Kudos to that manager who recognized her talent and provided the help he could. Amazing!

This song came out shortly before my cat (named monkey) died, and whenever we would hear it after his death, we would always take it as a sign

Artists like this should be the backbone of the music industry. They bust their ass then get noticed for their efforts and hard work...not hey you're pretty, let's autotune you and give you a record deal and a grammy

NO ONE BEATS "PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT"

It's amazing how she became so famous she used to be homeless.
I was homeless once to it was horrible.

She’s right. I remember hearing in the new music segment of The Heidi & Frank Show and I instantly loved it. It was so good they played it twice back to back.

I love this song and your voice! I was bored the other night at the club, picked up my phone and held it to my ear to hear this what a relief! Great pick me up! Thanks!

The first time I heard this song I was feeling down and the song made me temp ignore what was bothering me. I still go back to this song when I need to distract my thoughts

I’m not even a huge fan, but this is how real musicians are made. Fighting against the world to push their art out Amazing and inspired.

Such beautiful eyes. Beautiful girl. Beautiful music

[wisheruk]

It’s been a really strange day I found a hat with loads of cash in it, and then next minute I was being chased by an angry guy with a guitar ☹️

Realmente esta chica tiene mucho para dar....su voz, su estilo simplemente me encantan...me pone de buen humor....por favor cuidenla... No la super exploten.... Como acostumbran a hacer las compañías disqueras....

[Nightmarefuel]

Such a sweetheart she is. So beautiful and bright :)

[mrfranklin]

I knew the song had a deep sad meaning behind....how ironic to have that song explode and have have to play it constantly...

Like a Beautiful Lament....
