[HannarLS]

[Mskatebug92]

Absolute chills!

[CevanDeadly51N5]

..... how in the world did you get your hair so pretty (yellow shirt)

[bookloveralltheway]

Whoa, just...whoa you're fuggin amazing,

42 people are jerks and idiots and insolents who will never understand truw beauty!

KEEP ROCKING BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[apathyisbetter]

Oh, my. The beauty of this. I'm trying not to cry. And I'm shivering. I truly hope you don't stop until you're bored.

[Ahnkitomi]

The original had its place - mainly, in my opinion, to give us this - but something about the delicacy of the piano work and the smooth, poignant power of your voice gives this soul and passion that the first just didn't possess. Your voice is incredible and your editing is beautifully done (the editing in the Hercules cover made me laugh more than once.) Thank you for sharing with us!

[misloful]

your birthday is the 17th?

[Luthur17]

Welcome to new direction

[HannarLS]

MAKE-UP TUTORIAL PLEEEASE!

[HannarLS]

i could stop staring at your glittery eyes :)

[kadeecramer]

This is my favorite cover you've ever done.. and I didn't even like the song before I heard you sing it.

[LadyCdeU]

This one was pretty out of tune, and I didn't like the version either, still it is amazing that you're just 17, and I have to say that I really liked the one with the Disney songs

[mindtwindompeople]

Amazing. I saw your disney video, and I love your videos. I await the day you become famous!!

[ibringmayflowers]

hey how do u do the different screens what software is it my movie maker doesnt have it?

[selenagomezlovergurl]

LOVE THE GLITTER!!!!

[TheBrockster123]

Your great but try to get higher and hold your voice

[Wyrenyth]

I don't even want to sully you with the silliness that American Idol has become, Heather. You are absolutely amazing, girl. You have your whole life ahead of you, I'm keeping my fingers crossed you get discovered and launched sky high. I only have one request. I love all of your covers - especially the Disney stuff - but I would absolutely love to see you do some original stuff. Keep up the fabulous work!

[ChaydXIV]

marry me ? please ?

[TheRealMethuselah]

Saw your Disney "one woman A Capella" and have watched all of your videos afterwards... you are talented, beautiful, an amazing singer and I hope that you're signed to a major record label, because I would definitely buy your albums. Don't ever stop singing, you're Phenomenal. "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." - III John 2

[JoLuffiroSauce]

waiting for the day you get famous girl~!!! Keep going at it~

[skblarge]

[rittgirl23]

[YeahCarlPrductions]

American Idol? yes...

[victorianinsanity]

@YeahCarlPrductions

Only reason I'd say no to that is cause she sounds to much like that one girl X3 But she is so amazing she could make it without any help from a tv show. :D

[WHATTHEBUCKSHOW]

Love it 

[funkyspunky871]

@WHATTHEBUCKSHOW Thank you for liking this! I never would have seen this if it weren't for you. :)

[iFletcherful]

[MusicLuva0051]

JUST LOOKING AT THE DETAILS AND YOUR VOCAL CONTROL.

ITS JUST AMAZING.

reminds me of adele (Y)

good work, you gone be great.

i never comment on videos, but i did this time.

cuz i think its worth it

[Tengakino]

So So Beautiful

[camoxxlove21]

by the way, how do you record these videos? as in what camera? :)

[camoxxlove21]

i adore the huskyness and naturalness of your voice <3

[camoxxlove21]

you are my inspiration, no joke, you show me that anyone can sing and you do not need to be something fake or autotuned or somebody youre TRYING to be for everyone else. thank you so much <3

your biggest fan, alexis~

p.s. im a singer too, only 14 though (: if you have any advice at all for me, id gladly take it all! how do you figure out all the beautiful background harmonies? and i learn piano by ear (self-taught), what about you? thanks! <3

[peaceloveurban13]

You. Are. Amazing. <3

[bethywho1]

loved it... your voice is so natural!!! dont listen to the haters!! :D

[TEZZARR]

That awkward moment when you get the lyrics wrong...

[cottencandy56245]

Your amazing



[12Randomizer]

I love how you put your own little twist on the song, you are amazingly talented!!

[iTalkToMyselfx]

Omg i love your eye make-up you should do a tutorial on how you did it

[WHATTHEBUCKSHOW]

OBSESSED WITH YOU!

[dalerat]

whoa whistle tone! :O

[DirtyDan0007]

Autotune

[heathertraska]

@DirtyDan0007 I get asked the question if I use auto-tune all the time. To set the record straight, I set my garageband settings to "female basic" and set "enhanced tuning" to zero. So, no, I don't use auto-tune. You're welcome.

[queenofmusic17]

@heathertraska love ur voice! so deep and strong! continue doing what you do! :D

[queenofmusic17]

@DirtyDan0007 its not autotune! its ''hearable'' (is it a word?) that she doesnt use autotune! btw your just jealous of her wonderful voice!

[paulavagina]

better than the original..

you put so much emotions in your voice

love it :*

[katieaya]

GREAT!!:)

[mikapet789]

if i were to vote which part u'd look nicer........i'd say 3:25 :D

[juheehwang]

U have a lucky talent. I'm im good at is drawing. :(

[ThisIsMyUsernameME]

SHE IS SOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!& this is my faveorite out of all the songs she has done :D

[dan1rv1]

this is my favourite one she's made:) i love it! it shows how many potential stars are out there that haven't got discovered.

[Puppyloveeydovey]

WHO DISLIKED THIS ARE YOU 25 PEOPLE CRAZY?!

[Karotinablumela]

[TheBiebzLUVR]

[TheBiebzLUVR]

i love ur voice AND ur makeup :P

[peaceloveandmaggie]

[xmUsIcMaDx141]

OMG!! Wow you have an amazing voice :) keep up the good work x

[PrincessXxJessica]

... just

wow :) <3

[theshmoofiles]

she is so beautiful

[ultalovee]

Will you please cover cosmic love by florence and the machines? That would be amazing! 

[yeahtoast22]

Her voice sucks and that's not her playing the piano. JMO!

[roxybabe96]

Where did you get your eyeshadow?!

[heathertraska]

@roxybabe96 . . .So, funny story: My eye glitter is just regular glitter from an arts and crafts store. Lol

[MissTiffyLove]

@heathertraska You shouldn't wear craft glitter on your eyes. It could scratch your eye. Use cosmetic glitter.

[SoSophisticate]

@heathertraska I like the glitter but It's kinda dangerous to use regular glitter because it is made of a material that, were it to get in your eye, could seriously damage it. I would recommend using make-up grade glitter, plenty of make-up stores sell it. Also, you have an incredible, beautiful, amazing voice!

[90showtime]

Gosh girl you have talent & creativity! Im an official fan!

[lemiho19]

My favorite song of yours by far!

[lemiho19]

Hey it's Lee! You're doing great sista! My favorite video of yours by far!

[Padme4u]

I used to hate this song, but now you sing it, the song gets meaning, and i love it <3

[RyanSuperKid]

OMG. Love this cover <3

[Barbiexshamous]

Beautiful is what you are.

You're voice,is amazing more than amazing,it's perfect.Can't even describe your voice.I love you :)

[AshleyxScreamx]

I've heard better...way better.

Good voice, but just not quite right for this song.

[helencitaecc]

you suck plese do not cover more songs NEVER i didn't like it

[manorl]

youre voice has so much passion and emotion. amazing. 

[helencitaecc]

she hasn't got passion or talent covering other songs

so please heather do your own songs or do not sing

[Simlife3]

Just saw the upload date - 17 january 2011 MY BDAY *A*

[Simlife3]

U touched me.. x

[singtoyourmax]

That note you hit at 3:20 was surreal! You are incredibly talented!

[iAMtheeJonathan]

This is by far the best cover I've heard of "Firework." Do you think you could sing "Hang With Me" by Robyn? I think you'd do a great job on any song. :)

[AnthonyiTheAznGuy]

Happy very late birthday! :)

[Jenandnaomi]

Wow. Just wow.

[mistermusemaster]

Wow. Beautiful. Not to mention, fabulous look too! LOVE IT.

[topsycharlie1234]
