Thank you for sharing about your start. I sing on worship team and for different prayer and praise services. I didn't start sing until later in life. Always listening to someone else thinking I wish I could sing like them. God told me I sing the way he made me. No I don't sound like others but my voice to touch those that he puts in my pathway with the anointing. Love your personality and energy.😊❤
the introduction to this video is so encouraging, and for posting such a video here , for those of us here who cant afford vocal lessons, God bless Cheryl , long live Cheryl❤
Awwwwn. You are amazing. I belive Mrs Cheryl videos will be of so much help to you. ❤❤❤❤Take her videos as your vocal coaching sessions , until you can afford and even after because she gives us alot of gems. Rooting for you from Nigeria❤❤❤
@@ARTISTIC2.0 I already answered that i ve been looking for excersise, and not your poor attention. and yes , she is not real opera singer, its just fact. If you know an opera world you would understand what I mean and its not hate. bye
Hello, I wish I had the money to take your course. I'm 61 yrs old, and disabled, and even tho I have an ear for tone, I am not comfortable in singing myself. Music is a huge part of my life and it's always been a dream of mine to be able to sing in front of others. I just found your site and I have to say, Thank you. Thank you for doing these video's. Hopefully, If I follow them closely enough and work hard at it, I'll be able to make my dream come true.
Thank you, I have MTD from stress. A history of being told I can't/wasn't allowed to sing. My mum was actually a piano teacher, and while she was never mean, I just didn't have the natural talent she did, or her favourite students did. And because she was always sick with migraines I certainly never felt like I could practice much. Then I ended up in a 13 year relationship when he hated me listening to music , let alone sing! I was told off for daring to have a "tone" in my voice when I spoke to him. So I basically stopped talking a decade. Then I ended up in talking jobs 😅 after leaving him. Was doing well for a few years, and then had a double whammy in life and I started having major issues with voice and finally got diagnosed with MTD. Lost my job. 6 years later I'm starting again. Relearning myself! Thank you for this!!!!
the personal story in the beginning genuinely made me start crying because thats how it is for me, though my mom does support me we arent in a place where we can spend money on lessons. knowing that someone as talented as you has been where i am, is so mind blowing and touching. music and singing has been my passion since i was 5 and im 16 now, ive stopped for years because i didnt think i was good, but now im getting older and i wanna succeed my passion and get on a big stage in a arena and perform. one day i will definitely thank you infront of the world
It actually made me cry at the begining. You just kept me motivated. The fact that you just made this clear statement and said that it's about the will, patience, and training your voice and that all people have to start somewhere. You in just 5 mins supported me and calmed me down, instead of my own mother who is mocking me behind my back about wanting to be a singer, and the thing is that the money isn't the problem, the support is just not there and it's making me not to want to sing ever again. But I changed my mind I will do it again thanks to you.
Of course you will keep on singing if thats a good for your soul and then everyone is going to accept it,even your mother.Keep on shinning baby,my mother use to be less than a support at my beggining days as a girl but i never give Up and today she comes to my gigs as the first fan..Keep workin on It,the more you sing ,the better you sing.Cheryl is a great teacher to Keep on learning and enjoy your voice,your uniqueness
Can you imagine Little Cheryl Porter? Just this speech made me cry. Re-learning to sing when your body has been injured is SO difficult, but I am trusting you to help me bring out Little Me. All love! 🥰
cheryl mama i love you so much 😭 Singing has always been the dream of my entire life. I want to open people's souls with my music, but the path to it has been very difficult. I live in a country where I don’t understand the language, and all attempts to study vocals with a teacher were unsuccessful. I cried so many times because I couldn’t start fulfilling my mission. I know I have a beautiful voice, but I didn’t know how to reveal it. I am infinitely grateful to God that my prayers were answered. Thank you for such strong support, I love you very much. Thank you to that little Cheryl who didn’t give up and reached her goal.
Wow. Mama Cheryl… your story😢 You are doing Gods work. Thank you so much for your message. I am sooo excited to have found you!! You are truly such a lovely, strong, compassionate, and giving soul. 🕊️ I’m joining whatever you have in store for us🎉❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story.❤..It brought tears to my eyes because when I was around (8 or 9) years old, I was singing my heart out and my dad laughed at me....and I never attempted it again because I felt ashamed & embarrassed (and I was supposed to respect my elders 😢,)until now that I've found this lesson today July 30, 2024-60 years later...God Bless you Ms.Porter & thank you so much.❤
I feel bad for you I'm facing the same issue as you I wanna be a singer too but my parents won't support me and I'm 14 but now I got some inspiration. I think it is a sign😊
she makes me smile every single time I come to her videos. she is such a fun sweetheart! She gives me the strength to continue my music journey even with close people around me telling me I cannot sing. tysm
hey mama chery i feel like theirs a blocage in my throught that doesnt allow me to go high enough for me to sound great like u 😢@CherylPorterVocalCoach
I just found this channel right now and am very impressed, not only by your fantastic voice which made me speechless but also by your energy coming from your way of speaking, your overall expression and the way your motivation just shines through every word you say. I rarely heard a teacher who's presence ignites my already burning passion for singing even further. This series and this challenge will definitely play a big role in my journey. Thank you.
Think it’s a sign that I want to take singing more serious and this series just came out! Definitely found the one , your voice is beautiful and you just have that mama energy!!!
Before my mom passed away in 2017 she actually made a gospel Cd. You actually reminded me of her. You can listen to her cd On here. The name of the album is Put god first by Pam Lowe
At the beginning, I cried like never before, because just as you explained it, that's how I feel, I love singing, dancing, playing instruments, music at its best. I also love art in every sense, musical art, painting, the art of dancing, even ice skating or rhythmic gymnastics. But all the people around me tell me to stop dreaming about this, that singing, dancing and playing the piano can only serve as a hobby, but I don't see it that way, I see it as the part of me, that makes me I, I want to make a living from dancing and singing, and live for it, show it to the world, write my own songs, and if God allows me one day to be on stage and say "This is me" and for people to love me. both my voice and I do it. I am also low-income, and I put my best effort into learning online with videos, especially yours, because you transmit to me that vibe of trust and affection that people who are by my side today do not give me, I learn to play piano from 0 only with tutorial videos, I want to work so I can pay for dance classes, but I'm only 15 years old. My dream is to be a singer and dancer, and to be able to go far, I know that school is important and I work hard at it, but when we talk about future careers, I feel like I don't fit in, as if my future wasn't there, and everyone tells me I need to start settling down or else I'm just going to end up failing in life. But even with the world against me, I made the choice to follow my dream, my possibilities are low but not zero and I cling to them every day. My mother told me that if I was going to follow this "absurd" dream I would do it alone, and here I am. :) My name is Angelina, I am from Chile and I swear by what I love most, that one day you will see me on stage ☆
I could listen to you sing anyone's catalog, no matter the genre. Thank you for sharing your gifts of voice, personality, and teaching and encouraging others to explore their gifts. You are a blessing. ❤
thank you for sharing your testimony. I come from a lower-class family and always longed for singing lessons as well, but we couldn't afford them. That never stopped me from singing my little heart out, and just from that I continue to see improvement in my voice. I finished up my freshman year of college last school year, and it was like a wakeup call to me. I faced so much rejection when it came to my voice and hobbies. (like joining the advanced choir and making the cast list for theatre for both fall and spring plays, the fall play was a musical) I felt defeated, and my self-esteem dropped. However, that still didn't stop me from singing, nothing could destroy my love for singing. In a matter of fact, it only made me determined to improve it. I already saw improvement in my pitch and ability to sing on-key just by being in their concert choir. And I recorded me singing last month (in June), and I compared my singing from this month and last, and I see so much improvement, that it feels like my voice is more open and alive! I am always looking at your page for extra help and when I saw this video I decided to watch it. And I'm glad I did because your story at the beginning gave me hope that it is possible for me to be good at singing! Thank you, Cheryl, for all that you do! :D
You don't know how much I needed to hear this story! I love love love to sing. I volunteer for every choir, sing at every talent show. But I'm not that one that people seek our to lead songs despite my desire. I have a ten year old prodigy, they ask her to sing and she absolutely loves it. I'm so glad that she doesn't have to experience the rejection I feel, showing up for every practice, working three times as hard, yet watching someone put in minimum effort because the can just show up and blow! Oh but God has worked on my heart about that, now I'm embracing my voice, being happy loving my own voice because I don't want my sadness to diminish my daughter's natural ability. I see her as a special gift from God, reminding me, he sees me😊
ive always wanted to be a good singer. my mom had a gorgeous singing voice and, even though she died when i was 7, i still remember her singing to me when i was little. you're such an inspiration to me mama cheryl
My voice is not professionally trained but I have sung with everything I got since I was 12 years old. Freddie Mercury and gorgeous women like Tina Turner, Annie Lennox and Cher were my stars and I listened, I tried, I did everything I could to learn. Six years ago, my thyroid fell ill and my voice was kinda ruined. I didn't give up, I'm still trying to achieve something good with my new, lower and somehow rusty voice. I will follow this challenge! ☺
This is why I love Floor Jansen from Nightwish, she can sing any style and mixes it even within just one song, using classical, pop, rock, and more. Ghos Love Score live at Wacken is probably on of the best performances that were recorded of her.
Oh god maam🥹..im on minute 6:22 watching your video now ..your story telling is totally my story…i love so much about music since i was 12yrold but as lead guitarist then i stop at 18yrold..i gave up and play video game until last 2023..2024 is my beginning of my comeback and guess what?im 27yrold now😅 my return is not as a guitarist but as singer..now its my 8 month training without coach ..i train my vocal in my tiny car by watching random vocal training on youtube for 30 minute twice a day..just a warmup training..thankfully your lesson on youtube help me a lot now..im still not good singer but i see improvement on myself..thanks maam for the warmup and tips that u upload..it help me a lot..btw im from asia borneo malaysia😄..sorry if my english not good..now im gonna continue watching till the end of this video and other video..god bless yall who watching and you maam..🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
She has so much to offer , when you explained the story about becoming a singer in your personal life really touched my heart . Thankyou for being so strong to share that with us ! Your one of the greatest vocal coaches out there with a brilliant , angelic voice that is so touching ! The great passion you have has kept me motivated and determined and I haven't felt motivated in such a long time to really focus on my own singing. This is what I needed , discovering , or really digging deep into my voice and finding what genre best suits me, this is so helpful ! we love you so much Cheryl . You're creating so many superstars around the world , and I give thanks to you everyday for reminding me to crawl out of my shell and SHINE & remembering to be passionate about my singing ! we are grateful and blessed that you are creating such a significant change with us upcoming singers . Godbless you abundantly and we love you so much !!❤❤❤
This not only applies for singing, it applies for everything, finding your true self, your style, your true voice, I love her along with her story and I love her concept of being a superstar, I never imagined that she went through all that and still she is always really full of joy and life, wanting to do everything in a fun way and spreading love. Keep the nice work!
I cried when you told your story. I suffer from low self esteem, comparing myself to others, and it seriously makes me feel so bad. Thank you for this video. I can’t wait to impress my family and my vocal teacher:)
Ms. Cheryl, thank you so much for all your generous teaching and shepherding on this platform. I have followed you for years and taken years of vocal lessons. But in recent years my singing voice has closed off, and my last teacher and I saw how my mental obstacles around singing, are keeping me stuck. Thank you so much for sharing your personal story, bc it ministers to me today!! ❤❤
Thank you for the beautiful and genuine introduction. I come from a similar background, but I didn't discover my desire to learn to sing until recently (I'm in my early 30s). You captured the feelings of inadequacy and comparison perfectly. Thank you for the wonderful encouragement.
It means so much for you to do this for us for free. I can't explain what you're doing for people who. Live abroad and would not be able to learn from you in person. :) now I. Will make the most of these lessons. 😊
Im 26 years old and im not really confident in my singing abilities. I used to sing on the church and school choir, however, one day my high school choir director shouted at me in front of everyone that I wass offtune and couldnt sing and kicked me off the choir. I was so ashamed and embarassed that I never sang on a choir again. But now im back in church and on the choir and i want to improve my vocal abilities.
I didn't expect to tear up while she was sharing her story. I love these videos because I like singing, but I'm very shy as well as don't have the funds for singing lessons. I feel like not only are they encouraging and fun, but easy to understand and learning anything, even later in life, doesn't seem impossible. 🙏✨
My love for musical theatre has brought me here. I used to sing solos in church as a child but lost touch with my own voice overtime. I sing in the choir sometimes and did some community musical theatre but I would like to develop my voice so I can confidently sing in my next audition
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I am in the kitchen losing it as I miss singing in New York with my voice coach. Let me get myself together and do the darn thing, as I love theater musicals, but more importantly, finding my voice. Thank you, Mama Cheryl 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you soooooooo much!!!! You so sweet, so adorable! Bravo! And thank you for words of support at the beginning of the video. I wish you all the best!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ By the way I am a folk singer from Russia, but I love American pop and jazz music. Thank you so much for this opportunity to watch your lessons here!!!! Thank you again!!! Your video helped me to start believe in myself again after loose in the competition! I feel that I want to sing again after one month of silence and depression😭❤🥰💞☀️🔥💃🏼🤩🥹
I LOVE your passion!!! A lot of what you said resonates with me and how I feel about drawing! Lately, I've been trying to get better at singing, so my friend recommended your channel, and WOW!!! You are GORGEOUS and I LOVE you and your positive vibes!!
Your story aches my heart I feel as if you're speaking to me I wish I knew you yes ago to get that boost I'm getting now in life also to have u as my vocal trainer, you are truly a super hero as my daughter would say lol , love u cheryl stay blessed
I took singing lessons for two years and have been studying on my own for four years because I can no longer afford lessons. I love finding new ways to develop myself. Even though I miss my teacher a lot, I'm glad that you pass on such great tips on TH-cam and show this unique, motivating energy. Thank you for that! I can't wait to try your challenges!😁
I also love ur voice I want to be like you when I grow up you are so confident in your voice and I love it so much you inspired me to sing I have subscribed love your videos so much
This is exactly what i need! I have practicing my voice all by myself and i wondering what I should practice to get better and so i don't practice the wrong things. Because i never had a song coach and think this is going to help me so much. Thank you so much Cheryl!🙏🏼❤️
Your starting story was so beautiful to me, im following you immediately!😂❤ your story sounds close to mine, your so incredibly awesome and talented. Proud of you even if u don’t know me! This video really helped me gain some confidence i didn’t know I needed❤❤❤😊
How am i 4 minutes into this video and tearing up. Your words resonated with me more than I could have expected. I cant wait to watch this course!! Ive always watched you here and there doing lessons in the car and wishing I could meet you, so Im really excited to get to see this!! Thank you so much!
i tried singing the same song before and after this lesson and the 10 minutes workout, it's literally day 1 and i can already hear differences ??? thanks to u I found the strenght to start learning singing, i've always loved that but i'm scared, thank u, really, my dream is to meet u irl (i'm also saving up since years to learn singing)
I feel grateful to find this woman, really I was moved by her story and I think many people could relate. I want to learn to sing but I can't because my parents don't trust me and I can't afford to pay for lessons.
Oh My Goodness! I cant remember sitting and smiling "all the way through a video"! Thank you so much! 79 here! Sure wish I had met you when Iwas younger, but sure am gappy to be here now!
Thanks Cheryl, I saw you for the first time in an Italian tv channel and you stayed in my heart. I sing Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Cha cha, Pop, Neo Soul, Funky, a little Jazz but I'll try to learn some Opera and Musical Theater techniques.
Who else just loves her 30 seconds into the video. She's so upbeat and cheerful.
Came for voice lessons, left with a life lesson 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

But I'm not that one that people seek our to lead songs despite my desire. I have a ten year old prodigy, they ask her to sing and she absolutely loves it. I'm so glad that she doesn't have to experience the rejection I feel, showing up for every practice, working three times as hard, yet watching someone put in minimum effort because the can just show up and blow! Oh but God has worked on my heart about that, now I'm embracing my voice, being happy loving my own voice because I don't want my sadness to diminish my daughter's natural ability. I see her as a special gift from God, reminding me, he sees me😊
ive always wanted to be a good singer. my mom had a gorgeous singing voice and, even though she died when i was 7, i still remember her singing to me when i was little. you're such an inspiration to me mama cheryl
im so sorry for your loss, i hope you find singing as a way to feel near to your mother and let that bring you happiness and closure ❤️
She had us all crying and in awe. I cannot believe this is free. Youre amazing i cant thank you enough
I fell here and that was the happiest fall of the year. Nice to meet you Mrs. Porter.
I just love you, coach. You're such a beautiful and wonderful coach. Stay beautiful and kind.
YOU SINGING JAZZ MADE MY DAY😭
I just turned 50 yrs old five days ago and my passion & love for singing is still on 🔥 n I need to find my true voice . Taking this Challenge 😬
My voice is not professionally trained but I have sung with everything I got since I was 12 years old. Freddie Mercury and gorgeous women like Tina Turner, Annie Lennox and Cher were my stars and I listened, I tried, I did everything I could to learn. Six years ago, my thyroid fell ill and my voice was kinda ruined. I didn't give up, I'm still trying to achieve something good with my new, lower and somehow rusty voice. I will follow this challenge! ☺
Great choices ❤
Talking straight to my inner child Cheryl, sending you so much abundance, love and gratitude for this
I loved the Jazz demonstration! Your timing is impeccable!❤
Jesus is the way the truth and the life 🙏🏾😊
Yes, he is! ❤
Amen! 🙌🏽
Yes he is!!❤
Good thing if he was real tho
You spelled Taylor Swift wrong
This is why I love Floor Jansen from Nightwish, she can sing any style and mixes it even within just one song, using classical, pop, rock, and more. Ghos Love Score live at Wacken is probably on of the best performances that were recorded of her.
Feels like you’re the only person that understands. I just love you Mama Cheryl.❤❤❤Thank you for helping us.

She has so much to offer , when you explained the story about becoming a singer in your personal life really touched my heart . Thankyou for being so strong to share that with us ! Your one of the greatest vocal coaches out there with a brilliant , angelic voice that is so touching ! The great passion you have has kept me motivated and determined and I haven't felt motivated in such a long time to really focus on my own singing. This is what I needed , discovering , or really digging deep into my voice and finding what genre best suits me, this is so helpful ! we love you so much Cheryl . You're creating so many superstars around the world , and I give thanks to you everyday for reminding me to crawl out of my shell and SHINE & remembering to be passionate about my singing ! we are grateful and blessed that you are creating such a significant change with us upcoming singers . Godbless you abundantly and we love you so much !!❤❤❤
This not only applies for singing, it applies for everything, finding your true self, your style, your true voice, I love her along with her story and I love her concept of being a superstar, I never imagined that she went through all that and still she is always really full of joy and life, wanting to do everything in a fun way and spreading love. Keep the nice work!
Wish we could post videos of us singing in the comments ❤
😂😂
Now this is some professional vocal coaching. Thank you so much, mama Porter. Sending love from Nigeria and counting the days till I can meet you.
You are so incredibly talented. Why are you not on Broadway honest to God your talent is phenomenal
I cried when you told your story. I suffer from low self esteem, comparing myself to others, and it seriously makes me feel so bad. Thank you for this video. I can’t wait to impress my family and my vocal teacher:)
Ms. Cheryl, thank you so much for all your generous teaching and shepherding on this platform. I have followed you for years and taken years of vocal lessons. But in recent years my singing voice has closed off, and my last teacher and I saw how my mental obstacles around singing, are keeping me stuck. Thank you so much for sharing your personal story, bc it ministers to me today!! ❤❤
Thank you for the beautiful and genuine introduction. I come from a similar background, but I didn't discover my desire to learn to sing until recently (I'm in my early 30s). You captured the feelings of inadequacy and comparison perfectly. Thank you for the wonderful encouragement.
I feel like I can sing but everyone tells me I can’t. So I’m on a journey to prove to myself I can do it. 🤗
That classical and Jazz my oh my are my favourite singing styles 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🥰😊☺️😍🌻🌻🌻💯💯💯💎💎💎👑👑👑👑🤍🤍🤍☀️☀️☀️💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚♥️♥️♥️ refreshing
It means so much for you to do this for us for free. I can't explain what you're doing for people who. Live abroad and would not be able to learn from you in person. :) now I. Will make the most of these lessons. 😊
Your overwhelming positivity is contagious. Thank you!
TE AMO you make me cry so hard with your words
Im 26 years old and im not really confident in my singing abilities. I used to sing on the church and school choir, however, one day my high school choir director shouted at me in front of everyone that I wass offtune and couldnt sing and kicked me off the choir. I was so ashamed and embarassed that I never sang on a choir again. But now im back in church and on the choir and i want to improve my vocal abilities.
Gosh musical theater really just gives you THE FEEELL LIKE YOU ARE LETTING OUT YOUR OWN GRIPES AND FEELINGS DEFYING GRAVITY WAS SUCH A GREAT EXAMPLEEE
Any Brazilian watching this video or just me?🇧🇷
Aqui estou!
Aquí estamos
euuuu
I'm Surinamese 🇸🇷... your neighbour land ❤
@@ChaveroVisje I don't know it completely, but it's a very interesting and beautiful country.❤️👀
I didn't expect to tear up while she was sharing her story. I love these videos because I like singing, but I'm very shy as well as don't have the funds for singing lessons. I feel like not only are they encouraging and fun, but easy to understand and learning anything, even later in life, doesn't seem impossible. 🙏✨
My love for musical theatre has brought me here. I used to sing solos in church as a child but lost touch with my own voice overtime. I sing in the choir sometimes and did some community musical theatre but I would like to develop my voice so I can confidently sing in my next audition
Hola desde Argentina!!!🇦🇷👋 Tengo 51 años y estoy aprendiendo a vencer mis miedos e inseguridades!! Gracias por tus palabras! Lo voy a lograr!!
So far, the jazz example and the defying gravity song… 👩🏾🍳💋Love hearing you sing!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I am in the kitchen losing it as I miss singing in New York with my voice coach. Let me get myself together and do the darn thing, as I love theater musicals, but more importantly, finding my voice. Thank you, Mama Cheryl 🥰🥰🥰
Blessings for you baby, you can do it!!💪❤
Thank you mama Cheryl, this will really help me❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story. I needed to hear this! When a kid knows his path he just knows.
This video felt like a big warm hug 😢
Thank you soooooooo much!!!! You so sweet, so adorable! Bravo! And thank you for words of support at the beginning of the video. I wish you all the best!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ By the way I am a folk singer from Russia, but I love American pop and jazz music. Thank you so much for this opportunity to watch your lessons here!!!!
Thank you again!!! Your video helped me to start believe in myself again after loose in the competition! I feel that I want to sing again after one month of silence and depression😭❤🥰💞☀️🔥💃🏼🤩🥹
You did a good job sticking to the facts.

I took singing lessons for two years and have been studying on my own for four years because I can no longer afford lessons. I love finding new ways to develop myself. Even though I miss my teacher a lot, I'm glad that you pass on such great tips on TH-cam and show this unique, motivating energy. Thank you for that! I can't wait to try your challenges!😁
I also love ur voice I want to be like you when I grow up you are so confident in your voice and I love it so much you inspired me to sing I have subscribed love your videos so much
This is exactly what i need! I have practicing my voice all by myself and i wondering what I should practice to get better and so i don't practice the wrong things. Because i never had a song coach and think this is going to help me so much. Thank you so much Cheryl!🙏🏼❤️

How am i 4 minutes into this video and tearing up. Your words resonated with me more than I could have expected. I cant wait to watch this course!! Ive always watched you here and there doing lessons in the car and wishing I could meet you, so Im really excited to get to see this!! Thank you so much!
i tried singing the same song before and after this lesson and the 10 minutes workout, it's literally day 1 and i can already hear differences ??? thanks to u I found the strenght to start learning singing, i've always loved that but i'm scared, thank u, really, my dream is to meet u irl (i'm also saving up since years to learn singing)
Your love and interpretation of music and singing is contagious ! I love it, thank you !
The last part of Your Jazz singing was fun
I feel grateful to find this woman, really I was moved by her story and I think many people could relate. I want to learn to sing but I can't because my parents don't trust me and I can't afford to pay for lessons.
I love u Momma, this helped a great deal, am gonna try it consistently
One of things I wanna do...meet Cheryl Porter. I just love this woman
Oh My Goodness!
I cant remember sitting and smiling "all the way through a video"!
Thank you so much!

So grateful for this. Thank you so much. Blessings and love for you.
Thanks Cheryl, I saw you for the first time in an Italian tv channel and you stayed in my heart. I sing Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Cha cha, Pop, Neo Soul, Funky, a little Jazz but I'll try to learn some Opera and Musical Theater techniques.
