Nikki Yanofsky - Over The Rainbow (@RAWsession Cover)

[Hallie510]

HOLY WOW SHE SOUNDS AWESOME! o_O

[LiveylovesWhitey]

Wow. Beautiful!

[plafkinfarms]

A beautiful voice indeed, and what a tribute to Canada; my grandfather Max came to Canada in 1903 when Russia went to war with Japan; he was a bootmaker in the Russian army; he went to the Zalev family in Windsor when he was informed that the Jewish population were going to rounded up by the Russian authorities; he then was able with the help of the Zalevs to bring my grandmother and his nine children over to safety.

[mikeypalmer1]

[DebraTuberion]

Wow.. Just, wow. You can sing

[88062067505]

25 people prefeer Lady gaga shit

[LoverMusiqThe]

I can truely say that I enjoyed listening to this piece. I have some vids of my own if you can comment.

[skarocker21]

damm girl u can sing  great cover

[svoby99]

jseš piča uplně si tuten song posrala

[redscousepride]

wow......think I'm in love.

[starworth1]

Second song I've heard from her. she is a super talent

[m8msworld]

it almost seems the pianoist is on drugs cause he's so into it in a way that so strange but amazing performance anyway

[ThreesharpsA]

I just keep coming back to this every few months and every time I'm so amazed. Though many have recorded this immortal song, few have even come close to this young girl's verison. It's a shame Harold Arlen and E.Y Harburg were not around to hear this. I'm sure they heard Garland doing it in concert , but this version would have really brought tears to their eyes. Writers can only dream that something they create could be this beautiful and powerful.

And she's so beautiful, what a talent.

[batalia8]

just awesome so talented .....



[1austinmahonelover]

I LOVE it!!

[JCTheFilms]

You have an amazing voice :D

[CatsJams]

@Jesterz01 - I admit I had to 'dictionary' the word "amusia." You are SO correct!

[RoboChubb73]

i thought it was bloodnofsky....

[Fulbor]

i found her because my grandma liked her on facebook thx grandma :D

[Jesterz01]

Looks like 22 people (so far) are suffering from amusia, Nikki is incredibly talented that much should be obvious to anyone, even if you dont like jazz...

[JissepiMac]

bend over the rainbow

[rembrandttttttt]

I think she is so talented. She has such an amazing voice. People who criticize her don't know real talent. She's gorgeous and truly has a voice much older than her age. Please don't criticize her. I think she has such amazing control of her vocals and a wonderful style. Can't people just enjoy talent and not criticize from where they come from. I'm American and can't see why people complain so much about our neighbors to the north. It's a gorgeous country and I would so love to visit.

[shelovestylerward]

soo great ;*

i lovei it so much :)

[2010PT]

Congrats to you on such a great job! To master an iconic song like that isn't easy, and you did fantastic. A great pleasure listening to your voice.

[gotrottin]

[Per1PugnoDiNote]

Justin Bieber: GUARDA E MUORI DI INVIDIA! NON SEI DEGNO DI BACIARLE LE SCARPE!!!

Justin Bieber: Look and worship who is the REAL BEST YOUNG VOICE!!!

[endurance234]

[TheDargg]

@endurance234

Isn´t she 16 ?

[rondoudou96]

@TheDargg She's born in 1994 so she was 15 in 2009.

[Alumina888]

She has found her talent!

[xellieblahblah]

Wow, I think 18 people have no ears.

[Barfussinitiative]

I take comfort in your voice and charisma. Your music means a lot to me. Thank you

[naqiel]

she's got the potential,

she's got it all!!

[84ulknudel]

Klasse, ein echtes Naturtalent! Hut ab!!!

[killerdman]

The only part I didn't like was when the video ended. Amazing voice. Pure talent. <3

[rachelsOne]

@killerdman You didn't like the ending? LMAO like you're a comparable singer.

[Sinimeister]

@rachelsOne Did you see that? That was killerdman's comment flying over your head :]

[rachelsOne]

@Sinimeister Good for him! It flew over my head. wow what an accomplishment a dumb ass on You Tube write something an educated person doesn't understand. Alll that means is that the dumb ass is inarticulate. Now begone assholoe.

[rachelsOne]

@Sinimeister Besides Fucktard he could have NOT like the ending, there ARE numb nuts on this site that claim to not like her.

[killerdman]

@rachelsOne I enjoyed the ending... just not when the video ended.

[rudy4evrz]

She has such a beautiful voice. Simply Amazing.

:-)

[ItayDrayer]

you have a good voice.. but i didnt feel anything of your singing.. only big voice. no feelings.

[vodkaananas69]

Am I the only one who understands "upon the stars"and"pornstar"

[paivath]

oh, that's what will farrel been up to.. he's playing piano!

[jay680324]

She has the voice of pureness, unparalleled confidence, and unfathomable potential to mature as she ages!

[Alvarikoke16]

after months I see this video again and I love her

[ltxsmash]

she changes the melody line too much, a little is fine, she does it too much, kinda bugs me

everyone calm down, she has a good voice, im just complaining about too much deviation from the original (brilliant) melody line

i'm actually digging the piano arrangement the most in this song!

[khalyd123]

@ltxsmash I agree that its a bit over sung.

[Doxology100]

Marry me?!

[AndSch77]

this is just the "true" :)

[reese1990drm1]

will farell on piano

[tadrigurl]

U ruined it the original is so much better. But u have a good voice

[Lollipop3132]

wooooooooww

[joygirl98]

she can sing sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooo amazing!

[Rozy02]

She's so cute !

[bellyfullofmambo]

jezus christ (or cries !), she is unbelievable impressive !

[qwerty14142]

I remember hearing the first song from Nikki Yanofsky with low expectations and afterward all I could think was "DAMN." Her voice is like nothing I have heard before.

[unhealthycarrot]

@qwerty14142 which one song? fuck you man always have high expectations for this girl

[qwerty14142]

@unhealthycarrot CHILL. I meant to convey that for her looks and age she sings spectacular. Do you read comments in their entirety before replying to posts or do you just use profanity to insult people like there's no tomorrow? ANYWAY

her voice+her looks=godliness

[princessdoon]

sooooo good.. <3 goosebumps...

[macdlr]

great!!!!!

[tbaket]

awesome!!! what a natural!!! God bless your journey!

[jeniwren1994magic]

wow you are really good, I like how you have made the song your own and not done an original copy, you are pretty amazing for just 15 to be honest!! well done!!

[monkeysmile33]

Wow you are amazing! you have inspired me to pursue my singing and get better :)

[MyLifeAsAlicia]

Great singer but shes ugly.

[pb0o6]

@MyLifeAsAlicia

disagreed.

I think she's pretty.

[saskatoonsafetyguy]

@MyLifeAsAlicia Take off eh!!

[EntanglementSatan]

My god... I didn't expect such an angelic voice.. amazing..

and she's so beautiful too. I'm completely awestruck.

[rayom88]

Great Voice,so light, so tenderness, so brilliant...

God Bless you!

[cRaZyTRimZ]

this is my dream girl.

[cRaZyTRimZ]

she is beautiful.

[kgualydog]

[pinkflowers82]

Chills. . . chills. . . chills!!! (>_<) !!! She did such a good job! Who were the knuckleheads that clicked dislike? Did they have poo in their breakfast this morning?

[JahSanin]

Awesome....Beautiful voice....!

[bosconaut]

[ThisIsJoans]

[hollbri1]

she can't sing.a flat and thin voice-awful like all the other singers today.people should listen to judy garland,diahann carroll,shirley bassey .

[Nenitamg]

amazing !!!

[Nenitamg]

God bless your voice sweet !!

[lizetteromo1]

awesome what can I say really good XD

[bananaboatlistener]

She has a beautiful voice and could sing Green Eggs & Ham and make it sound good.

The thing is, though, is that any thing she sings - is just words.

It deosn't feel like the words mean anything - there's no soul in her sound.

Hopefully she will develope her own style and bring the words to life through her wonderful voice.

[learning41230]

Fabulous voice! Waiting for much more.

[minkiyellow]

Romilda Vane is an amazing singer

[twomuchcents]

I think I may have just crapped my pants this was so good.

[thomathis1]

[thomathis1]

[JIvvEdivA]

[mickey107077]

Wow.

I found out about Nikki when she sang 'I Believe' for the Winter Olympics, and now I realize that she's my favorite singer. Beautiful Nikki. Keep it up.

[bagongbip]

WHAT THE HELLL your voice make me calm down hahah

[thetrackkid10]

[tomatomistake]

[designergirl4EVER1]

[Alvarikoke16]

[VillaySK]

waw =) .... beauteeful

[JDreaminout]

WOW! She is amazing! i had never heard of her till today!! Soo glad i found out about her!

[Tykoa]

I'm glad that some producer hasn't found her and done what was done to jordan sparks. Compare Listening Quality: spark's last american idol performance to her first hit, "No Air". Yeah... stay real, Nikki.

[loopylyn1]

what a little angel

[aoeaoae]

note to cameraman: stop sexualizing everyone. Translation: NO MORE SUPER ZOOM INS PLEASE on her mouth. Be respectful, and don't go nearer than seeing her full face, which is a big enough zoom in in itself.

.

To the singer: PRECIOUS and BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much!!!

[umbilicaltapeworm]

@aoeaoae wow. if it were her chest I could see where you're coming from but my god, the mouth is the centerpiece of a singer. would you criticize a close-up of a violinists fingers? you yourself said she is beautiful. is her mouth, the instrument with which she conveys such "precious" music, not an integral part of that beauty? if you are thinking of sex when viewing the close-ups, the cameraman is certainly not to blame. I didn't think of sex until I read your comment, so way to go. grow up.

[aoeaoae]

@umbilicaltapeworm I think people sing with their hearts and minds, not their mouths and chests.

If u dont see any wrong with EXTREME CLOSE-UP on her mouse, maybe u grew up in a sexed-up culture, desensitized to it. I would expect for at least 80% of men extreme close-up on young woman's mouth *screams* sex. For me the boundary is whether her whole face is seen, including eyes. Anything closer than that, for me, is extreme, and suggestive.

[umbilicaltapeworm]

@aoeaoae then let's make all women wear veils over their faces so we won't have to worry about men thinking "impure thoughts" *sarcasm*. that is precisely why the Islamic nations do it, and many of them treat women like shit. if you don't like it, don't watch it, it's as easy as that.

[aoeaoae]

@umbilicaltapeworm no need to wear veils, just dont take such a close closeups on a girl's mouth so that it fills the whole screen. I much prefer to see a person's eyes, or even better to see their whole face. Ppl sing with their souls, not with their mouths, and eyes are where the soul is seen.

u cant seriously claim that taking extreme closeups on a girl's (woman's) mouth is not sexually suggestive. And can u really tell a difference btwn 16 or 18 year old just by looking at their mouth???

[aoeaoae]

@umbilicaltapeworm i wonder how can I know in advance that there will be some sexually suggestive frames in a video before watching it? I obviously can't.

So when I see a beatiful young female singer with incredible voice all I want is to hear - and see - her sing; I dont need to see her objectified by a shoddy cameraman/producer who are so immersed in promiscuous porno-culture, that they become desensitized in the extreme (and obviously their public). Or u just might be gay, or a female.

[umbilicaltapeworm]

@aoeaoae again, if you don't like it, don't watch it. buy a cd or something, just please don't ruin it for everyone else with your OWN repressed issues.

[aoeaoae]

@umbilicaltapeworm I cant well unwatch it can I? you say my repressed issues, I say your denial... I want more respect to this singer, and you say ... what? (dont repeat yourself, i know what youre saying) i find in poor taste a thing which you do not. fine, no need to be so offensive tho.

[umbilicaltapeworm]

@aoeaoae as if it's my fault somehow that you think about sex when looking at an underage girl's mouth. thanks for ruining this beautiful music for me.

[GirlzPowa]

Seriously

why don't people like her join AI and know that she'll win?

[aoeaoae]

@GirlzPowa they'd vote her down on american idol. for sure. the "common" man dont like excellence, feels put down in its presence. they like just-barely-above-failure, like all the "idols" thus far.

[metawolf987]

@GirlzPowa b/c AI always has politics. Here, she is working with people who truly appreciate her raw talent, and actually cooperate with her in producing music. Unlike big-name producers, who always try to force their artists to do things their way.

[gippygoo]

MAGNIFICENT! You make all of us in Canada so proud of you Nikki. You go, Girl.

[mmmanente]

oh, what a voice!

[brutalstoner420]

wtf is this?

[mattface45]

my speakers just don't go loud enough!!!! :(

[KillaTequilla83]

damn! That was so soothingly beautiful...

[pawsblinky1]

EPIC VOICE! MONTREAL TALENT BABY!

[MsAnimeFan100]

Canada has a lot of amazing singers.... im proud to be Canadian :)

[julianmaar]

shes pretty and has got an amazing voice , there isn't any to complain about.

[SugarLoveForever]

is it me or do the best singers all come from Canada?

[bxsinger87]

@SugarLoveForever There's undiscovered talent all over the world. We just don't hear about it because everyone is so focused on Bieber, Kesha, and all the other artists who are not really much of a big deal.

[SugarLoveForever]

@bxsinger87 not my point but anyway; yeah, I know. 

[bxsinger87]

@SugarLoveForever Ok. :)

[covin228]

@SugarLoveForever LIES!!!!!

[SugarLoveForever]

@covin228 I think you meant: LIE!!!!!

[ManusFrigus]

love how dynamic you make it, keep doing what you do ;-) You sound amazing

[durgaaa]

She would benefit by studying the style of Jane Monheit for a little while.

[cwaltezza]

wow girl keep it up!

[kiplasy]

she is awsome... love canadian singers... like lisa lavie... and now her =D... but how old is she?

[GunzUnl]

[Scotty2103]

Oh holy sh*t. Her voice just blows my mind and heart. Amazing just doesn't quite cut it. It's beyond amazing, beyond greatly amazing.

[sakuradrose17]

[sanndyzhou]

[acfacf4321]

She's really great for her age. Can't wait to hear her when her voice fully matures.

[chavaudem]

She is the best of all times... nice voice, la amo.......

[kuunnuaq]

[nkop225]

God Blesse You

[MissAznKelly]

[PokerFAN999]

I love canadian singers. First Avril Lavigne, then nikki yanofsky :)

[willemellis]

@PokerFAN999 grouping avril lavigne with this girl is an insult to the latter

[xoxocloehorsexoxo]

amazing ;)

[sneezyv]

I love her voice, this is how it is done!!! Wow a real singer, Ididnt think there were any left in this world. Thank you.

[Simoneehoi]

[choppinyews]

Amazing voice, don't really like this version of Over the rainbow though, I like Jason Castros Version from American Idol Season 6 I believe it was.

[junotfranco]

@choppinyews That was no Jason's version, that was by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, he just copied it. Search it here. But this girl OMG!!!!! She makes me search short of breath from the sweetnes in her voice.

[UndergradsOfficial]

amazing goddess!!!
