After gaining some respect from her peers singing in the last talent show of elementary school(she was 11), a teacher that had heard Carina singing in the bathroom months before the show, went backstage after her first song and requested that Carina sing an encore of "Amazing Grace" accapella. Soon after, Carina received a scholarship for vocal lessons. She has made great progress and I will upload a new video soon. Please give her feedback by ratings or comments, it really builds her confidence. You are allowed to present honest criticism,(she admits the "nasally" problem and works on it constantly) as long as it is not vulgar, mean-spirited or hateful,a ridiculous chain letter, or in some cases, pervert drool. I am this child's mother and I do monitor this site and to those who are worried,thank you 1st of all and 2nd, that is a "skort" she is wearing, shorts with a fake flap on the front to make it look like a skirt, so it is appropriate attire in 110 degree heat. She does read your comments and takes the honest criticism and tries to use them to better her ability for the gift of singing is a solace for her and my broken hearts. She may never be a star, and she's not trying to be, this video was intended originally for friends and family across the nation to view to see how she was holding up after the multiple tragedies in her young life. The fact that over 35,000 people have viewed it and have, for the most part, enjoyed it for what it is, she is glad that she brought others joy. What more could a mother ask for?

  • how can she be 11 when she was 6 in 2008 i dont get it

  • @Peachis911 I'm not sure where you got the idea that she was 6 in 2008- She was 11 years old in this video which was taken in May 2006. She is now 15. She was diagnosed with ADHD at age 6 but that was in 2001.

  • omg she is so good.

    better than me. lol

    how old is she??

  • @kellieroberts95 - She'll be 15!!!! on Feb. 14. She's now in High school and still singing and if her lazy mom (me) would finally upload some of the events she's sang at in these last 4 years, you'd see a remarkable talent. She still makes me cry when she sings and hits a note just so perfect that it fills you with emotion, and I live with her! So thank you for your nice comment.

  • your story is very touching carina. i cant wait to hear what else you have sung. you seem like you have a lot of potential. good luck!

  • She's done "Only hope" at one event. Then she was in a show spotlighting local talent in which she sang "Think of me" from Phantom of the Opera after being cheated out of a talent contest in which people almost threw things at the judges for not choosing her ( the sound guy messed up her intro so she had to come in at the middle of the song and so they deducted points) but the spotlight was an actual showcase. Her last talent show she sang " Somebody to love", the "Happy Feet" version.

  • @maanitskay1 i agree... i was little back then and i had no training what so ever. and btw this is my account i made about idk how long ago.... but i have it so i can say my bit now... and every thing my mother has told you is wrong so dont listen to her. i did this to get repsect from the other kids becuz they call me names and pull my hair...

  • awesome for a lil girl

  • Haha Shes great and just wanted to say her birthdays on Valentines Day ...... Mine is too! lol

  • What a beautiful little girl. Natural talent. A little bit more pronounciation and calmer breathing (i understand that it is nerve wracking in front of an audience.. especially of your peers) with make your true voice come in loud and clear. Keep up the good work sweetheart!!

  • your very good! if you made a CD i'd totally listen to it!

  • @catiedan it was a different one my bad but look it up there two of them
