The accent and belt is alittle much.

[MegTraino0]

Very beautiful. :) Sounds good enough for Broadway.

@RussellStephens6132 Seriously? Why be a cunt instead of supporting a fellow actor/singerl? At first I assumed that you were just an old, douchebag-y cynic, but then I watched some of your videos: yikes! Man, for someone criticizing another's acting, you have a lot of nerve. Look at your "Meadowlark," for example. AWFUL performance. Your own "gesticulations" are almost as distracting as your complete lack of breath support and do little to mask your general awkwardness. Katie's belting? Gorg.

[RussellStephens6132]

There are so many things wrong with this performance. Aside from the fact that there is BELTING in the song (last time I checked, Christine is a soprano), your vibrato is off the charts in places it shouldn't be and your gesticulations are reminiscent of a 4th grader in acting camp. I seldom say this, but less is more with this song. Less in terms of vibrato, hand motions, and overall performance. Just be.

@LittleN1921 lol true but still good in a unique way :)

[ChanginAndHow678]

i think it sounds fine. :)

[Foreversngr9]

your soprano is gorgeous. nice actor choices, a little strong with your arm gestures and your lower register needs some work you sound like you were struggling....

[LittleN1921]

honey, you dont BELT phantom.

the intensity should still be there, but in your freaking head voice!

[cdmsinger]

WHEW!!!! "Why can't the past just die?" was absolutely phenomenal. one of the best interpretations of this song i've heard to date. fantastic voice, and fabulous performer.

what does "belted" mean?
