Me Singing AUTOMATIC by Utada Hikaru

[Ngomansland1]

so cute!!!!!!!!!

[TheElick2]

do autoramctic 2

[mugennosora]

you tried too hard....especially when you try to copy the way she sings, leave those out and the pronouciation will follow, because you try to sing the way she does, the flaws in your japanese shows more.

[esperides11]

Me encantooooooooooo!!! super super bien!!!!! n__n

[nimrob]

wtf?

[mikewams4speed]

You sound great!! ^_- Very beautiful voice. Utada would be proud

[xKaCh2012x]

Very nice!! beautiful voice!! Arigatoo 5 stars

[Sephi65566]

wow....

[takemitsu1957]

Please pronounce more clearly or I do not get the meaning of lyrics.

Not out of tune, though. Overall fair.

[Yunie093]

Dude, it's not exactly easy for people who aren't Japanese or who can't speak Japanese [I'm assuming she's not Japanese lol] to get the pronounciation right. I'm Japanese and even I can't get certain bits right. She's trying her best.

Good effort, definitely not an easy song to sing. =] Well done.

[sageseiji]

i agree that its a hard song to sing but just because your japanese and suck at it, doesn't mean you have to say it's hard for japanese people, it's their f'ing language.

[toadette11]

it seems slower than the original song

[yuyuzito]

omg! you made me go crazy!

it's automatic.

[uch]

i am enjoying it

[incompetentidiots]

you suck

[aida07]

your voice is cool,but u have to work at pronunciacion;)..go on!

[jwpx92]

dont show us a picture record a video when you sing

[RukiaNarutoLover]

finally another japanese-er!

[uch]

japanese-er??

[boxerguy2343]

ur voice overpowers the music but other than that, good job

[ariair05]

umai Gooooooooood

[katzorange]

really nice:) just some of the lurics sounded chinese instead of japanese, just the diction pronounciation, you almost sing it like utada hikaru:)

[Zumoyumiku]

hmm.. it's rather flat. and draggy...sorry to say. but it's a good try. =) please keep practicing and improve on your pronunciation!

[koreanpunk07]

nice voice, why don't u show up ur face..

[IamShibuya]

I thought that was pretty good...^^ JIA YOU!

[jinryosuke]

Very good, I never heard singing Realistic good then you

[jet9mm66]

Sorry Utada fan forever but you suck...

[bluemonolith88]

Clearly a non-Japanese speaker singing; though, the singing is pretty good.

[fireflyangel27]

very nice job!! I sing this one in karaoke sometimes and it's great to hear what another non-native speaker sounds like :)

[TheLiquoriceFish]

Needs some more work on the pronunciation, but other that it it was great! You should be proud of yourself for having the confidence to do this. You seemed to capture the mood of the song. Sugoi ^^

[pinkwildboar]

すごい。 Good singing. :@)

[HIKARUJLB]

terrible on the lyrics. you can actually sing this song quite well if only you would understand the Japanese pronunciation. I would start with understanding how the Japanese words are structured , check out the Japanese alphabet for starters and that will VASTLY improve upon what you have at this time. Take this critism well I'm just trying to help.

[keyzetai]

you sing pretty well. way better than i could ever do.good job ^_^

[dantze]

Hey your voice is not bad imo.

It's just that.. yeah.. the recording is not too good.

I reckon you should post another clip with a different song ? English song maybe ? I love Hikki, it's just that I wanted to hear your voice on a diff song :P

[squarecnix]

LOL WHAT THE HELL!!!!

[Kesariacity]

I am afraid that neither you are Japanese nor that you know the language. You have a weird accent but on the other hand, Utada has a too "Americanized" accent in this song.

[Ehxidi]

I don't know what all these people are talking about. I think your voice is fine here. But I agree on singing lower songs. You seem like an alto. :D

[cathleya]

I freaked out when I saw the picture changing colors! XDDD

[savannah2k7]

awesome i wish i had your voise lol

[gargoyles2006]

x_x it sounds like you're just saying the words..sorreh

[beatricek]

Yuk...

[RileyXGeorge]

pretty good

[cromartiedropout1]

A bit flat.

[CYNDiixMOEUNGG]

haha, yeah you were slightly off.

its okay tho, atleast your not japanese ;]

[meiiLiChan]

hear me sing on UTube ~ youtube/meIILIchan ~ featuring songs from ~ High school Musical ~ Avril Lavgine ~ Hilary Duff ~ Sean Kingston ~ Kelly Clarkson ~ Frays(The)~ nd much much more enjoy!~

[orgoik]

you're pretty good. You should try singing something that's lower, though. You hit really good low notes. a song like...hotel lobby or kiss and cry(which isn't out yet)

[heighly]

you should watch this, kid singing listen!!great voice!!

youtubeDOTcom/watch?v=Vj-UAIkR­W-g

[ociepietrus]

[chinkchink]

[shinwa16]

[lilxjayxfan4ever]

[shmidyeah]

cool you're chinese^_^

^_^

[suzuki656]

[hottigerchic01]

[juncaba]

i like the way you pronounce automatic, great make it well good luck

[SopeSoetan]

w w w. myspace. com/lilsope

HEAR A 12 YEAR OLD SING R&B

[KikuHanajima]

*I think you'd do well

Stupid typos. XD

[KikuHanajima]

I think that with practice, your voice will get better. It is pretty good now. I like your tone for singing Utada songs, but your Japanese pronounciation is way off. So, I think you should try one of her English songs off of the Exodus or Precious albums or sing the song Simple and Clean. I you'd do well.

Good luck with your singing, hope to hear more from you in the future! :)

[Kolona1012]

Needs work!! But its ok its not bad...but its not good...

[mayum345]

are you Japanese? cuz you pronounce things a little deferent in the song.... its still good

[OneDarkChild]

._. I think i'm going to go kill myself now.

Please stop slaughtering the Japanese language.

[singtheirelegy3]

She did a great job. You dont need to be an ass just because shes not pronouncing things 100% accurate simply because shes not Japanese

[Chenticchan]

I totally love it ^-^

[lilxjayxfan4ever]

lol im not japanese at all, definitely chinese =D and yes, im from USA ^^

[seeseseese]

haha, okay, i don't mean to laugh, cuz i know you're trying hard. but i just happened to read vaniteh's comment.. the part where he/she said "it's horrible." don't worry! i believe in you! you could do better with more practice~! your voice is pretty good. do vocal warmups (the "yawn" technique.) and don't "pinch" your high notes! gl :)

[Roxie101]

I think your voice was cracking occasionally...

DUN!DUN!duN!!!!!!!!!

WATER!!!!!

yeah, you need alot of that. But it was okay..

[Kolona1012]

lol

[baicha83]

Great job! I thought it sounded great. I'm a big fan of her music. Are you American? I think you've been studying Japanese or something. Cause when I try to sing along with the song, I end up mumbling half the lyrics, lol. I guess in my head, it sounds like you singing it. ^-^

[066933847]

ur japanese if pretty good but still sounds kinda awkward for japanese O.O

[Superryuski]

Are you not Japanese??the pronounciation is just perfect!!

[windchime882002]

well for me its nice, nice try

[candypop10]

somehow, the first thing to my mind was that you would be her sister ._.

[amazonazOfjapan]

hey PM me and ill teach you how to pronounce japanese well!

Youre ruined the lyrics.lol.,,but good for an american.

[bubblegumsam]

you sound awesome, totally love the sound of your voice

[psxer]

O.o dun listen to these guys, xD, u sound pretty good, ihope u upload more vid 2 utube :D, specially if r utada's songs , anyway You FTW ok :) <3 is automatic !

[lqxsakurax]

omg!! i think you're gr8!! dont listen 2 those trashing u..they're idiots..lol u did gr8..honestly ^^ ur voice did wear down nere the end tho but who cares! its still dnt mean u didnt do good lol keep singin ok! ^^

[broadcastmyballs]

WEEABOO

[Miyuki15]

this is great :3 I don't believe anyone else could do better who are posting harsh comments. You have beautiful voice :3 Keep it up!

[shallowend]

uhmmm i think you should leave the singing to hikaru srry but nice try

[josanbabu]

Cynthia,

Not a bad effort. More than the pronunciation, watch your intonation, especially on the lower parts of the verses. As Randy Jackson would say, it was a little 'pitchy'. If you want to sound more 'native', practice your R's and F's. A Japanese R does not sound like an American English L. It's a 'flip' R (similar to Spanish, but just one 'flip' instead of an actual 'rolled' R). The R is actually closer to a very lightly articulated English D.

Gambatte ne!

[seeseseese]

i admire your teaching skillz. couldn't have explained better myself. ^^

[lilxjayxfan4ever]

here i posted a new acapella version of automatic? any improvements?

[lilxjayxfan4ever]

umm sorry bout the pronounciation..i mean im not trying to disgust u guys or anything..i'll try harder next time : (

[jensen85]

sorry but your not a very good singer

[Vaniteh]

The pronounciation is more than a little off.

It's horrible.

[pandaharu]

I would like to hear you speak/sing Japanese then. (^ ^)

[Vaniteh]

I'm native japanese. It'd sound like any other japanese person singing/speaking.

[pandaharu]

Well, if you are native Japanese, you would know that you guys have different dialects and accents. So it wouldn't really sound like any other Japanese person singing/speaking. Oh, and I'm not offending you or anything, I would just like to hear. (^ ^);

[Vaniteh]

May have different dialects, but all in all, thety sound the same to most people. =]

I'll get around to it someday. I've been intending to do something with this account for ages. lol

[pandaharu]

Okay, can't wait! ^-^

[jpopsuki2244]

you have a really pretty voice

[Gayle1661]

This is awesome ^^ keep singing~

[KyuNaShi]

im dismayed with this version..the lyrics are awful.

[honeywhiska]

it's too high, should sing a little bit lower. because this song's meant to be sad... so ... lower would be better just by a little bit

[Gayle1661]

actually if you look at the english translation it's rather happy~

[dragonic2020]

Pronouciation a little off... but good overall!

[pro1141]

...verry off more like. but nice try. good voice.

[SpongeyFan2]

I bet you can't sing like her...

[pro1141]

well i never said i could/couldn't. besides i'm not the one posting my voice on youtube.

[tokyotiff]

You're better than utada o.o WOW!

[hanakotoba]

better?

no.

you're really awesome(:

yeahh the pronunciation is a little off....

[tokyotiff]

well, it still sounds like well pronounced japanese to me... I think though I try very hard to pronounce the lyrics the way utada does, I wouldn't be quite as good... are you japanese? Nihongjin desu ka?

[Vaniteh]

Have you ever heard a Japanese person speak? THAT's good pronounciation? She's made all of about three proper japanese words in her entire song, and none of those were words that were supposed to be there.. :|

[/japanese national]

[Kanahime777]

Have YOU ever heard an American try to speak Japanese? God, you're an idiot if you can't see that she did a LOT better than most. She might not sound native but I have yet to meet anyone not born Japanese that could sound like they were.

You did fine, hun. In the end your voice wears down a bit... but it was still good ^^

[TadakoXIII]

Yeah, you *do* have a clear voice, but you should sing from yer diaphragm cause i think you'll sound better and maybe you could even belt if you do. Don't get me wrong though, i think your voice is good. Also, who's that guy at 3:20-4:35? x:

[yukimama]

That's Takuya Kimura, one of the hottest guy from SMAP.

[ClaireRedfield16]

It´s AU-TOMATICCCC :D I want more videos!!!! :D

[ghost156]

hmm i guess i found ur song cynthia me= Alvin ur cuzin

[nickichick]

very nice!! Your voice is very clear, and you hit every note very well! reccomendation: try breathing more from your diaphram more, It will make your singing less breathy.

You hit the low notes really well also ^^

[lilxjayxfan4ever]

u might want to turn the volume up its kinda low
