  • Great voice! :) Especially second song!

  • @meganmcqueen I don't think taking it offline is necessary!! There are lots of "wrong interpretations" all around, s'all good! Youtube is for various uses, not just for learning. So we can enjoy her voice despite the interpretation.!

  • Beautiful!

  • Very nice Beccy. Your talent is clearly heard, I hope you continue with your vocal studies.

    From some beautiful vibrant parts espec. in the 1st song, I think you should find suitable repertoire or transpose to a lower key. Be careful not to overdo in the higher notes. Best wishes and good luck :)

  • Nice, sweet voice. A little maturity and some work with the diaphragm might turn it into a really good one. Hope she keeps at it. I have to agree with quodlibette that "What's The Use Of Wonderin'" is inappropriate for a 16-year-old, if only because she can't possibly know the feelings it's intended to evoke. By the way, the lyric of her fist song is a poem by William Butler Yeats called "He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven."

  • Clearly she has never seen Carousel.

    But she has a nice voice

  • I absolutely agree that "What's the Use of Wonderin" is appallingly wrong in its interpretion, but that is also the student's responsibility. Do a little research. You should actually take this offline, to prevent others from making the same mistake.

  • The first was very well done. "What's the use of Wonderin'" is mishandled, which this young lady's musical advisor should have known. It may be Rodgers and Hammerstein, but it isn't a honky-tonk number, it's a somewhat mournful affirmation of love, even damaged love. Nothing up-tempo about it.

  • She has a great voice, though she could use a little more facial expression.  I enjoyed it!

  • She has an amazing voice. I love it. :) God bless!
