I love this song!

Your voice has a pretty tone and you conveyed so much emotion in your singing. :]
I think that the part after the "And I know it's only in my mind..." should be louder and more dramatic.
Part of the reason is that your sound comes from your throat, so support your voice with your diaphragm.

Good job, I enjoyed listening to you. :]

I'm sorry but I just can't help comparing this to Lea Salonga's version. When you sing broadway songs like this, you just need more power and control. You were trying really hard to reach those notes. It even sounds like you're straining your voice. You were missing those wonderful, deep vibratos that make up the song. Here's Lea Salonga: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuS1cCnG8xc

I'm not saying that you cannot sing, but I'm just being picky especially with a classical piece like this.

You probably sound great singing mainstream pop songs. Anyway, good job.

Your voice is very crisp and sounds heartfelt. I can feel the growth of the story inside the lyrics when you sing. It would have been a very captivating performance to see live. (: I tend to not like people's covers of broadway songs but yours was pleasant. I didn't expect to hear it sung in full-voice so to say, but you made it your own, and you passed~~ ^^;; I could feel the emotion.

I think... out of the years I've been here at soompi, your voice has been one of the most impressive that I've heard because it's strong and proud and you're comfortable in your skin to sing however you like, however you feel it'd sound best. And I like your guitar playing clips ^^

I agree on quite a few points with MsIbTRiPPiN (but I'm a broadway freak too). Your voice sound nice when it's not strained, probably suitable for pop covers and mainstream music more. I do think you are quite passionate, the "acting" aspects and emotions conveyed are good.

I also listened to your other songs

you are very talented.

one of my favorite songs of broadway everrrr. and the lea salonga version is definitely a favorite. i'm a huge lea salonga fan! haha
but i think you did a really good job! your voice is so smooth and pretty! but i agree that it's not really powerful enough for broadway. excellent job though xD!
