[Cathyelliott]

Wonderful just topped 5,000 views and I didn't even notice it! Wow. What a great few years, folks. Stay strong, friends!

[Cathyelliott]

I'm having an amazing summer in Charlottetown. I wrote and composed a musical about First Nations Youth. We performed for the Royal Couple two days ago, and I'm still flying high from that. What's next?!

-Justice For The 96-

[Cathyelliott]

@lfcJFT96 What's a piss take? Yes, I wrote and sang this song. I recorded it and lip- sinced to it in my car with the cd in my car's cd driver. But that's my voice. Cheers, Cathy

Hey Cathy, a friend of mine passed this on to me and I was blown away. Truely inspiring! Thank you

[ganjalistic]

nicely composed cathy, however, can i suggest wearing a blu-tooth headset whilst recording these videos??? so passers-by dont think you're quite such a raving loon-a-tic!! haha well done though keep up the writing!

[GABRIELLE8675309]

iLike

[cyrussink]

nice tune.

[CTOL1]

I had to come back for another "fix" of Wonderful

I saved this to my PC as a .flv file do I owe you royalties?

Cathy, I wish this could get air play everywhere !!

Peace and warmest regards

[Cathyelliott]

99cents! Should I put it up on i-tunes? I have a friend trying to get a big time producer to listen to it.  Who knows? Who do you think would be a great artist to cover this song and make it famous?

[CTOL1]

Chris Daughtry?

The Indigo Girls have a knack at finding artists, perhaps it should be YOU that gets some big producer that can take this to a new level.

This surly is a more theatrical type song (and is WONDERFUL) all on its own

I mean Daughtery even does "Poker Face" by Lady Ga Ga ....... seriously, hit him up

[mindovermatter2009]

wow Cathy!! this is something wonderful all right. I can hear this on a Walt Disney Movie. Or a broadway musical. I hear a Bet Middler attitude. I love it. Your funn!!!!

Looking forward to coming to visit you often. what a strong song. I just love it!!! Your voice is amazing and addictive :))

Lisa~

5starz/fav~ but you deserve your name in lights hun!

[Cathyelliott]

Lisa, You just made my day. Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. I love your site too. Cheers, Cathy

[CTOL1]

I think I need to add you great simply great

[Oswlek]

Well done. Very theatrical, I can imagine this being performed on stage to rave reviews - the signature song of a play where it appears early on full of hope and trepidation and then again after things have been fulfilled to close the show down.

The backing vocals and the ebb and flow of the lead enhances this quality.

[tps607]

Most excellent! *****

[Cathyelliott]

Thanks for the rating, my friend!

[okieart]

Beautifully done!

[Cathyelliott]

Holy Moly. Guys, check out the okieart link. Thanks, Dave, for your comment. I've just, oh it's been a month? Checked out your link and I'm blown away flattered. Cheers to you! Cathy

[Cathyelliott]

I think it's hilarious that most of the visits I have at the moment are from the "crushing the bottle". Hee hee.

[CollyShawBand]

WOW!! Well done. You go girl.

Your friend

Colly

[cpcps]

I Heard this song for the first time a week ago, and when I go home last week I couldn't get the tune out of my head. I absolutely love it! I had the pleasure of working with Cathy Last weekend and it was a pleasure, What an extremely talented individual. Cathy you Rock!!!!!

[Cathyelliott]

Thank you so much! It WAS a great weekend, and my pleasure. A great cause, the empowerment of kids. Cheers, Cathy

[brynstart]

OMG!! that's insame I did not like that song!!!! that's stupid she's singing in her car all the time! Please girls Go F. U. Self!!!! that's ridiculous! YouTube please let other people with talent to upload music videos with different scenes!!!! no like this Beatsh!!!!!

[Cathyelliott]

1. Learn to spell.

2. Thanks for the comment. Although, I don't think you really listened to the song, did you?

3. When you put up a video of yourself singing a song you wrote, recorded and shot, I'd be happy to support you too.

[Cathyelliott]

I want your stories. What wonderful thing happened to you today?

Yay! 1,000 views!

[ScottPietrangelo]

I got to hug, dance and sing with Cathy Elliott! That was pretty wonderful!

[Cathyelliott]

Scott wrote and sang a fantastic song in Petrolia that blew the socks off everybody. I'mmmmm jealous! way to go, Scott. Not only is he a great song writer, he's a killer piano player. Go check out his channel.

[ScottPietrangelo]

Thanks for the plug :P I actually finished the words the day before I arrived in PTown... but shh, don't tell anyone LOL.

[Cathyelliott]

Thank you so much all!  I think this song is going to hit 1.000 by the end of its first month if we keep this up. I'm so touched by all the great comments and ratings. Pass it on along with the will to do good for others.

And wash your hands, sneeze into your elbow, carry kleenex and throw it away. Obama, happy 100 days!

[cadwalladee]

The most superlative superlatives do not begin to describe the wonderousness of this work of art! Maybe slightly over the top, but the song inspires it! Hey, I'll be rootin' for ya!

[inlandviews]

You've a hint of Broadway musical style in your delivery. Nicely done.

[Cathyelliott]

Wow! thanks. I do like musical theatre.  What musicals do you like?

[inlandviews]

Rogers and Hammerstein SofM and some of Webers productions. Used to be able to sing with Julie Andrews before I hit age 13.

[Cathyelliott]

I love Sondheim, Adam Guettel,I like the work of Weber (Evita is one of my favorites. I auditioned a couple of weeks ago for the Phantom sequel.)  There's a lot of exciting stuff going on out there.

I sang along with Bea Arthur (RIP) when I was a kid. "Who else but a bosom buddy would tell you the whole stinkin' truth?"

[popcur]

The voice reminds me of Bette Midler.

[Cathyelliott]

I adore her. I saw her at a film festival and was surprised by how tiny she is. What a talent.

[1shylah]

Nice song!

[cadyryanband]

That's awesome-so do clouds really have silver linings?

[Cathyelliott]

Hope so.

[childrenofthelost]

From (childrenofthelost) WONDERFUL. Thank you I loved your video. Just posted, Friendship Park and Dear Mom.

[littlepiaf]

Something wonderful already did come from your struggle...beauty.  You continue to inspire and awe. Thank you for sharing your spirit with all of us. (NE)

[Cathyelliott]

Beauty comes from struggle and desire. It's in all of us. It's putting it out there that saves us, don't you think?
