Really good sense of pitch and text- I would make sure this singer gets a decent voice teacher to make sure she doesn't fall into the "Annie" young lady singer trap an hurt her vocal chords- songs like defying gravity, although awesome, can be dangerous for young and ambitious voices and shady technique can be carried over into adulthood and take a long time to correct. Vocal health first! Even so, really nice.

Thank you very much! I do have a wonderful voice teacher now. You may have heard of her -- Kristian Lei ??

your talent is obvious and this video does show it. you do need to be careful, however... with songs like "defying gravity", they can really hurt your vocal chords at such a young age. excellent performance, just keep that in mind. another thing, your stage presence could use some work. working with an acting coach is sometimes helpful to determine how the song should be "played out" on stage.

you have skills, and i look forward to hearing more of you in the future.

I personally think you did an incredible job with one of the most difficult songs to sing. I am a huge fan of Wicked and will give props to someone whom definitely is shooting that high. You go girl :)

YOU'RE BRILLIANT!!! be careful though...it can srsly screw ur vocal cords over if u sing it wrong

[LittleBitarian]

I would get her a good vocal coach and go more of a opera route because she's got the voice for it. Her vibrato is a little too strong for Broadway, but opera would fit her well. Make sure to not let her "scream" at the top of her chest voice like she does in the last part of the song, she can seriously damage her vocal chords and in turn ruin her chances of being great when she gets older. But for 11, her voice is very mature, but she has a lot of room to grow and find her own voice :)

You're great! You just need a decent singing coach for a few weeks or something, so then you don't go into the whining, like some girls, but you're great!
