  • all them things iv got:) x so im alright xx

  • They forgot save up money for drugs because that's probably going to happen.

  • @ImJustATeenageGirl14 What is?

  • @janicetsanggg1 don't give up! remember u need patience my dear, and keep looking :}

  • @chocolatecam1 this lady forgot to say something in this video which was patience. which I'm just gonna add, i think is osmething you don't seem to possess. And lol of course singing in a choir and porforming at locations get you further than nothing at all. You get experience, you build comfidence, and if people hear what you and your group are doing than you're getting noticed

  • @ibeciara123XD whattt? excuse my langauge , but that's bullshit

  • @azndarkchild "use autotune" hell to the no, lmao

    I actaully can't really stand to hear autotune, like kesha and that t-pain person i know they've got talent but nnowadys people jus get all crazy with it.

  • @MrSpeedGamerz it actaully isn't, what she means is if there's a specific genre you wish to sing find an artist you like and study how they do it not copy them. Listen to how they sing , don't copy them and yes of course your using your voice when doing so

  • Imitate singers? WRONG DEAD WRONG! You need to develop YOUR OWN VOICE.. this is bullshit

  • random chubby man in sunglasses = vocal coach...XD
