I see a bunch of fat cats licking their lips in anticipation for all the sweet green they can milk from her. RUN! RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK!

Idk...kid has obviously got a great voice but... grow up a little, get an education in music...do it the hard way and THEN we'd be seeing a star and not the next mouthpiece for shitty corporate pop. Good luck girl :3

*femme *1sttube

The first couple lines didn't sound so hot to me but once she got rolling it was quite impressive. It's kind of absurd that she's up there being judged by Britney fucking Spears.

My favorite part, though, was at 0:42 when mom realizes that she's implied that she won't be proud of her daughter unless she succeeds and frantically tries to backtrack.

Adding video to channels (1sttube, Femme) - requested by xxovercastxx.

Damn, she's good!!

It's videos like this that remind one to be truly, truly grateful for the word 'away.'

Was this very recent? No 2nd stage follow up yet?

Hmm, at the very end of the video the black guy said "she had the right songS"...So she performed more than 1 song?

Sing the Muse version I'll be impressed

You know... for harvest.

OK, 2 things really suspicious about this video:

1) I'm *pretty sure* I can hear autotune artifacts (I work with audio / vocalists a lot) and a vocal that is consistently *too* in pitch.

2) Notice at 2:49 the microphone is absolutely miles from her mouth and the vocal is still entirely consistent, no evidence of a change in level or tone that you'd expect a microphone to display (re: proximity effect) - this hints to me at the vocal being pre-recorded. They also cut away at this point which makes me even more suspicious.

Also:

3) The US version of the same show, produced by the same production company, has admitted using autotune: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11056050

This coming from a person who got goosebumps for the amazing TV debut performances of both Alexis Jordan and Bianca Ryan who were both imperfect, but utterly thrilling.

Time has proven that the X-Factor judges (and audience) are impressed by things that I'm not.

1. I think you're hearing things. Specifically, some of her high to low runs and a couple rising melodies beginning with low notes at the bottom of her range are slightly off key. The way she leads into notes using the back of her throat creates a slight buzz that makes her voice sound autotuned.

2. The beginning of the word "butterflies" comes out at a lower volume as she brings the microphone to her face.

The look on Simon's face when she announced her song WAS priceless.

And seriously? Her name is "Carly Rose Sonenclaire"? She was apparently born to be a star. (Literally.)

1) It's the texture of the audio of the vocal and not the pitching that leads me to believe it's auto tune. Autotuning has a sound, and it's not necessarily to do with the pitching of the note. A bit like how tape or MP3s of even a specific type of pre-amp has a specific sound carachteristic.

2) I think that any slight dip in volume is because it's a low note outside of her range, but my point was not to do with volume, but to do with proximity effect. With the exception of omni-directional microphones the frequency response of a microphone changes with distance from the source of the sound- simply put: the further the mic is away from the person's mouth the thinner and less bassy it becomes. Even a change in gain / volume will not mask this.
