[oogilygumballs]

GOOO MERITIMES

[priyankaambaskar1999]

she soung fantastic...i never get tired hearing the same music....<3 <3 <3 it...

[BuccaneerBubbles]

I love being a Bluenose...

Even more,

I love being a Caper :D

[MrMonky04]

Listen to this makes me, a brazilian guy, although that's just for a while, want to be a citizen from Cape Breton. It's very moving. Her voice is sweetest I've ever heard!

[hoapiano]

I'm from Vietnam, but I love your hometown, Cape Breton, because of this song. great song! and thanks her, great singer!

[Iwasateeninthe80s]

Like many Maritimers, Cape Bret'ners know who they are. Many other Canadians do not know who they themselves are. If only people in BC had such spirit and unity. But BC is still a frontier and will be for another 100 years to catch up with NS.

[somegalfromcan]

@Iwasateeninthe80s British Columbians know who we are - we simply don't have the musical history to back it up. It's starting to come though with the help of groups like Spirit of the West. A century from now, however, Cape Breton and the rest of the east coast will still be lightyears ahead of us.

[7janec]

unreal how old is she? :O

[camplikeueng]

@MKDSzebra thx for responding, i figured out that she's from glace bay which is located at cape breton island which is located in Nova Scotia province..

[camplikeueng]

just heard about her yesterday and she amazes me at once...

this song's truly amazing, she's so cute, and the audience seems to love her so much. I'm wondering if she is from Cape Breton..?

[MKDSzebra3]

@camplikeueng I think she has family there, but she's from Nova Scotia

[claytonosmond25]

@camplikeueng Cape Breton is in Nova Scotia and she's from Glace Bay

[claytonosmond25]

@camplikeueng She's from Cape Breton its in Nova Scotia, Glace Bay to be exact!

[claytonosmond25]

@camplikeueng She's from Cape Breton its in Nova Scotia, Glace Bay to be exact!

[TheOhandley]

This made me miss home

[Moviegirl41]

Just got back from this beautiful Island and I can say without a doubt that I wish I had the priviledge to call myself a Caper! Truly a beautiful place and beautiful people!

[AG2Elizabeths]

Some of my family is from Cape Breton...but I guess for some of them "the cities of America draw me away." I'd love to go to Cape Breton instead! :D <3 Beautiful song, I've been an Azi fan from the beginning.

[bbfc8]

[JaneAustenGirl2]

Once A Caper, Always A Caper!!!! Were the only people in the world that go Down North:D

[pcpreacher]

I love her voice, she is so talented. more than I can say.

[chakazoo]

Je suis acadien et j'aime beaucoup cette chanson, On vois qu'il y a beaucoup d'émotions.

Bravo Miss Aslin, you have a very nice voice..

Thanks to sharing this video.

[1971pietro]

...delicious......

[yaltroz]

It's great videos like this that make me think that I am a caper that was just born in the wrong place. Great job both singing and making the video

[JjEeNnAalove]

are you her???? I have been the biggest fan for my whole life!! I loveeeeee my home here in nova scotia!

[misscapebreton]

Love to listen to this song...reminds me of how beatiful my home here in cape breton is!!!

[oniakuma100]

Listening to this makes me proud to be a Caper. The home of our hearts.

[babes1232]

MEE TOO :D

[henry707]

@oniakuma100 - Whats a Caper? Forgive me I've from UK.

She has brilliant - thats for sure....

[oniakuma100]

@henry707 A Caper is a person from Cape Breton Island, well that's what we call ourselves or Islanders. People from the mainland of Nova Scotia are refered to as Mainlanders.

[rtogurl]

@henry707 Hi Henry. It is just a short version or a nick name for Cape Bretoners from Cape Breton....located in Nova Scotia, Canada. Hope that helps:)

[TheGrouchski]

To speak as rudely as you do about a 9 year old girl who some say prevented a riot during a strike by miners in her home town by singing this song, says more about you than about her. Sing on Aselin. I, for one, look forward to hearing from you again.

[TheGrouchski]

While the singers that are shown on your "Amazing Child Singers" videos are fabulous, I think you do them a great disservice by singing their praises while posting such negative comments about others. Miss Debison represents to many of us the pure sweet voice of one who sings from her soul. Music , like art, is often subjective. "I don't know much about music, but I know what I like."

[marinasvoice]

this makes me very happy to be Nova Scotian :) <3

[daninagiselle]

the island.. it speaks so much of how patriotic and nationalistic nova scotia pipol are. the first time i heard this song from aselin, i thought this is their national anthem

[rjspear]

I do miss Nova Scotia and its people.

[rainshine88]

this song makes me cry :P i want to move to NS lol

[rjspear]

I hope and wish she would get back to singing. I love her distinctive voice.

[Crusadist1099]

Maybe after she takes off some weight .

[AcadianGunner]

absolutely beautiful singing, every time i hear her music it brings tears to my eyes,

[Sucker4romance2]

this gives me goosebumps and makes me want to live there!

[kanecalloway]

Happy Birthday Aselin Debison

[JohnScarecrow]

does anyone know where I might get the sheet music? I would really like to learn how to play this on de piano!

[blubliblue]

Totally touching and sweet!

Bravo Aselin!

[cremenaros1]

Bravo for pianist and...

[ickwickensick]

whos that guy in the red jacket that comes in after?

[earthenly]

The guy in the red jacket is Bruce Guthro. I am uncertain of the spelling of his last name.

[ickwickensick]

thank you..... google can help me with the last name lol

[Segorean]

Bruce Guthro is a fantastic talent as a singer and songwritter, he has a solo career and a brill career with Runrig, a Celtic rock band from Scotland. He has a fantastic distinctive voice. :-)

[Segorean]

lol, this was supposed to go as an answer for ickwickensick's question... :-)

[ickwickensick]

I was leading the scorer with 80GP 90G 60A and have scored in every game. She shows up and I am held pointless... she doesnt show up next game I get a 10 point game... she shows up next game I am held pointless. The next game I manage 3 goals.

[GeorgiosMICHALAKIS]

Hats off!

The girls has TRADITION and STYLE.

Furthermore, the song is of everyday relevance and makes me want to shout : God keep our land, glorious and free, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

[jopie145]

Aselin is one of my favourite singers and I love Nova Scotia about as much as she does! Her emotion tells you that she is proud of where she comes from and I don't blame her. It's wonderful there! It's something to be proud of.

I think it's wonderful to be proud of where you come from. It's pride in ourselves that can help preserve old traditions and history.
