Your beautiful voice!!<3

[kandytammy]

LOVE YOUR VOICE! YOUR TALENT IS AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZING! KUDOS ALL THE WAY FROM BARBADOS! <3<3<3<3<3

[realmclennyd]

wow another great cover by a wonderful superstar who should have been on TV years ago because her wonderful voice is so awesome that she can change the world

[davieedwinarcher]

Wow. This is probably one of the hardest songs you could probably attempt because it uses the whistle register which is basically the extent that the human voice can go.

I have missed hearing songs like this where you get to hear a truly brilliant voice on a record. After listening to ur version I played the original to remind me of this classic and you really did a great job apart from missing the first note of the whistle register at 1.59. That tells me u r an awesome singer.Very well done.

[LauraFansite]

@AlexanderCarey: thanks for this reply to 'supergianny' - "Because Laura did not understand Italian I answer you: it is a coloratura soprano, but has very wide extension, in fact I think she can also play the alto range." It's illuminating and I hopeyou don't mind me showing this translation.

[Kellyturner1983]

one of my all time favourite songs. Amazing job! Prefer your version to the original :-)

[supergianny87]

laura mi farebbe molto piacere sapere che tipo di note riesci a prendere e che tipo di voce sei

[AlexanderCarey]

@supergianny87 dato che Laura non capisce l'italiano ti rispondo io: è un soprano di coloratura, ma ha un'estensione molto ampia, infatti credo che riesca a ricoprire anche il range del contralto.

[supergianny87]

@AlexanderCarey ^-^ grazie molto gentile...

[AlexanderCarey]

@supergianny87 no problem ;)

[spykerider]

subscribed and was checking out your vids, i knew you had to do a cover of this . . . . super lovely

[beccaboard]

Best cover I have heard!

[Djabliyo]

Okay, since I love Minnie Ripperton's version, I must say I was not expecting you to do it justice. I am extremely glad to be proven wrong. Lady, you've left me literally open-mouthed. I believe you'll go far :)

[mgstraycat]

I love Minnie's song. I also love the way you sang Loving You

[jacqueline1811]

woow, i didn't expect this,, amazing voice!

[gleep111]

This doesn't sound like you. :o

Are you changing your voice for this cover?

[blawah2000]

@gleep111 Nope I'm just using a different technique, similar to that of my perfomances on youtue of Pie Jesu and Ave Maria.It's my soprano voice :)

[cassylangley]

@blawah2000 isn't the ah ah ah supposed to be up in the whistle register??

[blawah2000]

@cassylangley whistling for me at least is just part of the top range of my soprano voice x

[cassylangley]

@blawah2000 ah ok, lucky you lol <3 xx

[WhatAboutGirls]

U kinda looked like Scarlett Johanson in this particular video.. =D

anyways, love your voice!

[kissandmakeupX]

fantastic, you've made it appeal to a younger audience, fantastic cover, amazing voice and you are gorgeous. You should definitely apply for x factor or something similar.

[dnine14]

You have amazing cheekbones. Oh yeah, and your cover is amazing. The thing I like is that you're not trying to copy minnie exactly, it's your take on the song. That's exactly what a cover should be.

[Truck3451]

Like Oh hell yeah. I love this songs, but I think Minnie needs to take a backseat. great job.

[kandytammy]

awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeee! <3<3<3



[TheBeshBOSHER]

just wow wow wow, you hit every high note, and sang it perfectly :o xox

[rydalkie]

wow. a question i was gonna ask was why you not go for xfactor but reading your comments i see why... i really cant understand that. maybe you sang wrong song... you are real tallented

[LauraFansite]

@rydalkie Oh yeh and Wagner sang the right song!?!?? I don't think so. It's not a talent show at all, 'big fix' springs into my thoughts. LOL

[lmsbfabb]

that was well good i dno wats up wiv the people who disliked tht cuz uv gt real talent xxx <3

[mdewey2000]

Laura honey this was fantastic, are you any closer to bringing out an album yet?

When you did the really high bit i made my eyes water lol :) xxx

Love

Chelle

[5FLASH2009]

[nanessgirl]

[Tesco247]

Hi Laura. I've heard quite a few versions of this song, but no-one hits the highs like you do. Classy.

[elofan0]

hi laura was listening this earlier and ive got to say those high notes you sing in the song just like the original are spot on if not higher , had to keep the cupboard doors closed didnt want the glasses to break GULP!!!! well done

[Butterfly2583ha]

[KevinWrench]

Breathtaking performanance Laura, my 1 year old daughter stopped watching 'In The Night Garden' to watch your video. I think she liked it ;)

[LyoneC]

[brandonhytr]

[benthemiester]

This song was actually dedicated to Maya Rudolph of SNL, the daughter of the late great Minnie Ripperton. You can hear Ripperton singing Maya Maya in the original.

[blawah2000]

@benthemiester yeah I heard her singing Maya in her live performances on YouTube- very touching x

[CrystalMurphyMusic]

Wow, that was awesome!! Love the way you sing it!! You make it sound soo easy. Never be afraid to sing any song, you can sing anything!!! Yup you could be as big as Leona someday!! :) Maybe better, only time will tell. :)

[cassylangley]

I am uber jealous lol I am trying to learn how to sing this but as yet have not reached the highest note nor have the control you have. your sooooo good xx

[cassylangley]

@cassylangley i've watched this times now! lol i'm trying to see how you sing this. I've noticed you dip your tongue on the high ah ah ah bit at 1.58, how do you do that!! Did they teach that in your training?

[partner99]

Yet another superb performance. Looking forward to the next!!!!

[graberguy]

Wow You are Truly An Amazing Singer!

-Aaron

[MsMariposa86]

Goosebumps and tears in my eyes... you are absolutely amazing!

[blawah2000]

@COTTONDOG920 Thank you, I am releasing some songs/album soon so watch this space for updates x

[PaulyWoodGaGa]

Bloody hard song to do! U ACED it!! xxx

[blawah2000]

@PaulyWoodGaGa aww thank you-yes its a risky song for sure!!

[joaocarlos8891]

heyy i wanna make a question for you Laura... Why aren`t you on american idol? why? why? and why???????????????????? you are just AMAZING SINGER, AMAZIN PERFORMANCE!

[blawah2000]

@joaocarlos8891 Aww thank you. I'm from the UK so it would be too expensive and logistically impossible for me to come over to audition for idol. I have tried the UK version a couple of times but didn't get through to even see the judges. This is why I need to do it on my own with the support of everyone who follows me online. People have to power for me to reach a wider audience, by subscribing and sharing my videos with their friends x

[Bervick]

@blawah2000

That's just wrong. I don't understand how that could have happened. There is no way they'd disqualify you. They should find you. Not the other way around. Maybe send the producers of the show a CD and links to your video. You actually don't need idol to succeed because you're better than that. But for the sake of publicity, you prob should. Please try again on Idol. You deserve to be heard. You are finalist material.

[BarryWesterhout]

@blawah2000 You DIDN'T even make it to see the judges?? You've gotta be kidding me.... Well, for what its worth, I think you're amazing. Keep it up.

[5FLASH2009]

@blawah2000 omg, how is that possible :O those people must be deaf if they won't let you go through the first round :S hmm bad English but whatever.. your voice is fucking fabulous (L)

[harvey18zack]

back again lol LOVE IT X 

[blawah2000]

@harvey18zack LOL!!

[901816]

Unreal as usual! Great job, great work, great woman! Thanks for the song! I am an avid supporter of your work! Don't lose hope you will make it to the spot light! I believe in you!

[80snessEj]

Wow this is beautiful I look forward to your next upload!!! Xx

[blawah2000]

@JoannaDestiny aww fank you x x x

[stevielovesyou123]

Those high notes, aren't that considered your whistle voice? That's an incredibly beautiful range. :) :)

[blawah2000]

@stevielovesyou123 hehe I think they are- I'm not totally sure. My bf calls them the squeek or squeel register-LMAO!!

[Janey1mee]

Just beautiful Laura :) x

[blawah2000]

@Janey1mee Thank you x x x

[DoRayMeFa]

Amazingly good job on a song that's incredibly demanding.

Super performance on the high notes, all the more so because I know from other songs how low your voice can go also.

I hope your 2011 is looking up!

[blawah2000]

@DoRayMeFa Thank you- this is def one of those songs that pushes you to the limits-haha! I find it a good vocal warm up song for sure. So glad you enjoyed it - I can't wait to have to my album out :)

[CassiieMuffin]

how are you not signed yet?!?!

[mabo123]

Love every note you sang. That was so great. This is not an easy song to sing. You’ve shown so much control of your vocal which is amazing. You have so much talent.

[wotdoesitmatter]

Minnie was the most perfect person for this song. I loved the way she'd do those sexy breaths -

♫ and every time that we do ........ ooooh ♫

then everyone in the audience claps lol.

You did so well too LB. Did you have any trouble learning it? Such a hard song to not to make it sound rushed I think.

[blawah2000]

@wotdoesitmatter Yeah Minnie certainly had full command of the song, she really played around with it in live performances. I'm unfortunatley limited to whatever the backing track demands really, and without any audience interaction def no pauses for me as it would be dead silence-haha, but I'm glad you enjoyed it x

[LyneSullivan]

lololol.... Umm did u hear yourself??? aaaammmmaaaaazing you are!!!!!!!!! ;p

[blitzen789]

Great performance of an old and difficult classic. Good news about the upcoming collaborations and album. I'm really looking forward to them. Thanks for posting. It's always a pleasure to hear you sing.

[fefimen]

Laura, Laura extremely beautiful! Your voice so clear, perfect. Full domination of this so difficult voice-chord range song. It's a privilege to hear you! Thanks! From your fans in Puerto Rico!!!

[blawah2000]

@fefimen Thank you so much, it is a challenging song, but I'm glad you enjoyed my performance x

[jaguar123987x]
