it's hard to hear how good she is with such a crap mic and set up, imagine her in a studio.

I only listened to that one and the keyboard one, but from what I heard she was hitting the notes with no hesitation or sliding around to reach one.


I wouldn't say perfect pitch but she is waaaaay more than a decent singer. With the subtle runs she did in the last song, I'd say she has a very, very good understanding of music.


Singing's shaky on 'Poker Face' though. She hits nice longer, more full notes, but to me she's not one of those singers that's just effortless in their ability, that isn't capable of anything but pure, full tones and perfect pitch on even the really brief notes. But what do I know. lol

It's just too low for her in some parts, otherwise she's on key. It's not like you have to have an 8 octave range to be a really talented singer. Like I said, I don't really get perfect pitch from her(and the audio isnt that great)...but it looks pretty effortless for her to me.

Loads of interest in iPhones and technology and bad music will get you there, but she's not the musician per se.





She's hot though. I'd still bang her.

Many of the words in the very first line she sings are slightly out of tune. lol It's very subtle though. Dodgy note singing 'heart' at 2:07. 'My' in 'can't read my' at 3:05 is off. Same with 'can't read my' a few second later. Just a few examples, and I'm being picky of course, but only because of ZK's post. Otherwise if I watched the vid I'd just think she has a very good singing voice. I think the whole iPhone thing is gimmicky, but each to their own. Clearly it does require some skill to do that.

perfect pitch means she knows which note she has to hit - she has a good enough ear to know nod you would be surprised at the number of singers (some who do it professionally, who do not even realise they are singing in a different key wacky )
I'm not talking about her range which is actually probably quite limited but that's usually beyond someone's control to a degree, even if they have training

I have perfect pitch by the way but am a hopeless singer, but I can play anything on the keyboard after only hearing it (although badly lol )

i.e. You know when you sing out of tune, as do I, and as possibly does Apple Girl. smile I am no great shakes at singing either, but it's weird thinking about people who don't *KNOW* they're singing out of tune or are singing in tune but in the wrong key. lol Hard to get your head around.

Can you name a solitary note played on a piano without seeing it played? That's pretty cool.

I'm no good with the names, but I can sing the note and when I play it it's right. Also I will sing a song then play the CD and I'm in the right key woot!

Leo sings and composes music but he often comes to me and says how can he make it sound better. Usually by taking out all the C sharps falloff he can't tell which note is incorrect - lucky he has me the harmony nazi to help out neutral

She would be good at karaoke.
She is cute and slightly talented, if she had some original material and the right back up, she has some possibilities. But I wouldn't sign her as is.

All that really matters is, if she put out a single or an album, would you consider buying it?
