She’s fantastic, but have they no dentists in that country?

BUMP
Not only does she sing well, but Faryl seems to be a quite nice and normal 12-year-old with a good family.

Thanks for posting this.

[purpleraine]

Indeed!!!!! Thank you very much.

I don’t know anything about vocal instruction, but I believe that she should not be pushed too far too fast. She needs to nurture her talent first rather than cash in right away. It is my understanding that the voice can be ruined through abuse. Maybe someone else on this site knows more about this than I do.

Wow... Ave Maria... goosebumps for sure.

[Professional Engineer]

Wow!!!

[Kimmers]

At the age of 12 to have that much grace and poise and incredible talent.....her parents did something right.....

[EverOnward]

Hopefully, we’ll hear a lot more from Faryl Smith. Thank you!

I guess I have a higher standard.

What is amazing is the stunned, in-love look on the faces of the audience and the judges. Simon looks like he’s been hit on the head with a two-by-four. People in the audience had their mouths open. And the lady judge (who is that? she is charming, much nicer than Paula)—you could see her catch her breath in awe.

Anyone else notice that Simon is much much nicer on the UK version of this program than on American Idol? Clearly the the market research shows that Brits don’t go in for the nasty stuff and Americans do. What does that say about the American Idol target audience?

Sorry Dawg – “You were kind of pitchy”.

Seriously. Sorry but her performance wasn’t really wasn’t all that good IMHO. In fact it was not very good at all and rather painful to listen to. She was very pitchy and out of tune in several places and while she doesn’t have a bad voice for someone who is supposedly 12 –years old with no formal voice training, she’s very far from having a true operatic voice.

This 12 year old girl’s voice is much better in my opinion but still even she has a long way to go in developing a mature operatic voice but perhaps she has a better voice and more potential if she gets the right training.

Ping. As I travel this week, I have no list. Please help!

[PapaBear3625]

Truly impressive voice. If she retains it into adulthood, I see a big future for her

Faryl Smith is very talented. I hope she continues to develop her voice, so some day she will be spoken of together with these women:
