Check out my daughter on you-tube!

[Suzy]

I'm a proud mother, so just thought I'd share with you'll two you-tube clips of my daughting singing and playing guitar. One is Sheryl Crowe's cover of Soak up the Sun, the other, is the hard to do Hotel California, by the Eagles.

[Suzy]

Hey guys, it's Christina here,

Mum just showed me all of your responses and I'm so touched at your kind words of encouragement! I'm really shy about my singing and mum had to really force me to share them around. So to get such positive feed back has been a huge encouragement, I really appreciate it! I was so nervous during hotel california- looking back on it I was like 'WHY DIDN"T I SMILE!?!'
So, sorry if I came across a bit rude in that one, was really worried it looked that way. I did that one especially for mum, the Sheryl Crow one however, I waited to do when they were out, hence the lack of nerves!! :P

So thank you all once again,
Christina :)


From Suzy...
Thanks everyone for your very kind comments.

Warren: Regarding Aust. Idol :lol:, I couldn't imagine her there. I think you need to have nerves of steel and a very thick skin, and then end up going nowhere really when you win :shrug::lol:.

Jen: :lol::lol::lol:

The Hotel California video was really done for my benefit. It's a song her mother :D. When she first started to play guitar, I pleaded with her to learn it so she could play it for me. It's a hard song to play (in the Eagles version, they actually use double fret boards on their guitar). So she had to be playing for a while before she got to the stage of her doing it herself. It's too country for her, so racked with nerves at the tough music, combined with not really being able to get "into it" was a bit a weird for her. She does like the song and plays it often, but not comfortable within in it (as compared to "Soak up the Sun" one.

Christina you really looked like you were much more relaxed in the Sheryl Crow one

[Exfso]

My Partner's neice was a finalist on the latest X-Factor (Hayley), and I reckon your daughter blows her out of the water. What a sweet voice and lovely looking girl. You must be so very proud of her.:eyepop:

[Octane]

2x :thumbsup:

[jjjnettie]

I knew you'd appreciate her talent H. :)

[cybereye]

She's a star!! (I just couldn't resist the astronomical pun!) But seriously, Christina is very, very good... no wonder you're so proud Suzy. :)

Cheers,
Mario

Suzy/Christina

I downloaded the video (480p version) and fixed it...

I'll PM with a private location for you to download the sync'd video.

OIC!

[leon]

Wow just watched that as we had run out of internet time earlier, that was awesome, :eyepop: you should be proud alright, ;) she will go a long way, super stuff, get ready for the phone calls.:) :)

Leon :thumbsup:

[Hagar]

Great stuff Suzy, She looks great and has a lovely voice. I have lived through a very similar thing with my youngest daughter. She was music mad and now is a music teacher, she is currently in England teaching music. She ended up doing a degree in classical voice and a degree in teaching which gives her a lot of options in life.
Good luck with her future. Looks pretty good so far.

[danielsun]

Wow Suzy! That was great! you should be so proud. Your daughter is very talented with the potential to go all the way!

Cheers Daniel.

[RobF]

*Choke* She's gorgeous Suzy - and with a wonderful voice to match. I'd say you have good reason to be a doting mum! :) :thumbsup:

[starlooker]

Magnificent! I really enjoyed her performances. :thumbsup: And she obviously got her good looks from her mum. :D

[Paddy]

She's really got a great voice. Fantastic!

[casstony]

I'm envious Suzy - I have no singing/musical skill. I expect your daughter will gain a lot of personal satisfaction from her talents throughout her life, performing for family and friends.

[Suzy]

Many thanks everyone for all those kind comments, looking, and in sharing my excitement. I'm so overjoyed and touched by all your responses! And so is Chrissy! And some of your sweet comments made me *blush* :ashamed: :lol:.

:thanx: OIC for fixing the timing, Chrissy will deal with it today. She was very appreciative of the help, and made a comment of how nice the people are on here. I responded back very proudly in agreement.:)

Tony: She's no fun to play singstar with.:mad2: She used to always get "singstar" while I got told I was "tone deaf". The only song I ever matched her upon was Boy George's "Karma Chameleon" :rolleyes:. And plenty of stuff that I'd just throw the mike down in exasperation as they were so hard. :rolleyes:l I'm sure I sound like a cat in misery :rolleyes::lol:, she doesn't get her talent from me :screwy:.

But mostly of what I'm truly proud of is her guitar playing. She's still learning of course, but she's come a long way, just in 12 months. I have always loved strings, and I have always had plenty of music in the house, so Christina was pretty much brought up on a love for it. But to actually here beautiful guitar strings, live in my home .... words cannot express ... I'll often drop whatever I'm doing, and listen and just take it in.
She's into everything... from Chuck Berry, Sinatra, Hendrix, jazz etc to current - a wonderfully large range of music genres. From the time she was a wee toddler (to today) I used to give her pop quizzes by asking who is singing when a song comes on. And to this day she still mixes up Neil Diamond & Jon English :screwy::lol:
