Scott Timiney...It was likely a cheap tape recorder. I like the sound in gymnasiums. I bet it sounded great to the people in the room, who broke into applause.
The world is full of people with gifts who never get to reach a lot of audiences…. Lack of work ethic, dumb luck, can’t take rejection, all the thieves in the biz, self inflicted wounds. I likely a prime example. But it’s a joy to hear a gift like this that is nurtured
Not only does she sound great, but she is covering one of my favorite songs!! And look how proud her mommy is at the end!! Can't wait to see her in Waitress next month. ❤️
WOW..... her fellow students in the background had no idea who they were listening to. Her voice was incredible even then. I agree, she is perfect without any surgical enhancements.
Apple was doing some kind of unannounced live stream test from Cupertino today. Someone threw this video up on the giant screen of the Steve Jobs theater and played it in its entirety.
She sounds amazing at that age! And Kortney, if that's you behind Sara checking your nails throughout the song and not being able to care less about being there, you're hilarious!
This reminds me of my first time on stage in elementary school for tryouts of a musical they were going to perform, the woman stopped,playing the piano, turned to me and said ”who told you, you could sing”. Thank you Ma, they demolished the building shortly after.
What your dad recorded, was just a taste in how her future is going to be. Beautiful. Not just her but her voice too. Who else went to your school, john legend, john mayer or how about Jason mraz hahaha. Lucky u guys got to witness before her fame. :0) Have a good day.
mrsjamat86 I go to both the middle and high school she went to, she actually just donated like 25000 to the high school to rebuild the music room. I same her at a play I went to, and I know her younger sister pretty amazing
There are a handful of kids with naturally good singing voices, but what doesn't show up in this video is the talent she would later develop as a composer, comedienne, actress. All that and she's a nice person as well.
You could see how mature and how well she could control her voice at such a young age is remarkable ♥️♥️♥️
i bet that music teacher is BEAMING these days with the deserving stardom Sara has achieved !!
That music teacher is my close family friend! Mrs Diaz. So cool to have found this.
My English teacher directed Sara in a play and she was her English teacher
@Bill Ding the constructor lol, what? She already did, for ‘Saint Honesty’ as the Best American Roots Performance in 2020.
Wow! That voice way back then. She was destined to succeed. Congratulations Sara.
In a Jr. High gym with a cheap mike and horrible acoustics, she sounds like the accomplished artist she is today! Incredible!

Welcome to the 90's children, when the gymnasium was your choir hall, lunch room, and orchestra pit.
wait, that's no longer the case?!
@@bandwagoncaptain yeah...like.....these places still exist.....I don't get that statement at all LOL
My theater/stage with terrible accoustics!
I can’t stop staring at the mean girl behind her making rude expressions and SO deliberately ignoring her. 🤣 I hope she’s apologized since!!
What a talent! Her pitch is perfect ever since. This is gold.
WOW!! She had an incredible voice even then!
At the end her mom looks so proud!! love love love
She is a eureka legend she grew up in my town and she is a true star. So glad that she made it!
baby Sara makes me so happy omg and her family being so proud is adorable
Seriously, how on earth you guys find this treasures? SHE LOOKS SO CUTE

😱😱😱 Sara singing Expose I'll never get over you getting over me is EVERYTHING!!
Wow, I didn't even remember who performed this, it's just always been there as part of my life. 🎶
She was clearly born with that golden voice.
The world is full of people with gifts who never get to reach a lot of audiences…. Lack of work ethic, dumb luck, can’t take rejection, all the thieves in the biz, self inflicted wounds.
I likely a prime example. But it’s a joy to hear a gift like this that is nurtured
@@TimMeyerMusicBeautifully spoken. Thank you.
She looks exactly the same lol I'm glad she didn't change her look with plastic surgery. She's perfect the way she is.
udubdave VERY true! She is GORGEOUS! :)
She looks pretty different to me. much older and yes, gorgeous
True! But she did struggle with her appearance for awhile!
In an instant, she had captured my heart. Again.

Not only does she sound great, but she is covering one of my favorite songs!! And look how proud her mommy is at the end!! Can't wait to see her in Waitress next month. ❤️

Apple was doing some kind of unannounced live stream test from Cupertino today. Someone threw this video up on the giant screen of the Steve Jobs theater and played it in its entirety.

You cried? It was really good but it wasnt exellent enough to make me cry. 👊
OMG!!! she's singing my favorite Selena song!!! hell yeah!!! you go girl!
I just listened to Selena's remake of the Expose original. Selena did a good job.

Wait. The original Selena or Selena Gomez?
Gilbert Quintana the only one that matters, obviously 😒😊
What an awesome share! Thanks for posting this. (y)
To sing in your own school to your peers, that takes guts!
Wow. From a school gym to a Grammy winning recording artist/Being on Broadway
This is awesome!
is that selena gomez bored in the backround
umm, I doubt it. They are like 15 years apart.
Lol
I LOVE THIS💜💜
She sounds amazing at that age! And Kortney, if that's you behind Sara checking your nails throughout the song and not being able to care less about being there, you're hilarious!
Eghads! Mrs. Diaz looks like such a prude! ;-)
BAHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! not as much as Coach Ball did! :-)
The kid's really got something...she could go places😊
I Love You Sara!
Omg that song!
This reminds me of my first time on stage in elementary school for tryouts of a musical they were going to perform, the woman stopped,playing the piano, turned to me and said ”who told you, you could sing”. Thank you Ma, they demolished the building shortly after.
What your dad recorded, was just a taste in how her future is going to be. Beautiful. Not just her but her voice too. Who else went to your school, john legend, john mayer or how about Jason mraz hahaha. Lucky u guys got to witness before her fame. :0)
Have a good day.
mrsjamat86 I go to both the middle and high school she went to, she actually just donated like 25000 to the high school to rebuild the music room. I same her at a play I went to, and I know her younger sister pretty amazing
How have I never seen this before?? *Chills*
She absolutely crushed a really, really tough song to sing.
Looook at thaaaat, baby Bareilles!!! =D=D=D
That girl could go places
I agree Your Music Teacher must be so proud
how old was she here? I guess 15-16? So cute and what a voice even back then!
Jr. high would be about 13.
Even then, she was fantastic.
...& please don’t forget to vote for Andrea Bonfante 2020!!
There are a handful of kids with naturally good singing voices, but what doesn't show up in this video is the talent she would later develop as a composer, comedienne, actress. All that and she's a nice person as well.
Thank u for this video..
