The Hunger Games "Rue's Lullaby" ["Kiss the Rain"] cover

[OtakuShia]

Very AWESOME! :D

[Cheez6087]

U R GREAT!!!!! btw I LUV ur podcast on The Hunger Games Trilogy!! I listen to every single one :D

[christionline]

@Cheez6087 Thank you :)...I don't have a Hunger Games podcast though, so I think you have me mistaken. I am going to post a cover of Safe & Sound soon, so I hope you will check it out.

[CeceandRockyAddicts]

i like it but i think you should have more confidence. forgive me if you have enough, but you dont look so confident about yourself, and you look really happy even though rue's dying. im really sorry if i offended you! :(

[christionline]

@CeceandRockyAddicts I am more confident and aware of that now. I tend to look happy when I'm nervous. This was over a year ago, I'm better at performing and singing but thank you for the comment :)

[luxaray]

wow simply fantastic



[gatorgeena]

just stop.

[emhart12]

Just remember, Rue is dying....You look much to happy. Otherwise nice job. just calm down a bit. :)

[christionline]

@emhart12 My apologies...that's kind of my nervous reaction, to act silly. I'll try to try this again and look less happy? And thanks :)

[emhart12]

@christionline lol, ok...Best wishes!!

[Hungergamesfan7]

nice voice.

[PeanutSauce75]

really nice!:)

but as said before, relax, practice if you're unsure, and facial expressions!!! rue is dying so pull something from deep inside and convey it through your pretty voice :)

[KippandAmber101]

Great voice :) Just try to lower your voice a bit, and relax yourself. It seems as if your under pressure. :) just a little more practice

[christionline]

@KippandAmber101 Yes I was under pressure. I heard this song once and then I was trying to record it in one take haha. I'll post a second take soon and see how it compares since it's been almost a year. :) Thanks for the advice!

[ruhiana]

A definate katniss

[christionline]

@ruhiana I wish :) Well, maybe. I do like acting even though I can only play myself :P

[dragoingram]

@christionline lol

[MoeLolo1]

i majorly cried at this part of the book pore Rue:( :( :( :( u have a nice voice:):):)

[christionline]

@MoeLolo1 Thank you :) I want to post the acoustic version soon.

[abpokemon]

@MoeLolo1 as did I

[hardnotlife93]

How do you think the movie will be recieved? Like for city of ember, eragon and such, they were never taken seriously. I'ts true for most young-adult fiction books (besides the twighlight saga of course) , i think. I definately will go see it but Im not sure if it will be BIG movie. What do you think?

[christionline]

@hardnotlife93 I kind of feel the same way. There will definitely be a big fan base that will see it, and people who never bothered to read the books. Depends on how the movies is made though. LionsGate is good...

[zern569]

slow down plz, relax a little, lower your voice. Its too high of a pitch. Like yourstohold0301200, just a little more practice

[christionline]

@zern569 Thank you for commenting :) I've practiced this song some more, and I think I'll post an acoustic version. I think the pressure of trying to record a song I wasn't completely familiar with got to me. I notice I do tend to go too fast...

[christionline]

@YouWishYouKnew131 Haha. I tend to do that when things don't sound exactly like I want them to.

[UnicornsAndDeath00]

LUV IT!!!!! =D

[The1997Karabug]

i like it but u sound scared don't be though! i sing alot! so ya,............... i think i may post a video of me when i learn it!

[christionline]

@The1997Karabug I was nervous when I recorded this. I took the time to learn it properly and I've become more confident since then. I'll be glad to watch your video when you post it. Just let me know :)

[chubacho]

I just wasted 3 and a half minuetes of my life...lol im just kidding i really think that if you practice some more your voice could be so beautiful. its very pretty now though :)

[ittakesnogenius]

Your voice is a bit too low for me to like it, but I can't say it's bad! It's not just for me ;)

[ilovenickandjojonas]

idk why people think your so good, you honestly just ruined the original

[christionline]

@ilovenickandjojonas Well thanks for your honest opinion. I didn't think I did that great on this song, and I sound different now. Not that that really matters. What original are you talking about?

[christionline]

@ilovenickandjojonas Keep in mind that she (Kimmy) used auto-tune and remixed her voice for the song. She was just trying to share her inspiration.

[dtluxaeterna]

@christionline Don't listen to any bad comments. I think the original STUNK. But I do like "Let's not play pretend" by Kimmy West. I love your voice and know it's growing and getting stronger just by listening to you. Good job!! :)

[OrphanRoxMySox]

@christionline

Technically there isnt an original. No one really knows how the original tune is except the writer...if she even had a tune to go with it. But i think this was amazing. :)

[christionline]

@OrphanRoxMySox Thank you. I just wanted to make sure I gave some sort of credit though, just in case people were wondering.

[JarredPelletier937]

@ilovenickandjojonas Lol. You fail, fuck the Jonas brothers. And this was a great cover of the cover. :) Loved the video and the books.

[BaschBoy1]

Before I say anything, I'm a dude.

So, here goes.

This song was beautifully sung.

When I read the 1st book, at Rue's death, I honestly got teary eyed.

The song is touching, and your voice makes it far better.

[christionline]

@BaschBoy1 That's kind of you to say :)

Thank you again to everyone who has commented/subscribed. I'll try to have another Hunger Games video up soon. Possibly "The Hanging Tree"?

[wolflupin6]

@christionline please the hanging tree!

[christionline]

@wolflupin6 I'll get on it as soon as I can :) Thanks for the suggestion!

[christionline]

@wolflupin6 I've already recorded my version of The Hanging Tree...I'll try to have it up within the week!

[MrYoshi956]

this song scares me lol

[cartiecream333]

ok your ALOT better then the original. the original is really pitchy

[hardnotlife93]

i definitely like that you have a strong voice unlike most of the other's (including the "official" one). You add you'r own special touch to the tune which i like. You have a pretty face... i mean a pretty voice =).

[christionline]

@hardnotlife93 Your comment made me smile :) I was surprised people actually liked this. I was so nervous recording it! At least least now I can sing "stronger" with more emotion. I'm thinking about posting another cover of this song just so I can compare...

[mjpacheco2013]

i cried when i read this

[blitzchamp482]

OUTSTANDING

[TheSteffiProductions]

Poor Rueee :( One of my fav characters because she's just like me...

[toddhi1]

i LOVE this cover you did great job



[christionline]

@toddhi1Thank you! :)

[TheVyrant]

its good but the words or off on your lip sync but where did you get the tune from mockingjaynet?

[christionline]

@TheVyrant The tune is a piano piece composed by Yiruma..."Kiss the Rain" (title). And I'm not so sure it's so unsynched. I'm just singing a little funny so it looks like it's off. (I listened to the video on my camera before I posted.) :)

[DominicHowardLover]

awww I'm gonna cry when Rue dies... this is pretty! :) Great job!

[TheVyrant]

i think she's lip singing thumbs if you think so

[christionline]

@TheVyrant Thanks, but I don't think I did well enough on this to lip synch. Trust me, I'd find someone more skilled than myself. I'm singing with my lips! haha. :) Besides, who sang this song with my voice?

[Becca35treehugger]

@TheVyrant

it's called lip syncing. & you can tell she isn't. obviously someone sang this because it doesn't sound fabricated at all.

[xxyukixxxchanxx1]

you have a really nice voice

[KurayamiSuna]

you keep rushing, just relax, listen to the music and let it carry you as you sing.

[christionline]

@KurayamiSuna Thanks for your advice :) I learned the song and got better at the timing. It was mostly hard in the beginning since I didn't know when it started.

[Nrose20]

your so great! amazing voice!!

[SimsOMGplayer]

i think this song is so sad and beautiful and i think i'm going to sing it soon. :D

[TwilightBeatles]

nice, but you need to learn to count better

[evansilvester]

not badd at all

you a very talented singer =)

[dancegeek95]

this makes me sad when i think of the part of the book xP

[okoklol9011]

:D i love ur voice keep singin sistah

[RhymesWithOrange98]

really good. you have a sweet voice too(:

[christionline]

@RhymesWithOrange98 ty :) I'm going to post a HG video + contest soon, so if you subscribe (no pressure), you'll know when it's up.

[Iwalkalonleyroad]

It's beautiful! :') You suit Katniss well.

[therealdavidhahn]

I think this is lovely! You sing with a pure voice that somehow characterizes Katniss. You even look like you could be her.

[ReincarnationMaria]

Very pretty. Your voice is very natural and all the notes were in your range (meaning you didn't try to go too high nor too low). Very nicely done. You have a beautiful voice. ;)

[xXxsilentheartbeatsx]

It's a bit flat, but with more work it will be lovely. Another thing, is that it lacks a bit of emotion. You have to have it to do a song like this. And it has to be on your face if you record yourself doing it.

[christionline]

@xXxsilentheartbeatsx Definitely, I agree! I re-recorded this song--I think my voice changed. When I first did this, I think I was more focused on actually getting the words right and looking decent on camera. :P

[kprox7373]

I'm so glad she ends up with Peeta! (Hope I didn't ruin it for anyone)

[WORLDxSTAR]

hmm, not sung good. it wasn't clear. and stop moving your eyebrows..

[christionline]

@WORLDxSTAR What wasn't clear...my voice? Haha, and sorry my eyebrow moving was too excessive for you :P

[Ipwnboobz]

is it wired if you put three fingers to mouth when listening to this

[christionline]

@Ipwnboobz Depends...was it you? Is it a Hunger Games reference, or just some spontaneous thing.

[Ipwnboobz]

@christionline Is it a Hunger games refrence

[NinjaBananaMonkney]

TEAM BREAD BOY!

jabberjaymockingbird.webs.com

[TRASHYgah]

Better then the normal version :) God job.

[SuperSingingGyrl]

where did u get the karaoke????????

[christionline]

@SuperSingingGyrl It's actually not a karaoke. The song is by a Korean composer --"Yiruma". People have posted his songs on YouTube. This one is called "Kiss the Rain" :)

[MegaManny2000]

where did u get the karaoke????????

[LonelyTheHeart]

I have the same habit as you lol!

When you hit a high note ur head and shoulders rise, when u hit a low note your drop back :o

[christionline]

@LonelyTheHeart That's funny...never noticed that. I do have quirky habits though, especially when it comes to performing. This video seems so old now --I feel like I look so different.

[Yourstohold03012010]

nice voice. just a little more practice and you could be really good at this song. :)

[christionline]

@Yourstohold03012010 Thanks :)

That sort of was my practice...haha. I heard like two measures of the song and tried to learn it as I went. That may explain the faces.

[katnissforeverr06]

:/ uhhhm no.

[leelee4teamswitz]

This is really good :D

[christionline]

@SoWeirdx2 Merci. I tried...it was sort of a spontaneous "oo let's record" thing. Thanks for watching :)

[TriniPanini]

You're good..this goes really well..!

I LOVE the hunger games its AMAZING!!!!

[christionline]

@TriniPanini Agreed...about the Hunger Games being amazing :)

[KarbonKopy98]

I love this song, I love your voice. You kida look like Katniss to me haha(: This was so fitting for Rue's death...you really are great keep up the good work and make more covers because YOU HAVE AN AMAZING VOICE!

[jkf091494]

You copied Kimmy from mockingjaynet .

[christionline]

@jkf091494 Obviously I wasn't the first one to put the two and two together. Kimmy doesn't own the music or the lyrics though. Suzanne Collins wrote the words, and Yiruma composed the piano piece. I've been listening to Yiruma for a long time. Kudos to Kimmy for making something fit (although I hope in the movie the score will be more of a background "real" thing).

*Notice I said "cover" in the video description.

[jkf091494]

@christionline Ahhh, i see . Lol, makes since.

[MJsPYT21]

great job :) best version of Rue's Lullaby I've seen yet :)

[christionline]

@MJsPYT21 Thank you :)

[missRochen7]

you didn´t look into the camcorder did you ?? lol

[christionline]

@missRochen7 I was too busy looking at the lyrics...even though I know them by heart...haha

[Lilactressxx76]

me too when i listen to m videos i can hear every single little detail and if one thing is off i notice it immediately and im like......crap lol. but yea me too also i hate making excuses because i feel like when my singing is off or i mess up, I'm letting my nerves take over me and its showing the director that since my tryout isn't confident i won't be confident if i get the role or the solo. grrr lol

[Lilactressxx76]

oh ikr same happens to me lol especially on days when i audition for a play or a solo. it sucks =p

[Lilactressxx76]

nice job. =D My only comment is for you to watch the notes that slide. but above all good job

[christionline]

@Lilactressxx76 Thanks. And oh yeah, this is not my best voice. Why it on days I look okay my voice is crud and on the rare days my voice is decent I look horrible? haha. :P

[helenrules64]

good job



[cassieloughlin234]
