Mariah Carey - Butterfly (cover by Vanessa Cruz) Lamb Appreciation Day!

[realmclennyd]

wow you have such an amazing voice that I know that you will make a wonderful superstar some day

[Number1MariahCarey]

Hey check out my video of Do i sound like christina aguilera?

Thanks

[rhythmoftheoceann]

Wow!!! Very Good :))

[IrinaSilchina]

It is really very-very beautiful!

[MistyMieMe]

I loved it! I want to do a cover of this song but not sure if I should use the backing for it or not. Any advice on how to calm the nerves so that the high notes actually hit without running out of breath? (that seems to be my big issue since I'm overly shy!) Thanks and beautiful job! <3 Misty

[TheVanessaCruz]

@MistyMieMe for me, high notes are about proper breathing. Make sure you're breathing using your diaphragm. THat way you support the low and high notes. Nerves are hard to get over....you have to be comfortable.

[MistyMieMe]

@TheVanessaCruz thanks :)

[Toojuicyforu411]

Check out my video plz its short but i would like some feedbck plz!!

[kamal6991]

very nice i love it, you nailed most of her riffs, some are a tiny bit off, but its okay =]

[ColorMyWorld0306]

You sound amazing, what video editing program do you use on your videos, they looked fabulous! ;)

[TheVanessaCruz]

@ColorMyWorld0306 final cut pro x

[molic87]

You are absolutely beautiful and Your voice is so pure and raw.

[TheVanessaCruz]

@molic87 thank you <3

[sundaee84]

How about "Closer", by Corinne Bailey Rae? :) I think you would sound so nice on that!

[Jewlelz74]

I give props to anyone who gives me goosebumps when I listen to my favorite songs. Mariah is a tough act to follow. I don't usually comment, but I had to give Vanessa her props!

[Gottaletemknow]

@TheVanessaCruz

I was thinking can you please please audition for the voice or idol and can you not give up!!!lol Like you NEED to be on those shows your voice is too good for you to not have some type of deal!!!!

[daintgotit]

Why not idol ill kidnap u on the auditions damn you talented

[TheVanessaCruz]

@daintgotit im too old for idol. The voice and Xfactor both said no to me but i'll keep trying.

[BigGlide]

Vanessa, I would really like to hear you sing "At Your Best" by Aaliyah

[narayanmimi]

G.R.E.A.T

[Thiezigon]

Wow. I'm one of your biggest fan already ;)

[elgonay]

Very nice! We all know Mariah is Mariah but it is a very good, personalized rendition!

[primohomme]

Very beautifully sung! your voice sounds a bit muffled but it must be because of the microphone you used to record. Overall...very very nice :) Kudos.

[DudeJuJustin]

So Mariah! Love Ya!

[dillardnurse]

Beautiful

[TaylorNardone]

[lordcoyote2000]

Beautiful! I know this isn't a song that you would normally cover but would you consider doing a take on Abba's The Winner Takes it All?

[nharding24]

[jennifermelody19]

you're amazing :)

[mj0609]

just amazing as always

[troynellsantana]

I don't give a fuck with ANYBODY says....you are the truth!!!!!...your voice is so pure and that tone is so rich!!!....I will try my best to get your name out there my damn self!!!....I know a lot of important people in the industry!!...your voice is MISSING in todays music....excuse my language I just get so passionate when I hear UNBELIEVABLE RAW TALENT!!...you are a star vanessa

[Berniewrestle]

OK how the hell don't you have a record deal? This is amazing!

[thewordthatpierces]

@Berniewrestle Because the music industry is a sham, I don't understand why ppl still believe record deals matter anymore, they don't.

[Berniewrestle]

@thewordthatpierces Well I agree when you say the business is a shame, that was the point of my comment. The most talented people don't have deals, half the people out there today are gimmick. Vanessa Cruz is honestly one of the most talented people that i have heard in a long time, she has soul. However to say a record deal does not matter is silly, it's gets their names more out there..then they already are. So we'll have to agree to disagree, and Vanessa keep doing your thing! :)

[spunkiimix]

@Berniewrestle Yes I have to agree. She tries hard all the time but she is amazingly talented and overlooked a lot.

[thewordthatpierces]

@Berniewrestle Pt. 1 Well, I'm not talking about whether or not you believe that, its a fact. The VERY reason SOPA and PIPA have been pushed as well as other bills known as ACTA and now the TPP because they KNOW the internet is A. a place to share artistic freedom, and B. it allows people to get their music out there for free or cheaply to the world and promote it at low cost as well as for ppl to stop buying the crap produced by the industry because they have more options now!

[thewordthatpierces]

@Berniewrestle Pt. 2 The other thing that people seem to forget, is its called the "record Industry" because they were there to make RECORDS. I have had the privilege to transcribe a lot of interviews from people inside the industry and many of them have stated, flat-out that nowadays, record companies are pretty much obsolete because in the old days you could not just press your own records you NEEDED a company to do it! Now you have the internet, and there is no need.

[thewordthatpierces]

@Berniewrestle Pt. 3 What ties in with that is, the one benefit the record industry provides is market saturation, but even there, there are no guarantees, a record deal does not guarantee you good promotion or exposure, in fact, unless you play by their rules, you wont get very far. The cost is too high for something that just is not necessary when now you have the tools and the means to the music out there yourself. The best music I have found in the last 6months are ppl

[thewordthatpierces]

@Berniewrestle like Vanessa or others who are not signed. I have been through a few hoops in the industry myself, and have learned that it is never worth changing your vision, ideals, morals, or anything about yourself when it comes to artistic expression for the soul purpose of pleasing other people in hopes of success, too many ppl become whores for success. Everyone has to make their own choice, and I'm not condemning anyone, just providing information. :)

[thewordthatpierces]

@Berniewrestle Pt. 5 Personally, I refuse to support an industry that promotes the suppression of freedom of speech through government, who is supposed to protect it! The bills they are trying to pass are not about piracy but suppressing freedom, hence why sites like wikipedia and google blacked out. The music industry was one of the major promoters of these bills. I am not pro piracy, but those bills are NOT the answers, and I don't support companies that support them!

[Berniewrestle]

@thewordthatpierces With that being said, I hope Vanessa gets signed and finds sucess, until that time I am going to keep listening to her amazing covers.

[purlow32]

@thewordthatpierces i agree

[venCdor]

Wooow...!! Incredible! your voice is so beautiful! And the video very well created! Congratulations! Good luck in everything! :D

[Drowshy]

wow i love it!! :D



[Duckypie06]

is it me or the video doesn't sync well with the audio.. this is dubbed right? anyway as always good job ms. thevanessacruz!

[TheVanessaCruz]

@Duckypie06 it does in some parts and not in others. i'll work on the editing.

[cjfb87]

AWESOME GOOD WORK IM TRYNA WORK ON SOME SINGLES AND SOME VIDS

[GaryYOfficial]

WTF! 6 dislikes? 3 are DEAF and their hearing aids aren't working and the other 3 were gay guys getting banged from behind leaning over their computer desk and hit dislike by accident lmao

[GaryYOfficial]

you sound great as usual! I hear more of a husky sound to your voice...it's more rich and thick. I like it! Get it girl. You did amazing. If you hadn't done such a good job I'd be saying "uh GERL...BYE! POOF!" lmao

[Dreasworld4]

[Allylovemessina]

This is a really good video, and i'm totally not complaining but it's a long video! 

[TheVanessaCruz]

@Allylovemessina lol the song is long though :D

[GaryYOfficial]

@TheVanessaCruz Some people are soooooo impatient. 4:55 is a long video? Guess they could never watch a 8 or 9 minute video....like your X Factor and American Idol audition videos lol.

[MariahFan500]

Really nice job. Not a lot of people can cover MC.

[pphantoms4lyfe]

I thought my ears weren't working right as you SO CLOSE to Mariah that it wasn't about a 1-1/2 min in before I really picking up that signature Vanessa sound! VERY few can do this song justice, YOU are one of those few! SO GLAD to see you singing again & I know so many of your fans have been hoping for this one for so long!
