[cristinababos]

amazing!!! breathtaking! i think this is the best version of Only hope out there.

[kelotz07]

you are my idol. I also have my version on facebook but after seeing this I didn't consider any talent to myself compared to you. I want to write a paper about your life. If any producer of films could hear the story of your life I'm pretty sure they'd be touched and would make a movie about you :)

[CyBreNos]

amazing! ...

[xKJx25]

i feel talentless now LOL i play the piano but wow... ur so amazing... i hope those other kids that have the same disability like you would hear your story. u would very much inspire them :)

[chriscerna808]

Hi  thank you so much for your comments. I'm glad you like my music. Take care and God bless.

Chris

[lehuaflower57]

Hey Chris! You are so amazing and definitely use the gift that God gave you! Every time I see you at Ala Moana, filling the store with your music or at UH when I went there a few years ago, or even reading your story, I cry! I took piano for 7 years and love to sing so music is such a huge part of my life as I know it is for you. I bought your CD and see that you not only use your talent to entertain others but you help so many through your heart! You are simply amazing inside and out!

[chriscerna808]

Hi There, thanks for the comment. Sorry but I don't have any music sheet for this song since I play by ear. Thanks again and God bless.

Chris

[phyllislai123]

can you provide the music sheet?The song is really awesome!

[chriscerna808]

Hi , yes I have recorded this song. I have it on one of my albums titled Musical Oddysey I'm glad you like it. Let me know if you are interested in the cd. Thanks again.

Chris

[heels23fan]

Oh yeah I might be interested in a Cd. I also was curious however if you put this song is available on sheet music? I also play piano, though I'm not near as gifted as you. Did you make sheet music for this song? Thank You, and also tell me some information about the CD.

[heels23fan]

Wow that's amazing! I was curious though, is this music for sale? Because that song was beautiful, I'm not sure if you ever recorded it and put on a sheet music and put it for sale. Did you?

[chriscerna808]

Thank you very much for the wonderful comments. God bless and happy new year.

Chris

You.Are.Amazing.

I'm legally blind and unless I get surgery when my eyes slow down their damage I will be fully blind by the time I'm in my mid-20's. You have brought hope into my life, and now I feel that I am less scared about the whole situation.

[chriscerna808]

Hi, thanks for your comment. God bless.

Chris

[jesusfreakable]

[chriscerna808]

Hey folks, just wanted to say thank you all for all your comments. I am very humbled. I also want to apologize for taking a long time to reply. I guess i was a little slow in learning to get around Youtube but now that is no longer the case. I will be checking more often and will not take months to reply. Thanks again and God bless.

Chris

[freegliter]

[robeezy789]

[AmericanIdolQueen84]

I love this song it's so beautiful and I love your rendition of it :) so amazing

[littlegal25]

it's amazing!!!

[homer30]

I'm so curious how does he learn to play this? Obviously Music Sheet is nonsense here. I guess he listens to the song and just remembers the melody in his mind and just play it? I'm blown away with his gift in music. Simply amazing!

[ohhsuchabetty]

this gives me chills every time i watch it.

[halfangelhalfme]

Hey Chris, it's Yana. Remember me? LOL. Great to see you on YouTube (: Love this version by the way! Do you think you could put some original stuff on here? Oooh or how bout Looking Through They eyes of Love. I really love your rendition of that one!

[chriscerna808]

Hey Yana, thanks for the comment. sorry I just got to it, I was a little slow in learning how to get around Youtube. Anyhow, I will be checking more often so I won't take months. Take care and stay in touch.

Chris

[fatryana]

beautiful melody..

[xxredflowerxx]

sounds very beautiful how it's played! Good job!

[KawaiiRakun]

i love this song !! and this is the best piano version I've heard ! keep up the good work [:

[toto473]

it's very nice, I'd like play like this^^

[mvar22]

that was amazing!

[nonay10]

I've also recorded myself playing Only Hope on youtube, but this is the best piano version of this song that I've ever heard and it sounds incredible. I love your playing, and your remarkable talent is a huge inspiration.

[avb20540]

naku! talagang maganda ito! I play this too but this one is much more powerful and much more difficult. How did you learn this one?

[chriscerna808]

Hi there thank you very much for your comments. I'm sorry for taking a long time to reply. I just learned how to get around Youtube so now I will be checking more often. As for this version of Only Hope, I actually put it together myself after listening to the original and listening to other people's version. I try to really let the melody sing out the way Mandy Moore sang it. Thanks again and keep playing piano.

Chris
