Me Singing Think of Me - Phantom of the Opera

[TheOnlineMusical]

this is great! keep it up!

[Vampiregirl128]

nice

[oOMissJediOo]

You have good potential :) But it was rushed.

[TheOsteward]

Your voice is great, but you don't know the material and it shows, ur too fast and you mess it up. But, your voice is great.

[Cathy901]

Your voice is spectacular! (Pretty house :-D) and pretty voice.

[RetardProductions1]

The cadenza could have been better, and the last note seemed really strained.

[rayne239]

omg i love your voice!! iv lission to like 20 others attempt this song and wow ur amazeing!

[D665]

oh wow, that is some powerful voice u have there! five stars! XxXxX

[socrplaya9]

nice vibrato =)

[SingingTheClassics]

Love your voice, it's wonderful! :)

I've sang this song too, so please check it out!

[Nadine2704]

Amazing! I love your voice :)

I tried to sing this song (I stumbled across yours because it was in the 'related videos' section at the side of my video) but mine's no where near as good as this!

Have you had voice training?

[Singing4Disney]

You voice is crazy AMAZing though!

[brunetka753]

[tara12144]

[pinkviolin101]

[slightlytwistedchild]

Wow, I love your voice! You sung the song so beautifully! I have a video posted of me singing it, but it's not nearly as good as you my friend! :] AWESOME JOB! :D

[Ribbits]

Thank you! I'm going to go listen to your recording too!

[lindsay480799]

I think both of you have awesome videos of this song!

[Canadagirl930461234]

Reeeally good I love this song it';s so pretty :D

[Jezicat]

Beautiful voice:D i love this song!

[Ribbits]

Thanks and thanks for visiting my space. =)

[Ribbits]

Thanks. =) I was using the karaoke cd I have so I went off of whatever tempo it was set at.

[bookishmuch]

"hard" was sharp. "never do" was flat.

"I won't think" was flat.

Overall VERY GOOD. But why Raoul's part too??

The bit at the end was well done but sharp.

[Ribbits]

Thanks! I appreciate knowing where I was off because that will help me improve the next time I try this song. =)

I don't know why I did Roaul's part! lol, I think I was feeling a bit silly.

[meggypoo010]

you are seriously good =]

keep it up i love this song WOO!

phantom of the opera is my favorite musical!

ha yay

[Ribbits]

Thank you! You're so sweet!

[Ashima666]

Wow!!! Great!! ;)

[Ribbits]

Thank you!

[MissManiacTheMad]

nice voice but you need much more emotion in your voice I find

[YouCANTsing1234]

you can't sing!!!!!! especially music!!!

[Ribbits]

You can't write!!!!!!especially sentences!!!

[nocturnldarknes]

lemme see you sing like that! yeah thats what I thought, shut your mouth....

It was beautiful honey. Keep it up!

[Ribbits]

Thanks. =) I appreciate it.

[Puzs7g]

OMG UR SOOO GOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[chickybabe123]

OMG!!!

AR AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! ur voice was like amazing 4 this song! but the lighting so dark i cant c ur face!

[Ikyvicky87]

Tips: The only thing is that you can reach high notes, but you really need to work out on the rest of the song. The music is way too fast which makes it more difficult. And try to control the high notes, I know they're like a pain in the back! Jaaja. Well i'd say that's it. Oh and in case you wonder.. I'm an opera singer too. That's why i'm trying to help ya. Nevertheless you have a strong, beautiful voice. Just work on it and see ya in your next performance!! Ciao!

[Ribbits]

Thanks, I appreciate the advice, it is especialy nice that an opera singer took the time to give me helpful comments. =)

[PhantomoftheForum]

Wow...Brightman has a clone? Don't rush so much though. You can't get pitches if you rush too much.

[Ribbits]

Good advice, thank you!

[Babs22h]

your placement of the sound is very forward much like sarah brightman's version of think of me. brava! I think even attempting those notes at the end says something about you as a soprano... your great! i think you've heard from others what you need to work on

[Ribbits]

Thanks so much for commenting. =)

[Ikyvicky87]

U are welcome! And please keep on singing you sing really good. Ciao...

[HeavenSinger]

that was amazing! your voice is beautiful

[XchelseachicX]

reallt great voice well done

[tedmacat]

wow. this is one of /the best/ videos ive seen on youtube thats actually by the person who put it up. good job!

...but u when sharp to the extreme (at the end and in other places). work on controlling ur voice. (or something to that effect)

[Ribbits]

Thanks, I understand what youre trying to say and I will work on it. =)

[darkestdreams7]

amazing totally awesome voice

[loco286]

BEAUTIFUL!!! brava!!! awesome pitch .....i think u should try out for the phantom of the opera play

[HeartPlant]

Almost pitch perfect, but you hit a couple of wrong notes. The end was a little iffy and your accent gets in the way of it sometimes. But apart from that it was a very credible and enjoyable performance. Try slowing the end vocalisations down and doing them perfectly, then speed them up.

[Ribbits]

Thanks and thanks again for the really great advice. I will try to practice the ending slower for a while.

[krissykat16]

that was pretty good

[luvincharlie]

OMG U GOT THE TOP NOTE!! AMAZING! gud! very in tune but im a voice coach in trainin soo here goes: improvements: the vibrato is a bit too fast if u no what i mean. sorry but u sound a bit like a sheep baaa.

[Ribbits]

Thanks, and I really do appreciate the advice. Lol, I can't believe you called me a sheep. ;) No seriously, I'll try to work on that!

[luvincharlie]

i didnt call u a sheep exactly... i sed u sounded a bit like a sheep but thnx 4 not havin a go at me thts wat most ppl do wen i giv advice i hav a recording of me singin the titanic song but i hav no video to it so if ur interested in listening jst tell me nd ill send it

[Ribbits]

I didn't mean to say you called me a sheep exactly, but I thought the idea was funny so I stretched what you ment. =) I hope that made sense. I liked the compairison. I'm so weird. Sure, go ahead and send me your singing! I'd like to hear it. =)

[silvermoonlight007]

You have a gorgeous tone. If you're starting to take lessons now, I suggest you continue with them to improve other elements of your technique: diction, pitch, vibrato, etc. I can tell all those need work, but in time, with a good teacher and lots of practice, they will be things you can easily improve. If you sound this beautiful now with little training, I'd love to hear what you sound like after a year of lessons and practice! :)

[stephab13]

i can tell ur not a natural singer but u still r amazing, iv actually sung this before with my friend, so i know how hard. id change voice when singing raoul though... pitch-wise it was pretty good, diction was ok... pretty good!

[halifirien16]

i must say, you are OK but you sound like you're trying to sound like something you're not. but the ending was horrendous and you were not able to stay on pitch. i am very surprised that after 14 years of singing, you were not able to nail this! I am 14 years old and i have nailed this song. obviously, these ppl who have commented you are not musicians and are not used to hearing the real talent that's out there. do not get your hopes up by them. that's all i have to say.

[Ribbits]

I didnt say I have 14 years of voice study or serious singing. I just said Ive been singing for 14 years. That includes singing in piddly school choruses and the shower. It doesnt mean Ive been studying how to sing for that long or taking lessons for long. In fact this was posted BEFORE taking any serious lessons. I had a little bit of lessons years before this but that was short lived and I hadnt had any real singing experience for over 6 years when I posted this.

[Ribbits]

I only JUST took up lessons short while AFTER posting this. I never said I was that great anyway nor am I trying to become a star. I just sing for fun. FUN. And you, well, you're 14. Go ahead and post YOUR singing to prove how perfect you are. Even if you were perfect that is no reason to rub someone else's nose in their imperfections. That's just mean. With that attitude no one is going to like you, perfect voice or not.

[Ribbits]

I'd rather croak like a frog than be a mean spirited person who feels the need to belittle another singer just because they (and I do admit it) didn't do that good but got a few nice encouraging compliments somehow anyway. Have a nice day oh perfect divine singer of age 14! Go spread your cheery kind words.

[halifirien16]

well at least you admitted it. and i'm not trying to belittle you. i'm just really sick of hearing ppl that suck and seeing that ppl are encouraging them!

[crushedroses]

Okay, musician here.

This is a breath of fresh air compared to some of the singers on here. Your tone is quite pretty and your singing shows great potential. The cadenza was a tad off pitch, but that's fixable. And, uh... I've never heard a 14 year old 'nail' this song. I've heard 14 year olds who THOUGHT they nailed the song, but... none actually did it.

I wouldn't take much out of the words of someone who obivously doesn't like to see other people get encouragement.

[halifirien16]

alright well then you would be surprised if you heard me sing. and im not making it up that i've nailed this song. people have told me that i have and this song really isn't that hard at all! but then again i've probably sang it more than most ppl have because i'm stuck at home all day with nothing to do...

[halifirien16]

and im really sorry to you, ribbits, for telling you that you aren't good. i showed your video to my dad (who is a music major from OBU) and he said you were quite good but there WERE things you could work on. like you're kinda like me where if you had voice lessons, you would be EXCELLENT! so again i AM sorry for being rude earlier

[Ribbits]

That's okay. I just get defensive about singing because I really don't think of myself as the best singer in the world or anything. I try my best and I hope for improvement. That's why I started taking lessons. How about you? Will you be taking lessons sometime? You're pretty young to get too serious (you don't want to hurt your voice), but within a few years you could safely take lessons. I know some voice teachers won't take on a student until they are at least 17 or 18.

[halifirien16]

i will probably take voice lessons while in college. i'm not trying to get an opera voice cause i would like to be on Broadway. i'm going to major in theatre at OBU (since my dad went there). i really love acting but singing is also one of my biggest passions. actually the more i listen to your video, the more i like it! :)

[Ribbits]

Lol, maybe my voice is one that grows on people. ;)

Very cool plan. I hope you get to be on Broadway and maybe one day I'll be up in NY and I'll hear of a new star who happened to be the girl I ran into on youtube. =)

[luvincharlie]

ur a rite show off shut ur gob nd giv others a chance

[Ribbits]

Thanks! I'm working on improving and I know I was off pitch on the end. It's good to hear that I have potential. Next time I try to sing this I will work on the notes with a piano first so that I know exactly where they fall.

[xfantasia]

she did a great job

ur just jealous..

[silverfrost87]

Wow! You sound like Sarah Brightman! How many years did you spend training your voice? It's brilliant.

[MaskedNicci]

Hee...I love the way you saying 'waking' in the line 'think of me waking'. It sounds really pretty, and your tone is really beautiful and fun to listen to. It makes the song sound so easy. I know I have a lot of trouble with this one. I'm hoping that when I get older, it'll sound like yours. And that's the truth.

[Ribbits]

Thanks, I didn't know I said that line any way special. =) It's a hard song! I'm still working on singing it right. Im sure if you keep npractising you'll learn it well.

[BlackNina15]

i like your voice very much, but about the song, isn't it too much quick?? sorry for my english

[Ribbits]

I think it is really fast. I don't have a slower version though.

[davysson]

So Good. ! I Like This !

Look me Video..

but is only a Video Test !

[eulenfeder]

woooow.

you sound wonderful.

[marcelomenuzzi]

GREAT, G R E A T VOICE!!! *clap clap clap*

[NaomiFan]

I like your voice I also sang the song but you are better

[Ribbits]

You sound nice. I think you had a lot of static from the recording device you used, but you otherwise sounded nice.

[loathingxR]

girlll, i wish i had your voice. :] you hit practically all the notes in my opinion.

[Ribbits]

Aw thanks. =)

[marshmallowygoodness]

you guys don't have the guts to post a video of yourselves singing, so if you don't have useful tips or nice comments, don't talk at all. losers.

[Ribbits]

I tried to extract some useful comments from them. ;)

Thanks. =)

[sugargirl62]

i love this song and you sing it really good.

great high notes i can almost get that high of course i am not as old as you (only a teen) but good job.

[Ribbits]

Thanks. =) When I was a teen I sounded much different! This song would have been really hard for me then.

[Mao8Asada8Miiya]

I can sing WAY better

[Ribbits]

Oh my, I'd love to hear you! =) Maybe I could learn something from you? Got any helpful tips? I know Im not that great so I'd love to take tips from someone who is much better than me. =)

[lf2hoo]

LOL!!! I can sing better then her...

[Ribbits]

Wonderful! Please give me some pointers than! I know I am just okay, maybe you could help me improve? Any tips from someone who is better than me and knows how to sing is appreciated. =)

[Mao8Asada8Miiya]

ur not even ok

[Ribbits]

Really? What can I do to sound more like you? You must have some great tips. I'd love to hear them! =) It's always good to learn from people who sing really well like you!

[noimnotacow]

ok ok, so im in chours and i know a great dam voice when i hear 1, and right when u hit that first note, i was like wow, ur a great singer keep it up, dont quit, u could have future in this *clap* *votes for 5 star lol*

[Ribbits]

Thanks, I appreciate it. I know I have a lot to improve but it helps to know some people think I am on the right track. =)

[Mao8Asada8Miiya]

wth ur falling off the right track! U SUCK!

[Ribbits]

Lol, I love you! =) Its good to have someone keep me in line so I dont think too highly of myself. =)

[Mao8Asada8Miiya]

hey, my sister and I share this account and i'm so sorry about the bitchy things she said!! I personally think ur voice is nice

[Ribbits]

lol, no problem. =)

[Mao8Asada8Miiya]

u shud take a video of urself where we can actually see your face!!

[Ribbits]

*shrug* I'm shy...but you're right.

[Mao8Asada8Miiya]

hehe keep up the work

[marshmallowygoodness]

holy crap, fricken future opera singer, THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[MisunderstoodSoprano]

I thought you rushed a little and at parts I couldn't understand you, but I thought you were good!

[Ribbits]

Thanks, I'll try to pronounce everything better next time. I felt rushed because of the CD so I guess youre right about me sounding rushed too! =)

[yumichan89]

Try singing from the back of your throat instead of the front. Your throat won't so tired that way. Also, work on your diction. For example, the word "thought", sing "thohT" instead of "thawgh". Words sound a bit different when your singing. ^-^

[Ribbits]

Thahnks for the tips! I'll keep in mind what youve suggested. =)

[yumichan89]

You're welcome. Keep up the great work. =D

[dancerxing5]

It seems like your cutting the words short- I really don't know how to explain it. like when you say "shared and seen" you cut off and seen... but other than that it was pretty good

[ivanovichmr]

Nice voice, my suggestion is to not exagerate that much your vibratto, check the phrasing and what's with that raoul's bravo? u have a nice voice for Christine. Check the last note, the high one was ok, but the "me" wasn't correct, and the cadenzza sounds a little bit too short, check those notes. amazing everything else

[ivanovichmr]

Nice voice, my suggestion is to not exagerate that much your vibratto, check the phrasing and what's with that raoul's bravo? u have a nice voice for Christine but not for Raoul. Check the last note, the high one was ok, but the "me" wasn't correct, and the cadenzza sounds a little bit too short, check those notes. amazing everything else

[FloriaTosca85]

great voice! My Lord are you all coloraturas here?I'm starting to feel lonely as the little dramatic that I am!

[Ribbits]

Lol, I wish I could sing more dramatic and mezzo pieces!

[666vixen666]

Now question, did you take lessons and if yes tell me how it all went

I am starting to look for a teacher and well I'm so nerveous. What if I just can't sing opera, is that possible? I mean if they are that critical of your singing which is great what chance do I a beginner have. ? message me back if you have time. Thanks

[666vixen666]

I have no idea why you all are critising her, it was freaking perfect and in an actual opera house it would sound superb

[Ribbits]

Nah, it wasn't perfect. I have a lot oto learn nd work on. But thank you so much for feeling it was good! The encouragement is appreciated! =)

[666vixen666]

I am a beginner so everything seems light years ahead for me. You know what's weird, I seem to sing better after drinking hot tea. Have you ever noticed that?

[Ribbits]

Lol, Ive never tried that! Give yourself time to learn. I bet you will surprize yourself. =)

[666vixen666]

hehe maybe it's because I have a flu voice right now so tea helps

[Ribbits]

That would do it! Tea sounds good right now.

[Cardostudios]

Good!

[welshoperaticdiva]

Look at some bel canto exercises.

[cassiiemariie]

AMAZING!!!

i just love it.

You are a special one. :DDD

[doha13]

I think you did a nice job, you have a brilliant developed voice, at the ahahah parts you sing too highly some notes, but that's an amazing video.thank you for that, i would be glad if i had a voice like your

[Ribbits]

Thank you! Im working hard to get better. I didnt realize I was singing too high!  I will watch that!

[marissaisgod]

someonee thinks you're really good, but you're too breathy at the end and you can't sing the last note correctly, which ruins it. :(

[Ribbits]

Thanks for the comments. I was just having fun but I will definitly work on the last notes. Its seems like I really havent learned it correctly for one thing, and the karaoke cd was new so I was getting used to it.

[dramaqueen4286]

i love this song! you sound really nice on it [there were a couple pitchy moments at the end but your high note was amazing, but im definitely not one to talk about pitch.. if u hear any of my recordings i have tonsss of pitch issues haha] but its soo nice to hear someone sing this song in their own style.. i like that it doesnt sound like you're trying to imitate sarah brightman or emma rossum, you're just singing it you're way. really nice! :)

[Ribbits]

Thanks, yeah I am a bit pitchy. I'll practice on that! Thanks for the compliments and the advice! I really appreciate that you liked the style because I wasn't trying to be like Brightman or Rossum or any other Christine. =)

[xangelofmusic101]

I think you have a good voice ^_^ Remember to keep your mouth open because it will let those note escape from your mouth so much better. Good job overall.

[adrianpdle]

BRAVISIMA !

[angelofmusicvi]

Don't listen to the mean people. You really do have a beautiful voice.

[Ribbits]

Thank you very much. =)

[Drewbie]

My pleasure dude =]

[Drewbie]

I really like your bright and bouncy approach on this song. Most of the versions I've heard people singing this song are sung very ligarto, but I like your unique version of it.

You handeled the last high notes really well I thought, but you rushed them a little so they went a but out of tune. Next time take your time and it will sound amazing =]

You have a really great voice. keep it up! =D

Freya x

[Ribbits]

Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement and the advice. I will keep everything you suggested in mind when I attempt this again. =)

[ArmandsChild]

oh, the same happens with my camera

[Ribbits]

I wish I had a better camera! You might be right about the last note though. Sometimes I learn things wrong and never think to fix it. But i'll be sure to try to do better! Thanks for the advice! =)

[ArmandsChild]

it was good exept for the last to notes, it was a little to high for you, and the last note was wrong. but good job

[Ribbits]

Thank you. Actually it's not too high for me at all. I can sing much higher, although i will admit that right now I am out of practice so I can do much better. I also have a camera that doesnt take loud high notes very well at all so they always end up sounding "brassy".

[HiddenBeauty]

Once upon a time, a young women didn't have school, so, she searched YouTube to kill her time until her friend came over. So she saw you video and *clicked* on it and was blown away by your voice. So she left a cheesey comment and says you should continue singing. ^_^

The end. *bows*

[Ribbits]

Aw thanks! I liked your story too! Hope youre having a good day off school.

[odon9899]

uh well i was just searching for phanton music for the memories from my childhood and i found this... i think youre an excellent singer, your voice is very pretty... and you had some guts to put this up, i never could do that, i guess im too afraid of critcism...

but really it kicks ass... more people would comment but i dont think a lot of people search for phantom

[Ribbits]

Thank you! Do you sing then? Im afraid of criticism too but I really like singing so I guess that makes me just brave enough to put this up. I also have fond memories of Phantom from my childhood. The music is beautiful!

[odon9899]

No I don't sing. My sister was into phantom and all those plays when we were younger. Last night I was trying to remember fun music and I thought of phanton, hence why I found your singing.

Do you live in Toronto?

[michelleozzy]

DON´T BELIVE THTA, YOU REALLY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VOICE, AND YOU WILL REACH THE STARS IF YOU CONTINUE SINGING

, YOU HAVE THE TALENT, JUST AN ADVICE, YOU HAETO TRAINE YOUR VOICE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE VOICE FOR MANY YEARS, BE GOOD

[Ribbits]

You have me completly baffled. Either you just like to play mind games.Or youre trying to just be silly and jokingly made the first comment because you feel its untrue and you figured I wouldnt believe it, but to be sure I knew you were just joking you made a second comment.

Ah, dont confuse me. I know Im not the greatest in the world. I know I need better training. I dont even have a diva additude in me that needs knocking down. I knock my own self down too often.

[michelleozzy]

you suck , lol you are shit, you will never be sarah brightman, no matter how you try, she is an soprano angel, and you are a maid , lol im still laughthing

be good

[Ribbits]

I dont ever want to be Sarah Brightman, or any of the others who have played Christines. I just like the music.

[ianvittor]

I don´t agree... I think she have to study a little more, but she have a beatiful voice, Don´t call her names!

[Ribbits]

thank you!
