This is my first ever upload to DLive and my first ever Steemit Post.


I figured it would be best to start from the beginning. This was video'd by my dad @nathankaye 5 years ago when I was only 13 years old.
I was young, but I hope you like it anyway.
Thanks so much for watching.

My video is at DLive

Amazing talent. Welcome to steemit

Welcome to Steemit! Your dad is really cool. I expect he's been very supportive of your music. Have fun here.

Really nice👍😎

Fabulous one!!!

You are great and I love your video.

I really enjoyed the video! I think it is awesome and your dad did a good job shooting it.

Beautiful cover of a beautiful song! Welcome to Steemit, I hope you keep posting stuff like this, and have fun exploring and sharing more sides of yourself too :)

Looking at you play and I think you have great skills with the piano. Are there other instruments you play as well?

I have always enjoyed the sound of the piano, thank you for bringing your talent and skill to the platform.

I also think that at 13 yrs old you were already a great performer. You had a great voice then and would absolutely love to hear you now! With that much more talent and experience accumulated over time, it will be exciting to see.

Looking forward to seeing more of you here on the platform ^_^ A great place to be and also; welcome to Steemit! Nice to meet you :D

How many times do i see "Wicked Game" covered on Steemit!?
The Original will always stay the best & yall should work on yall creativity &
create original content!

You’re going to regret being so rude @luca1777!

Jesus Christ, Bro.... you should be a little bit more mature, to take constructive criticism + you put out the cover before! The open mic stuff you did was great & i supported it...
And i mean what i say even if you erase my comment: Covers lack big time in creativity...
How manny covers are better than the original?

Nah @luca1777.
This is her first ever post!
We need more people on the platform.
The mature thing for you to do when someone new posts their very first post, especially a teenager, is to welcome them, encourage them.
What you have done is extremely hostile and very immature.
What you said was destructive criticism.
Do you know the difference?
Constructive criticism is advising the person on how to improve the performance of what they did.
What you said was an outright put down and very rude.

Despite the fact that I personally prefer originals most of the time, to say that covers lack creativity is supremely ignorant and judgmental. Classical musicians almost only ever play covers. Are you saying classical musicians are lacking creativity?

Is Jeff Buckley’s version of Hallelujah not better than Cohen’s original? In fact, is it not the definitive version? (And I say that as an avid Leonard Cohen fan)
There are literally hundreds and hundreds of examples of where the cover versions of a song were equivalent to or better than the original.
And the judgment of better or worse is extremely subjective, which makes your destructive criticism dubious at best.

Moreover, this performance was recorded 5 YEARS AGO when SHemaiah was 13 years old! THAT was long before Wicked Game was turned into a fun in joke on MSP Waves radio in discord and perpetuated by some awesome Witnesses on our platform. Perhaps you’re not privy to this fact because you need to spend more time kindly connecting with people on Steemit rather than trying to make Steemians feel bad about themselves.
She’s really shy and really critical on herself so comments like yours will just scare her away, not only from Steemit, but potentially from performing.

Come on man! Where’s your head at?
How about you do the mature thing and admit you are wrong, that we should be welcoming new users and that trolling belongs only on the corporate social media’s.

My head is on top of a veggie warrior body, which together with my mind & soul forms a unit.
This unit pushes creativity & wants to push other creators on steemit.
This criticism has nothing to do with baby girl here as a person.
I wish her nothing but the best from my heart.
This criticism is for the decision to take a 5 year old cover song as introduction, that you! put out 2-3 weeks ago already.
Yall could have done a duett :)))
No, seriously:
I wanna hear original content from her, 2018....
Makes sense for a 2018 introduction, doesn't it..!?
And it's the watered down, bubblegum ,copy & paste
content (talking in general here, no offense to noone)
that we know from what you call "corporate social media"
which is destroying real creativity & artists, pushed by
major labels...
Whatever. It's all good. 1 Love. We prob. agree to disagree...
Create New!
Bless
