  • Great job Carina! Don't let ADHD get in the way of your dreams.  I was diagnosed with as a kid also. Just remember its not a disability, as long as you don't let be. ;) Good Luck and don't give up on your dreams.

  • she's good but shouls try with just the instramental

  • she is GOOD!!!

    ps.i did not read the story till afterwords but she is AMAZING!!!!! :)

  • Wtf. The CD is overpowering her voice. She did OK. Not the best. Try watching the video without reading her "story" and then judge it.

  • She is really good. Sadly, her story reminds me a little of my own and poor Elphaba's. Hopefully she'll rise above it all - in fact, judging by her performance here, I'm sure she will =]

  • omg.

    :)

    you did a brilliant job.

    keep it upp.

    & i love this musical.

  • Cute, nice job kid :)

  • I have ADHD too! I've been teased 1st-5th!

  • She is great.

    Keep going for your dreams no matter what.

  • wow, that was great! amazing grace will still remain my favorite though :D

    she's amazing and stunning, seriously!

    she should be proud of herself, because that did take guts.

    i love that she can sing without voice lessons (i know that she has them now, but i mean before this) because it shows true, raw talent. i love singing, and i started singing lessons just this year. it did help a lot, but this really shows she has amazing, natural talent! (:

  • keep up the wonderful work! I see Broadway in your future :)

  • From what I can hear, shes not too bad. But maybe without the words over her would be better. We know Idina is talented, we should hear her!

  • one day no one will make fun of her when she becomes a super star! she has the talent a lot of people dont

  • wow she is amazing! Awesome job! She should follow her dreams no matter what people do to her. Great job! Thumbs up!

  • Amazing.

    She's very talented.

    And I like the description.

    She deserves fans.

  • what is ADHD?

  • attendion defecit hyperactive disorder or something like that

  • OMG THAT WAS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!! And those kids who are laughing at her and teasing her probablly not lauing now she has such a powerful voice you go girl!!!

  • omg she is amazing!!! wow!!!! those people making fun of her are stupid!! shes amazing and i kno someone with ADHD and she is awesome!!! but anyway carina is amazing!!! u go girl!!! keep on singing!!! lol (:

  • she is amazing! you go girl!

  • u cant even hear her!

  • when she was born if she 11 years old?

  • That was truly amazing!

    I'm fourteen and I cannot sing like that!

    That was awesome keep singing ,Girl!

  • MAZZZING!! <33

  • Absolutely beautiful! Way to go, Carina! :D

  • she is amazing! don't let mean kids at school bring you down. trust me they can't sing like that. it was great. you will most definitely make it to broadway. always have faith in yourself.

  • i totaly agree (:

  • Your future is 'unlimited'. Always have confidence in yourself - you rock!

  • wow she is a great singer and it is amazing that she has the courage to get up onstage because its scary singing in front of a crowd. i cant imagine how it would be for an ADHD person so amazing job carina!! <3 xoxo

  • Wow, you were great! :) Never let people bring you down, you are amazing.

  • Go to Broadway chick! Your beginning is really strong. I didn't understand at first that you were singing to the cd. I thought someone was singing it with you. No one and I mean no one deserves to be treated that way. I loved that you sang that song!

  • amazing!

    you where awesome!

  • being on stage in scary, so u can imagine how it is for someone who has ADHD and not to mention she is so young!! CARINA ROCKS!

    thats also my daughters name, and if she turns out to be half as brave as carina, i will be blessed!

  • great stage presence...she looks really comfortable on stage!

    a karaoke cd would have been better. But, still really great job, esp. so young!

    Keep it up!

  • You know some people are just plain cruel. So ignore all the coments from the miserable people who have nothing better to do than post negative comments. Apparrently they have nothing positive going on in their own lives and want to bring everyone else down to their own level.  She did a great job!! Keep on singing ! It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there and sing! I know I sing also. If she can do that she can do anything!!! Besides I don't see any videos of them singing!

  • you go, Carina! You did well! Be proud of yourself!! ^_^ Taking on a big song like that takes some guts, and you have guts, girl! Good for you!!

    Don't let what other people say bring you down, always try and never give up!! you did great kid. ^_^

  • Good job!

  • She's good. But I did have some trouble hearing her over the CD. She is very brave! I'm in the ninth grade, and in concert choir. We're doing a show at the end of the month, and I don't want to!

    She is a lot better than people I've heard who sing on the internet, etc. And I'm not just saying that! ^_^

  • she was excellant, you're just jelous! and she is brave! and she's not dressing like a slut!

  • and are you a musical expert? she's only in the 5th grade! God man, get a hold of yourself! how would you know what it's like to have a mother who has to talk through a robot?!?! how would you know what it's like to have ADHD?!?! and if you know how to read, the description stated that the music was too loud but it got turned down. and, to add this, how is wearing a SKORT, dressing like a slut?? to say that about a kid in the 5th grade obviously shows your character. dont be an ass!!!

  • Well thank God that she no longer lets bullies, like you, take away her self-esteem and confidence. You are definitely a bully in every sense of the word. This child has lived through more tragedy than you can imagine and thru her singing and faith she has gained strength. Never have we claimed that she was the next great star, the posting was originally for family but others have watched and seen exactly what it is- a girl finding her "voice" in this hard world, be it good or bad.

  • @elbowfrenzy u r a jerk and i reported u so screw off

    ps amazing talent carina all my friends love you

  • wow ur good !!!!

  • Your're really good!

  • Ive been bullies practically all my life as well, and i don't let it stop me. You did a fantastic job, keep going with it!!

  • yeah, i have ADHD too. you rock, girl, keep on singing! it took all my courage to try out for that god-awful highschool musical this year at my school, and im 13!

  • Great job

  • RESPECT this was AMAZING, I got ADHD too but I didn't get courage to do anything like this until just last year. she's really good. that girl will go far

  • who cares if its a skirt or skort lol

  • My 11 yr old daughter is always singing Wicked songs,thought your version was great!!!!

  • Fantastic performace. Carina you really did this song justice, well done.

  • Holy Crap. This girl is amazing! :D I'm so proud of her to have the courage to do that. And she managed to pull out a spectacular performance. I know I could never do that. Never stop singing, your voice is so strong and beautiful!

  • I LOVED IT!! YOU ROCK CARINA!! WOOHH!!

  • oh my goodness carina! That was an amazing job!! You are such an inspiration! Keep singing!

  • Omigod. I'm crying. That's so amazing that she would- that's just- sweet oz. Great job. Don't listen to those people. Really, honestly, it's no shame to have a problem. It's not your fault, and they shouldn't tease you for that, just like what they did to Elphaba, and she turned out to be better than any of them, and /you/ will turn out better than all of them because your voice is soooo great! You can laugh at them all when you're in the recording studio or on Broadway. ;)

  • GREAT JOB!!!  Keep at it.

  • dear carina, you were amazing and don't let other people bring you down!!!!!!<3

  • Carina you did a fantastic job. xxx

  • your amazing. i got teased and tormented at younger school, but i just kept going. and i'm better off for it. just keep going, your so good. and you have the ability to go far. keep up with what your doing, and follow that dream. come out of the hard times stronger and more sure of your self that you went in and just keep going.

    you go girl! :) xx

  • I think she's quite good (especially for an 11-year-old), but I think it's riculous that she should earn more respect than any other girl of her age. I mean it's tragic what has happened to her and to her mother, and I honestly feel sorry for children like she, but it's an acknowlegded fact: tears do not create talent.

  • You are correct-tears do not create talent but a strong desire to stand above those that would push you down can. Carina is now 13 and though at the time of this show I had no other choice than to use the CD for her to sing to, she has since sung in many shows with just background music and done amazing. She has also appeared in her first stage play with a speaking and singing part and was great. Her confidence from her singing has helped her grow into a confident young lady.

  • Yeah, that's definitely true. And I wish her all the best with growing confident and learning more and more about singing! I mean, singing is my passion too and I've been bullied too, so I know what everybody's talking about. And I'm sorry for the way I formulated my comment: I meant, of course, that she should earn just AS MUCH respect as any other girl of her age =)

  • Please, please post some new videos of Carina! It's been so long! I'd love to see how she's coming along with her singing!!

  • I am trying my best, truly I am, for she's grown so much in years and voice. Unfortunately most of her performances don't allow parents to tape but we can buy the DVD of the shows but then they are difficult to upload. She was in our local Talent spotlight singing "Think of me" from Phantom and though she messed up her last verse she muddled thru and no one knew it but us. I think she was overrehearsed but I am trying to upload it so please be patient and thank you for the jolt of kindness.

  • It's funny but my daughter also sang "Think of Me" last summer and messed up the last verse. But it was at a wedding we were attending in Poland and nobody knew the song (let alone noticed a mistake!!)

  • She wasn't asking for MORE respect, just what everyone is entitled to. She has publicly performed numerous times in the last 3 years and she is growing in talent (last week on her 14th birthday she performed in the state regional solo competition and scored high), but more importantly, she has grown into a confidant young lady who no longer suffers from poor self esteem and her peers no longer tease her because she is different. Singing was her way of taking back her personal power.

  • bullys will pick on you because your different. but give it time, because later difference becomes interesting and people care. you gotta keep up with it; YOUR GOOD :)

  • Good Job! Dont let anybody pick on you! Just ignore them.

  • i've seen wicked and i can hear that that in the backround, the good singing is kerry ellis. you need to sing it with just the backing to show of you voice more the singing just makes you sound rubbish coz ure being compared to kerry.

    im a singing coach and i have to tell you to keep your voice steady and pick a song that doesn't strain ure voice to much.

    other than that ure pretty good

  • the singing in the background is Idina Menzel not kerry ellis...

  • great

  • wow ur soo GOOD...beautifel voice keep up the good work :]

  • I'm 15 right now, have singing lessons and I'm absolutely not able to sing this like she did. respect!

  • ok i have worked with the cincinnati opera compony and he childrens theater of cincinnati i have been in 20 shows in all and im 12......i can' sing that.that was amazeing

  • wow i also have adhd i never could have done that, you are soo my hero right now girl!

  • i've been in a similar situation like you carina, i've been bullied about my autism and i like thinking of the stage as a second home.and i have been in a musical and i have done a solo. i'm kind of like you in a way, since we've been teased before. there are people like you who have been in the situation you have gone through, so you're not alone! and great job!!

  • She's so cute!! I love her voice! She has such a clear and strong voice! She should sing with instrumental melody :D

  • dang she has a beautiful voice and not a lot of people can sing that song Great job!!!!!!

  • wow. keep performing. nice voice.

  • oh wow! ur like completely M*AZING! =D

  • wow! u have guts and r gd!

  • I am so proud of you! You are very talented. It took alot of guts for you to get up there and do that! If people pick on you, DONT LISTEN! There bullies and their jealous. I know because I get picked on alot too. You just follow your heart.

  • You ROCK Carina! Great job! You sounded great! No. FABULOUS!!

  • i hear idina ... but carina 2 that little girl is good!

  • She has an amazing voice :)

  • Super Carina! You are good, very good. You sing well. Much luck to you!

  • Great job! If I could have sung that well when I was 11... I was terrible! Imagine how much better you'll get as you grow older-- you could take over for Elphie! :)

  • Dear Friends, I am proud to say that Carina was just in her first musical play. She nailed the audition and got 2 parts. A supporting part with lines, the other singing and dancing in the ensemble. When I recieve the dvd, I will try to upload some of her performances for you. She's come a long way for she is now 13. She's done other performances but tech difficulties have prevented me from posting them. Thank you all for the support for it's given her the confidence to strive after her dream.

  • Amazingg, you only get tessed because there jelous of your amazing voicee promiise xx

  • Carina, you are friggin' AMAZING! Don't let the other morons who make fun of you keep you down. My mom suffered from depression while I was growing up and I got made fun of as well. It'll all work out in the end when you're on Broadway as Elphaba and they're working for minimum wage at some crap McDonald's. YOU ROCK!!!

  • carina, sweetie, you can do anything as long as you put your mind to it, you can do anything!!! there is no one to bring you down, don't give up and reach for the stars!!!

  • She is AMAZING! What a brave, strong little girl.

  • wow! im impressed!

    ~Michelle

  • You have a beautiful voice and I love this song! Oh and btw your clothes are cute.

  • nicely done.

  • you are really good the people who leave mean comments are just jealous and stupid. I think ur great, and my name is Carina too!! Awesome huh? And I LOVE Wicked!!! I've seen it twice!! You rock!

  • girl, you're awesome!!!

  • She's singing along with Idina Menzel on the track. She should have done it alone. It's much easier to sing a difficult song like that when you can match your pitch to another (amazing) voice.

  • you go girll!!!!

  • Be careful hun not to damage your voice trying to sing in that range, especially if you're trying to belt theres a risk you'll damage your vocal chords.

  • Thank you for your good advice. She and I just had a discussion about this today because of the unfortunate news about Jordin Sparks today. She's 13 now and she can really belt a song out, but I now have support in you and others that have commented on that danger to let her know that it can have ramifications if done too much or incorrectly. Thank you once again

  • WOW!

    She better have won!She is seriously one of the best Wicked singers I have seen on youtube!

    She will be on Broadway one day!

    I WILL FOR SURE BE FRONT ROW TO WATCH YOU THERE CARINA!
