Sleep - Eric Whitacre cover (Part 1)

This is my all-time FAVORITE part of the song by my all-time FAVORITE composer: Eric Whitacre! This song is called 'Sleep'. It's an AMAZING song!
So I did my favorite part from the song, which is the climax.
Sorry that my voice had no virbrato in it. When I got that high, I couldn't get any virbrato out since I was concentrating for the note to stay there without trailing off. :O)
And WATCH OUT for the volume, because it is VERY LOUD and I don't want to make your ears bleed from it. lol
So...please tell me what you think, because I need to know if I'm any good at reaching that high note. I don't want to be proud of myself (like I am right now) for reaching high notes and not doing well in a video that I thought I was doing well in...so...yeah!
Please comment!

My video was actually posted on THE Eric Whitacre blog on Jan. 4th! I almost peed my pants when I found out! lol. For those who don't believe me, here's the URL:

I love how clean your notes are! (personally I can't stand how most sopranos go crazy with vibrato, I love a good clean straight tone) The only suggestion I have to help round out your sound is to move into a 'head tone' it helps to raise your soft palate (kind of like you're going to yawn) it takes some getting used to, but adding that technique would just send you way over the bar

kudos to your fantastic voice!

Love the sound!!! I just found this on Whitacre's blog. I love this! It's my favorite part. And your voice is so clear and pure and just great. I expect great things from you. Cheers, --Keegan.

I hate the fact that most sopranos go vibrato when the straight precise note sounds so much better. Your voice range is fantastic. Congratulations on reaching those really high notes! :) x
