This is wonderful! You have such a nice voice! I am singing this song on monday for my state solo festival and i am so nervous!! any pointers??

[operagirlemily]

thank you for the compliment! Keep your energy level up the entire time and remember you are telling a story! Have fun and good luck!!!

[uvme92]

wow that's really good. especially considering how hard that song is to sing. and i kno bcuz my singing coach wants me to sing it and i can't hit half of the notes lol. :)

[mchertzog]

Very nicely done. This is a difficult song. I sang this years ago.

[TheBroadwaybaby3]

Just work on your vowel sounds. Pucker out for those O's

[SheriZsong]

You can come sing our town mermaid song anytime, "Myrna From New Smyrna" (youtube). Seriously, you look to be a lovely young woman, lovely voice. Little nervous? Gets easier the more you perform. Keep singing!

This was too breathy, work on your support.

What school is this? Love this song!

[lilkategurl123]

I think your voice is great, but use more vibrato! It would make your voice much more mature and full. Goodluck with your studies!

and for you operagirlemily i can just congratulate:)after a year i see my faults,and i hear,that you sing it very nice:)

[bocka313]

as you could see,i don't know english fairly,my pronunciation is bad,you're right with pearly and shiny:)

and if I can record somehow,you can hear it:)

if it come off,i'll write you a letter and you have to hear it!:)

[lonRRtennisbabe]

You make it look so easy! Great job.

[tabitwin]

just lovely!!! i can understand your words which is good since a lot of sopranos are kinda hard to understand

[xXMidnightPlumXx]

Ah this was lovely my dear.

But I have a question, what was the highest note you had to sing in this song?

[mchertzog]

How can someone who does not speak English "well" make the comments you did?

Nonetheless, you are incorrect. This singer pronounced Pearly and shiny correctly. Also, "of" was done correctly, in my opinion.  That is a note you have to pop up to. She sounded great. If you can do better, lets hear it.

[AkatsukiRyah]

wow u have an amazing voice

I am singing this song on the 28th for a competiotion @ my school i have been practicing with this vid

[astridowa]

thank you.. i didn't find this song.:)

[pRiMaJuLiA7]

thx. so i can learn this song.

Your voice is ok but don't know!

[bocka313]

you are fairly good.

but i think you get too much air.

the "pearly" and "shine" words aren't too good.

the "of" syllables are too strong.

But on the stage you are really such a mermaid.And if you correct these mistakes,the song will be really comestible.

sorry,but i don't know english very well.I'm Hungarian.

I sing this song too.This week,on Saturday i will be sing on a concert.I'm very afraid of it.

Endly i want much luck for you:)bye

thank you! keep up on your singing!
