her voice alone was perfect for this song...

[thegumbootsgirl]

I remember seeing this on TV and saying to my boyf, 'look at this tiny aussie woman, she's going to sing us a nice Christmas carol' And then she started singing :O

I had nothing to say my mouth was like

:O

:|

:O

What an amazing voice!

[mosless1]

I agree - She should be musc, much bigger throughout the world than current. We are trying, in the UK, to get her heard on tV and Radio by constantly e-mailing DJ's and other presenters. She has the most unique and stunnig voice in the worl!

[Forwardthinker22]

Just my viewpoint, but i think that Anthony Callea and the three Choir members from this year's carols by candlelight showed us how this song should be sung; plain and simple with beautiful harmonies.

[hungryhoova]

i think the back up singers ruined this, vanessa was awesome, but that guy on the end right tapping his hand pissed me off lol

[pogah1985]

i love her best voice eva!!

[Forwardthinker22]

Not sure about this. Too much weaving around the note and the backing confused it. This is such a powerful song. I think only really powerful voices should sing it with restraint and rich resonance. (Just a viewpoint - Vanessa is still a good singer - just didn't think this suited her.

[talunol]

I think she's fabulous, Australia's best female pop-singer, but I don't like this style either. I suppose it's technically clever. It's been awesome to see her success with her own releases. I like them much more.

[Forwardthinker22]

Taunol,

Thanks for your comment. I agree with what you've said. I think she is a good singer in general - it's just this song.

I notice a couple of people haven't liked my comment.

I do stand by it though and suggest that from 2.00 min on it does weave and, dare I say, 'shriek' somewhat, and to do that to such a sweet, powerful song - I just can't enjoy that... again only my view....

[kaylatrailor]

3 University students: Doing a Voice degree:

Please stop!!!

[phatzky]

Stop what??

[mikefmale]

@kaylatrailor A voice degree? What the hell is that? If you're that desperate for toilet paper, try the supermarket.

[phatzky]

Now THATS TALENT!!

[rawckas]

she is the best artitist in Australia. A normal person with a real voice no gimmics just her.

[littleladyfangz]

@rawckas I love that she has an interesting, unique voice which is deeper and more intense than most Australian "pop" singers.

[loquisimonueve]

Hallelujah! Yes God! You better sing Nessa!

[christianbarber]

she is fantastic but whas\ts with the tapping back up monkey , he's got a twitch , i which he'd knock himself out !

[jessxo101]

i was there. shes amazing. x

[sydneyfrisby]

she could outsing any diva... she just doesnt sell as much coz she's not a tart like most of them.... I saw vanessa live a few months back and she blew everyone away!

[phatzky]

Hehe... a diva to all divas...

[aeulpohutcn]

What a great performance shows her ability to sing without any music

[lauzza29]

he's not even tapping in time lol

[lauzza29]

that was awesome!

[jesspy]

does anyone have the video of the two gentlemen doing a version of a little drummer boy that was great. i think one of the guys was from the rocky horror show in melbourne

[muzicanoz]

I may have it - will check and put it up on my channel if I do.

[NikoJaquez]

She needs waaaaay more recognition here in the states then what she gets because she is up there with the amazing female singers like Mariah, Celine, and Whitney, hell i think she' sprobably even better then most of them lol. LOVE HER!

[phoenixrisen1970]

@NikoJaquez So spread the word friend. Vanessa deserves it. Gives you goosebumps without having to flash the flesh either

[mosless1]

[kelinhaga]

very nice i loved,is beutiful

[musicvsrasputin]

That was beautiful.

She should release this... without the twat tapping his leg.

[melbgurlau]

Yeah, hows the dick in the background taping his leg..What a twit! Another breath taking proformance by Vanessa, next time minus the dick who cant keep his timing in his head!!!

[demi024]

it sounded nice that she had no music

[Kittyrins]

it's called an A Capella performance.

[pianodano]

Very nice!

[seventysangel]

i watched this show and u were so awesome such an amazing singer keep doing ya do best :D you give everyone such grace with ur voice ROCK ON!!

[ChainMedia]

Vanessa's voice is amazing! The only thing that spoilt her performance was the backup singer who was taping on his leg for timing. The microphones picked it up and it stands out which is such a dissapointment.

Otherwise, such a beautiful song.

[nikkit00]

get rid of the back up singers!!!

[werdnanotroh]

this is what singing is!

[tubester4567]

she should go on aussie idol.

[ConfusedLostSouls]

=P She's already past that stage ahhahaha Aussie Idol is for unknowns really..their chance to make a break. She's already up there ^.^

[Breniznit]

@tubester4567 Australian Idol? Are you joking? There has never been and never will be an idol contestant with Vanessa's skills. Vanessa has 3.2 octaves in chest alone : /

[christianbarber]

I simply loved this performance , , i wish they would release this as a single

[pezzomahjark]

she has an amazing voice, beautiful

[saveandembrace]

awesome

[mattclayman1]

Aussie's best right there..no one can touch her..

[0Valbella0]

Amazing. Best performance of the night!
