Is tonight talent night?

[Corgigal]

Well, I want to enter this young lady. What say you?

1. I heartily second that nomination. This is a freaking AWESOME cover!

My gosh, with that voice, along with her eyes, smile, and flawless skin, with what looks like little or no makeup ...

I'd say if she can write music at all, she's got serious 'Star' potential.

And hey, I checked and she's 20, so I'm allowed to say she's beautiful

[Corgigal]

2. Yeah, amazing right?

I asked my daughter, who knows more about the musical equipment she is using, is that little gal really singing that? Is there something in her microphone digitally assist her. My daughter didn’t think so, believes it’s really her. I’m sure we should see her around soon then.

4. It's not a completely dry vocal recording (not totally without effects) but I don't think there's

any significant digital 'correction' (auto-tune type of things) going on.

3. I call fake

I’m a recording tech.

You have to stay absolutely motionless in front of the microphone or it’s going to cause all sorts of problems with changing levels and phase shifts. The way she’s bouncing around the recording would be useless.

5. I'd say it's an multi-directional condenser mic, with some compression in the chain, myself.

I.E. I don't think it's 'fake'.

It's not totally dry of course but she's singing that, I'm 99% sure.

And I think the 'assistance' is fairly minimal.

6. Thanks.

I really don’t know. However, if true I’m sure someone will scoop her up. If fake, or digitally enhanced then YouTube it is. This little lady already has 13 million views for a short time being up.

Thanks for your input, it does make sense.

7. I've accounted for several dozen of those YouTube views over the past few months

I have no idea whether there's any technological enhancements to her performance. Listening to it brings me pure joy regardless!

[Corgigal]

8. Would be nice,

to have a Stevie voice back, kind of. Just a wish.

9. So let's see her do something else and judge

[Corgigal]

10. Read on YouTube

That the Jonah Brothers just signed her. Is it true? I don’t know, but if she sounds this good really, we will hear from her again. If she goes into the business, hope she stays healthy.

11. Aw! She's adorable!

Helluva voice, too, lip-sync or not.
