The maturity in her voice, so pure and yet so wise... this is an amazing performance, and amazing chanteuse... I love everything about it.

[@oliveyim5216]

Y’all she’s Jane Seymour in the Boleyn tour of SIX

[@bowmaster8848]

She’s damaging her voice, I can hear it. She’s a great, but I’m a professional and I know a voice getting damaged when I hear one.

[@lilaandmel]

To be fair, the week these performers spend in workshop prep for the Jimmy’s is grueling. These “kids” are exhausted by show time. Even with that as an excuse to be singing on a tired voice, she absolutely kills this! If you take a moment to watch her additional videos, you can hear that she has a very healthy voice. I’d never want to be judged so harshly from a single performance. I’m also a professional, and a teacher at a multiple Jimmy Award winning school. In fact, I was in the audience for this performance.

[@bluesky5384]

I heard her singing Heart of Stone in January and didn't hear the raspiness like you hear here. She's doing fine!

[@blakezapper9173]

It’s so refreshing to see fake vocalists on KZbin be jealous of actually talented people. It’s not strain it’s called emotion or acting if you’ve heard of it. Touch base with me when you come to conclusions with your terrible voice, personality, or tone of speech. Gagged and Dragged.
