  • @Jallthat yes she did...

  • U look like adel!! Wow ur amazing

  • Goodluck, I'm sure if you practice hard enough you will be fine.

  • I'm singing this song in general music in 7th grade, I picked this song than the other song which was don't stop believing, I'm singing this with one other girl in front of my whole class with no lyrics, I'm nervous, hopefully I'll remember the lyrics.

  • Pretty voice but she didn't get the words right which is not good

  • so nice :-) greetings from czech republic

  • Wow. She has a spectacular voice. Her stage presence is great, and she acts out the song extremely well.

  • oh this song makes me cry.

  • very good :)

  • *beats a dead horse*

    Diction, diction, diction

    with a microphone, I should've heard knowN, frienD, nighT, beD, heaD, etc. And some T's are too pointy compared to the softer constanants that should've been enunciated.

  • a very talented young girl :)

  • Who won? x

  • Two other girls. I don't remember exactly. She came in third place.

  • Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful combination :D

  • she is great and you can see in her eyes that she is really passionate about singing!

    

  • She's great but there's some parts she did that i didnt like. but i love her voice :)

  • wow shes only 15? great voice

  • Amazing!

  • she should have one

  • you must be sooo proud of her! She has a nice voice, good luck!

  • a little flat, but otherwise it was fantastic!

  • BRAVOO BRAVOO! One of my favourite songs, (from one of my favourite musicals) which I thought was sung very beautifully by this girl indeed!

    Well done! Brilliant! :-)

  • She's very good...

  • very nice voice!

  • Wow this was really well done! She is a great singer! :)

  • That's really good for 15 years old, though!!

  • Beautiful and talented girl; don't agree with the straining for notes but would agree with chocolatelover about being slightly rushed. Wonderful performance.

  • really good

  • Beautiful, search 'luke emily on my own' to see a young boy sing this - lovely

  • kawillmcc, Kristen has a great command of the song and the stage, good voice, good ear, excellent stage presence. She was awarded third place you say? Who did she compete against and how talented were they? Which song did they perform? With talent contests there is the element of personal preference and tastes of the judges or audience. An audience of Sting devotees might not appreciate Nessun Dorma sung by Mario Lanza or Placido Domingo, or On My Own by Lea Salonga, choosing a lesser talent.

  • nice DSL...not a bad song either

  • wow she truly has the wonderful voice of a beautiful angel

  • nice

  • wow, she has a beautiful voice :)

  • wow she's amazingly talented!!! (but is it just me or is she always just slightly ahead of the instrumental) not saying i could do better tho! AMAZING!!

  • she's good, but the big notes sound like yelling, she's forcing the whole thing a bit but GREAT JOB!

  • also, my favorite part of the song starts at 1:06. up until the end line. GUHH I love this so much.

  • that was so good. I just cried. but mostly because it's a really really sad song. but really. she's amazing.

  • Did she win?

  • Third place

  • you should have gotten first!!

  • kawillmcc,

    One of the judges was stating that they thought Kristen was straining for higher notes.

    Do you agree?

    If so, did she warm up her voice for a while before competing, before singing that song?

    Gentle, extended warm ups of the voice can make such transitions much easier to achieve, and improve the tone production in registers which feel and sound strange when sung on the spot without warm up.

    Again, as I stated in my previous comment, Kristen did a great job!

  • @kawillmcc  She did brilliant anyway I love that I bumped and watched this it gave me chills :)

  • wow she is amazingg especially at 15!!! im not exaggerating when i say she should be on broadway. just needs a teenise bit more emotion/performance but other than that phenomenal job

  • wow she is really good and the way she acts too. like facial gestures. and really pretty

  • you have a really high chest voice, that's amazing, just don't damage it.

  • great performance... she emotioned me :)

  • Ouch! @ 2:34

  • Lovely! (:

    Keep Singing And Holding On To Your Dreams :)

  • If you hold out the

    "The world if full of happiness that have ever known . . . . . "

    Hold out that Known, it's really breath taking if you do that!

    Other then that it was great!!

  • perfect job!

  • She has a great voice.

    But constructive criticism from someone in the musical theatre businaess eight years:

    She needs to act! If she sad the whole time then she ruins Eponine's fiesty character. So she needs to be happy up to 'And I know it's only in my mind' or it makes people have no sympathy for. And she got the word word the end she said 'without me his world will go on changing' but it should have been 'turning' in place of 'changing' or it makes to sense.

  • I agree with your comments. She emoted well in the begining, but then it seemed she concentrated on belting out the notes and some of the emotion went with it. You don't need to shout to creat an impact. But she definitely has a great voice and could easily have a career in stage performance. Just needs a little fine tunning:-) I was impressed!

  • You are really awesome!!!

    Pierre

  • LOVE her voice

    constructive criticism, voice was a little harsh at the beginning, needs to be very soft until the climax of the song at the end

    :)

  • She's REALLLY good!

  • nice voice!

  • she's off on :42

  • this is okay

  • Really good job, this song is really difficult to sing...

  • wow tht girl can sing but at 0:35 there is a tag that says 'enter your text here'

  • beautiful voice.

  • beautiful voice, wonderful song

    wow, amazing!

  • this was really good!

  • beautiful!!!! was this event called idols for a cause?

  • wow this is great...

    i hate how they said her voice was breaking on the high notes

    i dont hear it on the vid

    she was perfect

  • That is being pretty picky. She was very good

  • lol good... but she sings "without me, his world'll go on changing" at the end instead of "go on turning".... a minor error

  • this is very good

  • the 'still' from 'still I say' is not so nice, but the 'over' from 'when the night is over' is awesome!! haaha

  • o my gosh!!!!!!! so beautiful!!!!! love this song! love this voice!!!!! keep singin girl! get ready for broadway! :D

  • Oh my goodness. This is absolutely incredible. Keep singing!

  • Dude, your daughter looks like monica lewinski. But she can sing.

  • Great job. i sing it differently than you but thats okay :) loved it good control.

  • nice voice... needs help with sustaining and not straining... also needs to work on breathing/phrasing. Also, messed up the words and it showed. Needs a voice teacher.

  • She is am amazing singer and she is really pretty! Shae does not look 15, she looks alot older

  • Fantastic voice! Interpretation full of emotions! Very talented young lady!

  • She's very good. Her voice reminds me of the Little Mermaid.

  • omg you're so right!!!!

  • she is soooo pretty....

    doesn't look like she's 15...

    !!!

    check out my vids.... me singing with friends and choir at districts.

  • your daughter is very talented. i hope she won. she's very emotive while she sings and that adds a lot to any performance.

  • Wow you are amazing. I actually liek this better then Lea Salonga

    but there happens to be this girl at my school and we are doing les miz this year and i like hers a bit better. she is the most maazing singer ive ever met.

    but you were soo great.

  • Maybe because she is a highschool student. but I believe she could be.

  • Nobody is better then Lea Salonga,

    Though this girl can sing!

  • thats amazing,i sang that song for a talent show and won,but she is way better

  • wow amazing.... why would you ever pick this song for a contest though, its like writing a P.h.D. dissertation when you are asked to do a book report.

  • I think this is the second best rendition of "On My Own" I've heard, next to Lea Salonga, of course :)

  • she has a good voice and sings that part well. i hope she won.

  • my name is kristen, i'm15, but i can not sing as good as that. she's amazing!

  • beautiful

  • that was a great performance!!

  • you have SUCH a beautiful voice. you will go very far. but one thing i will say is that i think you played around with the tempo and the melody a little bit too much, it threw you off sometimes. other than that - amazing job, i love your voice!

  • The lyrics were switched around, but she is really good. Stupid judge.

  • Beautiful voice. Beautiful girl :)

  • wow that's great!!!!!!!!!

  • that was a beautiful performance but i would never attempt to sing anything like that. regardless, what the judge says that was better than anything i could have done.

  • greak job

  • Wow...that's amazing! You must be so proud. :)

  • very good! just a musical voice

  • Hmmm. This voice--while beautiful--was not made for the quiet and the tranquil song that is Epinone's glance at the world. I'd recommend something from wicked--''No Good Deed Goes Unpunished'' comes to mind. ^^ Even thusly, the judge was too harsh. I think this young lady has a real future.

  • Beautiful voice. I agree though.  I'd suggest "The Wizard and I" as well. And btw, it's "No Good Deed."

  • that women judge was probably just jealous LOL

    she did fine...i mean seriously...she didn't sound like she was screaming AT ALL...that mean judge woman needs to keep in mind that this girl is just 15 and she's not Idina, so she needs to lay off.

    i think that for a 15 year old...that was spectacular and that even girls that are 18 or 19 would have gotten a run for their money

    i agree with the first and the final judge on everything...the dress...the presence...the broadway style voice :)

  • Your daughter is a very talented singer. Encourage her to keep up the vocal training and practice. She's stunning and could certainly create some amazing music with that voice.

  • no offence but that is crap. Im 13 and i sing it a million times better. loL JOKING IT WAS AMAZING!!

  • woooooah. Holy crap. She's a rllly good singer. I c y she got da prt.

  • Kawill, you must be a very proud dad. At 3:21 she hit the killer note on "pretending". I do not agree with the judge who said that she was reaching for the high notes. She HIT them, and you are supposed to be reaching for those notes, and she got there.

  • beautiful voice, i sing this song also, but i'm only 11.......

  • thanks

  • that was amazing! i envy you so much? i went to a voice instructor not that long ago and i sung a song for her that i'd been rehersing for quite a while and i thought it was one of the best i'd done. she taped it with her top notch equipment and played it back and said "do you REALLY want it to sound like THAT?" i was devistated. i was almost crying when i left. the worst part is all my singing friends rave about how acurate she is. god i wish i had your voice!

  • Even if she was really accurate she shouldn't have said something like that, constructive criticism is best. Don't let what one person says bring you down, keep practicing, you always think you sound worse than how other people hear it. Keep going! And maybe post a vid of the song you sang on youtube, get some other opinions as well. :)

  • omgd that is well harsh pooor u i feeel for u!!!!

  • oh my god, what a bitch! lol

    i can't imagine someone telling me that O.o

  • Don't you give up. Find an instructor that isn't full of themselves and can give an honest opinion without being a dusche and I am sure you can achieve your dreams.

  • this is the most wonderful voice I ever have heard !! You sing amazing! oh, its so unfair...

  • WOW! good job you're amazing

  • woooow

  • this is brilliant

  • 15? OMG!! What a voice! I wish I could sing like that..

  • very amazing

  • wow omg amazing job!!.. it sounds like the original

  • mic technique! haha but good

  • That was pretty good! Getting a vocal coach would help with the voice control and then she would be amazing..there were definitely some VERY rough spots. Keep singing!

  • I agree 100%. Sometimes it seemed like her tempo was off by a little bit. All together a very good preformance.

  • a couple of boo boos but pretty great

  • WOW...she's amazing.

  • wow this is really good for a 15 yr old!!! great job!! keep it up!!

  • adore this song even though at times it makes me cry as i can be a very soppy person

  • The talent, ability, and looks are all there. She needs a good vocal coach and someone who can teach her about performance, but all the stuff that can't be taught is there in spades. If she's driven and this is what she wants she's got it.

  • wow, you're amazing! never, ever stop singing

  • she looks like a young Natalie Portman...even sounds like her kinda...she will be very beautiful and successful if she ever pursues it. my personal opinion...wonderful Job Kristen.

  • How did a broadway singer get inside her body? She's so amazing! I sing too, and watching her is so amazing! Good for her for winning 3rd place!

  • I think she's great. Get her on Broadway! I can't get over all these negative comments. She's 15 for Pete's sake and she's beautiful. Carry on...

  • shes good she sounds kind of like a broadway version of jordin sparks! where did she get that track? please comment back

  • she made it a little bit poppish. but it was good, did she win?

  • It was a pop idol type of contest held in a theater that usually does Broadway style musicals. So, she tried to sing it as a sort of mixture of both. She won third place.

  • loved the vocals but i think the performance as a whole could be worked on but i think that comes with age and experience.... a lil star in the making :) xox

  • pretty good changed some words haha

  • P.S.- belting this song = good!!

    this is DEFINATELY a belting song!!

  • Very nice voice! The only thing I'm going to say is next time you should sing a pop song for something like that- I couldn't get into the song because... well, you weren't Eponine! You weren't wearing what she would've worn, and you weren't acting- just singing. Your voice is really amazing though!

  • She wasn't in the show...she was just performing the song and she's so amazing and she's such an amazing person! one of my best friends! love u Krissy!

    <3 T

  • very pretty voice! And pretty face too! :-)

  • that judge was a bitch! kristen is fantabulocious!!!! i love her voice!! my voice is kinda like dat but not as good.

  • She has a really good voice, amazing. Only bad point was she mucked up the words in the most important parts of the song.

  • yh, she said 'changing' instead of 'turning' and ' i'm only here till moring' instead of ' i walk with him till morning'

  • With the second one, she did say "I walk with him till morning", but I agree with you on the first one, she did say "changing"

  • jeez, that second judge was harsh. that didnt sound like screaming at all! all i know is that is sounded AMAZING! wonderful job!

  • AMAZING!!!! did she win?

  • Third place...thanks for the support.

  • hmmmm. To tell you the truth, with a performance like that at her age, she should have gotten first place no matter what. But third place isn't bad...how many people were competing

  • Wow, she's good!!!! Props 2 ur daughter!!! :-)

  • Great voice!

    But 1 thing: she shouldn't belt so much of the song. Eponine is supposed to be vulnerable, and she doesn't sound vulnerable.

  • This isn't the play buddy, it's only a competition/talent show. And ALLLLLL of the professional Eponines belt the song. You've no idea what ur talking about.

  • haha gd one mate. my mate i love belting it out wen we sing n we sound gr8

  • SHES AMAZING PLZ AUDITION 4 THE SHOW

  • Ok. That reminded me of American Idol! She's good!

  • she should audition, either for this or one of

    the new ones like Legally Blonde the musical.

  • I really like the way she did this. She made is sound pleasantly different then many of the other ways I've heard it. I sing it too on my page, but think she has really great talent!

  • shes got great voice and prescense, but she looks like monica lewinsky. hee hee

  • This is truly incredible. Your daughter has a voice beyond her years. I would kill for a voice like that :)

  • Very good you should be very proud of your daughter she will go far! Good Luck!

  • Wow, lovely voice!

  • Not fair. She's pretty AND talented.....=D....I'd like at least ONE of the two.....

  • I'm actually being trained to sing this song...dude it's hard lol Great preformance!

  • Very nice, I like her performance more than most professional versions on YouTube. Really, I sing this song a lot as well, but my low range is not as beautiful as yours. Congratulations!

  • Thank you for the nice comments.

  • wow your daughter is really good. she should sing on broadway.

  • she's pretty good. suprised she didn't win i'd like to see what the first place winner did.

  • Really pretty voice, more training and she can be reallly good

  • really good :)

  • pitches can be fixed.

    what's more important is that she's really feeling the power of the song. beautifully acted.

  • It was a little pitchy but really good rendition!

  • did she win? she's good.

  • She won third place. Thanks.

  • your voice is great ;D wow..:)

  • Beautiful!!!

  • I did this song for my music exam and I do not think it was anywhere as good as this. Although she did shout at times. It is a really difficult song to sing especially the belting parts lol.. She did a great job of it. and she does look great =]

  • pitchy and wrong words but other than that it was ok

  • I think you have a beautiful voice and an amazing vocal range. great job. I'm auditioning for a musical so I've been trying to hear the best versions for some technique and your very good

  • It's a strange song to pick for an "idol" type contest. It isn't current at all. At the same time, her voice is beautiful and I think she did a great job.

  • The contest was associated with a local community theater. Many of the judges and audience members were people with an interest in musical theater. So about half the contestants chose songs from musicals.
