Someone forgot to tell her that if you want to go viral and surprise people with your unassuming youthful talent you're supposed to do these videos live, standing in your kitchen, not lip-syncing to a pre-record, spotlit in a smoky studio.

Sounds good! Sure hope this doesn't end up destroying her life. Also, can an 11-year old really sing love/break-up songs?

Guess they couldn't afford heat?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Anyone else see a really young Jessica Alba in her facial expressions? Maybe I'm just crazy.

as a cover its pretty solid, but from an 11 year old its pretty fantastic. upvote

somehow disturbing

[Edit] Lip syncing to a pre-record? I guess you missed the guy behind her playing the guitar? Perhaps you should look up the definition of lip syncing my friend. This is not it.

Holy crapfantastic.

I've watched 3 videos from her now. I'm blown away.
There is something lacking in her delivery... punctuation, syncopation, inflection, rhythm..? I'm not a musician, so I don't know how to explain it.
Regardless, that voice is incredible! She's practically an infant, and I actually might pay money to hear her sing. I can't help but thinking that in another 5 years she will be one of the best vocalists out there... that is if Disney doesn't get a'hold of her.

She lacks the journey. Give her time and she may become a great. I agree with what your saying, but that is what is missing: the true understanding and emotion.

I take the point (but I don't see the relevance of the guitar behind her).
I was going by her proximity to the microphone (too much low end in the signal, unless whe was using an omni, which you certainly wouldn't want to use on a live video shoot in that environment with people moving around etc.*)

Note also that the info on this video says "The audio for this video was recorded live on the ice at the Centennial Sports Plex in Nashville, TN." whereas some of her others are at pains to say: "the audio for this cover was recorded LIVE with the video, in one take, with no pitch correction applied!" or "The audio and video for this recording were recorded simultaneously live with no studio overdubs or autotune." - Which to me also suggests a disconnect of audio and video (even if they we're both done in the same place!).

That said - it's actually irrelevant if it was recorded live or not. The point remains the same: I think a more raw lo-fi recording / video would create more interest rather than the relatively high / polished production values.

We should just be happy she isn't covering Rebecca Black.
