Good Luck!

I really hope you enjoy all of it, the attention, working with producers, and the whole surreal aura to it all :D

I'll be voting every day, for all 3 weeks, and like I said in my other post, with the kind of dedication that only you deserve. :)

Hey, you don't need a contest.. you've already won, just by singing the way you do!
When was it that you came to Europe?? ;-)
Good luck,

That song was beautiful, and I like the way you did the lighting, I thought it fit the song you sang.

Have lots of fun in L.A.!!!

You're coming to my town. If you're feeling drained by all the excitement of the video craziness, head over to the Border's Books on Ventura in Sherman Oaks. I make the best chai tea latte.

I'll be voting everyday. Good luck!

What an awesome experience you must be having right now. I hope that the music director will properly incorporate your personality into the video. Your current music video is already pretty cute.

Will we get to see the music video before the end of the contest or do we have to wait? =/

If you go on a European tour you're taking me with you! You need someone to carry your cables.

If you just bought a camera what have you been using to record your YouTube videos just a laptop?

Keep up the great work! You're going to have a lot of success. Have fun in LA!

Kina, great video today! i think that the blacked out bathroom was a nice touch.. ;)

I cant wait to see your music video. Are you allowed to tell us any details about it? I agree with jesse b, I really hope that they let you use some of your uniqueness(?) in the video. In order to truly appreciate your music the world really needs to see what makes Kina so special and different then all those other artist. Thats my opinion at least..

@cg, I think she has been using her iSight camera that is built in to the lid of her MacBook.. Correct me if I'm wrong..?

Have a great time in LA!

Oh, and I see you made it to the front page of Digg again!! Nice... Just on the off chance that you didn't see it (there is small chance, right?) heres the link:

Kina,

Name an artist, CD, or song we, your fans, might be surprised to find in your collection.

All the best,

Alan

@ j.c.
It is pretty cool another Kina story made it to the front page. It's nice to see all the support. There is though some nasty comments. People are entitled to their opinions but some people are just blatantly disrespectful. Are you with me cleaning some of these up?

kina -- so proud of you!!!! you are amazing. keep rocking it. :)

Jesse, I compleatly agree, after I left the post here I went through and read the comments on digg. I could not belive what I as reading. Not only are some of the post disrespectful but some were just flat out disgusting and crule. Jesse, how'd you suggest cleaning it up?

I guess there will always be those people cowering behind their computer screens saying stuff they really shouldnt. Don't let em getcha down Kina! We are all behind you!

On the top 10 on digg, but @ j.c. nothing we can do really other than just keep burying the comments...

 
At January 8, 2008 11:29 PM , Blogger Jesse B said...

@ j.c. & ted
Yeah the only thing really is to bury the bad comments. Also you can report a comment as being offensive after you bury it. I believe a few too many offensive comments can get you kicked off as digg as well.

Also I agree, lots of people feel like they can say anything on the internet without a consequence. You just have to ignore them or try to write some good comebacks.

KINA!!

can i pay you to subscribe to my page? haha

random thoughts on youtube -
so many people do covers on youtube, they sing their hearts out and get discovered and i dunno... (e.g. esmee denters, airto, kina, etc) sigh...
i canNOT sing! lol =T but i can certainly rap!!! i've been writing/emceeing since i was 14 (i'm 15 now... jk)

but yeah.. so since i cant sing, i've taken popular songs and wrote lyrics that capture the song's heart and rapped over the original singing verses LOL

if ur interested, i have up a "behind these hazel eyes" rap remix LOL
youtube.com/remixthissong
i put a new remix every 1st and 15th each month...
so yeah... can i pay you? lol
take care,
Miko aka Miko
p.s. on the 15th - i am posting my "apologize" version. check it out if u can?? eh heh. =X

Mitsukai is Japanese for Angel, so I'm told. It simply holds significance for me and a friend of mine. But my name is Ashley, and I'm from CA, though I wish I could visit Japan. Another beautiful video :) Keep going! You're so close! My friends and I are voting for you :)
