We talked about her on the main board.
She is fantastic.

Posted: 11/9/07 at 6:06pmI love the subtitles. Deep and best vocals mashed together?

She has a great voice, but she's not a good singer... yet.
She has a powerful instrument (with capabilities far beyond her years), but there's no feeling at all. It's a raw, unfocused talent. She has no idea what she's singing about. She's prancing around the stage, posing, and playing hand toss with her mic.
She could be trained to be great. If she takes the gift and uses it.
Or... she could stay right where she is "artistically," and just "show off" her raw gift for many years to come.
...Which to me, is not so impressive.

Posted: 11/9/07 at 6:58pmWhat besty said. When I watch old videos of myself singing, I notice that I conveyed no emotion. Now, I consider emotion to be just as important as vocal prowess.
#13re: 15-year-old Filipino Girl Best Ever 'And I Am Telling You...'?
Posted: 11/9/07 at 7:03pmI'm anxious to see her grow into her "own" voice and persona on stage. There's a load of raw talent there but she comes off as a cheap knock off Jen I and Jen II. She has a pleasant sounding voice that is begging to be paired with more suitable material as well. That song has been butchered by so many singers to the point that the newest interpretations are bordering on camp.

She's got the thing that can't be learned. She has the "gift." An impressive gift, too.
The rest can be learned, if she wants to learn it. She'll have to work at it, to find her own "voice" (as you said, which is true)... and to understand and communicate a song through emotion.
The "demon" is that most performers with a gift like this don't take the next step, because they don't have to. She could have a nice career and plenty of notoriety just showing off the basic gift she has now to the world.
I find that not much more than a "circus act," an exhibition, or a curiosity. But that's just my opinion. It's boring to me. It's the bearded lady, or the Hope Diamond, or the guy who can juggle 17 knives at once.
The choice is up to her. And she's awfully young to be making it.
The same thing happened to Judy Garland. She was a 12-year-old with a freakishly huge, mature voice. MGM took her (specifically Roger Edens), and taught the little girl with the big voice how to sing a song.
Took the raw talent, showed the girl how to use it, and developed an artist.
But how many in this world get to be a "Judy Garland?" How many with a gift like that are willing to work that hard? Very few.
Maybe she'll be one of them.

Posted: 11/9/07 at 7:57pmI saw it at Ross the other day...NOT that I was in the women's section or anything...
#21re: 15-year-old Filipino Girl Best Ever 'And I Am Telling You...'?
Posted: 11/9/07 at 8:01pmI honestly...thought it was a joke when I first started watching. I thought somebody else's voice was dubbed over hers. But nope. She's just...quite gifted. I wonder how much training she's had. There's probably a story about her somewhere that reveals that all she's done for the past fifteen years is bop around her house belting out tunes and that she decided to go on the show because she loves to sing. And she just happens to have a (relatively) larger-than-life voice. Whew.
