Beautifully sung - with so much love for the melodies - especially the high notes

[LayLink]

oué tu chante bien dan ton stile klassik

mais le bleme avec ce styl c la voi de tete d filles

conpletmant destroy d sylabes du poem

poukoi vous chanté pa plutot d vocalize ? rrrru rrruu loou troulou szchtompf sa massacrerai rien

[thejamiedonna]

very nice the only suggestion I have is to pull your tone a little more foward especially on the lower notes. When you opened up on the high notes the placement was perfect. use that same placement on every note :)

[Caramellatta]

I love your "songes". It was a magical moment.

[iko753]

I find that you used so much vibrato and it constricts you to sing clearly. You know certainly Kiri Te Kanawa in her version of this song on youtube you'll understand what I mean :p But don't worry :)

[Gabrah]

u sound good, n i agree with "solosinger88" 's critique on breath support n nerves.

but also work on controling ur hands n swaying too much...figiting only distracts us...move ur hands, but in a motion that reflects the words. =]

[freespiritQC]

That's normal when you sing repertoire you're not ready for.

She's 17 and singing all those depressing songs when she should be singing light Debussy songs and be having fun.

What's the point of being 17 if you can't sound 17 and be having fun doing so?

I love this Fauré song and you sing it beautifully.

[nancyerin14]

i wish i could sing as good as you

i am singing this song for the solo festival this year

and i think your version is great

can you please let me borrow your voice from now till february?

[ericbrockway]

You have a beautiful voice, but this is an incredibly difficult song to perform. I know it is difficult, but please try to relax more, you look so tense, and nervous, and that doesn't help. You also don't seem to enjoy it at all, and that's inexcusable of course. Try to love your own voice, and look happy ;-) And keep your hands down your body, don't move your hands all the time. This is all meant to be positive, because you have a charming voice ;-) All the best, would love to hear more later!
