General comments:
1. Start seems strange, a bit shriekish-sharp? Seems to have a voice break at about 0.43 - 0.47

2. Starts not so good, but 1.08 onwards is okay. Helps that she smiles :)

3. Good

4. Can't pinpoint what's wrong, but she's just weird. First few lines her volume just suddenly went up at the end of each line...

5. Okay until highest note went off at 2.40

6. Similar to No. 1

7. Good

8. Similar to No. 1, 4.03 part a bit strange

9. Good

10. Good

11. Very good, seems effortless!

12. Good

*13. Excellent, sounds almost like an instrument esp. at 6.22 onwards

14. Seems to be worst of the lot, or I just can't appreciate her style.

15. Good

16. Highest note seems a LITTLE bit off at 7.48 - 7.49

17. There's a break at 8.15 which shouldn't be there

**18. Perfect control. In terms of technique the only one that can match No. 13.

***19. Sounds effortless! Helps that she's graceful and her performance is pleasant to watch.

20. Just downright irritating.
