This 8 year old has a promising career ahead of her.

Don't want to be the bad news guy, but I'm pretty sure there's a bit of Auto tune going on there with the high notes... She does have an amazing voice though...

14 octave range? - Hardly. In fact she didn't hit any of the high notes in the song at all.
And there is no way her voice could hit the lower octaves.

Roy Orbison had a 3-4 octave range and was considered one of the best. I have no idea where the claim she can hit14 octaves - That's absurd

When you have an octave that means that the two notes are exactly 8 notes apart, hence the "oct" part in the word. This means that the octave of D is D. You count 8 notes from the starting note. i.e.

D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D= 8 notes all together

From my understanding of autotune (everyone's on the internet's an expert, right?), as this is a single track recording, if someone bent her voice, it would also bend the keyboards, so she'd still be out of tune, and the keyboards would sound wrong to boot. The other possibility is that the video is overdubed from a two-track recording with the vocals autotuned, which I'm also doubtful of, given how close the video matches the audio (still an expert). One thing I'm not an expert in is detecting subtly autotuned songs by ear, so I can't speak to that.

I think a description revision might be necessary. Thanks for the input on this!

Based on what exactly? I mean really, could you back that up with anything at all?

Nope, I'm afraid I don't have any proof. Just my experience - I actually hope its her real voice because its truly incredible... her voice is very stable throughout the song, and I got the suspicion when she hit the high notes on the second, third and fourth chorus. she was literally screaming the notes, but the sound was extremely stable with not even one tone out of place. Even professional singers would have a hard time achieving that.
Another thing that raised my suspicion was the soft echo she had throughout the song - which either means a crappy sound in the room she was singing or that somebody turned on the echo effect on low.

But this is what the internet is for, right? SKEPTICISM!
I did say she has an amazing voice though...

Definitely hearing some autotune in there... I also hear a lot of technical skill with little of the heart and soul needed to 'make it'.

Hope this girl enjoys piano because she's got a promising career teaching it to young hopefuls like herself...
