Ready to Be Loved

[onthegoodshiplollie]

Curly Sue is awesome

[melzzy33]

this is so fierce. your voice is fantastic!!!! love this

[JmB8207]

Her rendition of this song sounds like Shoshana Bean's to me! I think she did a great job. The first video I saw of her was Horns of Jericho from The Ten Commandments musical...fantastic job in that as well.

[mmodifer]

Wow. This is the first video I've seen of you Alisan, and you are simply-amazing. You go girl!

[syworld82]

@dionmichelle I 110% DISAGREE .. this is the most dull and boring performance of this song on youtube... She is no Inspirational Singer either... SOrry, THis was just a bland American Idol Audition version of the song.. BTW.. This is a very weak vocal she relies too much on Riffing and her non riffs are screechy...not like christina who is a SOLID vocalist...

[helenmq]

Love this powerful performance. This version has the most untamed release of emotion. She also creates the climax of the song at the right moment.

[cheerupemokids05]

this is proof of why theater songs aren't stand still pieces. you obviously have a good voice, but if you're going to sing a song from a musical, don't just stand there and "christina" it on a mic with a stand. other than that, decent voice.

[musicfreck03]

Amazing, brillant!!

[jamiemd09]

hay, where's your chubby cheeks!?! :P

[dionmichelle]

I have watched several versions of this same song..... THIS is the best performance yet. @Capnjoe023... The song was written WITH those riffs. Alisan, this version is the most honest and feeling version. Others are "performed". I love it. Thank you for sharing it.

[dionmichelle]

This is a really great song.... Music, lyrics and delivery... 

[DirtyRottenScoundrel]

Eargasm to the extreme. Unreal, girl....

[garymoore1988]

great voice

curly sue grew up

sounds like christina aguilera

[richcrawford123]

you fail in so many ways i clicked on your link in your main page because you labeled it "to be loved" and that shit aint janis joplin, do somthin as a cover thats so great that just doin it half as good as the origional is interesting and you might have a chance, otherwise omg your taste in poop is brown...

[homgJulie]

Awe her little fingerrss. lmao.

[sbort]

ABSOLUTELY GIVES SHOSHANA A RUN FOR HER MONEY!!!!!!!!!

this is SO FANTASTIC!!!!!! i was practically up and dancing... girl= GO ON!!!!!

and omg danny calvert <3 i just adore you. i miss you. sigh. <3

[belcanto7744]

AH-MAZE!!

[jen101281]

Alisan, you are a powerhouse. You truly define the term "artist." Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful girl. I love your music and hope to hear tons more from you. Thanks for sharing your amazing talents. You're an inspiration to young girls everywhere. :)

[gnarlywrinkledwench]

Wow, I am just so exceedingly impressed. Alisan far outdoes much of the female talent out there. Her authentic voice and gestures make her all that much more endearing as a performer. I just love her surprise notes... wonderful interpretation. Wonderful job, Alisan!

[broadwayxandme]

beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessss­sttttttt!!!!!

[ANGELIAMR]

Caramba, não tenho palavras, achei que estava vendo o American Idol! Parabéns, lindo!!

E obrigado pelo comentário no meu vídeo.

[u2philly]

Gosh what a amazing voice.

[ZeppelinAerosmithNY]

Amazing voice.

[CaptivityHurts2]

buy her new album on cdbaby

[paulywannacrakka]

She's into the music. She feels it. The gestures just emphasize that.

[laugh82]

As amazing as she is and I find it hard to believe that people are so focused on her hand gestures. I'm so focused on her beautiful voice, her gestures and moves make her that much more mesmerizing. God bless you girl, you rock!

[spriingawakeniing]

this is now added to my favorites. she is soo fierce! why isnt she famous?!?!?!

[Bridance266]

this is the best i have heard this song sung.....now if only she could get rid of the twinkly hand gestures

[voutespancar]

What a gorgeous woman I wonder how she would look with the signature curly hair

[34Pianoman]

For a little thing, she can definitely dig deep in her soul, and I agree with the comparison to Shoshana!!

[NFavaloro2]

she reminds me SO much of shoshanna bean

[bymouth]

she is friends with adam lambert, how cool

[peter102288]

oh my goddddd i LOVE this!!!

[Kerryleex]

hahaha she went to my high school guys! well funny! lol

[boomboomboom0]

she went to my high school guys

[JmB8207]

She reminds me of Shoshana Bean!

She has an incredible voice ... this girl can SANGGG! :)

[MrMidwest]

Could someone post her song "The Horns of Jericho" from the Ten Commandments musical?

[JmB8207]

It's posted! Just search it! :)

[kablamo9999]

Great!

[TVP4]

I KNEW your name was familiar. Wow you voice is awesome!  You did an awesome job. :)

[fashionicon101]

ok so this girl is fucking good!! i am a little bummed that she didnt hit some of the high notes, but she riffed some of them down and it sounded great! she has a great voice and it goes grest with this song! 9but i hate the hands)

[Skuhlie]

you do know that your hands don't help you get what you want, right? and that you shouldn't change the melody unless it sounds good? Just checkin.

[Mike875]

ew stop with the fingers...

[mt4ever16]

saraa was soo much betterrrr!!!

go torontoo!!!

<3

[sarahtyrrell32]

this is terrible.

[MrsCullen1121]

it was good. but it kinda bothered me that she was wiggling her fingers whenver her hands went up...which was alot

[expressthis]

i'm in edges at my university next semester and i get to sing this song as woman 2! :-D yayyy

[strangefruittt]

oh my god! curly sue :O awazome!!! amazing voice.

[Ebony451]

although she was a bit pitchy and shouty, i enjoyed it

[beau127]

that was so good.

[OoOKatieJayOoO]

Amazing! I think I might actually like this version better than the Shoshana Bean one and I love her! Is Alison famous? I've never heard of her.

[musictheatreguy01]

pseudo famous...ever seen the movie "curly sue"? that was her. she was also on broadway in the a chorus line revival

[OoOKatieJayOoO]

No, I haven't seen those. But I have heard of Curly Sue. That's cool though. I love her voice.

[MrMidwest]

She was in the movie Parenthood with Steve Martin as well.

[expressthis]

really??/ cool! i love that movie

[OhmBoyNY]

Girl- you are an insanely talented singer and dancer!!!! Love you:) eric p.

[olivejuice16]

I'm reply challenged. Mine was in response to "alemerent". :|

[musicalarts]

Just had to comment that Alison seriously makes me smile every time i hear her sing.For real! Your truly blessed with a wonderful gift.Keep livin your dream!

[1ManMusical]

I don't care what anyone else says, this girl is as amazing as Shoshana Bean to me(who happens to be my favorite performer ever).

[HalighAnAwfulLie]

One of my favorite singers, her voice is bloddy amazing.

[fantasmickelly]

LOVES this song

[alemerent]

This chick is full of herself-- she needs to stop with the hands and the gratituous, off-pitch riffing. Just goes to show just how damn good Christina is. And can someone remind her that if she continues with this, she WILL get nodes. And that's a bitch to treat.

[jdunphy89]

agreed...the constant hands in the air with the fingers wiggling is especially annoying

[iloveJave16]

agree but shes good

[apexpark]

um no. with a voice like that, it would be acceptable if girl stood up there picking her nose.

[olivejuice16]

Don't be hatin'. The girl is AMAZINGLY talented. Just because she feels comfortable in front of a crowd doesn't make her "full of herself". And why are you comparing her to Christina anyway?

[theaterguy12]

You rock! you kick a**! Love this song to death!.

[Chelci23]

I agree she can sing, but she is overdoing it, she needs to pull it back. when she gets higher is sounds good, but when she is lower you can't hear her voice cuz all she is doing is riffing

[AlzSings]

Good grief, chica. I'm am incredibly impressed! I'm not gonna lie...When I was little, I wanted to be you. Haha. And you're even more amazing than you were then. Awesome job!

[zooger05]

FIERCE!!!

that is all.

bryan.

[KyleNixon3]

This Girl is Amazing. No one can deny it. I am extremely impressed. What i like about this girl is she doesnt just sing songs, she feels them. You can hear the passion in her voice. AMAZING! If she went on American Idol she would WIN, HANDS DOWN!

[curlyfryz3181607]

You, my friend, sound like you could be the next Shoshana Bean. Now, bear in mind, that I am IN LOVE with her, so that's a big compliment for me to give. :] But you're great! DEF keep it up!

[Alisan22]

hey guys...its ok for everyone to have their opinion.....

thanks so much for being so supportive!

i can't impress everyone...hope you like it better next time Capn joe!

love u all

A

[JesseDn23]

I know but dont you love being controversial, Ali? Amazing!

[XXTheForbiddenXX]

I don't know what that guy's listening to- you have an awesome voice, actually the best i've ever heard. You did an amazing job on End Song too. I remember watching you on Star Search, i have a few years on you so i remember it clearly- i was an avid watcher back then lol.

[izzi8282]

@Alisan22 hahahhahah i think it's beautiful and amazing, as always-and CapnJoe is very welcome to his own opinion. i just strongly disagree with it, that's all :)

[Leadingdude]

get it curly sue!!!!

[CapnJoe023]

This is ridiculous....She's just riffing as much as possible. Like not even that well. Jesus christ. This is like embarrassing.

[lilbrowstalker]

lol you are so jealous. She hasn't gotten any negative comments in all of her videos on youtube which proves she is good being people on youtube are vicious. Every once in a while people like you come alomg out of jealousy and try and rip on people more talented than you. Ha get a life.

[CapnJoe023]

YOU get a life. You took the time out of your day to respond to a YOUTUBE comment. Loser lol and I'm NOT jealous in ANY way shape or form, Im sure she may be a tremendous singer on other songs, I havent listened, however, on THIS SONG HERE....if you've seen the music....after she gets to the chorus and especially towards the end she just riffs as much as is humanly possible. Its not as bad as Shoshana Beans, but she still riffs to much. I never said SHE was a BAD SINGER

[CapnJoe023]

I never said she was a bad singer, I think she is a pretty darned good singer actually, but she still sings THIS SONG...at THIS PERFORMANCE...in a STUPID BAD way. Which SINCE she is a good singer...thus not having the EXCUSE of being a bad singer...is embarassing...since she could've very easily toned it down and probably sounded wonderful.

[XXTheForbiddenXX]

i actually thought doing all the rungs puts the difficulty level very high.

[Skuhlie]

Joe,

I love you.

Not only could I tell it was you by your handle, but I knew from the comment. I miss you. Come back into my life.

[colman324]

This video is amazing.

[kablamo9999]

What a great singer she is!

[diegomaxedu]

AMAZING!!!! High G!

[josiebear88]

i agree with michhater - awesome voice but please stop waving like!

[sofronio]

I LOVE HER!! She was able to copy all of Sho's adlibs... I think they're equi-fabulous...

[kadinaja]

i LUV her.

[iloveaholy1]

[meggiry]

WOW - a little Shoshana Bean! She sounds amazing!

[miggersinger]

[payette]

[boldperspective]

[drewdmartin]
