  • Oh dear ... Your voice it's magic, Congratulations, From México...

  • why arent you on am idol!!!!!

    

  • brilliant! you would make a fantastic eponine. what kind of mic are you using?

  • Your parents werents were right .. the song sucks .. Your voice is like a dream though !!

    can I put a request ? Abba - the winner takes it all ??

  • I used to sing this song too. I was taught in my music school. However, I can't sing it any more, not since my first love's feeling towards me are no longer the same. I end up bursting into tears every time I try to sing this. I don't know why people talk wonders about love. Love is about pain and unbearable heart ache. That's what I feel every time I strive to sing this.

  • you have a great voice! but, be honest you we're still feeling hard when your singing this song? don't you ?!!!

  • you're incredible and i really hope that you continue as your career just to prove that actual talent can come from youtube and not just pop stars

  • The screeching dying hampster died and you were born :) xXx

  • Wow! You have an amazing voice!

  • Girl, I don't know if you like Glee, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED OUT FOR THE SHOW! :DDDD

  • Wow. I love this song so much but i too sound terrible on the high notes :b .. You have an amazing voice and this just gave me so much inspiration to work that much harder and hopefully someday ill be able to sing it as beautifully as you did.

    Keep it up!! i hope you make it big someday! ♥

  • If I were a judge for Idols, I would give you a 10! Keep on singing please

  • YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!

  • you are not only beautiful, but your voice is haunting me...

  • That is amazing ur sooo good :) !

  • i'm in 7th grade right now and i'm doing this song as my solo and ensumble contest and u sound fantastic!!! :D

  • Comment removed

  • .love your voice you can sing theres no dout about that some day i am going to record my cd as i write songs why dont you do a cd i wood buy it and i no other people that wood to good luck m

  • You have a very good singing voice, but I don't think that it is suited for this song. This is a very big belter song, and I don't think you have a belter voice. That is probably why it was so hard to learn this song. I want to point out again that you do have a very beautiful voice, I just don't think it is suited for belting.

  • Wow! Simply amazing! I think you could've belted out that last not but its your decision on how you want to approach the song. But that was incredible I am so glad I got to hear it. I am also an aspiring artist and will be putting up videos soon and would love to get your comments on them. =)

  • please make a cd

  • Jackie, why is this song so difficult for you???? I just listened to you do "Here we Are" and I wanted to marry you every time you hit a low note (Gloria is a nice first alto) and I also listened to you do "Danny Boy" and hit much higher notes than you do in "On My Own" and you knocked it out of the park. You've got a great four octave range. On the high and low notes, let it happen, even if it's a double forte, and on your mid-range, make it happen (i.e., don't get lazy, don't coast).

  • Omg your voice is so beautiful x_x i wish i sounded as good as you but im as young as you said when you were horrible at it xD well hopefully i can hit those notes too xD well, your doing fantastic i have no doubt that you have a singing career or going to have one :3

  • I love you Jacknife!!!

  • have you ever tried castle on a cloud? that would suit you

  • ohhhhhh God, you brought tears to my eyes... such a beautiful story about persisting in what you believe... 5 years uh? it paid back.. congratulations, your made it,

    you deserve an standing ovation :)

  • You would make an amazing Eponine :o)

  • definitely broadway material

  • iv seen it for 2 years and never get tired of her... a little bit creepy but true jaja

  • you so good:)

  • Isn't it funny how far you can come as a singer? For instance, I know i was probably tone deaf years ago but then you pick up an old song you use to love and try and sing it now and realize you can ACTUALLY sing it now. LOL I'm still progressing myself. I give you props!!! Great Vocals. I posted this song earlier today and i know there are some parts i can't hit. but i thought i'd post it anyway! You have an amazing voice! I love listening to your stuff!

  • I did this for my school talent show in 8th grade!

  • Wtf you are freaking awesome!! lol I dont care what anyone says, you do not over dramatize, you actually have a personality. When you were talking you almost reminder me of Kristen Stewart, in a good way :)

  • Bewitched me once more ;)

  • I'm gonna do it anywayyy... xD

    You have an amazing voice :D

    Once Upon A December, When She Loved Me, and Part of Your World are my favorite Disney songs. Well... Anastasia's not Disney... I don't care I still love it. And your versions were wayyy better than the original. I never thought I'd see someone as amazing as Jodi Benson. (:

  • Wow! You are really good! I love your voice, it's amazing.. And I just wanted to say that you're really inspiring :) You've spent so much time on learning to sing this song and it's wonderful!

  • Beautiful, fabulous, and thank you for sharing something beautiful with us.

  • Very nice voice hope you have success if you ever decide to professionally

  • Great. You are very talented. Hope you can sign professionally.

  • You're great, awesome, amazing!!

    <3

  • Sing I will always love you plz

  • Oh... oooh... ugh... you forgot the intro to the song. It goes... : And now I'm all alone again Nowhere to turn, no one to go to. Without a home, without a friend without a face to say hello to But now the night is near And I can make-believe he's here Sometimes I walk alone at night When everybody else is sleeping I think of him and then I'm happy With the company I'm keeping The city goes to bed And I can live inside my head
  • All that practising was definately worth it. This is AMAZING!!! how can your family not like this song? You hit the high notes perfectly =D xx

  • Extraordinary! I hope I can do that someday, wow! You're an actress, too. That's a big plus :)

  • Beautifully done!

  • You hit every note beautifully. Gorgeous song, made more lovely by your voice.

  • i do like your songs, but my sister is a singer and she sang this song at 16 a lot better

  • @gjmgjmgeo your a dick

  • y so much echo?

  • Great job! I am not familiar with the song. But I can hear how the high notes could give you some trouble. Great job! You flexed through it and really supported that note, and kept your throat nice and relaxed at the same time! I bet you went through a lot of ouchy tightness in the throat while you were still learning though! It sounds like one of those songs!

  • Glad you keep it up!!! hope you dont get punched in the mouth!

    -Paige

  • You "love him"... and we love YOU, Jackie! :)

  • This is absolutely amazing. SO much better than any other version I've heard.

  • You sing Great! You must try out for American Idol! Good luck in whatever you choose to do...I know you will go far!

  • Jackie, I would like to ask you a favour. There's a BEAUTIFUL song, which I think is your style. It's quite a difficult song, I guess, but it could be a challenge for you, and if you do it well, it would be AMAZING. I listened to this song the other day, and I think it would go PERFECTLY with your voice. It's called "The first time I ever saw your face".

  • I love she......... You're beautiful baby!

  • IMPRESSIVE. Just IMPRESSIVE. Not only you KNOW how to use your voice, but also... it's the most beautiful voice I've ever listened to.

  • I have only listened to a couple of your songs, so far. Please tell me that you are in the singing business. You would be great as a voice in a Disney Show besides winning America's got talent or some other thing. Your family should be proud of you. Please go for it, if you are not already.

  • Comment removed

  • omg I actually got watery eyes, you sang this so well it brought back some fun memories from the school production of this, we were all sad after the 3 days and nights of performances, FAVOURITES!

  • I love that song too :)

  • Le Miserables is one of the best plays ever...I don't blame you from trying to get this song right...it's gorgeous. Good job <3

  • Hi from the UK - never mind American Idol; you should try auditioning for Broadway. You have a perfect voice for the stage.

  • wow wow wow wow wow woweee

  • Man --- thats powerful ---- you did that great --- nice job you keep at kid someone will get you a contract !!!

  • hampster?

  • definetly one of the best covers of this song i've ever heard :D you are absolutely awesome ^^

  • omg PLEASE go on american idol!!! I would listen to your voice any day!!!!!! You really should persue this talent!!

  • beautiful! just wish those higher notes had been belted, but I understand if it is out of your belt range.

  • Had to listen to you sing a musical song after hearing a Disney. I assure you, you didn't sound like a screeching dying hamster! LOL Yes, it's a very difficult song to sing. I've done it a few times in gigs, along with 'I Dreamed A Dream'.

    Penny xx

    PS: You are TOO good for The X Factor! You have an amazingly powerful voice!

  • OMG OMG you are amazing bbe well done i hope you go far from LJ : lauren xxx

  • You sound professional. Great job.

  • I fail to see how you ever sounded wretched singing this. Your voice more than capable. This is also, one of my favorite songs. It has real depth of emotion and goes from soft to loud. Great job.

  • you should go on american idol or americas got talent, this is the sort of stuff that could make you famous, you could really get a good career from your singing oh and please visit wolfchicgalpal - that be me- and give me some feed back on my own singing

  • You are amazing and I loved hearing how long you've been working on this song because my singing teacher has been making me work on it for 10 weeks and I don't seem to be getting anywhere! Good to know eventually that might change and that isn't so crazy long as I thought!!

  • My boyfriend left me last week and I have been devastated all this week, it seems like I'll never be able to move on, this song made me cry, thankyou, its good to let it out, you sing with such emotion...

  • Thank you for posting this; it was absolutely amazing. You are very talented; keeping sharing please...

  • I was in Les Mis, at Pensacola Little theater abuot 5 years ago, and i have always loved this song, (:

  • omg you are amazinggggg :):):)

  • That was simply incredible.

  • Oh My Gosh! Beautiful!!!! I just adore your voice and you sing perfectly!! its so beautiful! I hope when I get older i can sing as awesome as that! ^^ <3

  • I found this video like a year ago and it still amazes me. It's the best version of this song I've ever heard.

  • I wish you would have belted the C ("happiness that I have never known") but I can understand why you didn't.

  • Flawless. Really, you have some serious talent.

    Keep up the great work :)

  • awesome! :D xD you made me laugh before the song

  • u are very good!

  • OH! MY! GOODNESS!!! Your voice gives me chills. I adore this song, and you made it better, which I couldn't have thought possible. Keep singing!!

  • INGREDDIBLE!!!!! hahaha, oh, by the way, i love your eye make up, wot are u wearing????? ... =D

  • your voice is magnificent..

  • your voice is epic.

    i've seriously listened to you sing this song like 20 times.

    amazing.

  • you're beautiful with thick makeup. i try to wear the same thing and people tell me they don't like it, just because they're not used to it on me. i think it looks beautiful on any girl, they choose to wear it and people should accept it.

    besides the point, you are wonderful at singing. you have a clearly exceptional voice and you should move on with your talent to a higher career, if you choose, because you could get easily noticed, not everyone can sing that beautiful. <3xo

  • are you an alto 1 or soprano 2? because you have the power of an alto but the range of a soprano and i can't tell... i'm a chorus geek :)

  • Beautiful, excellent introduction to it. You got me listen to the high note really,) If tube-comments are to be useful things must be said. The only thing I would alter in this high note is the vowel only been pretend-ea- ng to more pretend-i-ng. I might get bashed for my point of view but I'm gonna say it anyway. Performance is just as classy as professional musicals. I would feel no hesitation putting you in the musical female leading-role in films and musical with full confidence.

    *****

  • Your work has certainly paid off because that was exceptional and flawless!

    so beautiful!

  • i love this song and your video's. any new one's coming out soon?

  • fantastic! :)

  • waw!! u just blow me away!!1 u rock girl!!

  • i love this song, and you are amazing at singing it! well done!

  • Oh my god, that's amazing! (I'm in 8th grade right now actually and was feeling like such a failure for not hitting those high notes in this song xD I hope I can eventually work this up as well as you did)

  • OMG! this is the first time I've ever heard this song it's beautiful!!!!!!!! You hit those high notes perfectly! *hugs* You're amazing! Go to Broadway someday!

  • Do you do any more from Les Miserables? Its one of my favourite musicals and your voice is amazing.

  • absolutely amazing I could listen to you sing all day lol

  • This song always makes me cry... :( My life sucks.

    Anyways, great performance. Keep it up.

  • Your voice is powerful and beautiful, you may have had difficulty with this song in the past but you nailed it on this video pretty lady. 5***** and more + favorite.

  • this is one of my fan musical songs and you sang it beautifully

  • Your beautiful angelic voice sends chills down my back.

  • I think you have a beautiful voice. Please continue singing! =]

  • i say u r the strong version of lea salonga... u lack the angelic tone of lea though. but of course, there's only one lea.... still, u did a nice job!

  • Meh...Lea is a good singer but Jackie has a more controlled tone and sings in a different alto range. She doesnt get so shrilly in her higher notes which is what this songs needs. I like lea's voice a lot and shes very talented but to me Jackie just has something more than her, its just too bad she hasnt been found like Lea was....

  • Hi Jackie

    Anything new on the horizon? Just love your voice.

  • what a voice and a BABE AS WELL

  • Incredible! Very inspiring; beautiful voice. =)

  • all I can say is...... WOW... I would love to hear more...

  • Thank you so much because before your video, I don't know this song, now it is my favourite song. Besides, I thought you sing this sing very good.

  • You make it look so effortless...and you make your audience feel you are singing just for them!

    Don't care if your family hates this song...you bring it to life!

  • Jackie - what do you mean by 'head voice'?

  • Wow....not bad at all. I think you might have some room to belt in your chest voices. It's be cool to hear you do some other broadway stuff. Of course, I'm (obviously) partial to Wicked but you're definately one of the better voices out here on YouTube. Good job! =)

  • I miss you, I hope you gonna sing to us soon.

  • Definitley agree with the comment below me, look up Celtic Woman, I think you may enjoy some of the songs they typically preform. Do you have any plans of where your vocals are going to take you? I think you can sacrifice humbleness for once to let us know how well your doing?!

    On a side note, how long have you been having lessons? Do you just sing in a choir, or do get actual lessons?

  • It's almost hard to sing On My Own without getting passionate, lol. I know, I was in Les Mis once, and I almost couldn't listen to our Eponine sing it without crying, It is a seriously great song. I see why you put so much dedication into learning it. Song is definitely worthy of its rewards. You do have a beautiful voice. Italian arias are great. You'd sound great with a French song. Also, look up Celtic Women. They are great and a lot of the songs would suit your voice quality. Thanks:)

    Kathie

  • This is fantastic, you brought a tear to my eye, why are you not selign records, i would buy them xx

  • You are so lucky to have such a fantastic voice! I love the passion and emotion you put into your songs; it all seems so effortless! That really was beautiful. :)

  • nice

  • those notes aren't that high. just saying. i'm a mezzo sop. and i can reach them. just sayin! i love your voice.

  • They aren't high, you're right. Not if you're in head voice. But trying to belt it in chest voice...that's another story. Notice I switch to head voice on the higher notes. That's what I had to learn to do to make this song sound good. I always tried to stay in chest voice when I was younger and it sounded strained. The trick was learning to switch to head voice and back as seamlessly as possible. I still need to work on it.

  • Yeah, the hard part is definately trying to make it sound consistently in one voice (preferably a belt), or at least switch as seamlessly as possible like you said. It's not that their high, it's just that their right on a switch between head and chest, and you have to work up to those notes from lower ones, not just hit them. Agh! So hard. You did an AWESOME job.

  • @JiltedForeverAndEver You have a beautiful smile. Why not try too shine again?

  • i want to punch you in the mouth! no one should have all that talent!

    good job. I couldn't help but cry during this performance.

  • you re an angel you re so brilliant . excellent voice with personality and passion thanks maybe someday you could record the song called hear you me by jimmy eat wood, excuse my english is so poor cause im from Peru in south america thanks ; )

  • You sing this beautifully....eugh..*hides from lame version of skinging*

  • LMAO @ "Im gonna do it anyway" :)

  • Bravo.

    Ever since the first time I saw the 10th anniversary concert, I have loved that song.

    Very well done.

  • Wow..I was amazed by your voice. I know you are a great singer because you sing with your heart on it. And you know what? Ironically,I watch this video for almost a hundred times.And I don't know why..I salute you!!

  • I guess working on it for that long really pays off. You were brilliant. Coming from a Soprano who can sing into the sixth octave, this song is no walk in the park. Why? Because it doesn't matter how high you can sing, but how much you can control it when you are emotionally belting the notes and all their meaning. This song is difficult because you are consumed by it's meassage. Great job!

  • Wonderful! What a voice!!

  • GAH! how do you not have some sort of recording deal by now? Or on the flip side of that, do you do musical theater productions atleast or are you already part of any troupe?

  • I love this song and I _LOVE_ your voice. Never stop singing!

    - Girl from Finland.

  • WOW! I saw Les Miserables in '99 on a choir trip to NYC and I don't remember it sounding that good! Bravo, and keep up the amazing work

  • Omg. You can really sing.

  • I love the way you sing this song! but can you please tell me who sings it originally? thank you very much!

  • its from the muisical les miserables, i am currently trying to sing it :]

  • thanks for answering. Yes, I know it's from les miserables, but I was trying to find out who the singer is, because I'm trying to find and mp3, but I can't... thanks:)

  • I think it's Lea Salonga.

  • thank you very very much!

  • dying hamster..lol i dout that

  • Get the hell over to broadway girl!

  • Your voice is flawless! I got goosebumps!

  • Ohhh Emmmm Geeeee!!!!!!!!Your AMAZING!!!!!!so good!
