[yankeedoodlecajun]

My brother heard you from across the room, and I asked how old he thought you were. He guessed 40. THAT'S how you know you have a gift!

[TheAnastasiaLee]

@yankeedoodlecajun You made me smile ! :) Thank You Very Much !

What I have witnessed here is nothing short of pure magic.

[Shoreseeker2]

Anastasia I hope the best for you---also you might be able to see any of these on YouTube, they are all excellent, Anna Moffo, Renata Tebaldi, Pilar Lorengar, Joan Sutherland, Leontyne Price, Rene Fleming,----if you can watach a video of them singing notice there posture and body movement--notice there hand movements. Keep up the good work talk with you again.

[Shoreseeker2]

Anastasia, I hope you recieved fmy other comment but maybe not so her eitis again. 1. Make your hand movements very slowly and not frequent . 2. don't sing to teh Microphone, pretend it is not thereand sing to teh audience even if ther isn't one there in front of you. 3. Try to sing all teh pahrase as if they are one seamless continuing phrase, 'LEGATO", 4. Make your transitions from low soft notes to high notes smoothly withoutt a break. 5. Listen to Victoria De Los Angeles sing this aria.

[TheAnastasiaLee]

@Shoreseeker2 Thank You ! I will listen to her and do as you say.

Victoriasingstoyou recommended you to me. What a great talent that you have!!!! I am a 16 year old classical singer too. How amazing that you sang with Josh Groban!!1

Hello Anastasia, well belated Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you. We have chatted before. Very nice job, your voice is coming along nicely, in this aria try to be more legato---connect the phrases. Listen to Victoria De LosAngeles, Renata Tebaldi, Renee Fleming, singing this aria you will hear their legato (phases connected and where they take breaths). But very nice, keep it up.

[TheAnastasiaLee]

@Shoreseeker2 Thank You, and I will try to emulate what you say. I am re-recording this song soon and I would very much appreciate any more tips you may have.

Again Thank You !

~Anastasia Lee~

[everlastinglove714]

OH GODD UR SO GOODDD I JUST ADORE UR VOICEE HOPE ALL UR DREAMS COME ALIVE IN 2012 :))))

[Izola69721]

the thing i like about your singing is that you maintain good volume throughout your vocal range (which is extreme); unlike another popular little girl all over youtube who will remain unnamed. :)

[TheAnastasiaLee]

@kittenlover159 Thank you ! How old is your daughter? You should post videos of her ! I would love to see her !

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year & Thank You !

Beautiful voice! Wishing you the best and lot's of success! :)

Cheers from Brazil!

[evaheartsmakeup]

this is absolutely awful!

[alooobre]

Wow!

[john84753]

she's really honed her skills since i first saw her on youtube and i can now say she sounds absolutely beautiful.

[lilsaprano123]

Well done good control and beautiful sound.

[invisiblespandex]

Very very good that is! Geep going. Tough tough it is I can't imagine. Don't stress yourself, give the body its timeto follow you... time is on your side at 14. Very well done.

[TheSquelzy]

holy wow you sound older than 14....

[TheAnastasiaLee]

@TheSquelzy Thank You Very Much!

~Anastasia Lee~

[jthameschoir08]

Wow Very round sound! It sounds so pretty. Have your instructors said anything about your voice maturing too early? I want to be able to sing like this and I feel that I have the potential but my teachers don't want to push my voice too fast. Any suggestions?

[Azariah63]

Absolutely beautiful!! I hope you get all the help you need to make this your career if that is your desire. Lovely, lovely voice.

[jesus78396]

Beautiful little girl...wish you the best!

[daroni1000]

Just two words. Absolute perfection.

[jennyJayify]

I started out listening more out of curiosity and without expecting much as most child singers show little. I was completely taken by surprise. I hope we see you on AGT sometime in the near future. It was a pleasure listening to you.

[admiralboom1]

Dude. What? Wow.

[leftysergeant]

I am absolutely blown away hearing such a mature voice coming from the mouth of such a young artist.

The only (very slight) problem I have is visual. Are you sure your hand movements are not just a little bit distracting?

[TheAnastasiaLee]

@leftysergeant Yes I am sure they are distracting. This was a few months ago, and I know have my 'choreography' sorted out. I was very nervous when recording, and I still am!

Thank You!

Anya

[leftysergeant]

@TheAnastasiaLee One of the great things about video recording is that it allows us to see ourselves in a normal perspective. There are things I do that I thought I did right until I saw myself on video. Ouch! As for the nerves, that should get better. Just remind yourself that you have already been through what could have been your most embarrassing moments and are really none the worse for it.

[TheAnastasiaLee]

Sorry, I mean I NOW have my 'choreography' sorted out.

Thanks!

Anya

[MrStablelad]

Just amazing,

You are going to be a World Star Anastasia & That is for Sure.

[nandi12341]

Good job we da same age u should do a duet with Jackie Evancho

[rodney1238]

don't cross over to pop say with-in your arena which is opera because you project it very well I love andy williams as much as you but to be honest Anastasia I think you will be a knockout singing opera

[buffgrl27]

Beautiful! You are an angel...keep the sweetness, never let it go. I feel so blessed. :0)

[E1M9I4L6IO]

An angelic singing, but really, your voice captivates us immediately gets inside us, a little more sense of harmony and kindness through our bodies, when it reaches our hearts, we feel an inner peace, difficult to explain with words, my young Anastasia sensible, after learning about your love and affection for horses, I begin to understand your sensitivity and your amazing voice, because this is Excellence.

[E1M9I4L6IO]

Un canto angelical, pero real, tu voz nos cautiva, inmediatamente se introduce dentro de nosotros, poco mas una sensación de armonia y ternura recorre nuestro cuerpo, cuando alcanza nuestro corazón, sentimos una paz interior, dificil de explicar con palabras, mi joven y sensible Anastasia, despues de enterarme por tu cariño y ternura por los caballos, comienzo a comprender, tu sensibilidad y tu impresionante voz, pues esta es de Excelencia.

[tino14200]

Bonjour de France , tu chante vraiment bien ...

[IloveMagII]

You are quite fantastic..... I see you did a duet with Josh Groban in Green Bay... that was fantastic also. Best of luck to you in your career in the future.

[Astronaut14]

Anastasia, "O Mio Babbino Caro (Oh my dear father)," is one of may all time favourite songs and you have sang it perfectly and with great feeling...tthank you. 5*****

[vonFalkenstein77]

@TheAnastasiaLee

Have you sung "Chi il bel sogno di Doretta" from La Rondine yet? I´m sure your voice would just be perfect for that aria too..

[movebyleap]

Once again a stunning performance! We're in awe of your talent!
