Someone to Watch Over Me (Bravely...ACAPELLA)

[TarreN001]

Stunning voice.

[powndpuppy]

You have an incredible voice; the ability to take this acapella, hit a note right on & hold it without wavering is VERY impressive, along with your controlled vibrato. I can see why OP saved this link. You should be doing this professionally. One caveat though; most music is NOT improved by "oversinging" the notes. Gershwin had it right when he wrote it. I know it is popular to try and sing like J-lo but they're singing as they do because they don't have your talent. Be yourself. Skrew them.

[1allisongs]

Perfect! Beautifully done. What key is this?

[MiristWurst]

Thank you! Marvelous. You have not only guts, it came out wonderfully! Your timing was better than several of the "biggies" to be seen here.

Music is about being "moved" (isn't it?) This moved me! And many others!

[suscpay]

Just beautiful, I have went through almost all of the other versions of this song and your acapella version is really great, pure sounding. Thanks for posting

[quicoyo7]

Tienes una hermosa voz y cantas con mucho sentimiento, realmente me emociona tu versión

[tootiefruity2011]

sorry i'm late with comment (years, i see) but had to say your voice and passion is extradenary as far as i'm concerned bravo bravo always stay passionate and confident

[Josemanuelcano1]

What a lovely version! What an exquisite voice! What a beautiful and charming young lady! Thank you for sharing with us your gifts!

[anewdayproductions]

absolutely outstanding

[Kuramochi0214]

Very nice! Well done!! I heard this song first sung by young Mary Hopkin. I'm a long fan of Mary, attended her live many years ago.... Anyway your version I think rely beautiful... Tomoya from Japan

[captnnero]

Kapow lady, you've sure got it and this is going into my favorites.

[MusicBoxDancer2010]

This young lady has talent! She also has a lot of nerve.  I admire both and the fact that this is here to be viewed by anyone who wants to comment is testament to the clarity and beauty of her voice.

Never give up your dreams young lady; you have a wonderful voice!

[originalvintage]

wow...really good!

[debs19532232]

You know a person is good when you feel like the music is there when they sing. You sounded great.

[NewYorkCityStefy]

Seriously, why are you not on broadway?! :)

[GreekSuremen]

Fantastic cover! Very pretty voice. Very nice vibrato.

[Scotsman666]

Wow. Umm, yeah, wow. Pure tone, wonderful control. This song too holds a special part of my heart and you just made it that much more special. You have an extraordinary gift there lovely lady. Thank you from my heart.

[CheEly0803]

great voice!  I can compare you to Julie Andrews version, soft and lovely :)

[djmoodydad]

Kristin, this is one of my very favorite Gershwin songs and you truly nailed it! I believed you! This song is meant to be a poem and a conversation with your soul. It is one thing to sing the notes well but quite another to convince the listener that we are seeing into your soul. Very well done!

[ChristyEmanuelson]

jealousy fills me. I've had training and I'm not that good. with a good vocal coach you could end up on broadway, no joke. or without one, idk. just... well done, Kristin :)

[theresalwaysaplanb]

Thumbs up. This was pleasant to listen to. out of all the covers of this song. liked it. :)

[Purpletiff1108]

This is amazing!!! Don't ever doubt your talents, you CAN sing!

[ElizaMeryl88]

Wish I could give you more than 5 stars. I hope you realize you never need to make am excuse for your singing (pointing out that you've had no vocal training) instead you should embrace that you haven't had any and sound way better than most that have!! Your voice gives me chills and I found myself smiling the entire time you sang this. You have an amazing voice for this particular genre of music. Sorry I'm rambling on, I just can't say enough about this video!

[hunanuna101]

omg i heard the first note and im like absoloutly AWESOME!!!!

[sheller0257]

Damn. I've been cycling thru a LOT of versions of this song. I expect to be blown away by Amy Winehouse & Lynda Ronstadt & Julie Andrews ... but damn. Just added this to my favorites.  Simply wonderful.

[kristinbrooke08]

@sheller0257 thank you, thank you, a million times thank you! :)

[sheller0257]

@kristinbrooke08 To the extent I can accept thanks for speaking troth, you're welcome. btw - ported over to your version of Fever. That b/w Peggy Lee clip floating around here is my all-time favorite vid. Yours is terrific - you really know your way around a song.

[iluvbrok84]

absolutely stunning

[MrBoggles]

you got it! great pitch control!!

I hope your giging in jazz clubs or whatever. you got the whole package girl don't waste it!!

[leo14358]

Beautiful voice!! Your voice is very clear, precise, and tender. I really love it when you are gentle with the words and do a bit of vibrato.

Be braver! And let go of yourself. Think of someone for whom you'd be a little lamb, and you'll find the emotions of the song.

It's funny, Asher Book has a scene in the movie Fame where he shows the girl he has a crush on his rendition of the song. You should totally watch that scene and try the song again!

Love it.

[pianoplayinfool]

I think that was an amazingly heartfelt rendition.....impressive.....b­eautiful intonation.....Bravo...A

[mkm051607]

you have a great voice- but you need to loosen up a bit. I feel like I'm watching a teaching segment or something- you're too robotic trying to make sure you hit every note right. Just let go, you've got the talent- don't be so technical- it's doesn't come across as natural

[theatreer999]

open your mouth more and smile if you feel like your flat. you don't need another person to say that you sound beautiful but great job

[hyppergirl28]

OMG you are SOOOO amazing! It was PERFECT!

Loved the tempo and your key and just everything!

That's like one of my favorite songs and you perfected it =)

[Shelley464]

Chills. Awesome. More, please. :)

[jwillie14]

your on my team.

[danceapink]

Good gracious!!!

You have got one amazing voice!!!!

If you do not go on American Idol or do some type of singing career, you are crazzy!!!

;)

[GreysAreHere]

WOW!!! I love it.

[fluffynamedkimba]

wow. no training?

ive had training and i need some tips from YOU!

brava!!! you have a great instrument and lovely presence. you nailed this song, awesome.

[srt0070]

Beautiful. And I fully enjoyed singing along and harmonizing with you. ;) Thanks.

[emusicala]

You have a beautiful voice!!! Have you had a training? Very nice, soothing, and even! So angelic made my night :-)

[elene1228]

Beautiful! Dont slow it down so much.

[dancetilyadrop61]

you have an amazing voice.

[JERRYF16]

Absolutely stunning..... I really enjoyed watching your performance... (10 stars)

[FireActress17]

You really don't need a disclaimer or warning in front! You were amazing. Someone of your natural talent shouldn't be afraid to take a brave move like this one - it paid off. I'd love to hear a full version!

[SmushyWushy]

Very nice. I'd like to suggest that you not preface your performances with apologies, or warnings, or self-effacement. You have no reason to do this. Your purity of tone sets you apart, and self-assurance will only enhance your performance.

[dmhittner]

Aloha. Please let go of the fact that you have no formal training. You nailed a very difficult and delicate song that pros often miss.

If singing is your most cherished dream come true, please keep at it.

Peace! dd

[misslovelyrachel]

i sang this song for an auditon a few weeks ago.

its a beautiful song, but more difficult than i anticipated.

i liked how you embraced the style and character the song was written for.

[bellavitaxox]

that was great acapella

[stl2006mom]

That was beautiful. For not having training you sing very well. Good Luck to you in whatever you choose to pursue.

[NEO7426]

UNFREAKIN BELIEVABLE!!! that was simply AMAZING!! AND DEVINE!! you need a cd girl.....

[ilyalushtak]

where's the bridge? nice phrasing. you didn't rush the rests.

[HeartOfInk]

She said she was only doing a snip it.

but other than that i agree

[ilyalushtak]

Wow, having just played an accompaniment for your video, I got a much better of appreciation of how killing you are. I really wish you had gone to the bridge. You do stay perfectly in A-flat. Come you think of it, if you really have no training or experience, you're probably a genius. (and not because you stayed in key.

[ilovebroadway123]

daang you are really good! it sounds like you've been vocal trained for years.

[centralcutie10]

you amazing!

[Patinuaaa89]

You are so so so so so talented!!!!!!!! I am completely blown away!!!!!!!! And with no vocal tranning?!?!?! oh my goodness!!!

[sixrubberduckies]

amazing

[LothwenUndomiel]

great job! I'm impressed!! Wow!

Therese

[mettanc]

embrace me, embrace me......lovely.

[deimosianrocks]

I've seen this performed a lot and you got it down, great tone for having no music to key off of.

[gjames3313]

so this was pretty much the most beautiful thing i've ever heard.

[kristinbrooke08]

you're a goober and iloveyoumuchos. :) This is one of the very first videos I made! It's friends like you who make me want to do this for the rest of my days...

[newteenallstar]

what is acapella?

[kristinbrooke08]

A cappella (Italian: "at the chapel" or Latin: "From the chapel/choir") music is vocal music or singing without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way.

Hope that helps! :)

[newteenallstar]

yes thanks!

[cuteXpuffy]

@newteenallstar

hahaha ...

ummm well it means a song without music 

[berm88]

amazing!!I love that song and you sang it so well!!Are you sure you havent had vocal training!?xx

[ashlynwalker]

are you familiar with renee olstead? she did a version of this song. anyways. unrelated.

i looove your voicee.. :) and agree that you should sing somewhere over the rainbow.

[kristinbrooke08]

i am, actually! she has a beautiful voice, but i have never heard her version of this song...thanks for letting me know :)

and thank you for the sweet comment, that means a lot to me! i'll break down and do "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in the next couple of days :) i've just started learning how to use iMovie on my Mac, whoot.

[136Trine]

You have a beautiful voice!

[fghfdghh24]

beautiful!

[starfish6188]

I'm no musical expert, but I thought that was just lovely. I would love to hear you sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow sometime, acapella or otherwise.

[GalindaThe3rd]

Gosh. My eyes started to tear a bit. That was beautiful. You have a spectacular voice!

[julieeb123]

[nikopurrrr]

you have a truly amazing voice. not to mention, you picked a terribly difficult song to sing a capella- but you totally nailed it dead on.

[joannamarierogue]

Beautiful :-)

[MissBroadwayDork]

You've never had any training?? Shut up! I hate you even more now.

Do I even need to say you sound gorgeous?

Humph!
