[victoriousgymnast10]

@vmxten that's rude she actulla

[wickedchicago]

Thank you so much for this! I have to use this piece as an audition for a chamber choir, and (seeing as sight reading is not my forte) this video is helping me immensely :)

[sessenkcis]

your voice is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

[TheCommonStrangerr]

You have such a nice range and a beautiful voice! I really wish I had sent in videos and been a part of the virtual choir. These pieces are so incredible...

[WitchCraft129]

You're both soprano I and Alto II? Amazing :D

[airassisted]

wow what a BEAUTY!

[GroupAnubis8466]

your voice is incredible

[nrvdoc]

Very nice Melody, you have excellent control over your phrasing and breathing. Keep it up!

[HinataxXxsk8r]

Thanks so much for doing this. Our high school choir is doing this piece For state and this video is so helpful for my part which I realize we've been quite pitchy on. Keep doing what you're good at. :)

[werepeteque]

Gorgeous, you and your voice. Beautiful. Love the way you smile between words. Marry me and then sing at our wedding.

[newtonHorus]

Yesterday I heard about the Virtual choir and after hearing you singing. I am sure that angels are here on Earth. Congratulations for your beautiful and sweet voice. Also, I want to tell you that you shows that you loved to sing this beautiful song, because you are smiling. Please, do not stop smiling =)

[TiffanyMcKayleigh]

How can or do you audition for EWVC?

[vmxten]

that was really annoying..

but you look pretty!

[00Laden]

"Your smile softens my heart."

I second this one :)

[Jdonovanford]

You couldn't have more make up on, dear...

[adreniline]

@Jdonovanford Someone is jealous that they didn't get into the virtual choir.

[poweranger003]

You have an amazing voice! I'm doing this song for UIL this year and I watch your video to get pointers (: Thank you for posting. You're a wonderful singer!

[sophiafied]

You have a beautiful beautiful voice.

[KathrynLouise44]

Thanks for posting :) I have district choir and this was great for me to hear my part :) You have a beautiful voice !

[MrUsername5678888]

Did you hop in a time machine and fly back to the 80's to get your hair done?

[SugarbabyLA]

@MrUsername5678888 Hahahaha!!! No, sadly not. :) That would've been cool though, because I think I would've fit right in. That comment made my day a little bit, thank you. :D

[MrUsername5678888]

@SugarbabyLA <3

[Aaliyahinwonderland]

@MrUsername5678888 It's better than being bald...douche bag

[fimbles101]

Oops.. im a dumb ass...

[SugarbabyLA]

@fimbles101 This was done a year ago.. THIS NEXT virtual choir of "Sleep" you DO wear black clothing. Lux Aurmque you DID NOT have to wear black clothing. Gosh learn what's right and what isn't before commenting rudely, thanks.

[OldSlimey]

@fimbles101 You're a dumb ass, dumb ass.

[MeeAndChicken]

sorry but you are beautiful... just had to throw that one in there.

[cosmicdingo]

You look like you sound , heh. COMPLIMENT.

[JescaLovey]

I sing this part in my high school choir and listening to you has helped me to learn things that my teacher doesn't help with.

You have a beautiful voice! :)

[Alalalalala11]

Your smile is very beautiful

[SonicChaoExpert]

your voice is amazing and your very pretty

[awesomesauce9001]

my speakers dont do justice

[michigan9898]

lol, my band teacher showed us a virtual choir video and i saw you on it!

good job though :D

[edude2569]

You're Gorgeous! 

[MegaDaeman]

Hahaha, this is so funny

[Godschild1408]

Melody by name melody by nature! your voice sounds angelic and you look like one too!! beautuful

[Godschild1408]

@Godschild1408

you have a voice thats pure Melody, i' m not joking. i wish i could sing, but my voice sounds like a tom cat being neutered without anaethetic! i dont think Eric would choose me!

[vapourmile]

I say so because you're trace of fear of connecting with others strongly in case you hurt them takes some of the energy and affect from your voice.

Instead of binding yourself from doing harm, liberate yourself to do what's truly beautiful. I think you can.

[vapourmile]

Very nice: Your own ethic tends to bind you away from arrogance and causing offence. This is ok: You don't want to create or do something unpleasant. But putting these reigns on yourself de-affects your voice. If you substitute these harmless but slightly negative self-admonishments for positives, rather than "I won't be coarse and spiky", instead "I create beautiful positive experiences and I am happy to connect with others to make them feel this"...

[KAZJAZMAZ]

seen eric on B.B.C yesterday and saw you in the video and apart from your amazing smile you have a great voice too. good luck with your career

[msbecky630]

I love that your hair is glowing while you sing about light and gold. It's beautiful.

[SugarbabyLA]

@msbecky630 Haha! I've never heard someone say that before, that put a huge smile on my face :D Thank you so much.

[jessicayjose010]

hi this really has helped me because we had to learn it for choir with a little trumpet lol... thanks for the help you sound amazing

[SugarbabyLA]

@jessicayjose010 You're very welcome! I'm glad to have helped :)

[Oboekid76]

You are a great singer, and I KNOW for sure one day youll be famous! You remind me of tons of successful artists! I am a fan! <3

[SugarbabyLA]

@Oboekid76 Aw! Wow thank you!! I wish I knew what else to say.. haha <3

[Godschild1408]

@SugarbabyLA

you have the voice of an angel, are you one by any chance!

are you a proffesional singer? if not why not?

[SugarbabyLA]

@Godschild1408 Thank you so much! And.. well no, I wish I was though, that would be a dream come true. Just haven't been discovered or recognized yet lol.

[ajuicejemas]

I sang this song with my high school chamber choir (the Princeton High School Chamber Choir), and I just want to tell you that sound amazing. You could have carried the entire alto II section by yourself with your amazing breath control and better voice. I'm a baritone, so putting my part into your singing was a lot of fun.

I hope that you use your wonderful voice far into the future!

[Lyssender]

U're Great

[conor1148]

i know this is a strange compliment, but you have awesome teeth!

[hotstuff70523]

[HandwhistlerBen]

Your voice is extraordinary. Added to the others it is heavenly!

[merrett]

[dakotaFAT]

you are very pretty

[BNemiroff]

Thank you, Melody! You sound and look beautiful! I don't know if the scholarship has been awarded yet. Good luck, if it hasn't.

If you are counting, I sure can't tell; are you listening to the other parts in the headphones?

"My" choir, Angel City Chorale, in Los Angeles, is performing this in a couple of weeks, and it's nice to be able to practice "along" with someone who sings the same part as me!

Barbara

[sugarbunny24]

How did u get apart of this?

[Cryptlord91]

"Ratings have been disabled for this video" haha...

[Shaunderbetrug]

I live up here in Seattle, and I love how when this project aired on the local news channel, you were the one that was prominently featured, hehehe. Anyway, I love the sound of your voice even through one of these microphones. If you ever make your way up north, I think we should sing together, haha. Very wonderful, and it your other video fits perfectly with the whole thing as well. I hope you're pursuing music as a career. I myself am a student up here learning to be an Opera Singer. Ciao

[marioplunder12]

i saw you on student news!!!!! your amazing

[jake5253kj9]

@marioplunder12 Same here lol ; )

[sellportal]

Hi there Melody,

I've spent quite a while watching your videos and I love you, your personality and the way you sing. There's no way you can go wrong in the future with your love and passion for music! You know, watching you in the video with your blond hair and backlit, you get an almost angelic vibe! I'll keep checking in on you to see how things are going and I'm hoping you'll be creating new videos often :-)

[dthizhere]

I love music and its universal...so when i heard about this ont he radio i had to figure out what it was. You have a beautiful voice and i really hope to hear more from you and everyone else that sang =)

[cassybeth]

omg you have inspired me to do better in choir !!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much and btw beautiful voice

[luvgirlsfeet]

[dlcurtis69]

[switchbackswitch]

Heaven On Earth...Behold an Angel... ; ^ )

[sugardust6]

You're gorgeous! Pretty voice. You have a prominent part in the video too, kudos!

[diabeticCHIC]

You're gorgeous, saw you on CNN this morning! :)

[chickayah27]

@diabeticCHIC omg no way, i seen her on the student news this morning too(:

[Peppi94]

When I saw a clip of the virtual choir on the CTV news last night, it prompted me to seek out the choir on YouTube. You guys are awesome. I broke out in goosebumps. It's especially great to be able to watch the individual auditions. You are fabulous!

[GregoriousGregori9]

It's amazing to see how the individual can indeed shape the world by the strength & power of music

Thank you for your voice & sharing that gift

[joekickass877]

first off may I say that you sound so amazing !! second, and I have to ask you and I hope you don't get offended .. umm what exactly are you saying ?? any chance of a mini-translation ??

[SugarbabyLA]

@joekickass877 Hey! Sorry for the late reply.. for some reason I never saw your comment until now, sometimes not all of them go through, it's weird. Anyways, Lux Aurumque means "Light and Gold". It gives off a very pure, and warm feeling. That's how I feel when I sing it also. Kind of angelic in a sense. Hope that helps :) and sorry again for replying so late.

[jthameschoir]

@SugarbabyLA You sound Angelic. I love the way you sing this. There's so much feeling put into it by you. I really can tell you love this.

[joekickass877]

@SugarbabyLA VERY ANGELIC =) and no worries, I understand ..thank you for replying

[paulfromdonmills]

The voice of an Angel and the smile of a Goddess..

[TheStickers13]

@paulfromdonmills I was thinking the same thing. Her voice does look like a goddess. Like from 'Hurcules'.

[battlebauble]

Heaven is missing an angel! :)

[nogin8000]

U're very beautiful......

[sharpezor]

congrats on getting your pic on TED

[chiwiitube]

Love a girl who can sing :)

[emoClarinetist]

beautiful!

[ParisSetMeFreeParis]

Hi Melody, just came on this by chance and really love it - well done and fantastic and more!!! Just love what you put into this, both your professionalism and your naturalness - really-love it!

[martynatwordspace]

This is wonderful -- the whole exercise is wonderful, and I wish I had found it earlier.

What the individual contributions illustrate is the way that a piece of music is often comprised of repetitive and dissonant phrases that only attain their real beauty when mingled in the context of the piece as a whole. Listen to the first few bars of SugarbabyLA's contribution). A good example is the cello ground in Dido's Lament, a repeating series of 9(?) notes upon which the whole piece is founded.

[fconate]

your beauty radiates from the inside out, thanks for sharing !!

[Lesega]

She is really beautiful! :)

[xSebas6089x]

fantastic!

[JellyFlakexD]

You kinda look like Christina Aguilera

[SugarbabyLA]

@JellyFlakexD Haha, thank you? I don't know if that's a good thing or bad lol

[maciekcharger]

love Your voice :) beautiful !!!

[MegaFlower5]

Great job on the soprano solo, you make it so light and seem to effortless. You are very pretty to match your voice!

[Beltravi]

I loved the completed version, you were stellar.

[magnolia9042]

Your solo was fantastic! Congratulations!

[eolake]

Your smile softens my heart.

[lobst0r23]

To be honest i never really thought much of choir's but i changed my opinion when i saw the virtual Choir and especially you caught my attention! It was an amazing piece, keep doing this and you might get far, who knows what the future will bring!

[SugarbabyLA]

@lobst0r23 Thank you so much! I'm glad I changed your mind about choirs hahaha :) That makes me happy. And yes I have no problem with keeping this up! :D I hope I get far too, thank you so much again! :)

[chaguirre1]

@lobst0r23 i agree with you. i have played this piece before with the texas all state band and it was gorgeous but after hearing the virtual choir, wel you made the band suck!!! the virtual choir was just amazing!!! i wish i could sing pretty as you!!

Melody

[SugarbabyLA]

@xXBuzzliveXx Thank you very much! :) :)

[avidhpfan]

I just wanted to let you know that this video is helping me so much. We are singing this in my high school chamber choir, and I had to be gone last semester for medical reasons. I am just now learning the song a few weeks before districts, and this has been really helpful in learning my part.

[SugarbabyLA]

Awh, thanks haha I'm really glad that this helped you :) Hope everything goes well!

[777singer777]

you're pretty ......

 great job!!!!

[SugarbabyLA]

@777singer777 Thank you! :D Aw!

[Lovestar120]
