    Thank you to all the service men and women. And the sacrifices for the families waiting for their return. A beautiful voice.

    She sang “Turn down the lights” and with four notes she gave me complete chills and made me cry! She was not average! She’s a tone monster! She can stand flat-footed and just sang a song! She did not move a muscle and commanded the room with the tone of her voice, her choices, and the emotion she brought. Her tone is so warm and soulful and not forced. It’s so smooth. Also her runs and vocal choices were executed so well! I loved the way she dug into and shaped certain word like “dark,” “heart,” and “power.” It just showed she was intentional with her phrasing and knew how to really let the words be the focal point! The way she transitions from the smooth verse and buttery tone to this crazy mixed strong belt is so so impressive!She is my new favorite! The control over her voice is incredible. For me, out of anyone so far, I want to hear her voice on a record.

  • As an Air Force brat, I fully comprehend. Those left behind are the real heros! You have a beautiful voice.
  • @lovewillwar2422
    She’s a song bird. Loved it. Sometimes belters just put me on edge. I love a smooth, emotional, singer.
  • @robertantonnyc
    beautiful tone, right into the emotion. She kept it so small and easy, letting those low notes float out with a pretty upper register. Such a pointed, focused vocal. Nice - So You Wanna Be A Singer

    Her story is like many of us who grew up in the military. Her voice is very unique though and I can see her being in top 10.
