Looks like she's miming to me.

Leroy I am presently working at this school. I can assure you she is not miming. I'm currently doing the school dvd's for their Christmas plays and she sang this song at the start of the shows. I wish i could put the videos up to prove to you but unfortunately wouldn't be allowed, but believe me Kaylee is a wee star and everytime she sings its just like this!

Angers me that you even made that comment tbh

Edited for spelling mistakes apologies wrote very quickly

Talented kid. I guess that's the video that Jonathan Ross will wheel-out in about ten years' time when she's sat on his sofa!

'thought you were miming' its quite a compliment if you stop and consider it for a moment. Singer is that good as to sound the voice has been recorded for quality and playback miming.

Wonderful voice, reminds me a little of Julie Covington

[robt350c]

Awesome, very moving performance of the song. Give them a Christmas no.1 - bit late I suppose....

The kids in the background are worth watching.

We can only hope!

To be fair, from what I remember, this one's not even close to how good Church was at that sort of age. Or Hayley Westenra and possibly others.

Edited to add, again in the interests of fairness, I hear the young lady is autistic, so that must have been a huge challenge to stand up and sing. Good for her!!
