    My 3 year old daughter has to do this song for her church program so we came looking on here and happened upon your video. She LOVES it. You did a very good job and she wants to watch it all the time. We must have watched it fifty time. Thanks for posting!

    Awesome job of catching the spirit of the original song - and what a GREAT voice! You don't hear people sing like that anymore without vo-coders!

    My 3 year old daughter loves this video and thinks the lady signing it is a princess. She always says she wants "the hippo song with the princess"!

    It's definitely true that one can tell from this performance that she was a good, trained, adult voice. She's using it here to sound like a child's which is not easy to do, for an adult. I expect that she must also have a number of other songs, recordings, and performances that display the vocal training and talent.

    This is Jennifer. Just to generally set the record straight, I wasn't trying to sing like Gayla Peevy or anyone else. Because I am so short I have often portrayed kids on stage. When I sing in my "child" voice this is what it sounds like. So I take it as a compliment that people think I sound like Gayla Peevy, but I wasn't TRYING to sound like her.

    This is her husband. This was for a show. It goes along with the "Girls Christmas Dance" video I have on here. I sincerly appreciate the compliments about her voice. For those questioning her age...she is in her twenties. This was the only number during the show where she portrayed a "child". It's called acting, people...If you still find that to be strange, I suggest you check out the show "Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?"

  • @jstraub78
    @jstraub78  13 лет назад

    If you guys like this, check out her singing "How Great Thou Art" or "Suddenly Seymour". Those show off her vocal range better. Also, "Anything You Can Do I Can do Better" is really good. Of course, I'm her hubby, so I'm a bit biased. She did perform for a professional dinner theater though and has performed alongside Sally Struthers and Sherman Hemsley (The Jeffersons).

    They are only questioning her age because she's a really good performer, and it's hard to tell. Very cute!! She totally looks like a little girl all excited about telling her parent what she wants :)

    @jstraub78  14 лет назад

    @Chikeedee461 it was actually a black leotard that all the girls wore in this show. This was the only song that she portrayed a "child". See "Girls Christmas Dance" for a more age-appropriate performance.

    This is her husband.... Thanks guys for all the wonderful compliments you've given Jenn on this song. I know it really means a lot to her to get feedback! This seems to be the most searched song of hers right now (probably because of being Christmas-time), however, if you liked this one, I suggest you check out her Annie Get your Gun performances and her rendition of How Great Thou Art. Suddenly Seymour is one of my faves too. Thanks again, guys!

    Her voice quality is very close to Gaylen Peevy in this vid. She's good! and very animated which is what does this song justice. Great job Jennifer! 5stars!

    I'm 37 on Thanksgiving, and I'll probably end up singing this song for Karaoke at some time this year... :D

  • @jstraub78
    @jstraub78  15 лет назад

    For everyone who is wondering...I was 28 when I sang this song....now I'm 30 :) Oh, and I'm only 4'9", so I'm always typecast as a kid! ~Jenn

  • @jstraub78
    @jstraub78  15 лет назад

    wanshei, that response was more for futuredriverforETS. I appreciate your compliments. As I said, I take it as a compliment that people think I sound like Gayla Peevy in this song, though its just more of a coincidence rather than me trying to imitate her. That's just how I sing little kid songs :)

  • @jstraub78

    @wanshei 15 лет назад

    Perhaps reading comprehension is beyond you but you restated exactly what i said. Maybe i should have said it a bit more simpler so even you could understand it. Ive seen this song redone like someone was trying to sing "Over the Rainbow" = epic fail. Jennifers voice does this song justice its great! She sounds like Gayla was my point. I hope you "Get Hooked on Phonics" for xmas.

  • @wanshei
    @wanshei 15 лет назад

    I didnt say that you were trying to sound like Gayla (wow this is really getting out of control having to defend a compliment) i said that your voice quality does the song justice because it sounds like Gayla. The song was not meant to be sung like Over the Rainbow. its supposed to be fun and bouncy etc. If you read my original compliment on how well did that song.
    And being 4'9"... well i wont go there, i happen to be VERY fond of short gals. Im only 5'10" hardly big. And you look great.
