[tuffythetiger]

[yomero2969]

[TheVanessaCruz]

[HappilyAnonymousGirl]

She is so talented! You should be on the X- Factor

[TheVanessaCruz]

@HappilyAnonymousGirl i auditioned for all those shows. they all said no.

[SiiobhanK13]

@TheVanessaCruz NO WAY!? Head over to the UK.. :D Youll be picked up!! :D xx

[ANTHONYRW619]

wow girl! didnt expect that!!! powerful  subscribing! =)

[39LaNegra]

One word: TALENTED! GOD bless you! I know you will make it!!! :)

[JPhillippeMusic]

I love your voice but Mariah doesn't suit you...because when you hit the high high notes you go nasal, you need to train that...For christina songs you nail them because her belts are in crescendos and u have the power for that. In mariah's tonality i see u getting out of your confort zone..even though u still hit it better then most...

[LoboAscuridad1]

@JPhillippeMusic What does crescendos mean?

[stacym72]

Vanessa you are great thanks for posting this

[MyTalkShow1992]

you are soooo good. its not even funny

[TheVanessaCruz]

@MyTalkShow1992 thank you !

[SofiaMikhaylova]

[TheVanessaCruz]

@SofiaMikhaylova thanks <3

[Jamaikangurl]

[TheVanessaCruz]

@ttforever1984 i wish.

[jhvenus2004]

You're such a Trooper, lol.

[TheVanessaCruz]

@jhvenus2004 thanks hun

[05726003]

honey, I am a huge Mariah Carey fan and that was awesome... We all know that she's a freak with her whistle register but you don't need that to be good... I was thinking "she's not gonna do those ad libs at the end" and you kept hitting them... I was like DAYUM!!!! Go girl

[TheVanessaCruz]

@05726003 LOL thanks

[HogbergPhotography]

Nice work girl!

[gplus46]

I'll give you a Jordan Sparks

Very nice and fun!!

[TheVanessaCruz]

@gplus46 thanks! i love her.

[fasseph]

@gplus46 Nahhh! This girl is way, and I mean, WAY better than Jordin! I really like Jordin, but V-Cross here would wipe her butt in a Diva-off. Go Vanessa!

[TheVanessaCruz]

@fasseph I love that you call me V Cross. you're the only one.

[fasseph]

@TheVanessaCruz And I love that you liked it enough to reply to my comment!! Haha, there's MC/Mimi, Xtina, J-Lo, and NOW, V-CROSS! :-P I wish you the best, you're talented enough to sing people off the market.

[stardusth2o]

you look and sound like Jordin Sparks. Although the high notes were a bit strained.

[TheVanessaCruz]

@stardusth2o really? thanks and yes i did strain.

[stardusth2o]

@TheVanessaCruz Yeah, you do :) I wonder, have you had lessons? Because with a voice like yours you could go places! It's a very nice voice. I recommend Brett Mannings Singing Success. It's wonderful! Can't wait for more in the future :)

[illdymeond]

wow i  loved it.

[07535]

Great voice!!! Sigue asi!!!:)

[hopperate123456789]

omggg! i absolutellyyy lovee your voiceee!!!! I knt believe you didnt make it in american idol because if i wasz a judge i'd chose you without any doubt! (;

[angelkake3]

[TheVanessaCruz]

OMG I HIT 3000 views!!!!! thanks everyone!

[SeXxiiEChiiKa]

[kuipoc]

[azyardies]

Anytime YNaF is my all time fav song of MC...You have a nice voice and you did this Mariah song very well! Her songs are extremely hard to sing and to pull off. But you really did an awesome job.

[jaypee415]

DAMN I HEAR THA DIFFRENCE FROM WEN U WERE 16....@16 U WERE KINDA SHARP BUT STRONG N USED IT UR VOKS GOOD, BUT DIS HERE...U HEAR THA MATURITY N CONTROL...GOOD JOB!!!

[setis9602]

:O holy crap! ;) go 'head gurl!!!

[ShoaLaVoz]

@catsmartie right?! lol This is true talent. We gotta support this girl. She deserves to make it.

[ShoaLaVoz]

Jus watched the video of you singing this song at I think 16..n it's so cool how your voice seems to get BETTER AND BETTER with age. I want your voice on the radio already! So I can be singing along to your songs in my car lol Vanessa Cruz fan PRESENTE!

[melin1980]

You rock Vaness!!! I'd totally have you sing at MY wedding ;) .....what happened - go on AMERICAN IDOL GIRL!!!

[Mommabee6]

Vanessa, this one of my favorite Mariah songs and you did a really good job...I would love to hear you do YOU and not try to imitate Mariah...We've already got her...I'm looking for the next great one and you've got the chops but you've got to have your own twist. I'm just saying...(Btw, i just subscribed...I hope to hear more from you.) Did you try out for Amer Idol? You would've been a great addition...

[myconexion]

PUEDO ENSEÑARTE A HACER LOS WHISTLES SI QUIERES SE LA TECNICA ES LO UNICO QUE TE FALTA SOS UNA GENIA ¡¡

[mikescorpio1108]

8 people wishes they could sing like @TheVanessaCruz

[Nohemy89]

Vanessa, YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VOICE!! <3 IT.

[TheVanessaCruz]

@Nohemy89 thanks hun

[etanielyehuda]

Ok. This is the first YouTube rendition that I have heard that the person had a good singing voice. I give you a 'B' for effort. As you know, this is a difficult song to sing (as with all of MC's songs). My biggest concern for you is that you are pushing your vocal chords to its limits throughout most of the song. I think it is would be a stronger performance if you sing it one key lower

[TheVanessaCruz]

@etanielyehuda i totally get what you're saying. after i was done i felt it in my throat. It has to do with the fact that I was sitting down and wasn't properly breathing. Check out some of my other videos like "If Its Over" and they sound better b/c i'm standing and breathing better.

[Ipoditouch]

@etanielyehuda Come on! Let's be serious.. MC give 110% every song she sings. When you sing MC song you have to push the chords to the limit. Vanessa you have an amazing voice. Your lows and highs in this particular song is phenomenal. This sounds non rehearsed, non edited. God has truly blessed you with a wonderful gift.

[TheVanessaCruz]

@Ipoditouch thank you. you're right. this was non rehearsed and non edited.

[BabyLamb01]

girl u deserve acknowlegdmente i'm telling you hehe you're a true talent *-* btw the hairs on my neck stood up at 1:32 to 1:34 that was kind sexy :)

[TheVanessaCruz]

omg this video hit 2000 views! thats awesome. thank you so much.

[chachirachi]

Yess a full cover of "Outside" would be amazing

[TheVanessaCruz]

@chachirachi <3

[myownworld777]

Amazing, for some reason I thought I subscribed the other day to you...but youtube glitch? idk, but I subscribed twice lol unless youtube glitched again....but this was amazing! I can't believe you don't have more subscribers, seriously, because you're incredibly talented.

[TheVanessaCruz]

@myownworld777 omg thank you!!! xoxoxo

[RobertJohn1993]

Your voice REALLY suits this song. You were right, though, you were a bit off-key at the end (and one note during the bridge), but it happens to the best of us. You're seriously AMAZING. I can't believe you got rejected by 'American Idol'. You're better than 99.9 percent of the contestants they actually put through,

[teckiemom]

You two are a riot!!! Keep doing what you're doing & above all else keep having FUN! Love ya! (P.S. Yes, you DO have chops!)

[DreamloverLambi]

lol i love how sing the fading out parts at the end only true lambs know that most people dont even know lol

[heathertraska]

why in the world wouldnt you? its freaking awesome!!!!!! people get to see the real you, your personality :) its lovely! 

[DreamloverLambi]

LOVE YOUR VOICE ON THIS 1 :)

[PeralesRafael]

Excellent as always!

[TheVanessaCruz]

@PeralesRafael thank you so much

[GRANDEFLIPPER]

'I Still (can't) Believe' that AI didn't pick you up!! They need to get people more qualified to sit in on those auditions cuz I hate seeing talent like this slip through the cracks! You're one of the best Mariah cover artists on youtube and not many people are as good as you are.

[TheVanessaCruz]

@GRANDEFLIPPER you are so sweet. thanks. I auditioned today for Idol via their new online audition process! I hope they consider me this time!!!!

[ChrisDuxbury1]

Damn, even when you go off key, you're amazing. LOL. So far, you're my favorite subscription, girl.

[TheVanessaCruz]

@ChrisDuxbury1 LMAO. thanks so much.

[tarolegs]

@TheVanessaCruz lmfao that is some sideways shade if i ever seen it LMFAO shade shade shade....
