I would never... When my oldest told me he wanted to enlist.. I told him no son cause in the future they aren't gonna take care of you.. he didn't care and did 4 years in the national guard.. he started having seizures so they kicked him out.. luckily he got over his sadness of them throwing him away.. and went to the police academy... Hopefully they will take care of him more❤❤❤❤ I pray to God
My son was so depressed.. he had enlisted for 6 years... He didn't make it cause he started having those seizures... And they got rid of him so quick... It's a disgrace...
The world is so full of horrible sounds of angry people, broken people, war machines, cars, trains, planes, etc. The never-ending cacophony of modern life. it cries out desperately for the counter frequencies of beautiful sounds. Even if you only sing in the shower or your back yard, please, by all you hold sacred, keep singing!!! You have a remarkable talent, and the world absolutely needs to hear your amazing healing voice!!! Keep putting it out there! Wow!! What a voice!!
If this is how she sounds curled into herself and not feeling so confident, can you imagine how she sounds when she's open and comfortable singing in front of people?! Goodness sake! That was sensational!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
HELLZ YEA Was thinking same when she didn't have that little rhythmic jump or swing in the high note (@ 5:32) might be just her style or in experience or like you said shes young & unconfident. Oh I see she found that swing/bounce/shuffle immediately after that WOAH !!! My bad.
Those guidance counselors aren’t the only ones who WANT to hear you sing girl, we all WANT to hear you sing!! You’re a star in the making! ⭐️ Let your light shine girl.
Oh my! I love that she didn't even open her eyes or care she was transported into her own little world and blessing us all with her voice. It makes me cry when parents just ruin their children's destiny & she is destined to sing.... her raw emotion touched my heart & soul & brought me to tears. Absolutely amazing 👏 🤩
I hated that she just walked off and left without knowing if there would be follow up. I pray that the moments that she sang have transformed her life and have given her the confidence she needs to move forward. God love her! She is amazing and deserves to be heard by everyone!
Yes, when religion is handled and expressed inappropriately. It's so sad. Now I belong to a church where everyone is happy and positive. But I don't deny that some nasty people go to church, and use religion as a smokescreen to hide their evil souls. And I don't deny that some churches miss the point of standing for good, positive things.
The perfect voice for the voiceless. Authentic, Rich, Meaningful, AND SUCH A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!! 🌬🎶🎼🎵💕💞 That girl is farrrrr from an industry plant. She is a ROCKSTAR! 🎉❤
Thank you so much! It's amazing how much talent is all around us, often hidden in everyday places. I am glad we can help bring some of those voices to light and share them with everyone.
Have you ever played in L.A. along the bike trail by the Ballona Creek Bridge? Like in 2020? I think I may have seen you once, before I had ever seen your channel. I wonder what would have happened if I had stopped. 🤔 Next time. Next time.
This angel's voice has been stuck with me ever since hearing it. I went to sleep hearing it, woke up hearing it, and came back here to hear it again. This Shy Girl isnt going to be a star, she already is one. The world has no idea what they're about to discover when she decides to come out with her own music. I love the girl, love the song. She's just amazing!! "...and are you busy..." That line just keeps replaying in my mind for some reason.
Same... Her Bravery & God Given Talent Set Her Free When She Choose To Share It... What A Beautiful Happening I Hope She Never Stops Singing It's God's Gift To Her & Hers To Humanity
Leila, I have Goosebumps up and down my arms on my back!!! Girl your voice needs to be explored and sung out in the open because you are amazing! Please don't stop here Please keep singing.
I love how she started off so nervous and then the music took over. It was like she forgot about the street and the people. Then, she was finished and she was very shy again. She's so talented! I want to hear more music from her!!! Good luck, Leila! ❤
Leila, this was a performance from your soul! The colour, the range, the control!, the way you made the song yours, gave your performance a 4-chair turn feel to it. No wonder your counsellors encouraged you to sing. I'll be very proud of you now! Keep believing in the talent God has given you.
@@noradc I truly endorse your opinion about Leila getting a 4 chair turn. I do believe that she'd make a lot of people proud if she decides to go on "The Voice".I can only imagine how good she'd feel by being mentored by one of the coaches.
When Leila started singing, I genuinely wanted to cry. I could hear the many many times she practiced this song, all on her own, in her bedroom wishing she had someone to listen to her. (Not that she doesn’t have anybody) I could hear how naturally the lyrics fell from her lips, like how a honeybee makes its honey. Her voice is so sweet and emotional, it makes me want to sing along with her. I really wish her father hadn’t demeaned her in the way he did. Best wishes to you and to Leila. I know she’ll grow to become a star someday. ALSO WHEN SHE HIT THAT HIGH NOTE??????? HELLO???????????????? IVE BEEN TRYING TO HIT A NOTE LIKE THAT MY WHOLE LIFE. HOW DID SHE DO THAT?????????? IT WAS AMAZING!!! Her dad seriously has no clue what he just missed out on. (DO NOT even get me started on the vibrato. I WILL go on a tangent.)
She sings like a bird ❤. So soft and lovely. Her Dad did her a great injustice by not letting her sing. I wish her nothing but the best in her pursuit of music
I had traditional parents, in the way of 1970’s thinking all I should do is go to school, learn secretarial skills, go to work at some dead end secretarial job… I just wanted to sing! I’m 60yo, have sung in the chorus of an opera group, was in 3 church choirs back in the day, but the negativity of my parents still haunted me. Leila don’t let this be you! Get out there, do something to help you attain your dreams! You’ve got a lovely voice!
I'm a bit younger but pretty much the same story. Only I wasn't even allowed to be in the choir either. And I love singing. To this day i wish I could get voice lessons.
Same for me but with ballet. I had the immaculate body of a dancer and loved to do it. I loved to watch it when I was a kid and even practiced most of the moves and got them with no guidance well lessons began at school and I told my grandmother and she scoffed. Said it was “stupid”. But made me take piano lessons that I wasn’t any good at for years bc she always wanted to play. Parents and guardians please LISTEN to ur children when they say what they are passionate about bc you might crush their confidence and feel “stupid” from then on. It also definitely would have given me the discipline I so desperately needed!!!
@@geraldinelafayette1838I am sorry. Many parents/grandparents want the children to live through them and not nurture the child's true talent or gift. I was always obsessed with watching ballet, but wanted to sing myself. I am sorry that you did not pursue your dream of ballet 🥺 If the adults only knew what they were doing to our souls... sad. Thank you for sharing 💗
WOW!!!!!!!!!! I didn't want her to stop singing. Thats the most beautiful voice ive heard in a long time.... shes definitely Blessed with a gifted voice 💝💫🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Wow. I was watching this on my TV and had to jump on the computer to comment. This young lady is an artist. She brought something new and fresh to a melody that has been sung by a thousand people before her. Wonderful performance and I hope this is the beginning of something great for her. All the best!!
I'm so sorry you were ever discouraged from letting your light shine. You and your voice are beautiful, and your sound is so soothing to the soul. Keep on singing and shining.
She sounded so good and so comfortable I forgot I was watching someone who doesn't perform regularly and found it so easy to listen to. I hope she pursues her singing!
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="500">8:20</a> Beautiful 🤩 she was so stoked, she ran off like Cinderella 🛼 I hope & I’m sure she will be back to credit you kind sir 🫶
This is one of the purest, most beautiful, spontaneous interactions between two unknown individuals that I have ever had the pleasure to witness. Why can't the entire world be like this. Nothing more beautiful and didn't cost anyone a cent...but was worth millions in payment to everyone's soul. God bless you both. Every time I watch this it brings tears to my eyes because it is so pure and heartfelt.
That was the best. She sang Valerie so beautifully, and I don’t even know that song. I’m so glad that she got to belt that song out and I hope she starts singing more often. I really enjoyed it, I could feel the vibe.
My gawd .. she gave me goosebumps ! What a voice . She sang with so much feeling and hit those notes that impacts one’s soul . I hope she gets discovered thru this channel .
Don’t ever discourage your children. It can hurt and damage them to their soul. My children always know that I’m rooting for them every step of the way. They’re confident and proud of their selves which goes a long way in the real world
Dear Leila.. I hope you continue to conquer stage fright and being witnessed.. because your vibes bring so much beauty to the world around you. You're an absolute joy ❤
Your story brings tears to my eyes , like rn typing this comment tears are streaming. My son's story is so much like yours aside from what your father did. Starting with your guidance counselors wanting you to sing and play guitar. My son just graduated High school and he can play the hell out of a guitar because of his school guidance counselors and the music teacher . He joined the marching band , played guitar and sang and he still does . Your voice chilled me to my bones . You're not only beautiful but you're EXTREMELY talented. Keep that spirit. Keep singing PLEASE! Start a RU-vid channel if you haven't already. Thank you for stopping and singing for the world. I know everyone got enjoyment out of listening to you. God bless and remember to please keep that spirit. Much love and all the happiness ❤❤❤❤❤❤
BTW, you, Guitaro 5000, are a true gift for anyone who loves music. Thank you for sharing your gift of kindness, compassion, and talents with the rest of us. I hope you realize how many lives you change by doing what you do. Many hugs go to you!
Dang!! FEAR CONQUERED AND DEFEATED!! i get the fear but when you face it and blow it out of the water like she did , it leaves you with an indescribable feeling that only vocalists understand. This girl is absolutely phenomenal!! I hope you go far girly!
When I first heard her choice I said to me: again? But I had to redempt myself. I've never heard this song in this particular version 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I loved it ❤❤❤
Omg! She is SO good! Follow your dreams Leila! You have too beautiful of a voice to not share that with others. I would like to know if her dad ever saw this video & was in awe of her voice & that he is now praising her beautiful voice, instead of making her feel bad. With a voice like that...be proud & sing for everyone to hear. Hope to hear you singing again.
WOW ! Girls got some pipes! The crowd absolutely adored that performance and you could literally see her take in all that positive energy. Her face absolutely lit up
What an absolute angel, im so happy her guidance councillors encourage her. She has a beautiful voice, she made the song her own too. Thos young girl definitely has soul and a beautiful voice. I hope she persues her singing, she's a ray of sunshine 🌞 ❤❤❤
Reggie if the world had more and more people like you... The Empathy and opening you provide people for self expression is priceless. Healing and Joy through music and dance is such a gift. Bless you, for well...being you
I love what you do. You comfort people, take them by the hand and help them make the first step out of their comfort zone and you show them how great they are. I hope this sweet human will never ever stop singing again. She's awesome. She made my day, I am happy and I'd love to have a CD from her for my downer-days and my happy days, because her voice is so soothing and friendly and sweet. ❤
OMGeeee! This girl is singing from her SOUL!!! Amazing breakout performance and I’m feeling her vibes! I hope she keeps it up. Such a beautiful tone to her voice. SO good!
Girl you brought tears to my eyes. U dont even know how good u are. Dont stop singing u have such a unique beautiful voice. Im so glad I saw this video.
I did as well. Leila's voice and her delivery are both so beautiful. It is rare, for me, when a voice brings me to tears. Leila, you are a phenom! I want to hear more!!! We all do 😍
Hey Reggie 😎 I love what you do, and have seen every video. Most more than a few times. This one, with Layla was pure magic! The way you offered the slower version gave her room/space to really show her range and true voice! Please let Layla know that I think she has a spectacular voice, and to please keep singing. Keep up the great work, Reggie
