D'atra has ALWAYS been the real deal. Not many vocalist like her out there. Passion , pitch, control , and breathing is crazy. Believable vocals that can make you give up your credit card. I love her, always will and will always support her name!!!.

she’s singing it for the play, playing a part so she is singing the song but of course to go along with her character and the story. Where as Coco is singing it straight through for a concert. There’s a difference!
