  21. blissgirl Says:

    Watching it again I see subtle brilliance: she wakes in the morning w/ makeup from her stage performance on. Foreshadowing or endless loop?

    One on the best on this site. I will be voting for it, great job.

  82. liamv Says:

    u r numero uno

  83. liamv Says:

    Nothing but the best, that’s it.

  88. stashine Says:

    Like all true art ~ each viewing yields a newness. This is really good stuff and is a clear winner.

  89. amoreno Says:

    Your “people” must have left the above comments b/c, this was terrible! I made it through to the end, but the
    acting was horribly bad. Sorry

  90. amoreno Says:

    bad acting…really took away from the film, made it seem like the bad singer/actor was just being promoted here… & badly at that

  91. abellamy Says:

    I really like it. Very artistic and the message it conveys is timeless and relate able.

  92. bitobum Says:

    I only made it through because it was 139 seconds long.

  93. chickensoup Says:

    I don’t get it…. i have to agree with amoreno… haha =)

  94. liamv Says:

    you should be calling yourself chickenbrains if you DON’T GET IT

  95. victory99 Says:

    Funny skits, beautiful singing, and great song!!

  96. rfernandez Says:

    mariana ladas this is you friend from brandos raul i watch you video is little scare in the bigining but is very nice and a like how you sin

  97. lucky Says:

    I really appreciate any honest and candid opinions, and am glad to read them! Thank you, Amoreno and Chicken for watching and commenting.

  98. lucky Says:

    Though I would add that I dont feel this to be promotional, in any sense more than any video is of a persons life, cause this is her life.

  99. lucky Says:

    There’s room for comments that bring cause for thought other than the usual “oh you’re so great.” Open discussion is applauded and welcomed.

  100. amoreno Says:

    Well, I’ll tell you one thing. If anything it does stick in your head. Bit to harsh before. : )

  101. pinky Says:

    I liked that the people in it weren’t ‘great actors’ but real people who aren’t perfect.

  102. lucky Says:

    Thanks Amoreno, and it’s obvious, their not professional actors, their real people in her life, that’s our warehouse guy, lol, etc.

  103. greg899 Says:

    The music is very good!

  104. dotycoyote Says:

    Great video — a real winner!

  105. blondbombshell Says:

    I agree with Lucky unlike some of the other vids who’s desperation to win reaks throughout by going out & CLEARLY hiring pro actors, SpareMe

  106. blondbombshell Says:

    If this was done on a tight budget which it obviously was then just image what they could do with the $$!! It would really kick the others..

  107. liamv Says:

    when you have the guts to create from scratch even though you know you might be criticized, that’s brave.

  108. lucky1 Says:

    I found it a little soft, but overall I liked it.

  109. lipstix Says:

    excellent video!

  110. jmcbarber Says:

  114. mrbrutallyhonest Says:

    bad acting, great voice,nothing original except song
    not a winner nor a wienner, fun good luck.

  115. adivino9 Says:

    The video combines many facets of Marianna- her sense of humor, her daily work, her spirituality, beauty and most of all, her creativity!

  116. luluu4u Says:

    A day in the life, I can relate. Mind-waking up, body-yoga, work,(which can suck some days)and singing-the creative side. Loved it.

  117. ianc Says:

    The acting was far from being decent, but I still like this video.

  118. cynthiarose Says:
