What a beautiful video and a beautiful spirit, Mandy. Your blending of video, stills, and quotes is truly poetic. One of my favorite moments in this recording is that little emotional spot where your voice breaks a bit on "You'll get by" and then you continue with a strong resilient voice. It gets me every time! It was a very honest moment in the studio and no one wanted you to record it again to make it perfect...because life isn't perfect. You get by.

Mandy, I am deaf too. But I wasn't deaf all my life. I still remember what music truly sounds like. I have hearing aids, but th\ey only let me hear so much. I want to sing well and play an instrument. My imagination and memories of music is what I rely on when I try to sing. I've been told I sing like a drunk sailor, tht I can't sing, and that I CAN sing. I haven't given up on trying. God has blessed you.

I was actually afraid dat by me being half death, I wouldn't be able to pursue a career in music, but after reading your story I now have faith that I can do it! Ur voice is so beautiful and angelic... keep blessing the world with ur voice!

Above amazing. Even if you were not deaf, it is still extraordinarily beautiful. You make me feel a lot better about human ability.. It's you who should be on the radio, not all these fake singers. :D

thank you for being my inspiration and showing me and so many other deaf people that going deaf doesn't mean you have to stop playing music! you're my hero and the reason i got back into jazz.

Mandy, thank you so much for being a singer. My younger sister is going deaf, she wants to be a singer, and she is convinced she can't. I want to show her that being deaf isn't the end, that it isn't a bad thing - she is simply different, like some people have red hair, others have black hair. Thank you!

Tell your sister to never give up! The road she is traveling right now is not a fun or easy one but there is so much to learn and embrace. My prayers are with you guys!
